My dm didn’t know that one of the few ways to stop a path of the zealot barbarian was to put them to sleep, so I convinced him to give me a amulet that protects against normal and magical sleep. Hasn’t come up yet, but you always got to make them stronger.
The half Orc part is literally what the Paladin of my group is doing. Once we were fighting a dragon and he went down. Then he remembered he was a half Orc and just got back up to then proceed to decapitate the dragon. Best session I had so far.
I have regularly played with wizard characters that have a 10-12 CON score. The trick that has helped them survive so far, was buffing themselves before combat - with _False Life_ (upcasted if possible) and _Mage Armor._ _Blur_ and/or _Mirror Image_ also, but you can cast that once combat starts. _Longstrider_ is ok, but in most circumstances not necessary. Oh, and you just have to have _Shield_ and _Misty Step_ and _Counterspell_ prepared and save some spell slots for them. Although this wont stop everything from dragging your character to zero hit points, it has proved to be very reliable so far for me. Remember: _A prepared wizard is an alive wizard_ (in most circumstances). Good luck!
@@arcanecontent That sounds more sophisticated than hiding behind walls and random objects and re-rolling bad saves with the lucky feat. It also sounds like it uses more spell slots than hiding behind walls and random objects and re-rolling bad saves with the lucky feat. It's also kind of a bit too late now. I already chose in retrospect suboptimal spells and there is little possibility for me to learn spells in the campaign (she's just too broke) and I'm on level 7 already, and some higher level spells are really important for me to get. My AC is pretty damn good though, and having portent and lucky is quite nice. I'm just really scared that the day will come where it's like "that's 50 damage" and I'm like.... well, I guess that means I'm dead now, no death saves.
for anyone who cares, my fighter just killed the BBEG. i mean, he shot him with an arrow, then using PSI dice, (hes a pshycic fighter, from tashas) caused the arrow to do 4 more damage, and killed the BBEG. which had like 500 health. and then paraded around town with his head on a pike.
That's pretty gnarly, my dude. I love BBEG kills; I got to finish off one who'd actually killed my character's mother and got my character banished from his home, so... yay for redemption!
I was half expecting the barbarian to pull back his hand and have and "oh yeah" kind if look. He would then pull out an hourglass with "10 min" printed on the side and he would sit and stare at it until Death spoke up about it. The barb would then reply with a "just checking on something first".
Clever. Does that stack? That is, if they drop to 0 a third time, do they start with 2 auto-fails? Also, does this reset on long-rest, or do they permanently have an autofail for the rest of the campaign?
@@rogen8094 Yeah, I have it stack up to 2 auto-fails. And for me, they reset sort of like exhaustion, so remove one auto-fail per short or long rest and an additional one per Greater Restoration

Had a healer that had reactive channeling. Character was able to use it to bring themselves back-- eight times per day. "Hello Death my friend. It's been three minutes, and the dragon is still upset with me. I'm sure this will be the battle I get to stay with you."

