Inquisitive Rogue: you didn't realize playing a character way smarter than you could be a problem until the first murder mystery appeared.
This is why I don't play characters with more then 9 int 😁
Girl, this stings so hard for me🤣. My inquisitive rogue was brutally handicapped by a band of freaking bards, because apparently they should not be trusted... and I trusted them
Comes equipped with smoking pipe, investigator hat, magnifying glass and faithful Watson as follower 😉
As someone who used to Roleplay as a smart character, while not being smart, I figured out the flaws the hard way.
Nothing an investigation check can't fix
Me as a sorcerer:
"I miss wizard spells"
Me as a wizard:
"I miss metamagic"
Time to become a Wizorcerer or as the nerds in Neverwinter call them.. a Sorcard.
With Tasha’s Cauldron, you can be both with the feat Metamagic Adept. Two metamagic options and two sorcery points.
Get the Metamagic Adept feat! It's super cool, the best of both worlds, and doesn't require you to get a level in a different class. I would totally get it in my current campaign (I love subtle spell so much for rp purposes-) but I'm playing a changeling and getting the Actor feat gives me advantage on deception and performance while trying to pass myself off as someone else. Likewise, when I can get my next ASI, I'm going to get a specific changeling feat that changes my Change Appearance ability from basically infinite Disguise Self to a basically infinite Alter Self.
Um, just multi-class?
@@seigwardofcatarina5776
Honestly, I wish you could take the feat more than once to get more sorcery points, as being limited to 2 can be annoying sometimes, but it is still an amazing feat for Wizards.
Artificer: I cast the most powerful spell!
Dm: and what is that?
Artificer: I CAST GUN!
Don't you mean thermonuclear warhead

bard in a nutshell:
"Seduce."
"Dude, its a fucking slim-"
*"S E D U C E."*
I'm pretty sure I saw this comic...
Now, imagine rolling Nat 20 on this
The dm would destroy his face by facepalming.
And th DM retuns with SEDUCE ME
It's a slim jim?
I do that, indeed
From my experience as a monk:
"Does this count as-"
"NO, THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS A MISSILE."
If my DM is reading this, I'm sorry.
As a dm, I gave my monk player gloves that let him deflect projectile spells, and that became hilarious when he deflected a bunch of magic missiles and they hit other party members because they don’t miss
Oh yes. I feel that😂 just let me catch some arrows man!
This is just me
I mean kinda the dm’s fault if the sword is described as flying at you
@@unknownentityenthusiast6765 funniest shit ive ever seen
As a dude who plays cleric *a LOT*, I tend to hear, "Why aren't you healing more?" enough to make a drinking game out of it. Yes, I do heal and people very rarely die around me, but I've got spell slots for things besides fixing your booboos.
truth
Great thing about playing a cleric, you're the most protected member of the party, and your dice betraying you doesn't have a huge impact.
I'm playing necromancer cleric. Doesn't care about party's hp unless they are really dying.
I read that as "fixing your boobs" and that's way funnier.
@CommandoDude
More like you're a strong independent war cleric who don't need no party outright. Seriously, battle clerics are insane.
I didn't expect to be called out this hard by cleric and wizard. For cleric: "You started out playing support classes because nobody else would, but then you realized you actually kind of like them." Alternatively, "You started out playing support classes because nobody else would. Now you've been the DM for three straight campaigns."
Monk:
I've been in too many situations where our weapons were confiscated when entering a city or we were ambushed while sleeping and I didn't have any armor on.
Warlock:
I like casting spells but it takes me a week to choose them so I prefer to do so only once per level rather than evey long rest.
They're my two go-to classes.
Monk kensei because there is always Staff, club and flail near your bed but you want to be gentelmen do you train with sword or rapier.
Warlock because there is tasha hideous laught and then there is you no more in this place.
Honestly same. I like warlock for the theme tho and also the fact that I have an excuse to take all battlefield control and utility spells because the damage is in the blast (my 6th 7th 8th and 9th ones always have at least half be pure damage tho for when I need it)
And I like monks because as somebody said I find it amusing to not only out-armor anybody who doesn’t focus on armor while wearing normal clothes and running faster than everything I meet, but I think it’s amusing to punch everything until it dies. Sure I have a bit low of a damage output but god dammit I look awesome while doing it
so you're just lazy, got it
Blaine: Mentions everything you can know about stereotypes in the whole game.

