Great video. Quick question. Is there a list somewhere with all the uncommon, rare etc items? I know the players HB has one but there have been so many released across various books
We used the D&D Beyond magic item page to help filter the items! It made life a lot easier and that’s where we grab our screenshots too. www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items
@JNJTabletop thanks a million for all your help!
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching!
I feel like pirates could be good! They are just people on the high seas who don’t uphold or adhere to societal norms. Most do that by having a, uhm, questionable moral compass. But I would bet there were benevolent buccaneers boating about.
We appreciate everything about this comment 🏴☠️
They ruined this feat. I’m very very disappointed in this. I built my character around the 2014 feat. It’s WoC prerogative to do this, but I’m not sure why they chose this to nerf. You miss a lot, because it’s a trade off for the big damage.
Have you switched to the new version? Would your DM be open to using the old one?
Cool video, glad I came across you. I subscribed. Cheers!
So what they have done is take something that was easy to understand in the old rules into something more complicated in the new rules.
I wish I could disagree but that’s exactly what they did.
How did you guys decide what items the pcs would have on startup? Usually we start adventures with pcs having basic gear unless we have used the characters in previous adventures. I thought it was really cool having them start with cool gear
Hey, Jake here, I believe Josh took what the adventure gave us and used the guidelines at the time (2014 - DMG). It's been a few months, but I think we got the choice of 1 uncommon and 1 rare magic item and then we rolled for money (which we could spend ahead of time. We made a video about what I ended up choosing for Milo. If you're interested, it's right here: ua-cam.com/video/8JN81Hsb1Lw/v-deo.html
Thanks, I'll watch after work 🙂
Thanks for the clear explanation. Totally going to use this my next new character.
Happy to help! What kinds of weapons/masteries are you looking to use? Are you going for fun combos or raw damage?
Your in error, it’s not 7th level, it’s 6th level that you have 100%chance that it will bounce, 7th too, but at 6th you will bounce it to 7 targets. This gets better the higher you up cast it, at 3rd lvl it’s almost as much damage as a fireball; the only rub is you must make an attack roll X times, that is the only way a 6th level won’t bounce to 7 targets (assume you have 7 targets within 30’ of each other)
In order to have a 100% of a double means you need 9 dice when there are 8 possible results, so although you will almost certainly accomplish the task with a level 6 slot, the chance is still less than 100% at level 6. Don't forget that if you roll 8d8, it is technically possible to get results of 1-8.
@ I was incorrect but the math is a lot better than 1/8 (12.5%) or 88%; it the chance the birthday paradox math. 1st: 34.38% bounce 2nd: 58.98% bounce 3rd: 79.49% bounce 4th: 92.31% bounce 5th: 98.08% bounce 6th: 99.76% bounce 7th: 100% bounce
Oh yeah, most definitely better than 1/8!
About To run this mission and I plan on making the clapper in Petunias bell a wand of lightning bolts (custom Talos version) that the Anchorites want for the ritual. Big Al will be getting interrogated for the location when the party arrives.

Absolute Best Explanation I've seen. Thank you!
My pleasure! Happy to be of help!
It's always nice to see you guys
Boy. The innuendos were girthy in this episode!
Haha. Volcano in the Poconos, I didn't expect to laugh out loud.
That was definitely a flub that I decided to keep in the video 😂
I don't understand how you're adding your modifier to the bonus action attack you get from Dual Wielder. The feat supersedes the property, and it specifically says not to add the modifier. Just like how if you're using Shillelagh and a Staff with PAM, you don't get to use 1d8 as the damage die for the bonus action attack. The feat supersedes everything else. And i know there's the argument "oh it says AN extra attack", but it also says "AS A RESULT OF using a weapon that has the Light property". It's referring to the thing the Light weapon property gives you, which is now the Nick attack. Someone explain. WotC doesn't know how to do their job it seems. This is ridiculous.
Not having more examples in the book is ridiculous and would’ve been very easy to do. I know it feels like a lot to keep track of but you’re just mixing up one thing. Making an attack with a light weapon unlocks 2 potential attacks, the light property attack and the dual Wielder attack. Both are eligible for the Two Weapon Fighting fighting style feat because both are unlocked “…as a result of using a weapon that has the Light property…” Making the additional attack with a Light weapon is not what makes it eligible, originally being unlocked by a Light weapon does.
I realized I only addressed one part of your comment. You mentioned the feat (Dual Wielder) superseding the Fighting Style. I think this is classic Specific beats General. The general way additional attacks (unlocked by first attacking with a Light weapon) work is that you cannot add your ability modifier and the specific exemption is those that have the Two Weapon Fighting style. I hope this helps with the confusion!
