Lesson of the story: ship combat is real fast when a 7th+ level druid is involved
I guess that unless you're playing a low-magic setting, any large enough ship should have a wizard with Control Water on board to counter others trying to sink the ship. I reckon some sort of guild could make a good coin providing wizards, druids, and clerics for sea travel.
@@btCharlie_ even if you’re playing in a normal magic setting, you’re going to have some difficulty making 7+ level casters commonplace on ships. Characters with spell casting are pretty rare, and become exponentially more rare the higher level of spell casting you require. And of those people, how many will want to live on ships all the time? Probably not many, unless the setting is heavily water based. Basically, your working with a pretty small sample size no matter what.
@@Aplesedjr I would disagree. What you're describing is closer to a low-magic setting than normal one. 7th level clerics should be a very common sight in any major city and while sure, not every captain could afford them, it would take one 7th lvl wizard going rogue and joining a pirate crew to absolutely mess up any trading route. Imho it just makes sense everyone would want to have this kind of wizard/cleric/druid on board for any longer trip.
@@btCharlie_ at 7th level, it’s 1 for every few thousand people if I remember correctly
This does not bode well for a game I am going to run soon. The word is mainly ocean and there is a coastal circle of the land Druid in the party.
Nice video, Jacob, Logan and Logan 👍
PS: Please leave Logan alone, Logan.
One is Runesmith Logan, the other is XP to level 3 Logan.
Dang it Logan

Sorry, I will try to keep calm and game on.

I have them on a smaller scale. I hate it. #genetics
Either grow a beard properly or not at all
Man, i love being a spellcaster. It's hilarious when you use a spell that you don't think would work or you normally don't get to use, and it just works.
Thats how todd howard plays dnd
Lattekahvi that's how King Crimson also plays DnD
The party in one of my games managed to basically one shot an entire city because they had a fairly large airship, and the city had no defences against it, so they gathered all the explosives they could and made a cluster bomb.
They then proceeded to match in an undead army they had slowly been building which found nothing because everything was already dead.
These are somehow the heroes in my campaign.
They'll make good villains in the next one too :P

Milian Kraft dear gods...
I don't disagree
I DON'T BELIVE YOU
By god, you’re right. D&D *is* a game
That single pink pixel.
Great video lol :)
Edit: Realized this might sound sarcastic, you guys are always a blast to watch, it honestly feels so much more genuine than a lot of other D&D channels that are more scripted... thanks :) it always brightens up my day when I see a notification from you guys :)
Jacob: "We can't take down a whole ship obviously."
Me: *Reads the video title*
*Are you sure about that?*
Logan's on camera work is actually really comedic, he's got great timing and those faces are gold
We had a character that burnt half a large island down in one session. Damn fey
*CONTEXT*
she had been imprisoned before this then someone closed a door on her in a house with a recently possessed body that she had also been possessed by for a round or 2. she uses produce flame to burn the body in an animalistic rage. party member closes te door not knowing what to do she rips the door off to add to the fire. environmental rolls caught house on fire then very large tree next to the house then half the forest on said island. miraculous 100 is rolled rain puts out fire but now the fort we were planning to use along with island for pirate campaign is essentially useless
Endoz Titan of Death Sounds to me that they should’ve retcon (or how you spell it) that so the story could continue

