Thank you so much for telling my story! This is a super happy day for me!
In your dnd story if y'all still going it I wanna see a interaction with the dragon again :> lil red encounter again would be awesome and then somehow get it on UA-cam like this one. Titled
"A dragons revenge" or something just spit balling cause I love this lil story"
what happened to Rangus? :(
@@MasterGenshu He died at the last encounter before the final battle. Maybe I'll tell that story someday.
@@ItzChubbalump awww :(

god damn, that actually be older than me
My Nat 1 Rollin ass misread the title as "How the brave Paladin BUFFED the dragon, Twice"
I saw that too and got scared
That seemed counter-intuitive but then I read again and then I felt stupid
Lol, same!
i too, read buffed
Yeah same lol 🤣
plotting against the dragon while riding on its back- extremely suicidal
Dragons are netorious for those sharp senses, as Bilblo would attest.
What I find more surprising is that the red dragon didn't just eat them after arriving at their destination. Bargain fulfilled, meal attained and trinket won... pretty good day to me.
Dragon: time for a barrel roll.
Dragon :
Fool me once Shame on me
Fool me twice shame on (natural 20) me.. Again
People say dexterity is the god stat, i say the have never played with a charismatic bard or paladin XD
It's easier, so it's popular to imagine anything PHYSICAL... Most people lack the savvy to understand so clearly how Charisma, Wisdom, or other intangible stat's really work in-game... Once you get those kinds of concepts, you can accomplish quite a lot just because the rest of the Players (and often the GM) underestimate what you're really capable of doing. ;o)
Words are the mightiest weapon of them all.
I feel like this arguments pretty flawed cause by that logic intelligence is an op stat because you've never played a wizard. Even though I would argue unless you're a intelligence caster the stat is hot trash. I don't think you're really wrong as charisma is really good, but dexterity is almost always a really good stat to have, though like every stat there's an absurd character to abuse it so every stat is good is some situation.
This is way I also make a character with high charisma in any dnd-like rpg
None of you have ever played with a stupidly strong character before. Once you get a strong enough character, things such as walls and doors just become suggestions of places you shouldn't be, but doesn't actually stop you from going to that place, or sometimes just outright demolishing that place if you so feel like it. Having a strong enough character means you can physically move your enemies around and they can't do anything about it, even if they're a size or two larger than your own character. And nothing is more satisfying than watching an enemy utterly piss itself in fear as you pick up objects it couldn't ever hope to lift up itself, only to be used by you as you bludgeon it and its friends to death, or better yet you pick up one of its friends and beat it to death with its own friend, effectively killing two enemies in one go.
If you need to use words for some situations...see if your DM will allow your character to use Strength instead of Charisma for Intimidation under the grounds your PC looks like he has tree trunks for arms and looks strong enough to rip a tree out of the ground and beat anything within range to death with it. Just about anything coming out of the mouth of someone like that would likely be intimidating enough as it is.
Bluffing , proving how the tongue can mightier than the sword
Read the title , already seems like a fascinating story
So I just DM'd my first D&D session!
It was a ton of fun with my clever and hilarious players. We're gonna play again sometime next week, so we might play a new module. I'm so happy!
Hey, I know I really don't know you or vicea versa, but how did you session(s) go recently? I am a fellow DM so I am always curious for others success
Super late but like the guy before, I am curious as well! If you can, I would also like to here how your session went! Or if uou doing any now?
"We haven't made one decision so far that hasn't been stupid, and we're still here aren't we!?"
"I can't argue with that, but I feel like I should."
Me: looks at profile pic then comment.
Hmm, seems like something someone would say about that character if they've seen the show.
...not that I have 🙄🤥.
@@magnusludicarum1140 Although, it could probably fit Derpy in the right situation, it's a quote from a graphic novel/comic series called BONE.
@@timwoods2852 hm, certainly looks like a fun series.
