yeah pro bono rules lawyer Aabria Iyengar’s clutch alert feat moment in The Seven when Charity Blythe tried to sneak attack her on a suprise round and thanks to the alert feat couldn’t and Antiope was able to stay up
Well, bringing didn't accidentally lead to that happening. He just didn't know what new feet she picked after lovelling up . She actually did not have alert In the previous battle. In adventuring party she Talks about she decided to choose it Because her current combos already took up her action economy, each turn pretty easily. And there was the chance she would have either switch bows ammo mid battle ( Of course, she never had to because she plans so well and has those flow charts ) Put optimum damage with her build . So peeking a new feat that was passive was a no brainer. If you were initiative is higher than the rangers It's probably some rogue build trying to sneak attack you. Alert makes you immune to surprise, Enemies don't attack with advantage on you for being unseen by you, And plus five initiative for the hell of it. An arcane trickster like Charity Blythe never stood a chance. Yo I just realized that the alert ability even ties into which Eidolon chooses her. How are you gonna surprise someone who is literally always on time. 🤯. I don't even think that's intentional because no one talked about it, but it is so perfect and thematic.
@@johnnysweetly3757 I think it might be the same shirt but with the top buttons folded down in the D20 episode, but it’s far funnier to think that Brennan has two nearly identical shirts with different numbers of buttons.
I love that Zac sets up the rug pull by saying "OK, I'm scared, I'm compelled..." just in case saying Charmed and Frightened reminds Brennan that he has Mindless Rage. He didn't have to say anything at all but knew it'd be funnier with a proper setup. Earned the victory without compromising the bit. The hero we need.
I think he was also making it seem like, "Well, I'm working for the bad guy right now because I'm feared AND charmed, so to be fair and not metagame I have to go all out to hurt my allies just like I would with the enemies, and going all out includes raging." So he's saying "I'm scared and compelled," as a justification for why he is raging when it hypothetically is bad for him and his allies so that Brennan doesn't suspect anything, only to reveal that actually he did it because it's GOOD for them
I'd also add up that moment in ACOC where i think Lou said something like "you established falling takes three turns, could i use one of them to come out of paralysis and another one to go into a rage?"
I actually found out recently that sentence was talking about Starstruck's books, because Plinth is mentioned as the winner in a previous battle of the brands.
While I love all these examples, Zach's move is special. All the others are "I innocuously gifted/allowed something and the players found an unexpectedly good use for it"; an awesome feeling, to be sure, but it happens to every DM now and then. Zach, on the other hand, baited somebody into doing something stupid...which is supposed to be the DM's job.
Brennan's "no wait" is one of my favourite Brennan sounds, he doesn't do it often but it is sooo funny every time I love it so much (he says it here, in the game changer episode and in the crown of candy final battle when Siobhan rolls a Nat 20 on like her first turn)
And the thing that makes Brennan such a good DM is that part of him is deeply deeply thrilled about it every single time. He loves when his players pull one over on him, he loves the cleverness, even if it fucks with his plans.
Moments like this are my favorite to both watch and also to be a part of (on either side of the DM screen). Just pure dopamine moments. Some other notable times this happened are Antiope Jones with Alert, Fabian's eye patch in the goldenrod fight. Also general shout out to Saccharina using lightning/thunder spells to beat like 3 encounters pretty much single-handedly .
I usually watch d20 on my second screen with 80% attention, so when Jorjuj got charmed I was thinking, "hey, isn't he immune to that during rage?", because I thought he was already raging at that point. This made it even better.
This should include a moment from COC when ally detects who exactly has the poison daggers used to attack Lou (Sorry I don't remember the names of the characters)
The phrase “fail by five or more” is incredibly scary to me. Because a loooot of scary things happen with save effects with those words. Multiple counts of petrifaction from Medusa’s, Cockatrices, Couple of counts of poison, Drow poison fail by 5 drops you unconscious and stable at ZERO, wyvern poison I think does something real nasty.