Me: I'm bored, time to read political science.
ArtofthePossible it scares me how relatable that is
That spoke to me.
Then you realize how ridiculous the class is and 10 hours in and still nobody in your party knows what you do.
I'm currently playing a paladin, and it is my favorite class. Not because divine smite is so good, its because people assume its the only thing you can do. Which is when you surprise them with a cheeky spell that they weren't expecting and then smite them extra hard. Expect the unexpected, but no one expects the paladin to cast misty step.
Laughs in command and compel duel spells.
@@ArkaSaurusRex218 I've always wanted to use those spells. Unfortunately my paladin died after another 4 sessions.
Our fighter: gets downed and surrounded by skeletons
My paladin: moves away from the skeletons boss to help him
Skeleton boss that apparently has the Sentinel feat: “Not so fast!” opportunity attack (tm)
My paladin: “…Fuck you.” Jump cut teleports over to the fighter anyway.
My party's Bard instead of trying to seduce everything, tries to mock everything. Its a good change of "tradition" and really funny to see childish insults do damage to things.
1d4 psychic damage in the form of a “your mom” joke never fails
@@samueljo7910 "Legends say your mom is the reason why beard is a feminine word in Spanish, and your father is why cosmetics are masculine! I'd love to ask you about the second one but I've just realised that you have no idea either. My parents are dead, what's your excuse? Probably it's better this way though, so he'll never know how big of a dissappointment you are. I can't decide if you made a deal with a devil to become a warlock to fix your daddy issues, to answer your childhood bullies or you simply didn't realise what paper you signed when receiving your DoorDash order. Where you born in an alchemist's lab? Because that's where accidents happen! Really, your equipment is shit, your spells are shit, your horse is shit, your face is... oh sorry, I'vewent too far. Tell your horse I apologise."
Now that's at least 9d4 of damage I guess.

Sorcerer : You made more lore about your magic origin than about your character.

Looks at my sorcerer who has 90 character lore and 10 magic lore.
I wish I was less like this. Whimpers in dragon born
druid: you are secretly the most powerful member of the party.
Last time I played a druid, i had my own private army of animal companions, actual companions, summoned help and constructs.
Moon Druid: because nothing is more satisfying than killing your enemies as a giant toad or mammoth.
Being able to summon 15 T-Rexes helps with that
Summon animals + polymorph
Wizard: You often feel like you're the only one in the party with any sort of common sense.
Druid: A brief glance at the Monster Manual led you to realize you can turn into a dinosaur. Now you just need to the DM to allow you to do so.
i played a wizard in dnd and had to placate an angry vanshee, because someone else in the party offended her. and we needed some information she had.
@Lucas Tompkins You can, so long as your DM allows it. It works better with Moon Druid, of course. You can also use Polymorph on yourself as an 'overdrive' Wild Shape
In the campaigns we play at our table, wizards often have a habit for insanity and it’s directly correlated to how powerful one becomes.
Wizards only have common sense until they learn fireball
Source: every wizard I've ever played with has nearly TPKd us with one at some point
Wait your wizards have common sense? They don't just run in and punch people with thunderfist (aka shocking grasp) whilst having decent ac (20ish) and a bunch of spells that just make being hit near impossible? Is wizard not a frontline fighter class?

Necromancer: You’re edgy.
That’s it.

Bruh, Life Domain Cleric with Sanctuary and Spirit Guardian is the best think that exists. I do prefer a Paladin for tank, although they are not that good for healing at all.

