Half orc bard is such a running joke but when you think about it, they're one of the races meant for bards, namely valour bards. A traveling magic warrior who collects tales of wisdom and heroics and keeps the traditions of their people alive in a culture that isn't inclined to writing books? Half orcs are made to be bards.
J. Jonah Jameson yeah, sort of like a Viking battle poet, since their history and culture is primarily unwritten but rather passed down through stories and songs that are shard from fellow warriors
I have a half orc Bardlock. I used standard array and his strength was 8. With his part of the clan not allowed to fight, as they were only allowed to raise the traditions of the horde and perform. He's strong now thanks to his gauntlets of ogre strength.
I have a bard with thunder wave. He renames the spells in order to cast them. (You know, like "Chill" for frost spells and "How YOU doin?" for Charm, etc) I was fighting a drake and 4 kobolds. I walk up and say "What did I give you mom last night? THE CLAP!!!" Clapped his hands and thunder waved all 5 creatures into the river behind them. It was awesome!
Ah, I did a full born Orc Barbarian who outlived the group twice over due to his odd luck. Though he did die thanks to a Beholder once, only to return later thanks to the gods, only to permanently die literally a year and a half later to a Ancient White Dragon in solo combat.... Because where is my group?
So you're telling me....your friends were not dead, but in fact very much alive probably several towns over and still moving because that is a DRAGON over there, and you thought it'd be a good idea to punch it in the face?
RACES ALL THE RACES THERE’S PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM TOO MANY SO COME WITNESS THE LIST OF THIS GUIDE TO ALL OF THE RACES ALL THE RACES JoCats song is amazing!!!
as a gnome bard and dragonborn bard player. They have the best Cha. Also thank you, the half orc bard is the best joke/ will kill things class around. being able to have a great sword as a bard is nice, and you can have drums or bagpipes as an instrument... *puts on kilt* yeah.. its time.
I tend to make weird characters, all female. Halfling Barbarian with a battleaxe named Kindness. Drow Barbarian covered in scars, barely speaks, eats every piece of food given to her and chosen by Eilistraee. Gnome Druid that dicks around with people as a cat. Halfling Druid that doesn't know she's a druid, travelling the world asking people to strip for academic purposes and randomly wild shaping based on strong emotions. An Aasimar Divine Soul Sorceress who loves healing through forehead kisses. A Halfling Wild Magic Sorceress with deep compassion who managed to be so kind to a Drow male he wanted to follow her. A half elf Shadow Sorceress who licks dead bodies to see if they're dead and came with a warning. When I introduced a human paladin into a game the DM was so confused. "So you're a human paladin? Nothing... odd?" Nope. "No....quirks?" Not really. "Define not really." She's a knight... "Oh...okay. No...licking things?" Nope.
I have been playing a paladin gnome for 3 years, when he first started he had very low int and wis so he would talk in broken English but had a very high cha score so everyone he met liked him. He would stand for Justice!, Glory!, And hoogies!! He also had to pray to his god before almost every turn.
I'm surprised more people don't talk about how underpowered the dragonborn race is. All you get is a resistance type and your breath weapon. The breath weapon is so weak it's a waste of an action to use, and if your resistance type is acid or lightning, that's really not common enough for it to be valuable as your only other feature. Tieflings, stout halflings, and Dwarves get fire and poison resistance respectively, which are the two most common elemental damage types, and look at all the other features they get on top of it.
My favorite setups for messing with people are a prankster kobold sorcerer charlatan, a halfling monk wrestler, and a bard/monk named Jackson Michaels.
Michael DeLorenzo I couldn’t really imagine a big beefy elf barbarian running around beating people with a Greatclub and while some versions of fighter could work (mainly swords and bows) I couldn’t imagine one being that good with a Greatsword. Monks I guess could work because of how long they live for so long but paladins don’t really work because I also don’t imagine a elf wearing full plate clanking up behind someone and beating them with a Warhammer. If you want a Mary Sue in this game, play human, they can be basically whatever you want to be. Literally any class in The PHB can work with them and the option for an additional feat makes them much more versatile Edit: forgot about wood elves making great monks so I guess not
@@temporaryhalfdecentname8452 if you use a greatsword as a polearm, which is how you are supposed to, anyone that has a greatsword scaled to their height, dwarf, orc or elf, would be quite a tough fight.