I`m a GM and last Sunday our lovely, adorable cleric died... because of my critical hit. We`re playing Pathfinder, and death here depends on how much damage you took, and this critical was hard enough to bring her from full to SUCH amount of negative hp that she instantly died. It happened in one round, no one was here to heal her. I was shocked. Second level, never was my plan to kill anyboby, what the... Her player was shocked, and even teared up, but she still didn`t allow me to retcon anything. "If I`m dead, so be it" she said, and I promised her to return her character. The party was devastated, immediately grabbed cleric`s body and carried her to the temple. My players are still devastated and sad. I still feel bad, though my players said many times it was not my fault. I only hope we`ll make great story out of this.
@@shadowthedestroyer2241 oh wow, I never expected that someone asks. Turned out pretty good! They spent like all of their money to cover the price of ressurrection, they hepled during the ritual when almost every character asked her soul to return, they made her gifts and told how much they love her, and she did return. It was such an emotional scene.
The hilarious thing about the oregano bit was that I once rolled a nat one on a poisoning check and the worst thing I did was give paprika to a guy who is allergic.
Me: Dies and fails the saving throws Also me: Now that I'm dead, I want to take over the afterlife. What do I need to roll to beat Death in a wrestling match?
So hang on, I feel like this is a really good concept for making death saves interesting somewhat. Like having a character the players can shortly chat with during saves. 😳
This is why I houserule that dropping to 0 *also* incurs one level of exhaustion. XD No, you can't keep falling unconscious with no repercussions! Stop with the healing word whack-a-mole!
Yep this sums up the d&d session that happened yesterday (at time of commenting this) we thought this thing and we lost two party members (I survived tho ☺) (also ive played for over a year now and in yet to have some one die)
Thank you so much for refraining from swearing. A lot of the shows I watch (looking at you CR) are so littered with them they can be hard to watch. My brain is forever grateful.
I once played a campaign where my ranger died so often that after a while of meeting death in the void we just kind of started chatting and started a book club. End of campaign my character once a week goes to the parties life and death cleric to arrange that week's meeting with a Commune spell
petition for a campaign in which there is a character to be death but he's super chill and, even though he's supposed to be unbiased, is secretly rooting for the party. He acts uninterested whenever they come to his domain, but he is really looking forward to seeing them each time to learn about how they died and hear their stories. Eventually, his favorite one dies for real and he does all that he can to save them, even at the cost of his own existence.
To help with the effect that this video touches on.. I implemented a Wound System in my games, where every time a player is healed from 0 hp, they receive 1 wound. 1 wound = 1 guaranteed failed death save. That way the next time they go down and get healed, it’s 2 wounds. This makes sure that players treat going down more seriously & act accordingly.
Just played my first D&D campaign, it was a one-shot. My poor little Kobold Rouge was in a party where the task was to take a box through an area infested with Kobold “bandits”. In the box was The Heart of the Kobold, which explains all the “bandits”. When I learned what was in the box, I took it and ran. I was attacked, but we ran out of time, so I didn’t have time to do any death saves. The DM is really nice though, and they’re letting me use the character in more future campaigns.
This reminds me of this one time, we were fighting a large group of harpies, and our storm genasi just kept dying over and over. He'd save every turn, just to get mowed down again. this continued on for about three hours. but then, because injuries were that bad, his character had to get surgery. He died again because the only one with us that knew how to do field surgery was a drunkard with a buzzsaw named Boris.
And one of the campaigns I was part of we had a DM who every time we went down to zero HP the next time we went got up we gave one rank of exhaustion. Which was made the game a lot more interesting as we couldn't just run in and go Leroy Jenkins. I completely agree that failing three saving throws and dying makes it really hard to die permanently
I lost a couple of characters in a Pathfinder 1st edition dungeon delve called the crystal spire. We played many games with no death but in that one there were six deaths that I can recall. I'll never forget the first one when the slayer (Rouge/Ranger hybrid class) fell into a spiked pit trap, the traps lid started to close and we realized that a giant extraplaner spider was in the trap with the slayer. Both of my character's went down trying to save other players. When new characters joined the party they had to sign a contract that included instructions on how to handle their remains and property if they died.
My favourite moment is the bit you hear him say, Ahola. But this does remind me of my Moon Druid in the main campaign I do with my friends. Also getting put into death saving throws.
Saddest death I ever had was when our halfling bard was forced to relive his wife’s death over and over while being mind controlled was the best role-playing I’ve ever seen cause he was screaming and crying for it to stop as he saw her die over and over and we actually stopped play for a bit because the dm got worried the player was actually really upset he wasn’t hes just a good role player
Which D&D character of yours has died the most?
Fun fact: I only played D&D ONCE and I got my character killed only a few hours in 👌
I have not died as of yet
Because of spells that prevent death like deathward, I have only had one character death which was by suicide, by my life domain cleric

Turned out pretty good! They spent like all of their money to cover the price of ressurrection, they hepled during the ritual when almost every character asked her soul to return, they made her gifts and told how much they love her, and she did return. It was such an emotional scene.
My Bard- Oh why hello there Death. Looks like we’ll be spending all of eternity together... How about we get to know each other better? ;)
Heh, good to know the Death reads Percy Jackson :DDD Will have a lot to talk about once im ded :D
Percy Jackson is the best!
@@OneShotQuips Percy Jackson is good. But may I interest you in some... Harry Dresden?
3:12 Revenants be like: NO YOU!!!
True haha!
Sane person “How are we going to get out of this building??”
Wizard “FIREBAL-“
And they were never heard from again..
The hilarious thing about the oregano bit was that I once rolled a nat one on a poisoning check and the worst thing I did was give paprika to a guy who is allergic.
The Last Olympian, a true classic of a book
Personal favorite was when the monk rolled a 20 trying to slap him awake.
Me: Dies and fails the saving throws
Also me: Now that I'm dead, I want to take over the afterlife. What do I need to roll to beat Death in a wrestling match?
So hang on, I feel like this is a really good concept for making death saves interesting somewhat. Like having a character the players can shortly chat with during saves. 😳
Was half-expecting a "Raise Dead" spell at the end, which still works even after you fail all 3 death saves.
This is why I houserule that dropping to 0 *also* incurs one level of exhaustion. XD
No, you can't keep falling unconscious with no repercussions! Stop with the healing word whack-a-mole!
This is a good rule! I like that!
Healing wack a mole 😂
My DM also does this.
The editing in this is honestly really good.
Yep this sums up the d&d session that happened yesterday (at time of commenting this) we thought this thing and we lost two party members (I survived tho ☺) (also ive played for over a year now and in yet to have some one die)
2:47 I love the entire universe of Percy Jackson ❤️
I really love what you guys do and it makes me laff al the time so good job and keep doing what you are doing :)
3:06 I'm gonna bring my Grim Reaper costume to each session. Just in case.
House rule: Being knocked unconscious gives a point of exhaustion. 6 downs in one fight is instant death.
I just heard of this and love it!
we're not gonna talk about how literal death was reading percy jackson
This is hilarious. I hope you're doing well
Glad you enjoyed! And I am! Hope you are as well!
Thank you so much for refraining from swearing. A lot of the shows I watch (looking at you CR) are so littered with them they can be hard to watch. My brain is forever grateful.
This is hilarious and death sums up how being a dm feels
the wizard greeted death like an old friend...