Fighter: You're selfless. You wanted to play something else, but your party needed a tank/damage/healer/seducer/leader/etc. You build your fighter around their needs.
Ouch. You just attacked me hard.
(This comment describes every thing about me, the shoes I were, my favorite flavor of tea, my favorite/not so favorite dnd class. E V E R Y T H I N G !
Cleric can be pretty much the same tbh. XD No one wanted to play a support class, so now you have to build a character to fix the holes in the party.
how do you heal with a fighter without multiclassing?
@@koral.arthouse I'm glad you asked! There are feats you can take, subclasses you can customize, and even homebrew options for a battle master that would allow you to be an "off healer". Some feats would let you do healing magic, but others would let you take a "field medic" approach, or even give you fast hands to distribute potions or help dying characters.
I kind of like being the "Regular dude" on the battlefield.
In a world where there are wizards, demons, deities intervening, and having to fight Literal gods (if you hit 20) the regular person who's pretty much a town guard who trained for years is still kicking ass alongside the the Cleric who was handpicked by their God and the Wizard summoning fireballs and lightning bolts.
Plus with the different subclasses, you can fit almost any niche to your fantasy.
Battlemaster is the tactical mastermind. Cavalier is the Gallant Hero, Echo Knight is all about outwitting your foes, Eldritch Knight studies magic but isn't as fragile as casters.
And people who dismiss them as boring, have probably never played one past level 3, because it's anything but....
Ok, Champion is a little boring, but you also triple you chance to crit! Four attacks with 15% chance to crit, on top of Action Surge! With Polearm Master, that's 10 attacks before you say "and I end my turn"
Monk Subclass stereotypes:
Given that you're playing a monk, it's fairly safe to assume you're into anime. And what subclass you play as, hints at what anime you watch (with some exceptions), and how you behave.
Astral Self: you don't do much to hide the fact that you're a Jojo fan, but also tend to forget to use the astral arms for more than just punching--what Jojo is usually famous for.
Shadow: You're a Naruto fan, of varying expression. You can try to hide/deny it, citing ninjas as being inherently cool, or you can own up, and shout "BELIEVE IT," at every opportunity.
Sun Soul: WE GET IT. YOUR CHARACTER'S NAMED AFTER A FOOD, AND YOU'RE BASICALLY GOKU. Just STOP rambling about power levels, and try to put those purported math skills to use, by managing your Ki properly.
Four Elements: You're a diehard Avatar: The Last Airbender fan. Any mention of anything sounding like Korra will piss you off.
Kensei: You're devoted to Samurai Jack, but not to an obnoxious level. Either that, or you will never shut up about your STOODEE OF DA BLEEYYYD!!
Drunken Master: You're more a fan of Jackie Chan, and other martial arts movies of the time. Or you just like to drink IRL. You play alright with everyone, but PLEASE mind what you're saying & doing--even if your character's supposed to be drunk.
Long Death: Edge. Pretty much just Edge. Can vary it up a bit with some Mortal Kombat, or Undertale stuff, but mostly just Edge, and lacking self-preservation instinct.
Open Hand: You don't tend to reference that much anime in roleplay. Often you just try to play a character who's sweet & supportive--fitting the supportive nature of the subclass. This is until you reach level 17, and then you're the Fist of The North Star, but by then, you've probably earned the right to make these references.
Ascendant Dragon: You don't exist quite yet. You have fond memories of the draconic sorcerer, and are still trying to figure out how to reliably spell & pronounce Grougaloragran, so you can better fit into your Wakfu fantasies.
Way of the kensei: THERE WILL BE BLOOD
SHED
THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD
@@Keegstar For me, I'm planning on playing the Kensei as either a Sohei, or Friar Tuck.