@ Wouldn’t that logic allow Quarterstaff users with Shillelagh get a bonus action attack that does 2d6 + Mod?
If someone first attacked with a Light weapon (a Quarterstaff is not a Light weapon so there has to be another weapon involved) and the person had the Dual Wielder feat, then attacking with a Quarterstaff is an option at that point because it lacks the Two-Handed property. Shillelagh is not a factor in anything other than the attack roll and damage roll (the damage with Shillelagh would not be 2d6 unless the character was level 17).
@ No Bro, I’m talking about Polearm Master. PAM is another Feat that grants the player a bonus action attack if they meet certain conditions, just like Dual Wielder. So by your logic the Specific (Shillelagh mechanic) supersedes the general (PAM) which would make the bonus action attack use the Shillelagh Damage die instead of the 1d4 that the Feat says it has to use. But that’s obviously not intended at all. So adding your modifier to the bonus action attack from Dual Wielder is also not intended.

I just wanted to say thank you! I am a first time DM and we just finished Dragon of Icespire Peak. I added my own twists and my own pieces of the story here and there but your videos are what really and truly helped me throughout this campaign. Your advice was extremely helpful and I cannot thank you enough. My campaign wouldn't have been as fun as it was without your videos.
So happy to hear this! Congrats on completing your first DMing experience!! We’re proud to be able to help but we love that you added your own spin on things because every table is unique. Well done!!
This was a fantastic conversation, I really enjoyed it! 1:1 games sound like a lot of fun!
You can only use one bonus action on your turn, nomather how many feats or item descriptions you have, you still can only use one bonus action. The reason you can with Nick weapons for example allow to do a bonus attack as part of your attack, (that also counts for dual wielding) is, that you normaly cant use your bonus action as an attack. It normaly is ment to do other tasks, like second wind, misty step, healing word, or rogues can dash, disengade,.. Stuff like that. Thats why a bonus action is so valueble on an rogue and gives the bonus action so much value to them. Bonus Actions (PHB, p. 189): "You can take a bonus action only when a special ability, spell, or other feature of the game states that you can do something as a bonus action. You can take only one bonus action on your turn." I am sorry to dissapoint, but this explanation is wrong. There are two excaptions i am aware about,... as an soul knife you can use your bonus action to make an attack with you psyonic blade, but only if you have used your action for an psyonic blade attack. Only then you can follow up with the bonus action attack. It doesnt require you to hit the target, as far as i am aware, to follow up with an bonus action attack. And Monks can use their bonus action to perform an unarmd attack. One bonus action on your turn, not on others turn, alltho, generous DMs might allow you to hold the bonus action. The reason for all of this is the action economy. It basicly would destroy the implemented ballanceing. Maybe i interpret this wrong, but, as far as i know, this are the rules as written. I dont have years of Dm experiance, but enough to quit comfotably make an educated guess, that this is how it works.
Hey thanks for commenting! I’m not sure if you watched the whole video or not because I explain it pretty thoroughly, but the example and explanation in this video only uses 1 Bonus Action (the Dual Wielder feat attack). The Nick property changes the Light Property attack from a Bonus Action and makes it part of the Attack Action. As odd as it may seem, the rules here are both Rules as Written and Rules as Intended.
Stupid spell. Solution: don't let it scale
I might have missed it, but which weapon needs to have nick?
The weapon that can upgrade its attack from using your Bonus Action to part of the attack action needs the Nick property. I believe the weapon used in the example in this video is a dagger.
I know realism doesn't have much place in a world where there are dragons and magic spells, and we already got rules where in 6 seconds? you can only make 1 melee attack unless your super experienced. If I could only throw one blow in 6 seconds then my coach would of quit in disgust at the start. But there needs to be a system to make everything work game mechanics wise or you get no game. But to me sheathing a weapon in melee range of an opponent in RL would leave you open to an attack, unless you have knocked them back/offbalance and instead of capitalizing on that, you decided to sheath your weapon instead. I think this was designed so instead of dropping their range weapon, PCs and NPCS could stow it and pull out their melee weapon when an enemy closes to melee range. You could change it so you can only do this as a reaction, and it uses up your reaction for that round/and you can only do this once per round and not in between attacks during that round. I think your right that they made a mistake in tying these things to the Weapon and not the Character, which would lead to people wanting to do this.
how much would it be if you then hit action surge? Goes from 4 to 6? or is that 5? what happens when your also buffed with haste?