To be fair all elves and subspecies have EXTREME USE. I mean c’mon sea half-elves get a +2 to BOTH STR and CON. Plus if I of all people think playing a Kobold urchin arcane trickster is a good idea then playing ANY elf race is better. Edit: the plus 2 was to STR and CON
@@temporaryhalfdecentname8452 Wood Elves make the BEST Monks. PERIOD! And with elven senses, they benefit from a high wisdom AND proficiency in percrption. It's hard to hide from an elven monk/cleric/druid.
For Dark Elves...The way sunlight sensitivity is written - ie DIRECT sunlight - means it's easy for DMs to rule "as long as you aren't in direct sunlight or your target is you are fine" so in most locations (forests, dungeons, cities, etc) have enough shade or the like to prevent that problem. Also let's not forget they early on can cast Darkness, which though it can be a hindrance if you place the darkness ABOVE you to block out the sun you are likely going to be fine.
You are awesome. THANK YOU so much for this video. As a complete beginner, there is just sooo much information out there and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you for this wonderful orientation!
It's a lot more realistic when you think about it, humans have bad night vision compared to most mammals. (But the actual reason is that each race got the ability for a different reason: Gnomes and Dwarves live underground, Elves have superior senses, Tieflings and Half-Orcs are related to scary edgy things that live in the dark.
I used to play in this one group in high school. I played half orc Druid. I had the highest wisdom stat in the party because that’s where I put my best roll, and because the half-elf ranger rolled a shitty charisma, I also had the highest charisma of the party (it was only 14, everyone else just got shit numbers). I was incredibly useless in combat because of the way I roleplayed my character but it was still a lot of fun and I’ll always champion this combo.
Whenever I want to play a drow I give a half elf proficiency in perception and describe them having charcoal skin. Wizards’ hatred of drow won’t stop me god damnit!
"Dovakin Dovkin, I do not know the words. But I'll still sing Dovakin, for the joy that it brings". Love pop culture references and thr like. As for the chrs, mayhap Dwarf, Tiefling and Half Orc in me interests, butI would probably be better served as a human chr because if you were to make a Half Orc chr that is similar in appearance to the Hulk, the chance of the dice roll can potentially land you in an embarrassing spot, for the expectation of the chr. For me personally, maybe a spell caster or a cleric, or something?
Funny, I've got a Dragonborn Ranger (Revised version, don't lose your shit Davvy) because for the first campaign my friends threw min-maxing out the window and decided, "to hell with game mechanics, let's make our characters how we want to and play the game"
The best thing about gnomes is their Gnome Cunning Feature. They have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma saving throws. Which is very useful against spellcasters or things that try to control you.
Drow is great to pick if you want to play as warlock, especially if your patron is undying or hexblade. You are getting not only cool looking character but super powerful
My most recent character is a half orc half elf Cleric, but I usually end up fighting with melee weapons anyway. Her father is Salitar the Coward, and her mother is Gorra the Lonely.
Davvy, you actually look a bit like a half elf in real life. BTW, that's a compliment. Lol. I love playing a half elf. Currently a half elf sorcerer in a new campaign I just joined. Dragon Heist in Waterdeep.
High elf rogue is fun. Use that free cantrip to aid in your sneaky sneak and you can pick a subclass that’s not strictly arcane trickster to do it (mine’s a scout)
If I ever get the chance for a campaign with a significant lack of sunlight, I’m playing my vampire like character idea of a bloodhunter drow named alucard.
Ay I'm an avid drow lover and the whole sunlight sensitivity thing can be quite easily fixed if you work with it for a bit. I've played many drows in a variety of different types of campaigns and, yes, they are more helpful general in deep dungeon quests but literally, drows are so fucking awesome to play and give some great storylines... Personally love playing magic classes with them, especially warlocks but damn bards are fun.
"I KAIJU RIDER THE BRONZE DRAGONBORN, SUMMON THE HEXBLADE FROM IT'S DARK ABYSS AND ENVOKE THE ELDRITCH POWERS LONG FORGOTEN, TO SLAY MY ENEMY WITH A F***IN' MAGIC SWORD!!!!!!
