Great video! The one thing this doesn’t seem to account for is heavy+ hits. In which case multiple attack without power attack can yield more damage output. I would think the most optimal routine would be 1AP normal attack 1AP disadvantage attack 2AP disadvantage attack This gives you more chances to add Heavy+ hits. It is a gamble but DisAdv1 is not a drastic hindrance with the numbers in DC20. Typically monsters/enemies have fairly obtainable defense thresholds fairly reachable even with DisAdv1. All in on 1 super attack is a good strategy but putting a little risk in the routine to land more hits with Heavy should yield the highest damage in a turn but it is also less consistent. The value of it does increase a lot if you incorporate an impact weapon or dual wielding but that is more technical than this gets into.

So a strength based character is going notice (awareness) something as easily as an intelligence base character (if they have the same prime modifier)?

Interestingly, if you consider tieing to be a secial case, it is semetical where there are 4 possibilites for a regular sucess. Keep up the good work.

Degrees of success is one of my favorite things in DC20. It was good in Pathfinder 2e with its 4 degrees of success, but DC20 kicks it up several notches with the by 5 system! -Gary @Roll With Us DMs

Great video my brotha time to study up! 🔥🔥🔥💯

LOVE this Mechanic! Thanks for highlighting it!

I really like the ideas of degrees of success, regardless of playing system. I have a mantra of a natural 20 isn't an automatic success at your attempted action, but it's the best you could have possible done. Even a moderate roll can have modifiers push the total up to something pretty incredible, especially at higher levels of play.

Makes sense. I don't see why people were getting this wrong?

🐧=👍 🐧🐧=👍👍 🐧🐲=💜

So are we okay with everyone not understanding the nuance of math and just assuming a 6 isn’t a failure by 5 or that a 15 is a success by 5. Because I see a lot of people (myself included) getting that wrong

… second

Spread the dc20 love

How much did that man get paid for an incomplete game?

not sure i'm a fan of multiple checks penalty, though I can see the good intention and would have to playtest it to really feel the implications and in-game flow

New martial fighter class is broken with nick. Fighter at level 3 can destroy/solo most tier 1 stuff. I watched a fighter do something like 60hp of damage in one round with action surge.

I've been wanting to duel wield for my first playthrough this is PERFECT!!!!!

If I'm dual wielding short swords (which have the "guard" property), do I get to add +2 to my PD or is that capped at +1?

💜🐧💜🐲💜🐧💜

Great video as always. :)

Casting cantrips or spells can't be dualwielded I guess? If a creature had both hands free, it could cast with one, then the other hand🧐 As of right now there aren't any specific rules about what spell requires what kind of component, dont know how somatic components are ruled, do i need 1,2 or no free hand? If casting requires 1 hand, that would be a strong case for dualcasting/wielding spells🤷🏼‍♂️

Makes senses, thanks for the videos

So do you use 1 action point for both attacks or 2, one for each?

This is actually very helpful.

Quick clarification, sword in one hand and shield in the other counts as duel wielding. It’s okay to use the same sword for the second attack? I’m confused since the rules say attack with the other hand. If we sue the shield as the attack what damage base should be okay (I’d go with 1).

I was just reading out this in the rules. Thank you for the clarification!

10:08 just a heads up from my short story with the system: when i first got into dnd i was in a Homebrew world of my DM friend. I thought on a whim 'hm I'm an Aries with Cancer rising soo let's see what character i can come up with that idea' and i created a faun monk covered with a shell of crystals (some sort of magical illness) Fast forward on me picking up DC20 AND I SHIT YOU NOT MY FELLOW GEEKS, i got into making my character again and for the first time since 2015 i actually sat down and thought through a better background and how to roleplaying my martial moves because the ancestry system is so damn robust. All these creative options that impact your gameplay and game feel are inspiring like hell yall ❤💪🏻🤘🏻

Not me not commenting on day one Great work my brotha love the video! <3

After I've watched your last video, it got me thinking that 2 weapon fighting would net some good AP efficiency since you don't incur in MCP for one extra attack... so I was curious about it, can 2 attacks at ADV beat this number you've got with 2 PA on one attack?

So maybe it's because I almost never played martial characters in D&D, (other than an occasional ranger) but this video honestly confused the heck out of me. I apologize for that, and I'm not even sure what I'm "not getting."

Nice work mate. This video + the last one gives a fantastic starting point for working out the best routine for specific characters.

Great vid. You just made something click for me about scaling encounters to different player skill levels. Also the Basic Options reference is 😙🤌

As always, great video! But sibxe there's much more than just Attacks, ADV and PA, you can do somuch effective stuff even with other Offensive or Skill Actions

I’ve always assumed using an AP to give ADV so you have at least 1 was a very efficient use of resources, and I tell that to new players if they’re struggling to figure out how to use their AP. Its good to know there’s a simple ‘optimal’ way to use all 4 AP on a basic attack, and you can just knock off one or both Power Attacks if you need AP for other things, or add more PA if you already have ADV

What about changing power attack for sweep attack? The 1 damage to another target could increse depending on the roll

Oooh first

Seeing pack tactics made me smile. 😄

Thanks for making this video, it’s super helpful

Okay, now you need to make a Leopard Sealborn.

Quick question: can I import this into my foundry vtt module for dc20 will of coruse put in penguinborn by ClaudioWild in the folder section

Awesome. 🙂👍🏻 Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2025 🎉

And again you further your stance as a hero for the DC20 community!

You are the Treantmonk of DC20!

the best ancestry in the game, much better than those silly dragonborn 😎

This confirms I am going to be playing as Big Z from Surfs Up in my first DC20 playthrough

Default Traits - Yeah, those make sense Expanded Traits - 100% SPOT ON!

Great video! I think the ADV may work better, after it's tested. Regardless, it sounds like fun! Can't wait to make a puffin!

I'm getting ready to start a new in-person campaign and this video couldn't have come at a better time. I am 100% going to be offering this as an option for my players! Great work, Claudio!

Cute! Lets play a icy adventure in a ecuatorial place in which we drive a "nucleare charriot" after all the "charriot goes clip-clop"