When people talk about "metagaming", this is an example of the type I most dislike. Emily tells Zac the best way to socially manipulate the DM into providing an in-game mechanical benefit. It's like when she bragged about her tactic in Operation Slippery Puppet, where she intentionally shared essential information quickly, while others were talking, so that the DM wouldn't register it fully.
I love Emily’s cackle
And Brennan’s “No wait”, followed by the sitting down reminds me of an old-timey damsel in distress
Emily's laughs are one of my favorite things in D20
++
There's also the moment when that headmaster lady tries to stab someone in the back only to get reminded that character can't be suprise attacked

Brennan.exe fully stopped working for a minute after that happened 😂
this moment is what makes me want to watch the seven, it just seems so funny
@@four1629 The Seven is so good. Fantastic mix of both humor and heartfelt moments

Cutting to Brennan, IN THE SAME SHIRT, saying the same thing is what makes this a masterpiece
It's not the same shirt, count the buttons. COUNT THE BUTTONS!
@@johnnysweetly3757 I think it might be the same shirt but with the top buttons folded down in the D20 episode, but it’s far funnier to think that Brennan has two nearly identical shirts with different numbers of buttons.
"brennan only has three shirts"
or something like that i cannot remember the exact quote lol
less NOOooo energy then when Margaret walked away from the giant space corn monster hanging from the edge
I thought of his "no wait" from the other show, I didn't realize he was in the same shirt.
I love that Zac sets up the rug pull by saying "OK, I'm scared, I'm compelled..." just in case saying Charmed and Frightened reminds Brennan that he has Mindless Rage.

Gorgug was one slippery puppet.
He cracks up at his plan the first time he says “should I” 😭
I'd also add up that moment in ACOC where i think Lou said something like "you established falling takes three turns, could i use one of them to come out of paralysis and another one to go into a rage?"
Loved that moment, it also worked so well in the story because he saw Ruby's amulet go out. That whole sequence was just 👌
LOCAL CANDY MAN LITERALLY TOO ANGRY TO DIE
Always enjoy a good “we read the book brennan!” moment
"I BOUGHT THE BOOK!"
I actually found out recently that sentence was talking about Starstruck's books, because Plinth is mentioned as the winner in a previous battle of the brands.
When he lined up a bunch of enemies in a straight line forgetting Emily had lighting bolt
Also when Brennan had all those rust monsters crowd around a dust mephit
The cutaway to the Game Changer "No, wait" is perfect 😙👌
While I love all these examples, Zach's move is special. All the others are "I innocuously gifted/allowed something and the players found an unexpectedly good use for it"; an awesome feeling, to be sure, but it happens to every DM now and then.
Zach, on the other hand, baited somebody into doing something stupid...which is supposed to be the DM's job.
Emily isn't an allowed thing, it's a she reads and remembers all the rules and spells/abilities. She knows how to cause the most damage.
Brennan's "no wait" is one of my favourite Brennan sounds, he doesn't do it often but it is sooo funny every time I love it so much (he says it here, in the game changer episode and in the crown of candy final battle when Siobhan rolls a Nat 20 on like her first turn)
Brennan’s “how did you know there’d be a plinth in this fight?” was beautiful
I've not watched that season and I'm already spoiled anyway - how did she know, actually?
She didn't know. It was just hilariously convenient. 😂
@@Speedy-vy4kq that's nuts
Saccharina's Lightning Bolt from ACOC would also fit here!! All of Brennan's little guys in a line...
It would quickly become the Emily show then. She's pulled a lot of things on him.
No D20 season can be complete without defeating and mindbreaking Brennan lol
There is no greater joy as a player than completely uno reversing the DM xD
POV: You want PvP so badly you forget what your player can actually do
You can see the moment the glee physically breaks free of Emily’s control.
I thought the double birds was her at first, but Siobhan getting in on it was great.