@@magnusludicarum1140 Definitely a great read with some, surprisingly, dark elements.
Shadows die twice...
Paladins lie twice
Red Dragon: *_" Hmmmh tasty humanoid mea- "_*
Mortals: *_" We money - knowing - location, derp! "_*
Red Dragon: *_" ( °o°) "_*
That's one way to deal with an adult red dragon...
Still, I can't help but wonder if the original poster's party ended up fighting this red dragon, later, who was more than likely miffed at having been deceived...
"Equally stupid and amazing idea" - I specialize in those, at least those that are some mixture of the two. Usually preceded with my catch phrase, "Screw it, rule of cool!" and followed with me having to roll up a new character. I spent a decade with my group before having a character survive a campaign.
Then again, I have had TWO characters die trying to rodeo ride an owlbear. A bard and a rogue. Both with 8 Strength and no investment in grappling.
If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
Wow, this is definitely one of the biggest heart-attack stories out there. XD
Who else got mesmerized by the looping Wolfen?
How about the loup-ing Wolfen?
I'll see myself out now.
@@kevinbrink423 oh no
As I was checking my work, I got a little entranced as well. "You are getting very sleepy"
Me!
Paladin: Dragon! I've come to bargain!
I have never bluffed a dragon but I hope to in my future.
I rp a character who happens to be a dragon, if we were to rp you can totally do that
It would be interesting to c u try, from a safe distance of course.
@@magnusludicarum1140 if you wanna rp with my dragon you could bluff hin
@@niconicer6463 lol, Thanks for the offer but whether the dragon is "good" or not doesn't change the fact that their the most arrogant race in fantasy. While they certainly have license to be as such, it doesn't make interacting with them pleasant... especially so if they don't have "good" in their alignment.
WRANGLING RANGUSSSSSSSSSSSssss oh gosh...oh nooo! WHAT HAS HAPPENED? Calamity ingenitous dread! I think i am becoming insane..Yirbel lives!
You're earlier than usual today
YIRBEL LIVES!
that was an epic story. most of the time the rule of the thumb is "don't try to fool the dragon" but if you manage to do this and live to tell the tale it's always a great story
How is everyone doing today
Cold, but good. Thanks for asking.

@@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062 oh sorry for assuming
Speaking draconic is so OP
When he said palladium fantasy I was so happy!
Same I was big into Rifts back in the day. Ran 3 campaigns of it.
I'm very familiar with Palladium Fantasy. It's a very complicated rule set that I don't think is very beginner friendly.
I had a similar situation happened. My group, and I was the DM, did an encounter where they had a white Abishai, rider on a white ancient dragon. The main bad guy sent them to defeat these heroes. During the fight they were able to defeat the rider, with some well-placed range attacks. And the bard, of the party casted heat metal on the helmet that the ancient white dragon was forced to wear. Because the rider was no longer there... it’s next turn was to rip it off and then it was broken free from the magic.
It’s snarled angrily but was also placed in a force cage so we could not leave the space. Through some very terrible roles and negotiation they were able to finally calm down the white dragon and say they would let it free, go back to it’s home in the cold mountains.
The fact that two players were terrible at persuasion checks and they were able to narrowly survive the effect of this thing getting extremely angry was comical but at the same time a huge warning that if they only expecting fighting to be the way to win, death was 1 breath weapon away.
All praise to the Dice Gods for the existence of the "Nat 20"!
I pretty much ALWAYS use Random Encounters when I DM.
Granted, I eventually developed a homebrew blend of Random & Set encounters that I use as my "Random" encounters. (Hey! If I put all the work & creative energy into creating an encounter with a number of SG-1 Replicator style Constructs are marching along & are building a castle in the middle of nowhere, with their bodies serving as the bricks. . . the players are DAMN well gonna SEE IT!) lol
Nothing more frustrating & demoralizing than coming up with something you feel is really "cool" and the table never sees it!