Despite what you say about the Wizard, my sister ALWAYS takes a tleast 5 minutes changing her prepared spells whenever they long rest. She's the first actual spellcaster in our party that has a decent grasp on how spellcasting works so it's interesting for me a DM for like a year see how an actual spellcaster works lol
This^
Wizard is my go-to Spellcasting class because of the sheer amount of spells available. To save time, and not distract the party, I usually let my DM know directly what I've changed for my prepped spells. It also saves time because there is a good handful of spells that I always have prepared and almost never swap out, like Mage Armor and Shield for example.
I try to keep a balance between damage and tech, and my daily prepping of spells can sometimes lead to some great RP and character building as I will consult the party members my character trusts the most to see if they think we'll need something specific for the encounters we may face.
The thing about Wizard, and why I always preferred Sorcerer, is that the wizard needs to actually study and figure out what spells they might need ahead of time.
But almost everyone I've ever played D&D with wants to charge in blindly and just smash their heads against problems as they show up. They don't scout the area to see what threats may be there. They don't get a map, look into history, or any number of things that could help a wizard decide what spells to bring.
So having a large number of spells for different situations doesn't really matter if you're choosing blindly, you're just going to grab the generalist spells that are ok in most situations.
Why have so many spells if you're just going to do some illusions, summoning... And fireball, actually JUST fireball
@@ToAqui210 surprisingly my sister doesnt have that, not even magic missile. She does a fuck ton with her zombies and mordenkainen faithful hound already.

Also me: realized the DM mentioned kid at some point
And that is the story of how I shot some kid and had my edgy rogue get sent to prison after just clearing myself of a seperate murder of a child that was a part of my backstory. That character is still in prison and I've decided she believes she is cursed to kill kids unintentionally and is now actively trying to send herself to Hell
@@PerishingPurplePulsar What in the fuck? That's fucking hilaroius.
@@houdinied8619 I was going for the classic tragic rogue; I was a younling raised by the streets who was in the wrong place and wrong time and accidentally got an innocent kid killed, all that good stuff. I was doing so good and she was making so much progress, and when I say just cleared I mean JUST cleared, Azcill was a free woman for all of 10 minutes. Now I play Mook, the Warlock Tabaxi that fell into a dungeon as a kid and was stuck there for 20 years, unknowingly made a pact with an eldritch god but isn't aware that licking his butt in public is impolite. I love playing somewhat cliché characters, and am pretty sure my next one will be an Aarakocra who is very honorable, and carries himself with grace, unless he thinks he is alone at which point he becomes a pigeon
@@PerishingPurplePulsar Big fucking oof my guy.
This is also true for sorcerer lol
Cleric: Has to carry a party of people with the mental age of a 5 y/o
That's funny, i just started a new campaign recently, we're a party of three with a warlock, a paladin and a cleric
For some reason, when we ran into a sleeping giant tiger, the cleric's first reaction was to blast him while we weren't near enough to attack it before it wakes up. That thing could have murdered us and that dumbass decided that it was safer to attack while he was alone for the first turn instead of waiting for us to walk the last 30 feet to join him "because his heavy armor could have woken it up"
Siragon that player definitely thinking that Cleric is designated damage dealer, they're support and support did more than just healing. Mostly fuck everyone brain without dealing damage.
@@justnoob8141 No no, i can assure you he takes his healer role very seriously

You really like multiclassing into Rogue for the combat abilities, without all the stealing bits.

@@willemverheij3412 but then you remember the ranger subclasses and how amazing some of them are
@@oldfrozenwolf6803 But those don't give sneak attack or cunning actions.
Next, you need to do the stereotypes for the subclasses. Maybe in separate videos.
I'll do the ones for artificer:
battle Smith: you don't actually want to go into combat, but you feel bad when your party members/Summons die.
Alchemist: you're either really good at chemistry, or just like to see things blow up.

Barbarian: You’ve some how betrayed the party more times then the rouge
YEEEEESSSSS THISISSOTRUE
Well, "Betray" is a strong word.
More like "unexpected high level encounters"
Less of a class stereotype, more of a player stereotype (which I fall into). Bard and rogue players tend to have the most interaction with the world at large, and tend to be the biggest chatterboxes at the table. Bards (and the people playing them) tend to try to talk their way out of everything, frequently treating any situation as a puzzle to be solved, most often through seduction (side note: if your DM is a more combat centered one and he asks you to make a skill check OTHER than seduction before rolling to seduce, and if he smiles when you fail said check, be prepared to roll a new character. Case in point: my bard that tried to seduce a dragon. Failed the spot check prior to the seduction roll, got ripped in half by dragon dick). Rogues treat every encounter as a combat/theft puzzle, and therefore tend to spend more time interacting with the environment or people's pockets than actually fighting. That or the sneaky sneaky stabby stabby variety in the case of a murder hobo rogue. In either case, both the Rogue and the Bard will inevitably spend half the night having their own little side game of D&D just trying to gather details from the DM to solve their own personal little puzzles they've made. Can be fun with a good DM, just don't bring them along if you're playing a combat focused premade module.
I feel called out (rogue)...
@@limekitty810 me too (bard). This is actually a way better summary of both me and my character Tieru than the video.
I do not know about other warlocks, but in any group I've ever been, when I am playing warlock, I am always the one with most interactions per minute with the world at large and about 75% of the time I become the party's face and unspoken leader because of that.

