    I've become a fast fan of Ellinor. I love how her jokes come out of nowhere and are always critical hits. I'd love to have her at my gaming table.

      Lost Mountain is excellent! She also was on Androids and Aliens, the long-running show by Glass Cannon Network playing Starfinder. That's where I first found her and she's excellent in it!

    Ellinor's passion and skill makes her the perfect teacher and I'm always excited to see a new video from Free League with her in it.

    brilliant! I really enjoy Dragonbane, have finally read through everything on it, the rules, the bestiary, have poured over the map, and I think (for me) the biggest appeal is it's focus on roleplaying and not so much on crunchy dice rolls. Plus these videos here are super entertaining :)

    Ellinor explains things better than I do to my players! More Ellinor please!
    How about Journeys next? And maybe some similar Vaesen vids as well?

    Hi! Thanks for the videos! I think I got it right but my guess is “Magic” could be a good candidate for the next one.

    Great stuff! But did Karl make two Razor Sharp Bites in a row? Not sure he should do that. Bad Manticore!

  • @jeanbaptisteballie
    @jeanbaptisteballie 2 місяці тому +7

    On the 1st round the manticore has an initiative card of 5 and the mallard a card of 6 so why did he act first ?

    • @EllinorDilorenzo
      @EllinorDilorenzo 2 місяці тому +3

      Good catch, those two cards should have been swapped.

    Why did't the manticore use one of its actions to dodge...While I'm at it, why do monsters get a blanket Evade skill level of 15? Should a blundering giant also be so nimble on its feet.

    IS Dragonbane "Deadly" though. Looking at the Quick-start, is seems to have the exact same Death Save Mechanic as D$D 5e ( along with a lot of other 5e mechanics ). That Death Save Mechanic is the biggest reason 5e characters are so hard to kill. Really, that's how D$D 5e hides the truth that it's a Narrative Focused RPG.

    • @stepansraka3608

      Death save mechanic is a relatively minor factor in making characters hard to kill. Ever increasing hp pool, trivial healing and lack of lasting injuries are main reasons of low death ratio in 5e.
      While healing is relatively easy in Dragonbane, hitpoints are almost static, equal to characters CON. Which puts you in potential one-shot range against most monsters and beefier humanoids. Add to that the fact that monsters attacks autohit. and you need to spend your only action for the turn if you want to parry/dodge - and you'll see that party wipe is ever present danger in Dragonbane.