Hell ya Palladium Fantasy Squad
I love the good Paladin stories.
Lol your stories are the best and amazingly narrated!!
Are we sure this is a Paladin and not a Bard or a Rogue!?
@@gelbadayah.sneach579
Meh. All three can benefit from good Charisma.
well Paladins are charisma casters so... yeah.
Bluffing mechanics in Palladium are different than D&D players might be used to but I used familiar terms so people wouldn't be confused. That said, if you must know, Rangus' charisma was actually kind of shite but in Palladium bluff/persuasion was based on percentage dice and iirc, both rolls were below 5, which my brother counted as a critical success in his games.
For an idea what Castlerake is capable of, it is the destroyer of barriers. Stick it in a castle wall, it will crumble. Unless it's a barrier created by a Spell of Legend, it will dispell, and even those barriers will take a heavy toll. There is a very good reason it was split into many pieces and scattered all over the world.
I know the joy OP felt with those Natural 20s. Last week, November 25th of 2020, My Cleric of Sarenrae, a Half Orc named Tarak Ember (fire and healing domains) for a Rise of the Runelords game in Pathfinder 1e, pulled off something similar.
We had essentially gotten swarmed on both sides by goblins, heading into the dungeon at the end of Book 1 (which the dm had been adding Homebrew throughout the game, not purely by the book). So, after handling a fight on the sevond floor, me and the wizard went back to floor one to see an NPC and make sure they were safe still. Well, this is when we met the goblins that were comjng from behind, the Thistletop Tribe. And, it’s when we learned that I could talk to them, in Abyssal. So, I calmed the one that actually was at the stairs, and had the wizard go to the party, while I went off on my own, hoping to AT LEAST distract the goblins.
I met Ripnugget, the leader of the tribe, and began to speak with him, learning the plight of his tribe and their hate for my cleric’s home. A home that, on occasion, treated him just as poorly. So, rather than focus into delaying a fight, I began to speak truly as a cleric of Sarenrae and find a way to make peace. The goblins were hesitant, but seemed to begin warming up. Roll Diplomacy.
It’s at this time, I want to mention my cleric has 10 Charisma, and only 1 rank in Diplomacy, for a +4 to the roll. The DM, between my race and roleplay, gave me a +2 bonus based on the circumstances, for +6. So, I set up the dice roller on Roll20.
And I Nat 20d. 26 total. The entire discord chat went nuts with joy and excitement right then. And I was breathing heavy with shock, relief, and a massive grin.
We just finished the dungeon a week after that, on December 2nd 2020, and will be making our way back to town soon. And I have a meeting to help set up to help make arrangements between the goblins and the people of Sandpoint for mutual aid and protection. And hopefully we can find the goblins some women so they actually have their numbers back soon. So again, I feel the pure joy that OP had when he Double Nat 20d woth that dragon, even if I only got a single one myself, as we both managed to save our parties from potential TPKs.
So have you ever bluffed a dragon?
No sadly
Never had the opportunity
No, but I'm playing my first "official" campaign and caused all the weapons within the room to turn into various pastries.
Never had the chance, but palladium is a great system.
I managed to not get our party killed, and we had a shiny-loving Kobold and a Tiefling who wanted it as a pet.
if you ask me, the moment a stupid idea works? it ain't a stupid idea anymore.
Kobold Paladin, not very bright, but tricksey! We had to recover a Legendary Rod of Necromancy. When we returned, I did a persuasion to get the red dragon to take a mysterious prize in a bag (ground bones of a vampire). Party was surprised, and good times were had.
Awesome story.
Loved it.
How the DM let the paladin's player get away with it....
Ah yes another legendary story.
My homebrew dragon slayer class would've been like eat his flames and roll intimidation
Sometimes the charismatic barbarian works wonders as well.