Guys, I would like some advice on playing sibling characters with a friend.
How would we go about playing off each other and avoid messing up our backstories?
Justin time and justin case
@@lorekeeper685 I recognise that, but from where I cannot say.
Split up who remembers what more. Maybe one of you remembers day to day stuff while the other remembers the bigger events more. You can both contribute, but then one of you can correct the other on some things.
Make it a thing that they purposely like to lie and confuse people about there past
Make a backstory that both of you are happy with, and be sure to compliment each other on improv.
me everytime i see Runesmith: Shave Shave Shave *DING* Shave Shave Shave *DING*
I'm not even opposed to his goatee but shave your cheeks. With love though. ♥️
the sides, not the goatee, the goatee is going to look awesome
It does unfortunately look like dirt on his cheeks
He looks 12 shaven
@@erez87xp there are beard shapes that wouldn't include his patches tho
Logan and Logan are my favorite characters
Gotta say though, keep the goatee, it's looking good, but shave the sides and try again man, it's a lot more satisfying to have them grow in fully than like that.
that one artifact on Jacob's camera is so fu**ing annoying
First I thought my monitor had an issue, thank fuck I was wrong.
you get upset really easily. Don't read the news.
Why did you mention it. Actually can't unsee
So worried about dead pixel
HBradley its not that, i just keep looking at it when it comes up and i keep looking at it, at its just so out of place its annoying. Annoyance =/= Anger
this is like that southpark episode where the simpsons did it first but with critical role lol
“Isn’t that what Taco Bell is, think out of the box.. encounter...”
The way this is filmed makes it feel like markaplier's interview with wilderd warfstash
have you ever seen Jacob and Logan in the same room together
I think the best boat story I heard was from a session I wasn't there for. Party was chasing an illithid who tried to skip the country by boat.
They manage to make their way, fight their way through and after making deli meat from the crew there was a surprising lack of calamari.
motherfucker was a good ways away hoofing it in a magical collapsible swan boat shaking his fist and cursing the party.
Ranger gets pissed, ties a baggie to an arrow and Kobe's it onto the back of the swan.
This baggie contains dust of dryness.
100 gallons of water immediately poof away from back of the boat as it falls backwards into this now void and the rest of the ocean does that whole "liquid tries to fill a volume" thing and crushes the squidboi in his dumpy little paddleboat.
Anyhow, that's how a Ranger got Favoured Enemy: Boat.
I remember one time during a saltmarsh(kinda) game, where my character a paladin/warlock had a homebrew artifact from my dm, that can cast control water, so imagine our party begins a combat encounter with another ship when I then cast control water made the water under the boat separate and then as the ship fell into the separated water, I let it cave into the ship sinking the ship.
Well I can see that working great on a rowboat, if the boat had any kind of internal space, wouldn't it just pop back up out of the water again? It would be very bad for the people on the deck, sweeping all but the weakest overboard, but the boat, itself, would pop back up like a wack-a-mole.
Thankfully for those running Ghosts of Saltmarsh, all of the ships detailed in it are of Gargantuan size... so the "flood" setting of Control Water cannot capsize them. It only effects water craft of huge size or smaller.
That tidal wave saltmarsh idea is good,definatly not coming from my water genasai druid...no
That dead pixel is super eye catching. It’s funny how concerned I was that I somehow busted a pixel in my screen somehow
I feel like more alchohol was used than the joke of sponsoring out of the box encounters. (Love video by the way! Cant wait for more of this!)
For a second I thought it said "We once shot an entire boat"
Legendary! From “Let’s get out of here NOW!,” to “Bye Bye Ship.” 😂🌊⛵️
I remember doing something similar, but will Wall of Fire.
The boat took 60d8 of damage (5d8 per each 5 feet affected).
The key is Casting Wall of Fire inside the Ship's hull.
Nice DM. However... That's a good "cook and book' tactic
I started rubbing my screen when I saw the dead pixel...
We one shot an adult green dragon with a fire cantrip we discover earlier that seesion in the dragons lair that its stip was flammable and it cause the collapse of the entire cave. We then later blew up his whole face with a fire cantrip in his mouth
@ 10:19 The face of a DM when the PCs derail the carefully laid out plans from weeks or even months in advance...
A similar thing happened in one of my games: basically the party was trying to escape this pirate ship in which they were held captive and through illusion and lucky stealth rolls they managed to steal one of the rowboats with no one noticing, they were roughly 100ft away when the wizard decides to cast a firebolt at the ship, nat 20, and thats how he managed to sink an entire ship by hitting the black powder storage with a goddamn cantrip
This description, especially with the blinking pirates, reminds me of the ninja pirate ship in Castle Crashers.