I give my drow character players the option (at creation or during downtime) to trade down superior darkvision to regular darkvision in exchange for getting rid of sunlight sensitivity. You spend enough time in the sun, you'll adjust to it; but once you do, you need to spend a long time underground again to go back.
I can play most races (except for dragonborn and tiefling). I tend to play humans more often. I do like playing a dark elf paladin. Speaking of dark elf, I have a couple work arounds for light sensitivity. One borrowing from 3.5e feat daylight adaptation. The other is a custom background "surface dweller." Enjoy watching your videos.
I took advantage of rock gnomes and made an artificer, so if you want to really go with the little tinkering dude only with a gun or potion this time, try that
Fun fact the tallest gnome and the shortest dwarf are the same height. Gnome tops out at 4' and dwarfs minimize out at 4'. This also means that halflings are smaller than gnomes and that honestly does 1d4 psychic damage to me
Either playing as a race with a lower than normal movement speed just take the movement feet which gives you 10 extra feet of movement and takes away rough Terrain disadvantages
I played a devily hexbladelock gril that had to fight off a rapey necromancer in a world that typically hated her. Didn't help that she basically looked like Demona from gargoyles though, but eh 20 charisma for intimidation.
Because it's the cutest combination and I won't have anyone else to say otherwise!! (plus there are different Tiefling sub races now in UA that work great, my Eldritch Knight hexblade, which dumped wisdom and only has a 12 in INT with a 19 in charisma so all my Knight spells are ones without dice rolls. I used the Zariel Tiefling for a strength boost)
I mean the short story is if you are new to D&D and wondering which race to play and you already have a class in mind, look at the races that give you modifiers that compliment your class. You are a warlock and specialize in Charisma? Cool, find a race that pump ups your Charisma. You are a strength-focused golden boy? Find something that inherently gives you more strength.
Now I want to see a Shadow the Hedgehog build. I'd imagine it'd be a caster class to get the chaos blast/chaos control, but for race... Maybe drow? Is there an underdark variant of the halfling?
I'm using that EXACT image of Half Orc Bard to tell my tale of when a rich human nobleman lusted after his Orcish chambermaid and raised the bastard as his own. He plays the castanets and thinks he's adept at Finesse weapons but beats people at fencing through brute force as opposed to any semblance of dexterity.
You know what? One of the characters I had the most fun playing was my High Elf Barbarian. She was meant for a just for fun one off adventure between campaigns but we got attached to these characters too much so they ended up campaigning against a Demon Lord.
Dragon born storm cleric who worships Talos (a storm God found on the forggoten realms diety table on pg 294 in the phb.) Made this as my first cleric and everyone laughed at the easy skyrim reference. I played him more like Thor though
In my first ever DnD campaign and I choose to play a half orc monk, currently suffering the consequences and will be multiclassing rogue so i can become a ninja
Hey folks! If anyone’s looking for actual footage of a D&D group’s natural gameplay & real life, bare-bones style role playing of 6 fellow adventurers in their early 20s - filmed in brief memorable moments (saved as Snapchat clips) ... Here’s a D&D compilation video I literally JUST uploaded with 11 months worth of footage from 2017 & 2018. Lmk if you’ve got any questions or concerns w/ a comment on the video if you’ve got any after viewing. Here it is... the FALLEN GRACES ERA ! ua-cam.com/video/r3TtPZUO0Hs/v-deo.html
I play a High Elf ranger who's basically just the stereotypical elf. He hates humans with a passion, because of their commitment to war and fighting with themselves. We have a human paladin who's main goal is "to purge the heretics". You can imagine how well we get along.
Half orc bard is such a running joke but when you think about it, they're one of the races meant for bards, namely valour bards.

He's strong now thanks to his gauntlets of ogre strength.
Anyone who doesn't think of Dilios from 300 as a Bard is just flat out wrong, and this character could certainly be an Orc.
I actually played a Half Orc Bard. It was a lot of fun thunderwaving enemies with epic metal riffs.
DiggingUpGraves 🤘🏻
I have a bard with thunder wave. He renames the spells in order to cast them. (You know, like "Chill" for frost spells and "How YOU doin?" for Charm, etc)

Half-Orc Valor Bard with Inspiring Leader... Dimmu Borgir!
