I’m glad the only time I ran a game with multiple NPCs most of them were monsters just trying to get a decent reputation with humans… the only time they asked if a character was hot when they were looking at a painting of the vampires manservant (who was now a soul trapped in a clockwork body). “Well he was when he was a mortal human.”
7:07 as an artist (pencil and paper at least, digital and me don’t get along, it’s digital’s fault I swear) I entirely agree with this. Though to be fair! I also draw the party having a silly dance party. (Curse you poses!!!)
"spare the dying costs an action, why would i waste it on you?" me, a harengon grave domain cleric 11, div wizard 2, battle master fighter 4, gloomstalker ranger 3: theyre already dead, i dont need to heal you
6:50 My friend had a DM who was filling in for another DM, and when my friends said “hey it’s been a while since we had combat, do you think we could have a combat encounter?” and the DM responded by having an immortal guy in a loincloth appear out of no where to attack that PC. This same DM also had a God show up at a normal bar fight for my character. For like no reason. It’s not like I even derailed anything, we were invited to a bar fight ring. I fucking hate that guy, Orchid didn’t deserve that bullshit
04:34 not wanting to be the designated healer is valid but everyone who can should absolutely learn at least one healing spell. One spell can be the difference between victory and a tpk
1:20 I tried that once... they polymorohed it into a hamster, put it in a little jar, and gave it to their local magic man. (They did not specify it was not really a hamster)
@@hollypen it's a level 6 homebrew transmutation spell where you point a finger at a creature that has a mouth. The targets tongue will multiply and overfill said target's mouth. On its turn, the target must make a strength saving throw and will be rendered muted on a failed save. It's handy for when the wizard wants to make an annoying creature stfu without having to attack
My first character was a Dragonborn Fighter/Death Cleric. Only 'healing' spells he prepared? Healing Word and Revivify. His job was to get his allies walking away from a fight under their own power. Anything beyond that? You got money, get potions.
OK: So as a DM who has actually encountered this situations: 1) You can have sex with a gargoyle, you need to have some way of negating the damage their talons do though. 2) You can have sex with Bahamut, most of the time it is going to be one of those metaphysical things tho. 3) You cannot have sex with a swirling ball of light; but you can find various was to interact, some of them will be pleasurable. most will not. Oh and no one cares about your lore, it's sad but just accept it.
One thing I like about tiktok actually, having never installed or used it myself, is that it sources the video right on the damn video and that makes it so much easier to find good creators since most of them use other platforms too. fuck installin` that crap. Thanks other people for sifting through the garbage.
The first time I played dnd I made kind of a joke character. In the setting, we were all orphans, who had some last name meaning three, and we were called woodkids. So I wanted to make the Lorax. I made a halfling and named him Laurence. Laurence was killed by rats in the first session when we went looking for a hideout. That’s how Fort Laurence got its name and burial hill
Regarding Mr. Cheese v. the king of Seahaven. The issue here for me is not who I would rather see die, but who I would rather see return triumphantly from beyond the grave.
For all the lore DMs out there, my character Solomon would be your best choice for finding your lore... iv stumped DMs just by ask what the current castle lineage is and how old, was it a hero or is it someone who stepped up, that campaign ended cuz there wasn't enough lore for Solomon
Honestly, I don't see the issue with having a more limited or homebrewed list of races to pick from. Sometimes an official race just doesn't fit into a DM's world, and this is fine. I also don't see an inherent issue with some form of multiclass restrictions. But eh
Dude, the second one is literally me. I made a character with too much ambition. His backstory had him literally tied to the Frostmaiden, Auril, in the Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. Had our boss fight with her this evening. I am a blood hunter whose primary weapon is a sword... and in her final aura form she has an aura that damages anything within 5 feet of her. So I have a character whose goal was to kill Auril... only to not do much of anything and then have party members kill her while I was on the other side of a wall... this also happens to be a character who was with a previous party, so while the other party members have been at this for about a year, my character has been working at this goal for almost 2 years... so an irl 2 year goal met while I was basically in a different room, not witness to her defeat. I feel bad for being so discouraged, because everyone else was really hyped at the end, and I was sorta down.
those two kobolds are joining the party as mascots and we are paying their way through bard college
Well I heard Grung Bard and was horrified thinking he was playing the Crazy Frog… now I kind of want to play a Crazy Frog style grung bard.
do it

One of the players in my campaign has a grung paladin named Kermit. And yes, he plays the banjo.

So can two healing spells, or 3, 4,5 etc

to defeat a lot of these "I CAST" meme spells all you need is underwear of magic reflect...
"I cast sword"

TONGUE TREE
@@Summoner4.0 what does that do????

8:35 Mr. Cheese is just Pete Davidson
"Tiamat does not thin so!"
Best line 5:30
?
WHERE IS THIS FROM? I NEED IT!
0:57 “why doesn’t anyone care about my lore?!“
because you don’t have a lore monkey like me at your table.
Tiamat is AWESOME!!!
1:13 They didn’t have to sing. I would spare Jack Black any day

idea:
what if it's part of the lore? 🤨
i care about the lore... i love lore, i NEED lore... pls, give me your lore
Lmao the Lord Farquad meme about unbalanced homebrew monsters/scenarios with low level parties hits home with my style of dming at times lol
9:40 stixwixy and the Saruman and Gandalf showdown 😅

it is at 5:24 that I, as the GM cue up the second half of "friends on the other side" and ask him:
"ARE YOU READY?"
7:32 Kermit, called it
"Are you playing Kermit the Frog?"
And right there I have heard something I never thought to hear and yet now I wanna see it happen in a D&D game.