Using the example in the video, Action Surge would add 3 to the total and Haste would add 1.
@@JNJTabletop so 8 at level 5 damn!
Yes! If you buff the damage per attack in any way, it can get BANANAS!
@@JNJTabletop would that work with two hand crossbows and crossbow expert feat? would that be 6 attacks with action surge?
🤔 the hand crossbow has the Vex property so there aren’t any additional attacks from there. So, using the example in the video, you’d still get the standard 2 attacks when taking the Attack Action. Crossbow Expert would let you add your ability mod to the damage roll if you used your Bonus Action to make the Light Property Attack but, again, no additional attacks.
Thanks for explaining this. I certainly wouldn't allow a player to do this with a normal shield as the bulky thing would just get in the way of all the one-handed juggling that you'd have to do in the middle of combat to the point of absurdity, especially if you are using the dual wielder feat to bring a non-light weapon into the mix. Maybe you could manage it with a small buckler on one hand that would only give a +1 to AC but even that seems generous.
Your gift-giving example is right on. It's not about what they outright say they want, but all the little things you pick up on, about what they like, what they could/would use, what they enjoy, what they need, and none of those things are typically expressed openly like "I really want this." You just have to listen all the time, especially without asking directly. And when you see it later, out of context, you immediately know, "this is perfect for them." And when it's right, that's when you get the best reactions.
Its truly something to be treasured
Even though the wording is the same in Savage Attacker from 2014 to 2024, it is relatively improved in 2024 since it is an Origin feat and not a feat for which you are giving up an ability score improvement (although there is in 2024 the lost opportunity of getting another Origin Feat).
How do you interpret the timing of the rolls on the Lucky and Savage Attacker feats? Do you get to see the result of the first roll before deciding to use the feat for a second roll?
Luck says it gives you advantage so you, according to RAW, you declare that before you roll anything. Savage Attacker can be treated like advantage. Roll both at the same time.
I really appreciated your Guiding us to a few first level spell examples on Magic Initiate even if it pained your feet to do so.
Thank you as always for presenting your insights on a topic in a positive manner that considers several potential uses if not always the most common or popular.
I appreciate your initiating this introduction on the origins of feet(s).
I am going to do this one with my kids carrying over our characters after just having finished Dragons of Stormwreck isle (our first ever DND play)...is there any particular way to knit the two together that is already in the lore or other info? My plan is just to have them set sail from Stormwreck isle headed for Neverwinter (where they want to go) but have the ship make a few port stops south of Neverwinter first and then some big event happens that forces them off the ship (perhaps a kraken attacks and sinks the ship or something) and this leads them with the closest town being Phadalin. When they arrive they are asked for help or offered room and board in exchange for help and directed to the quest board. From there if they press on towards Neverwinter, I will put some of the quests from Icespire peak in their way along the way and give myself time to write a campaign focused on Neverwinter....unless there already is one? That's my plan...they will likely take the bait on at least a few quests in town before pressing on....
I don’t know of any specific or direct way to tie them together but the levels are close enough so it shouldn’t be too difficult to work with. Sounds like you’ve got a decent idea going already. It’s admittedly been a few years since I’ve looked at the source material but I think there’s a hook where Lord Neverember hires the group to investigate things in Phandalin. Maybea chance meeting with him can be the perfect tie in for you?
poor Daisy, she had such a tough go at it this fight.
No doubt about it. The dice completely betrayed her
I love dual wielding very nice rules
If you forget about the dueling feat and you're allowed to use thri-kreen you can use two light weapons and a shield heck you even have a hand free for somatic components so if you're a valor bard you can really go ham, and no need to worry about stowing or equipping you can just have everything you need since you have four arms
the only thing that i miss is if i add the dmg modifier on the third attack when i switch to a versatile weapon as i could thx to dual wielder. I think not, but if so, what's the point of let us do a bonus attack with smtg that is not 2hand?
Not 100% sure I understand what you’re asking but, adding your ability modifier to damage rolls of a successful attack that was unlocked by initially attacking with a light weapon… geez that’s a mouthful… only happens if you have the Two Weapon Fighting fighting style feat
@@JNJTabletop i was meaning this: with dual wielder u can make a bonus attack with smtg that is noth the same weapon and is not a 2hand weapon. Also, it ley you stow two weapon instead of 1. So this let you potentially make that BA attack with a versatile weapon handledd with two hands. In this case, will you add the dmg modifier for that Ba attack? i think not, even with two weapon style because it say " using a weapon that has the Light property". There's a lot of discussione abouth the interaction of all this feats and property but I was unable to find confirmation for this specific case. Also some guy speak about juggling etc using the interaction with objects rules to force the rule of draw and quick draw.
The Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style feat does not mention any conditions regarding the weapon used for the extra attack. It only mentions where the extra attack comes from (Light Weapon). If you are able to make any extra attack because you triggered it by attacking with a Light Weapon, you would add your ability modifier to that damage roll.
@@JNJTabletop ok i totaly misread. Regarding the round after the first, in which I used the versatile weapon as a bonus action, I will draw the two light weapons again, but then I wouldn't be able to store them both to draw and wield the versatile weapon with both hands
It’s a lot to navigate. I also made a video specifically dedicated to drawing and stowing. I could see that being helpful for you as well… Can you ACTUALLY use a Shield WHILE Two Weapon Fighting? | D&D 2024 Rules Update ua-cam.com/video/yPiZlrHM_5w/v-deo.html
@jnjtabletop are you guys going to do a series on a DM guide for running Vecna like you did with DIP? I really appreciated that series.
We have plans to, yes! We don’t know what the timing/structure will be on that yet. Lots of channels like to get there first, but we prefer to have experience behind what we say even if it costs us in terms of algorithm things.
@ wonderful! The DIP series has been a great help as I’m running it as a first time DM for my sons and a friend. Thank you for your help!
It’s truly a pleasure! So happy you find help with us 😊
The “seven all day” just took me back to my bar days 😂
Jake has worked in restaurants for most of his adult life!
What do you guys use to manage the music? I usually have a playlist but I end up spending time scrolling through it looking for the song I want. Do you guys use like a soundboard app or something?
A few years ago, Jake curated various Spotify playlists based on mood and tone. He actually has a link somewhere in his linktree (should be in the description) if you ever want to use them!
Super helpful
Glad it helped
Says or, so one or the other. Does not say and, so not one and the other. So equip or unequip 1 (does state the number of weapons that can benefit)
LOL Oh boy, getting put on blast. I did witness some of episode 11, but not all of it. I tuned into a conversation with Tasha (though I didn't know it was Tasha at the time), and then at some crazy battle in the Astral Sea hahaha BUT I truly have gone back and watched all of them!! And I absolut-lee need help, so no offense taken!
We truly appreciate it so much! You’re the real hero of the story!
@@JNJTabletop This episode was so fantastic. Any monster that can swallow characters is one of the things that scares me the most!
Good to have a contingency plan for those kinds of things 😉
Personally I think it should make oponents lose the spell slot if you cast it at a higher level than the spell level they used; or if they fail by 5 points less than the constitution DC they lose the spell slot. My point is that instead of delaying a spell like "power word kill" for the next round there should be a way to avoid letting the opponent instant killing a player without having to constantly use a 3rd level spell to delay the murder spell for the next round
Yeah, there's a whole lot of understandable strong feelings about this change. We have to wait and see the Monster Manual to confirm this, but most updated monster stat blocks we've seen so far don't actually use spell slots... which means this version would still burn the resource of the enemy. I know this next point might sound snarky, but that's not my goal. We've begun experimenting with 5.24 and after a successful Counterspell, we tend to focus fire on the enemy and that's a very viable path to preventing them from ever even going again. We're still mulling things over and testing things but, at least for us so far, this hasn't really felt as different as we originally thought.
Great video! I am prepping to play this with my kids. There are some great ideas. I ran this one myself for practice and had the orcs show up on the high ground on the north side of the gorge as my party left. They started with javelin attacks and my party scampered up the southern slope. One made it, (athletic check for the climb) and two got stuck in the gorge. The one that got to the ridge shot arrows at the orcs as they came down into the gorge. I made the orcs take a dexterity check to descend the hill. One fell flat on his face and took 2d4 damage. The other two made it down okay but got clobbered by my party. I liked the tactical situation the gorge provides.
Thanks! I love to hear that we were helpful with this playlist! Sounds like you and yours had a great time 🙂
I’m glad you guys are doing this… I listened to your DOIP playthrough as I was DMing for my family and got lots of great ideas… we’re in a transition homebrew to get them up to level 10 and then we’ll be doing EOR. So thanks!
Thanks for these great videos! My party is a session or two away from this final encounter. They are also level 7 and I’m seeing them starting to become overpowered. I’m planning to uses these tips for our encounter! I’ll share the results! Ps. I’ve loved listening to the gameplay videos throughout the campaign. They gave me lots of great ideas for each quest!
It's so good to hear that we've been helpful, and we can't wait to hear how it goes! Thanks for watching!
