That comment about being more intrested in Helena and panic's relationship than saving the elemental planes...i totally agree. Also hello Bosco, have a great day ☺
I also agree. Not that I'm super interested in panic and helena, it's just I'm not too interested in these planes. 100+ episodes have been Alivast and material plane oriented so this shift just doesn't seem as important to me. Edit: Also with less engagement from taka and bosco during this arc and Seika's infuriatingly consistent low rolls lessens the humor, roleplay engagement, and fun, respectively.
It’s the escalation problem. By making the stakes to high it’s hard to care about the bigger picture when things become so big. It’s like in the super Broly movie where it’s easier to care about Broly surviving against Gogeta than it is to care about the Multiverse getting wiped out in the tournament of power. I also think that the very little focus on Greckles himself is also harming this arc as he’s supposed to be the emotional center of this storyline, but he’s barely connected to it
@@stefanmiller5896 also its annoying that monty is trying too hard to make all the elemental planes japanese. Even if its supposed to be greckels arc it makes no sense that 4 different dimensions that are supposed to be separate, and some are opposite each other, are still all japanese.
I love this campaign so much. Everyone is so amazing at what they bring to the table. All the interpersonal interactions between the characters are some of my personal favorites when it comes to D&D shows I watch. However, lately the thing I've come to love the most is when I hear Bosco get excited or laugh and joke around. You're a good man Bosco and you bring so much to every game. Sometimes without saying a word for most of the session. Love you all and go kick an Oni's ass!!
Welcome to Pi's Nit-Picks where for personal reasons I go through new episodes of The Unexpectables and nit-pick it of any instance where how they play and RAW don't line up in a cinemasins-esque manner. Spoiler alert: because of how this works, I might have to go into spoiler territory but I'll try to be subtle about it. Disclaimer: I am not telling anyone how to play dungeons & dragons. It's their game, not mine. These are not criticisms, these are nit-picks. I’m not trying to antagonize anyone, I’m a fan just like you. Nit-Picks: 55:34 : Rangers, like sorcerers and bards, don’t prepare spells after a long rest like druids. Instead, they have spells known which they can only change out after a level up, so unless Monty changed those rules about spellcasting due to the slow rate of leveling up, Task wouldn’t know Lesser Restoration. 1:15:24 : Task would’ve rolled an additional Hunter’s Mark damage die due to the critical hit. 1:23:35, 1:51:45, 2:24:24 and 2:42:20 : Greckles would’ve rolled with disadvantage as the enemy he’s targeting is beyond his weapon’s normal range. 1:29:28 : Remy cannot use War Magic to make a weapon attack as a bonus action either time as he had already used it to teleport his longsword to his hand and because Action Surge doesn’t grant you an additional bonus action. 1:43:30 : The spell save DC for spell scrolls is determined entirely on its level, so a level 3 spell would have a save DC of 15. 1:46:00 : Borky rolls two excess d6’s for his Savage Attacks/Brutal Critical. 1:50:36 : Typically, when using two weapon fighting, you must use your action to attack first, then you can attack as a bonus action. 1:50:36 : You cannot make an “offhand attack” with a Sunblade as it lacks the light property. 1:58:04 and 2:30:35 : There isn’t a rule stating that if a creature is compelled to move it doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks, “You also don't provoke an opportunity attack when you teleport or when someone or something moves you without using your movement, action, or reaction.” Because the enemy used its own movement to move, it provokes an opportunity attack. 2:00:00: I appreciate that it’s unrealistic to expect Monty to consider all of her enemies’ abilities all of the time but during Vanguard Jade’s last turn she could’ve utilised her Unwavering Mark subclass ability, which would given that particular mirmidon disadvantage to attack Seika and would’ve granted Jade a special bonus action attack against it on her next turn. 2:14:22 : Task should’ve had disadvantage on the ranged attack rolls as he’s within 5 feet of a hostile creature. 2:28:34 : One of the earth elementals would’ve had disadvantage on the saving throw as Remy’s attack that hit on the enemies’ turn would’ve “activated” his Eldritch Strike subclass ability. 2:43:30 : Because she has the Mounted Combatant feat, Vanguard Jade would’ve had advantage on the attack roll as her target is smaller than her mount. 2:46:40 and 2:52:09 : The Elemental would’ve succeeded on its saving throw because if the roll equals or exceeds the DC it’s a success. Also, I’m tempted to do Pi’s Nit-Picks for The Prince Division, but I don’t want to overwhelm myself with work and plus, if I did, I’d have to deal with how they rule Chaos Bolt. At least they’ve nearly gotten it right last episode.