HE IS READING PERCY JACKSON, I CAN'T ! My two fave things in a video it's too much to handle
funny thing: at the moment i died in DND this video came out
Oh I am so sorry haha!
I was so sure that the interruption after failing three death saves would be a Raise Dead
How is everyone today?
Still kicking
Doing well
@@x10man29 good?
tired, but thanks for asking

I love that you were just reading a Percy Jackson book waiting for him to return. You, sir, are a man of taste.
Idea. Players use their dead characters to run through a custom afterlife inspired campaign to earn a second chance at life.
Totally using that!
Death is so polite
2:49 death has good taste
Death would probably hate my monk in one of my campaigns. Something to the effect of "f&#@ing Tabaxi and their f&#@ing nine lives."
Bahahahaha 😂
Love the Percy Jackson cameo
The wizard greeted death like an old friend and departed from this world.
I once played a campaign where my ranger died so often that after a while of meeting death in the void we just kind of started chatting and started a book club. End of campaign my character once a week goes to the parties life and death cleric to arrange that week's meeting with a Commune spell
Throughout the whole video I just imagined Jester saying: “I cast spare the dying!”
This is why in the game I'm playing you get consequences for getting knocked out
petition for a campaign in which there is a character to be death but he's super chill and, even though he's supposed to be unbiased, is secretly rooting for the party. He acts uninterested whenever they come to his domain, but he is really looking forward to seeing them each time to learn about how they died and hear their stories. Eventually, his favorite one dies for real and he does all that he can to save them, even at the cost of his own existence.
"sword."
"two swords."
*comes back with 3 swords stabbed into him*
"w-help..."
i lost it at that that one.
To help with the effect that this video touches on.. I implemented a Wound System in my games, where every time a player is healed from 0 hp, they receive 1 wound. 1 wound = 1 guaranteed failed death save. That way the next time they go down and get healed, it’s 2 wounds. This makes sure that players treat going down more seriously & act accordingly.
I literally turned on UA-cam notifications just to get notified about your videos forevermore. You’re freaking hilarious dude
Just played my first D&D campaign, it was a one-shot. My poor little Kobold Rouge was in a party where the task was to take a box through an area infested with Kobold “bandits”. In the box was The Heart of the Kobold, which explains all the “bandits”. When I learned what was in the box, I took it and ran. I was attacked, but we ran out of time, so I didn’t have time to do any death saves. The DM is really nice though, and they’re letting me use the character in more future campaigns.
This reminds me of this one time, we were fighting a large group of harpies, and our storm genasi just kept dying over and over. He'd save every turn, just to get mowed down again. this continued on for about three hours. but then, because injuries were that bad, his character had to get surgery. He died again because the only one with us that knew how to do field surgery was a drunkard with a buzzsaw named Boris.
And one of the campaigns I was part of we had a DM who every time we went down to zero HP the next time we went got up we gave one rank of exhaustion. Which was made the game a lot more interesting as we couldn't just run in and go Leroy Jenkins. I completely agree that failing three saving throws and dying makes it really hard to die permanently
For this very reason, I give my players a point of exhaustion whenever they drop to zero hit points
I lost a couple of characters in a Pathfinder 1st edition dungeon delve called the crystal spire. We played many games with no death but in that one there were six deaths that I can recall.
I'll never forget the first one when the slayer (Rouge/Ranger hybrid class) fell into a spiked pit trap, the traps lid started to close and we realized that a giant extraplaner spider was in the trap with the slayer.
Both of my character's went down trying to save other players.
When new characters joined the party they had to sign a contract that included instructions on how to handle their remains and property if they died.
With the amount of times he's been revived, the Inevitables should come for his soul lmao
Who else noticed that death was wearing the wizards clothes
2:11-2:45 actually really good advice for players. Saves a lot of pain for DMs
My favourite moment is the bit you hear him say, Ahola.
But this does remind me of my Moon Druid in the main campaign I do with my friends. Also getting put into death saving throws.
When the dm has been watching to much Konosuba
i made a custom dnd race that basically does this with reviving as a baby after a day and growing up after a week
Saddest death I ever had was when our halfling bard was forced to relive his wife’s death over and over while being mind controlled was the best role-playing I’ve ever seen cause he was screaming and crying for it to stop as he saw her die over and over and we actually stopped play for a bit because the dm got worried the player was actually really upset he wasn’t hes just a good role player
I like that death is just reading The Last Olympian as he waits.