Ah the barbarian, still brings back the memories of my first ever DND session. In place of going with a reasonable race like a dwarf or human I made a rock gnome barbarian, just this tiny ball of muscle coming to break some kneecaps. Still remember the funniest event with them was when I attempted to throw a party member up to a ledge and rolled a 1, instead of just pulling their back or somthing no my DM had them throw so hard my buddies head was embedded in the ceiling Looney toons style. I'll never forget you Durko Garrick the Goatillery.
For any of you wondering where the nickname "Goatillery" came from I'll give the rundown story. A local town had come under threat of an Adult red dragon and our party was tasked with taking care of it, our party's warlock had the idea of setting up an explosive trap at a local farm that's been the target of the dragon recently.
When it came time to spring the trap the dragon noticed it and normal combat ensued and it started to go downhill hill immediately, our warlock nearly got burnt to a crisp during the first round and our paladin became its focus for the next few, our ranger who was the major issue to the dragon had run out of ammo so he was gimped drastically.
We were on the path to a TPK and in an act of desperation Durko had the idea to strap a keg of gunpowder to a nearby goat and try throwing it at the dragon, he had a belt of storm giants strength and with the roll came a nat 20. The goat was effectively turned into a short ranged missile which hit the dragon square in the face which ended up killing it. It also came in handy while raiding a orc garrison as the goats really did a number on the walls allowing our band of mercenaries we built up to storm the keep, it became the stuff of stories in taverns of a tiny man throwing animals so hard they exploded.
We did reach level 20 and our DM was given permission to throw a Tarasque at us as a penultimate fight, I had found a ring of 3 wishes after a recent bout against a lich though I had to use two charges as one of our members was killed by Disintegrate and the other was sent to another plane, before the battle I gave our ranger it as a safety precaution as I'd be trying to keep it away from our party, things went horribly as our paladin was dying from a crit he took and the Tarasque had its eyes on our warlock next but was also close to death itself from a full power SMITE.
As a final act of desperation to try and save those he considered family he dove into the Tarasque's gullet with a orb of condensed magic energy that our warlock and been working on with a group of wizards, with the amount it had stored It could easily have been compared to a small hydrogen bomb and broke it, Durko was obliterated and the Tarasque was in a dead state and needed the wish to be used on it to finally finish it (Our DM wanted to imitate the 3.0 edition rule of a wish killing it) and though he wanted Durko back our ranger did what they needed to do and destroyed the Tarasque for good.
I haven't been able to play with them recently but my buddy who was the DM let me know that the legend of Durko was spreading within new campaigns of his, the man of explosions lived on even after his great sacrifice and the stories told by wandering bards told of a man who with a simple touch would use an animal to bring an entire city to it's knees.
Sounds dnd
My first three races were half elf, loxodon, and kobold.
@@UnbackedCon That was absolutely beautiful. Brings a nice light on my favorite class the Barbarian.
That is absolutely glorious.
Fighter: You dip into it for 2 levels to get Action Surge, or 3 levels for Action Surge and Battle maneuvers
Wizard: You have so many spells, but you can only prepare so many. This makes you sad. Versatile, but sad.
Cleric: You do your best to remind others that you only have so many spell slots, and often forget that you can simply boost everyone's max HP with Aid, and then give them temp hit points on top of that because you're pretty game-programmed to think in terms of the healer only focusing on healing and not on prep and mitigating.