If I remember correctly, when Greckles first got the sunblade, Monty said it counted as a shortsword so Greckles could actually use it, though it could've been that it just has the finesse property and is otherwise a longsword.
Pretty sure Greckles has sharpshooter, which allows him to throw at 60ft. Also, Monty has consistently allowed spell scrolls DCs to be determined by the caster who wrote them.
@@mightyphantom4383 I don't recall him ever having the feat, could you confirm how you would know this, from what I understand, the only feats he has is Mobile and Observant.
Well, I don't know why Ed seems so angry, but to be honest, it is so funny to me. I'm just glad that he can let his stress from the day to day out in this healthy way.
Poor Task/Zito has their Hunter's Mark get called out for an extremely common misconception, yet Greckles continuously uses the off-hand attack mechanic wrong without anyone saying anything. You must first make take the attack action before you can do an off-hand attack. so no bonus action off-hand attack then dodge. no casting a spell and then bonus off-hand attack. no doing an off-hand attack first and then an attack. also hi bosco :)
Okay... Once I finish this I will finally be caught up with the Unexpectables. Then I'll be starting to catch back up with The Prince Division. After that I need to get to Gateway, mind the new game Monty is in, and then..... Then I'll need to catch up with Roll With Me. Bosco I need help. I stuck in an endless loop of trying to catch up on all these DnD streams!
I believe in you, for I have made this journey, and now. . . I've caught up and am stuck in the limbo of waiting week by week on soul crushing cliffhangers!!!! Enjoy the grind while it lasts!!!
Such great moments in this episode guys! You all make combat look effortless, even with the curse of low roles. Having gravity must really be nice right now, especially for Borky and Task cause that was some good damage. I'm excited for the next episode! Also Hi Bosco and Connor! (Bosco I heard you role dice i wanna know what the result was)
That was a heck of a combat heavy episode lots of smooshed rock people. I'm glad we got more Bosco, even though I know it takes allot of energy to be on, I really love your performance.
We know what Kozui looks like, and I know we got Kokyu’s shadow, but I imagine our shadow oni looks like FFVII remake’s Ifrit, while Donkotsu looks like a mix of that crab dude from Monsters inc and Shugoki
I will admit, Bosco, I've been worried about you. I know that even if something is that you don't want to talk about it. And that's totally understandable. I don't especially know you, just from the games I've heard you in, but your contributions to those games are valuable and you're a very talented actor and storyteller. So you know you have fans and we're all here if you need us. But I'm glad to hear you're doing good.
Greckles took observant in a campaign where passive perception isn't used? Either Monty hombrewed something for him, or that was some serious dedication to roll play. Observant is definitely a really good feat normally, but in this case... not so much. I mean, it basically cost him a stat point, in order to be able to read lips.
Dear Bosco, Hi, glad to know you're doing good. Bye! Sincerely, Vicious Army of Teddy Bears. P.S: Donkutsu's goal is to slaughter/enslave all of the Earth Genasi right? Man, that sounds like degeneracy's aim.
I'm glad you're ok Bosco you're awesome and I love your characters Seriously I love Remy I would follow that Birb to war I also love hating the hell out of Bryant It takes amazing skill and character development to get 2 opposite reactions from the same player.....thank you for what you do and have a wonderful week
So I've been looking for the podcast and it appears that google play music isn't a thing anymore. It's only UA-cam music. So where am I to go to get the podcast version? I tried UA-cam music and I didn't find it.
Am I messing up my own build, how does Remmy have 20 ac? My own character has 20 ac but I have plate and a shield, did he get plate and I just miss it or am I messing up my math?
I believe he’s also using the defense fighting style & it’s possible that he might have a ring of defense or something since we’re not privy to Remys loadout like CR
Gajin your support Fallout 76 and the idea of paying for a subscription to a game you already payed full price for access to features that should have already been in the game is part of the problem with video games these day. Stop supporting greedy, predatory practices in video games.
Omg yes im so glad Zito found the duck call again im rewatching all the episodes and I missed it lol

The amount of quips Taka fires off as Borky... The man is an improvisational genius
Zitos duck call is back.. Glorious lmao
I usually don't like Zito, but I am happy he found his duck call. It gives him something to do other than curse.
Quack🐣quack
I assumed Monty had found a way to sneak to Texas and steal it. Happy it's back.

The Off hand thing is a homebrew rule. Monty has said so more then once.
That's why no one is commenting on it.
Thank you for your response :)