And the thing that makes Brennan such a good DM is that part of him is deeply deeply thrilled about it every single time. He loves when his players pull one over on him, he loves the cleverness, even if it fucks with his plans.
Gorgug's recent commitment to his barbarian classes has really paid off!
MANGO SODAAAAAAAAAAAA
Brennan's cautious "okayyyy" in the second clip is priceless. 😅
The Ocean's 11 moment is the best moment of Intrepid Heroes flabbergasting.

“do you wanna know more, brennan? 🤭🤭”
I love at 0:23 and 2:58 when the music drops the same moment brennan realizes he’s been got!! Shout out to the editing team
"It was at this moment he realized.... he fucked up."
there are at least 3 total fantasy high moments when Brennan forgets how Mindless Rage works
Notice the distinct amount of Emily Axford in these clips
That black shirt is now his "No... wait" shirt
Slippery Puppet 2: Gorgug Strikes Back
Poor Brennan🤣 King Amethar falling off the castle could've been an edition to this too
Brennan’s “Hey, I f*cked myself” weirdly has the same energy as that Paul Rudd “hey, look at us” meme
"Emily is one of the best D&D players in the world, and also she was sent from Hell to kill me."
what a beautiful thumbnail
I usually watch d20 on my second screen with 80% attention, so when Jorjuj got charmed I was thinking, "hey, isn't he immune to that during rage?", because I thought he was already raging at that point. This made it even better.
i also thought Jerj was in a rage but the monopoly rules of "no one called it out so now it played" happened
I'm surprised they didn't cut to his interview describing Emily as being sent from hell to destroy him.
I feel like Jasmine should get an honorable mention for handing Squing the important piece of paper in Coffin Run
I appreciate that 75% of this vid is Emily specifically fucking Brennan over. Even with the Zac bit, it was Emily pushing him to do it
During the castle siege in ACOC with all the troop movements, BLeeM also has another 'hang on, I fucked up' moment.
I've never seen him called BLeeM before. That's kind of funny
@@kashiichan He prefers BLeeM instead of BLM.
Yet another lesson for new players: read your characters abilities.
*chef's kiss*
He realizes he screwed himself over even worse than this later in the season.
Glad I'm not the only one who was reminded of the Game Changer episode 😂
Emily: But wait! There's more!
This should include a moment from COC when ally detects who exactly has the poison daggers used to attack Lou
(Sorry I don't remember the names of the characters)
Crown of Candy has so many of those moments for sure! Murph having the Knock spell is another one that comes to mind.
Ally= Liam Lou= King Amethar
Poetic cinema
Brennan’s no wait might be my favorite brennan noise
Fabulous montage. If you do another, def add his offhand "Yeah you can roll a nat 20 to be alive again" to Ally in Fantasy high season 1!!!
and then anytime he agrees to ally's "if i roll a nat 20, can i"😂
Hook, line, & SINKER!
I love this compilation!! I appreciate the addition of indicating which episodes each clip came from. 🤩
I love that Siobahn's signature move is the Stone Cold double middle fingers. 😂
That “Oh my god” from Murph during operation slippery puppet lowkey hits different
The phrase “fail by five or more” is incredibly scary to me. Because a loooot of scary things happen with save effects with those words.
Multiple counts of petrifaction from Medusa’s, Cockatrices,
Couple of counts of poison, Drow poison fail by 5 drops you unconscious and stable at ZERO, wyvern poison I think does something real nasty.
H-how did you know there'd be a Plinth in this fight???????!
In crown of candy when Emily lightnings all the bread soldiers in a row
You Dare USE MY OWN SPELLS AGIANST ME !?!??
My favorite one is the time that he gave the whole party fire immunity then held the final battle in a lava gymnasium
This is what 6d20 psychic damage looks like
Bleem Getting Got In His Own House
Zac passed his deception roll
I know is Aabria, but Chirp's gift of gab against grandfather was also an amazing moment
3:09 yeah, it be like that