We have random encounters in the current campaign that I'm playing in. One involved us having to run from a giant moth while the snow from the mountain top of the mountain we were on was coming down at us. Nearly lost two players
As someone that started playing Palladium Fantasy... I was oddly disturbed by the D&D terms put on it. lol
Best DnD ROTLFMAO I got all year, thanks.
I use random encounters (sort of), D&D 3.5e. I set up more encounters than the party will have to deal with when travelling and then use those as a sort of chart to see which ones the party actually get. The one they got that paid off the most was a single injured pseudodragon. It took a liking to the party rogue (also NG). The little guy has come up clutch in encounter after encounter.
Thinking about random encounters reminds me of my first DnD campaign. During our first session, the party got split up in this big forest because of a trap from some Kobolds. The DM had us roll to see what everyone was going to encounter, the Druid and Rogue came across and Owl Bear that had been injured and the druid went to work healing the creature, while our halfling bard got lucky and just got a leisurely stroll through the forest. Then it came to me, the Dwarf Barbarian who just started playing DnD, and I got to stare down a Dire Boar the DM didn't expect me to survive facing, though as you can imagine, I did :P. Just for the some context, I'm one of those crazy guys who thought it would be fun if at some point I got to ride something like a bear, and to me, this boar wasn't and enemy, it was an opportunity. So the encounter starts and the boar charges, so what do I do, I roll to catch it and grapple it, success. A few turns later, I've broken this boar into submission, and so when the group meets up at the edge of the forest, they all get watch me exit the forest riding on top of a Dire Boar (a mount I would keep for the rest of the journey and became rather attached to.)
YAY for Palladium Wolfen
The worst random encounter I've experienced was a huge spider thing that eats magic items. It ate my +4 Greatclub of Slow-Burst (It slowed enemies on crits) only a few sessions after I had spent 36.000 gold on it, and then it knocked me off a cliff, dealing over 100 damage to me. I survived but I was very sad.. :D
Smaug, I have come to bargain.
Fun, my real first adventure was in Palladium too ^^ Neat System, not quite up for 2020 but back in the day it was quite okay-ish.
Stay crunchy.
Not gonna lie. I was on the edge of my seat. That was SO RISKY! OMG!
Good vid!
My undead fallen paladin once told an Angel to stop his divine purging of a undead invaded town, and fuck off.
And it worked.
He just used the amulet to get a free ride from a dragon with a couple of extremely lucky rolls and clever choices
Stupid Hail Mary Passes like this are my bread and butter
This is a good story. It felt like a good bargaining with smaug ( the dragon from the Lord of the rings)
But if i may make a request.... can you make a video that can make me cry. ( thy seam to wake up my humanity... if that makes any sense)
You watch the Bonzy video yet?
Currently, we are playing a 5E game. Mu husband is DM, My daughter a halfling ranger, I'm a half-elf mute bard, and the other 2 at our table are a tabazy rouge and an elemental Claric. My husband rolled a random encounter for the night, my daughter's character found a Tarrasque Egg, hatched it. And now runs around with a Tarrasque baby in her bag of holding. Our campaign is officially broken.
Wow. I figure Wulvinar must be a dice god or something, because two nat 20s in a row is insane. What are the chances- 1 in 400 or something?
Well ... a 0.025 is not so bad
Pass a pancake to the paladin!
Well. That was a fantastic fight, all around.
Honestly, random rolls can result in some pretty stupid events. Like one where my character, a former military scout, managed to get hooked on a balcony while escaping while another, much less physically able character, ended up landing it with no problem.
hell yea a palladium story. i played the fuck out of Rifts for like 5 years, a great game system.
Thanks from a dm (me) and anger from my idiots, who had to fight this dragon
This was a really good story had something similar happen last time I got to play are dm set up a trap with a red dragon did not go as planned for him all of the things he planned on us doing the one thing he never thought of was us setting a trap n the dragon convincing it to join us the look on his face was priceless
I was hoping for a bluff of "I have dragon proof armor"
Damn that was awesome.