Yeah, it does a lot xD
What I did when I played a cleric in Ghosts of Saltmarsh was when we fought some sea creatures and we were all in the water fighting them, I just parted the water in a 100x100x100 ft. cube and they all just fell 90 ft. to their death in this slightly shallow water. Only the leader enemy was still alive but our rogue and monk took care of him quickly after he was already badly hurt from the fall.
Unfortunately I think our DM at the time didn't really bother with ship battles knowing I had that skill prepared when we were at sea, but it was really epic that one time where I did use it.
In a setting where magic is as pervasive as a typical dnd setting, it would make sense to have a wizard or two (or at least a couple of weak casters) to safeguard an investment as large and with as many souls as on a typical ship
"he won't let you..."
"Die!"
...
"Oh! 👀"
Yes Caduceus did do this in critical role, but I'm pretty sure neither times were meant to work.
Now let me preface I don't mind bending the rules for that cool factor, but according to the spell control water you can capsizes vessels that are a size large or smaller like a row boat or whatever. What you guys described sounded more like a man of war!
Just thought I'd flex my Wizard hat as this information will likely never be relevant to a conversation ever again.
Love you Jacob/Logan
GET OUT OF HERE WIZARD no one wants the fun of magic ruined with a "thats not actually how magic works"
Yeah, a galley (which is probably the type of ship) could survive even 45 ft tall breaking waves. A 20 ft wave is nothing.
You forgot Logan (sorry about this awful joke)
I'm aware that ships fare rather well when they take waves head on but from the side I feel they would tip far to much
It's a huge vessel actually. However... You don't need to use the given capsize rules in it. You simply use part water. The boat falls like, 50ft, then the water spills back over it on top
My light cleric had a blast on storm king's thunder with this.
The bastards broke the figurehead on his sailing ship. A single tear was shed for the lost beauty of his custom cut and gilded figurehead modeled in his likeness. That tear fueled the spell as it's component and washed away the pirate scum who dare cross the "Lumenator".
Druid: Oh it's a water session time to finally take water spells
Dm: wow didn't see that cooominnng
This is dope! In my current campaign, we actually had our Paladin cast channel divinity on a cannon and one shot a crew of air pirate.
These videos have such a low production quality.
I love it.
In 2nd Ed, we had one wizard who had a habit of casting Wall of Stone on the deck of a ship... off-center. I did the math with the help of the math major player... yep... big galleon, capsized. Wall of Fire on the bottom of the capsized galleon and the fire-burn hole would make it sink. He trolled many ships like that. When a Royal ship was spotted, the other players just started playing cards while that wizard did his ship sinkings. One time I made an excuse for him to not be able to do it. He cast disintegrate on the side of the ship just below water level. We quickly figured out that only Spelljammer ships have a chance against clever spellcasters. Oh, ship has cannons? Fireball into the cannon port... igniting all the ship's stored blasting powder.
i come here to watch fun dnd content, and ads that aren´t raid "garbage" shadow legend.
My pirate ship had a coast Druid disguised as the captains monkey. They had been following this crew for a while, and thought it was a familiar. Was a bit of a shock when the monkey turned into a person and started casting.
Fun fact about Control Water: it can also create a 50 ft. wide, 25 ft. deep whirlpool
this is a 4th level spell
I was a lvl6 Eldritch Knight/WMS (3/3).
My party had disembarked to explore an island, I stayed behind to mind the ship.
Suddenly, 2 pirate hunting vessels converge on me.
I fired our ship's grappling hooks into one of them, set our ship on fire, and put the 2 on a collision course.
I then Misty Stepped onto the 2nd enemy ship; one Thunderwave and a couple grapple checks later, and she was under new management.
I fixed her course to ram a tower, fired a cannonball at the upper floors, used Misty Step and a Nat20 dex check to ride the cannonball, and another successful dex check/Featherfall to dismount just before impact.
In a single combat, my character destroyed 3 ships and a tower; without getting a scratch or a drop of water on him.
I had a party do this, the one example I've seen of the Dragonborn breath weapon being worth higher than that of beans. Of course it was slightly assisted by the goliath fighter smashing a barrel of pitch with a lucky shot to the broadsides, but still.
The editing is immaculate
one time my group and I ambushed a ship at night that was at a island unloading, we had a flyer that took out the sails while we carried barrels of oil and tar into the ship. the bard made the captain guarding the ship unconscious with a good sleep roll and we ended up capturing him for a bounty.
I didn't think it'd be possible, but that singular red pixel caught my attention and now I have to watch the whole thing to make sure it's not my imagination.

