And we’re fixing ranger

We’re bringing prestige classes back.

Wizards of the WOKE

Thank you guys so much for mentioning the Attribute Tree system! I'll look into that Leadership suggestion!

Gorks? It is definitely clear you haven't watched any of the Star Trek shows, or Star Trek Online. Gorn. If you've watched Jupiter Ascending, they are known as the Sargorn. Every single movie iteration seem to incorporate 'gorn' as part of the name. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds features them as the primary antagonist in seasons 2 and the upcoming third season. To make full sense of the start of season 1's opening minutes you'll want to watch Star Trek: Discovery as the first 15 minutes is the conclusion of Discovery Season 2. As far as Goblin Slayer's Shaman goes, it makes absolutely no sense that he does not like milk yet he absolutely enjoys cheese. It's made from milk, even if only the curds. My personal choice for characters in D&D, Pathfinder, and others that will allow it, is lizardfolk monk. My personal beef with the lizardfolk is the absolute need for WOTC (and Paizo) to kill their intelligence score for the simple reason they don't interact with the outside world. Given Intelligence in 3 / 3.5 / Pathfinder 1e is used for skill points and for several key skills that help them, it makes absolutely no sense to do so. A drop in Charisma makes much more sense. As such, for Pathfinder I always heavily customize the character race to my personal taste. My Pathfinder character os always the Unchained Monk as it allows me to not take the useless-to-me abilities that I never use. Survivors of a fallen empire: that is the canon backstory for the ancient days of Faerun. In Neverwinter Nights 1 the player travels back in time in Act 3 and physically visits the ancient empire before the climate change happened to effectively end the empire. Neverwinter Nights 2's main game follows the idea of lizardfolk being forced out of their tribal lands to come into conflict with human coastal towns and villages. You have a choice to either take them out or gradually form a partnership with them. The Lizardfolk who joins you (Stan?) is only temporary in Act 1 but a strict NPC in Act 3 if he survived. As far as the divergence of Lizardfolk appearing first in 4e? That's not really true. They had many different types and abilities in 3.5 monster manuals. I think Monster Manual 3 and 5 are where they introduce them. Blackscale, Poison Dusk (The only small-size, literal chameleon), and two others in MM3, and I forget the single entry in MM5.

Befuddlement is my middle name

I think the options presented in the 2024 PHB make it easier for brand new players to create characters and get them onboard. For anyone with experience of TTRPG's it feels a little simplistic but given the 'secret formula' is stated it's easy to make your own backgrounds which I suspect (like yourselves) will be present in the DMG. Early in the video you did some to mix/swap BACKGROUND and BACKSTORY. Technically two entirely different things so that's something to be mindful of. I am only speaking from a a 5e baby though so I've always had to select a background as part of making my characters. Overall the video raises fair points and criticisms though.

Personally I like the shift of ability bonus from species to background. For my new campaign I've allowed players to swap out 1 Ability Score and Skill of their choice, then we choose whatever for the flavor. Basically, I like the bones but not the flesh

Bevor Backgrounds i was angry about level 3 Subclasses -> Cleric, Warlock, Sorcerer, Paladin (feels wrong) With the new Backgrounds i can`t,... It is so bad for me, i want to hit something. You can`t escape this, with every character you will see this abomination of a rule again! DMG will most likely have a optional rule -> thats not the right way, it should have been in the PHB.

Good stuff guys. I also feel very pigeon-holed into doing something they wanted me to do. It feels dumbed down.

I've been playing TTRPGs for 40 odd years, and like you I'd never played D&D where a background was a thing. However, since I've been playing 5e, I kind of like the backgrounds. When making a character I don't usually go with the "Standard/expected" background for a class. I like to mix and match so it adds more to the characters backstory and gives more flavour. A couple of examples. I have a Warlock who has the archaeologist background. It led to him finding an ancient tome that was the conduit to his GOO patron. He opened the book and after reading it his mind was transported to the edge of the universe. Okay, so he's slightly worse for wear from seeing what he did, and a little on the crazy scale, but what Warlock isn't a tad crazy for making a pact with a powerful entity?!? I have another character that is a rogue, whose background is acolyte. He couldn't keep his sticky fingers from dipping into the collection box, and was always tempted by the sins of gambling and misdirection. He left his order and became a full time rogue, but still donates some of his ill gotten gains to his old order. The backgrounds are there to make more rounded characters instead of looking to optimise the character to its absolute best. Now there's nothing wrong with doing that either, I've had plenty of 5e characters that I've done that with. I just thing there's more to the game than min/maxing. I haven't read 5e24 yet, so I can't comment on the new recommendations (I don't like the word rules for RPGs as they are all optional) but once I do, I'll have more of an insight as to whether I'll use them at my table or not.