Back when I use to DM, I used random encounters. However, if something like a dragon were to be rolled I would always have it be seen off in the distance. That way the party decided whether or not to fight it. if they died fighting it, it was their own fault. The dragon would have never even been aware of them if they hadn't gone after it. Of course... they always tracked it back to it's lair. "We're going to sneak in and steal some of it's hoard!" "So, you're tired of playing these characters and want to roll up new ones. Gotcha!."
The dice gods be kind to this wolf man.
Ok here’s a story of my first (currently running) campaign I’m an aarakokra ranger and I’ve rolled a nat 20 twice at least. The first time was against a random goblin I rolled an attack nat 20 chopped clean in half.. the second was against a bug bear rolled a nat 20 and decapitated him threw his head at a goblin
hey, its not stupid if it works!
Wait a minute.... Allora, the wizard? Who's on the Tal'Dorei Council?
If it is stupid, but it works. It is not stupid.
Oh I read is as: How this paladin BUFFED the dragon twice, is he a friend? Why is it interesting? So many questions. Druidbarian?
I had a time when I was new and playing d&d 3.5 I was the mage and we were in the middle of a dungeon and walked into a big room at this point we were lvl1 or 2 and the necromancer said I look into the pit in the middle of the room he dose and he falls in and goes imedeitly unconscious and then we throw I torch down
and notice a slithering shape just outside the light then our cleric starts to make a plan then I realised slow falling is a raneged spell and we had the cleric go in the pit with slow falling and Chanel's
Then we fight the acid dragon in the pit that is how my uncle the necromancer go a rep for falling in dragon pits he lived to fall in 2 more pits and change to a hard
Palladium fantasy. Ahh how I miss you. Still think rifts is the best rpg universe idea ever though. Also red dragons are mid teir they might have been able to take it.
How can I submit a story I have that involves beating a demon prince at his own game using great wits even when the odds were against my party and being praised by the demon for being ONE of very few creatures to gain both his HATE and RESPECT.
One: Would love to hear it!
Two: I assume they have a discord, an email, or something either in the description of videos or linked on the channel bio.
@@thevoidismyhome7242 ah, I found their website thanks I hope itlbe in the video
Trinston was here..
There are wolf people in dnd there called lupin
I disagree. THE MOST TERRIFYING THING A DM CAN SAY IS: "You know, you don't HAVE TO fight everything... you can run...."
Anyone else notice the repeat sentence
Hello fellow firstcomers
Well, rolling a custom campaign in the wilderness of the Chult, I kinda have to, otherwise it wouldn't feel very 'wild' and dangerous, would it? But the full coven of green hags at 3 newbe lvl 2 character was beyond rough especially at night. (I sent only one and even then...)
This why dragons extinct
Actually, there is actually a D&D wolf humanoid race (I think it's called Lupin) that has deeper roots in D&D canon than Tabaxi.
I thought this was a fail story and he was going to buff the dragon
Oops
If its red I think dead.
I'd like to see how someone would play as Mr. Bean in a DnD campaign. I wonder if anyone has done that yet?
hi
So... D&D Battle Tendency?
Anyone else read the title as
How the Brave Paladin BUFFED the dragon, twice?
Wait so how was the guy being wolflike relevant?
My question: How did you roll a Nat 20 on a Percentile? A Nat 01%?
My tiny brain throught it said buff not bluff
I read brain paladin
Although this would make for poor story telling. That dragon could have easily flown as high as it needed and then rolled over with a good shake.
Let everyone fall to their deaths and rake up some chow.
But that would be mean

Complete with cut scenes?! What? Isn't a cutscene in a video game where the game makers take control of your character and tell you what it does....isn't that like exactly antithetical to the point of d&d? not the first time I've heard of someone having cutscenes in a game, but I've never heard of it being implemented well
Yup, still the same voice for every single sentence. Still not sure if you're a real person or an AI reading a script.