I just reached level 3 and it reminded me of someone though who I can’t remember

Infurnace Gaming I’ll forever be stuck on episode 1. Honestly I’ll probably just start with the newest series even though some characters seemed annoying
@@a3dwafle149 I think I got to 10 episodes of the second series but I have a bad attention span so a slow passed 4 hour podcast can be hard for me
Based Evil the characters really suck to begin with, but they each have really good arcs if you stick around
@@thesepretzelssuckass247 Fuck that Molly was a god and I've been invested in Caleb since the start. Jester and Fjord are kinda eh.
I like using less obvious spells for interesting results. Telekinesis is one of my favorite wizard spells because moving heavy objects around like that can create unusual results when interacting with other objects or with traps or puzzles.
I have an idea for another scenario. You play as an Aquatic creature. You are running away from people in a city, and your party gets on a boat to escape. To stop anyone following, you stay behind, and cast control water when your pursuers catch up. As you can breath underwater, you are fine, but your pursuers are not.
Good video, loved the content and I would like to hear more DnD stories. CC time: The multi camera shoot is a great idea. Wish you could have interspersed more two shots of you and Logan, when you guys were conversing then go back to a 2-T when you are explaining something by yourselves.
We where being run down by a pirate ship and I just cast "Wall of force" in front of it. The ship ran into an indestructible iceberg going full speed.
Lmaooo thats insane
Myself and my friend, a druid and a wizard, just took out 30 underdark dwarf dudes on a boat with three spells before they even got close to us. Hypnotic Pattern, Tidal Wave, and then Fireball. It was pretty funny.
Gotta love ship shenanigans. I once wrecked a pursuing ship by "Salt Bae-ing" some diamond dust and casting Wall of Force 5ft in front of the bow. 😈
Control Water Flood: only capsizes huge or smaller vehicles.
Honestly the moral of every one of these stories I’ve watched is ‘anything is possible - when you get the words wrong.’
Entertaining though.
Idk why, but the goofy cinematography and dumb jokes and informality made me laugh
I don't think that's how raise water works for control water. Maybe they used part water to create a trench around the boat causing it to fall below the waves? Cause I would've done that.
I had a dream and I can't remember the specifics, but I think it involved Logan in a poorly made pirate disguise
We do this all the time in Space D&D.

Now our problem is: can I kill that without doing enough damage to make it break apart? No? Who can?

You laugh. I laugh. The Camera laughs.
Wait.
@@NikushimiZERO we kill the mimic. Good times.
And that's the reason why soooo many things in a D&D world would probably function very differently to what we're used to. Because now we know that no ship that expects to be in combat would EVER leave port without a (literal) boatload of defenses from the bunch of one-shot spells employed by any given medium level adventurer as a matter of course. I expect analogous things to be true of, oh I don't know, heavy industry, overland trade, high politics, city defense, home appliances and so on.
What about a campaign where all the sunken treasure is from one guy going around using that spell until an entire nation rose just to build a device to specifically disable that in the area.
The best thing about the spell is that it has a duration of 10 minutes so you are almost invincible in water.
That triton wizard attacking ships secretly at night on a magic devoid human nation is a major foe. Let’s do it!

This is great! Love your guys’ dynamic and I sincerely appreciate each of your separate channels :] - Love, dad
God I fucking love seeing these two on screen together xD they play off each other so damn good lol. Id watch a nerdy stand up by em xD
OMG, the stress of being the wizard has turned his hair bleach white
Lmao now I want to make a sea elf/triton wizard pirate who just does this, swims down and gets all the treasure, and says fuck you as his crew just sails off ⛵️
They were on a jet ski, the enemy were on a Ship of the Line. Thank God it wasn't a Dreadnought Battleship.

Different story same results Storm Sorcerer climbs to the crows nest says “I got this handled” whole party watches as he fires lightning bolt- DM starts rolling damage was enough to break through deck- Rolls again- lightning bolt went through armory-DM rolls again sighs- how do you want to blow up the ship- table cheers
once i was playing a sea of thieves themed 5e campaign and our dm who was dming for the first time set our essentially row boat against the biggest boat in the game and I destroyed it single handed by having the party sail my to a cliff near us so i could climb up it and i dropped a tree on one of the biggest enemies in the game.
0:46 was hoping World Anvil
was disappointed
That gottee makes Logan look like a pirate
Sounds like y'all *waved* goodbye to the boat as you left.
This kinda reminds me of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts 3…. Only you use boat to create waves. You can also use the boat to dive bomb other boats
It would have been even more epic if the druid used a tsunami to absolutely DESTROY the boat.
Shatter does really well on a boat's hull.
Used a Feather Token Anchor to mess up an attacking pirate ship in one campaign.
this reminds me of how my party destroyed 4 major warboats at the end of our last campaign. (just costing our dragonborne his arm on the last one)

“And that’s how we sunk a boat……”
My group did something similar... We gathered two boulders... They buffed up my character(aasimar giant soul sorcerer) with enlarge,flight,haste, invisibility and something to increase my strength... One of our party members infiltrated the large military boat to steal the gold they had and jump into a rope trick....Then I flew over the boat,dropped the boulders,canceled my enlarge,recast enlarge with twin cast then activated my aasimar form to make them think the gods decided to smite them... We became the most notorious pirates to the empire we just robbed out of no where... We were lvl 5
I really enjoy their energy together