Sammy Hotsteppa🔥 and Thadeu the Bold 🌞, beautiful names for beautiful characters we need to play them and make a great story dude!

So we tried something very different with this episode's format, the audio gets buggy at times, apologies and thanks for your patience!

How do you manage the stealth then? Magic. Bat magic

Love the gnolls, would like more of the gnolls lore and like possiblites of playing a gnoll in a dnd campaign, or what if a gnoll is independent, doing bounty hunting or merecnary work, not being dangerous. Or learning the common tounge

From my perspective D&D and maybe the DM´s have focused more on the background/lore of the characters and worlds, leaving aside the general settings of the game, I want to play and adventure that gives me the same effect that I got from playing Silent Hill the first time in my room alone, I mean If you name it like Book of Vile Darkness, you have to make it realy scary.

A doody?!

I love your reviews on the classes! Thanks for your comprehensive analysis!

CYOA are a big drama in Intellectual Property drama. There are books but you can't use the name and the owners of the name are still publishing but not under Packard

Ironicaly I do remember seeing the show and i was younger 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think a lot of the mechanics are really good - but you’re right - there needs to be some type of permanent decisions, rather than you changing everything in a whim. But I’m very excited for weapon masteries, new spells, and seeing the new artwork.

While I enjoy modern take on dnd more, I think they should have OSR-style more grounded spin-off branch of dnd at least for variety sake. Some people will get tired of power fantasy eventually and will convert from casual to hardcore players, so there would always be a market for that.

Yea it’s for us lol

it's for 'everyone', which excludes us.

Man fuck wotc🎉

That arrow shot was against a warlord on the steppe and a natural 18 or higher! And Edi applied all the penalties to the shot

The way I see, they have made the non-humans as just reskined human

The changes are for people who hate any type of restrictions.

The way I usually DM is by having notes about the desires and motivations of the npcs and things they won't budge on. That way there's although room to improvise incase someone does something I didn't think of

I'm not alone in thinking that the art direction for the new D&D edition is hot garbage. I feel like I fell asleep in 1988 and am having a nightmare where the "satanic panic" not only took over TSR and fully infiltrated its creative team, but also remade D&D in their image. Then to complete D&D's rebirth, they spewed toxicity at their existing fans in order to push them away and make room for their preferred new type of fan.

Put a chick in it and make her gay

Warhammer has the best orcs. They’re big green and nasty

It's for players that like being overpowered. That seems to be their business structure, entice players by making their characters more powerful.

I personally think ranger isn't any better with this change. They've based the entire class around a level 1 spell that doesn't scale until extremely late into the game. It's 1d6 you spend a BA and concentration on. They could have done a lot more imo

you can definately see the progression in the overly sensative culture. where no Races have an incletnation for evil anymore and there are a bunch of people in wheelchairs in the art. because in a world where a healer is around every corner someone would choose to enter a haunted tomb in a wheelchair

OK, now I have a new book tittle to look for. Never heard before about Dying Earth! And the Dungeon Meshi's part made me smile. A setting like that would be really cool for a D&D campaign!

Sorry for the re-upload, had an anomaly at the end of the episode. No worries, the llamas responsible for editing have been sacked 😂

I love this new format, more podcasty!

for a little tip, the paladin smite is complete and utter garbage all the would have to do, was change it to once per round. the way it is presented, if you use it a) it can be countered, b) can't be used when silenced, c) can't be used vs monsters that have magic immunity you also have to use your bonus action to use it, so no PAM attack, GWM Attack when using your single smite => you loose dps when you smite with such a setup until you use at least a lvl 3 spell slot they try to mask this bs with waving a carrot before you with the "free" find steed, which is useless in 95%+ of any campaign the single bonus smite you get is useless, since you loose damage when you even use it the robbed any kind of versatility of the paladin and top it off, aura of protection is now level 7, ... so paladin is now about D-tier ( a niche build might be useable in same rare cases )

Battlemaster subclass looks VEEERY interesting, can't wait to try it out with the weapon specializations

d&d 2024 sucks

Just as an update, when we recorded this video there was practically nothing online about the converse sneakers, they have been released since then.. I think the black ones are the coolest ones *cof cof evil producer... Size 12us cof*

Middle-Aged Barbarians, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!

The "Prostagma?" when talking about Age of Mythology made me smile. Good memories

You guys are great this video really helped me on my worldbuilding

What i would do is somebody dies they would meet a god ex myrkul and they make a deal. Mabey they trade their soul or become a servent to them in echange for a revive. And incorporate that into the story.

whattt? catchy title ❤🙋🏻‍♂️🎩👁️😹💪🏼