"hey paladin, can I get some healing?" -- 1hp lay on hands, coming right after I smite this thing into oblivion
Exactly. I play a paladin under the oath of the open sea, and it is amazing. Expect the unexpected, and no one expects a paladin to use misty step. Was in a pvp fight with the ranger, who was cheating with a haste spell from our wizard. Couple smites, a misty step escape here, a rapid dash from expeditious retreat there, a lay on hands self heal, a channel divinity fog trick to hide from his arrows, and several lucky javelins defeated the cheating bastard with health to spare.
As a Barb Main, I have realized a pattern on all of my Barbs:
"You can't write or read Common, you can speak it but nothing else. You know one or more exotic languages and are completely fluent in it on both writing, reading and speaking and wait for the day it becomes relevant."
About languages. I currently have a Dragonborn druid. He speaks three languages. At level two, he'll speak three languages + animalese (circle of the shepherd) he's also a guild artisan, I have him described as a travelling Butler, any other languages I should try to have him speak?
so far he speaks: common, draconic, and druitic, I'm also going to try and make him speak infernal

Cleric: you're here because no one else wanted to be the designated healer and still avoid the life domain because you don't want to be the port-a-potion.
Either that, or you wanted to be the healer out of your own volition, and started off as the uwu healer until you realized you were at least a power bottom.
Play a Grave Cleric: “I will only heal you if you’re dead”
My first character was a trickster cleric, and there was another cleric in the party who was life domain.
They vastly preferred inflict wounds over any other option so I was the one basically healing everyone while the Life Cleric goes and fights, leading to the two clerics not liking eachother very much.
... The one time I was about to play a cleric would have been a hobgoblin law cleric of Bargrivyek, entering the party to encourage war among the lesser races and unite any goblinoid tribes he came across in preparation for the next Great Host. (Not that the party would know.)
Step 1: build a cleric of the forge domain.
Step 2: Congratulations, you stopped playing dnd halfway through and ended up playing minecraft for the rest of the campaign.
Weirdly enough, whenever I'm in a campaign that has a cleric, I always wind up as the designated healer. I don't know why, but that's always the case...

Warlock is definitely my favorite, and you were on point as always. I had such a nice backstory prepared, even making sure to not make it too long, and it still never got brought up :')
I even had to remind my DM that my character was afraid of the dark, and spent the next 20 minutes IRL feared because he forgot to have me roll to overcome it. Not to mention I didn't get anywhere near the final boss because we started at lvl 5 and my Eldritch Blast had double range.

My favorite class is the bard. I have never made a horny bard. I love them because of the music and the potential for inspiring character speeches (as well as, you know, swaying the fabric of reality with the beauty of your voice). Although if I'm being honest, I've only ever played one bard character so far. However, she is also the most wholesome character I've ever made. Not even a tragic backstory! She just successfully prevented something tragic from happening and it inspired her to go adventuring.
There are certain perks to being a fire-resistant Dragonborn druid. Like subduing an entire haunted kitchen single handedly even though the oven kept spewing fire. I also got a pet duck from the kitchen that I named Donald
Bard: you're either gay, have a lot of backup characters, or just really like casting vicious mockery.
3/3... Is this a personal attack or something?
Bard: this is your first game and you probably don't plan on taking it seriously, and heard this was the best class to do so...
My first character I made is a Bard. I do like casting vicious mockery it’s fun. That was one reason why I went with that class. Another reason is because I’m a theatre nerd and I like magic and I liked the idea of combined magic and music as well
I have also thought of a quite a bit of different characters for other campaigns. I’m playing in 2 different campaigns one has taken a long break and the other one has kept having sessions be canceled because sometimes life is unpredictable

Still pretty new to D&D, but once I am more comfortable with the RP side I really want to try out certain fighter ideas. It seems like a great blank slate class (for making a character) with decent enough combat ability to not have to worry about that side of things.
On the other hand, I dislike bards. They seem overly tied to the theme of music. I’d rather add that love for music to any other class if I wanted a “bard.” (Personal taste. I’ve seen some cool bards, but just prefer the music thing as background over a class feature.)
My first character was a pyromancer summoner who also was surprisingly skilled with a flame sword. He was also very quiet, walking and speech, and kinda acted like a rogue

Ranger: Half of your abilities are useless because you wanted to be Legolas.
Rogue: Little shitlord gremlin who likes to tease the party like an annoying little sibling.
Sorcerer: Constantly fights with the Wizard that Metamagic and prepared spells make their class better.
Wizard: Constantly fights with the Sorcerer that preparing spells and more fun subclasses make their class better.

Mystic: you're the guy who got kicked out the second the DM saw the Class section of your character sheet
As a person new to DnD, what exactly is a Mystic and why do people hate them?
@@chani3644 a mystic is a new class out of Unearthed Arcana. They use psionics (which is basically the power of the big brain you have) to cast 'spells' and do some absolutely OP crazy stuff like
-never getting counterspelled
- never missing a target
- being able to be permanently invisible to ONE PERSON within like 30 feet
- control others (NPC or PC WITHOUT the use of spells)
I say 'people' probably dont hate them. DMs do. You can't counter them or stop them or do anything (unless you use Mindflayers/illithids in every single encounter)
They can choose ANY spell or ability from ANY of their subclasses (so it doesn't matter which subclass they pick) they don't need to speak or wave their hands OR need components for spells (so basically they just cast if for FREE free)
And they have proficiency with some weapons and armor and a hit dice of 1d8, so they aren't as squishy as wizards and sorcerers even though mystics are 10x stronger than them.
(Players might hate mystics because they are OP and take any specialization away from ANY class. They can literally do ANYTHING they want around the levels 2-3)
@@ur2retarded Thanks! I can see how that would be annoying for players and DMs. Why can they just control people? That seems weird to me.

@@bobafett215x
I think an arrow/bolt are actually too light to have Catapult used on them.
They probably keep asking because of spells like Conjure Barrage, that changes the damage type based on the objects that are being launched. After all, it IS odd that a launched (example) to deal bludgeoning instead of piercing damage.
Well, it is up to the DM if a certain damage type is more appropriate for a given situation. Plus, it could be that they are either trying to take advantage of this or that they watch too much (insert dnd podcast group name here).
I feel so called out by the DM one- My party and I sit around the table after we're done for the night, insulting our old DM that we left
The warlock one hurt. I always use agonizing blast, a certain feature that comes with the patron picked, and hellish rebuke as a reaction.
I would use shatter but my party has only done close combat so far and I don't want to be the one that takes out our party.
I do have a magic weapon but due to the range and since it usally doesn't hit I don't use it. Mostly it's only good for restraining.
Also the contract made with the patron allows many chances for the patron to do something. Like they can enter the dreams and are able to use telepathy whenever. Plus the patron is locked alway it's not like it's doing anything besides waiting for freedom

My favourite paladin character was this really chill dude, polite but still generally relaxed. Even during combat, he had no issues remaining calm and even doing a few jokes along the way. He also proceeded to create a private military out of all the bandits, thieves and so on that he defeated, using them to enforce rules along the road while collecting tolls, being bodyguards or enforces, and even attacking other organisations to subsume them.
Oath of Conquest ftw.
My very first time playing D&D was with a 3.5e group where I was introduced in the middle of the campaign. To help me pick a class, my friend asked me what I wanted my character to do. "Well, I like healing, so I want to be able to heal, but I also want to be able to defend myself, so I want to be able to cast offensive spells."
My first class ended up being a dual classed half-elf Cleric/Sorcerer that ended up prestige classing as a Mystic Theurge.
When that campaign ended, since I tend to be The Healer but magic wasn't allowed for story reasons, I ended up being a human Alchemist, and the DM did a modification of Chirurgeon to help buff up my healing.
While in that campaign, I ended up joining a new campaign that my friend is DMing for 5e. For my third character/class, I decided to just be a halfling Fighter. It's so easy. I don't even have to be awake to mumble that I'm attacking and roll my dice. I don't regret my earlier decisions, but, man, I wish my other classes were this easy.
