Hey Cody, what's your take on the cantrip Mind Sliver? I've used it previously and I like it because of the fact that it targets an Intelligence saving throw, probably the easiest saving throw to target!! Also, the added debuff of subtracting 1d4 from the next saving throw that the target has to make!!
age
I'm quite new to DnD and I've noticed I can be a metagamer because of how my brain works. What can I do to get out of this when playing before it becomes a bad habit?
D&D video MtG thumbnail [Readable confusion]
Oh he did not. Bo o o wo ah
Put the glue on a outhouse seat
Played with type 8 for over a year only because the rest of the group was cool and the campaign was awesome, the sad thing is the DM saw that his behavior was bothering people but never punished him in any way. I'm never playing with that dude again, especially that he completely ignored when I told him to stop behaving like that because he's taking the enjoyment out of the game for the rest of us.
mate you sound normal
I think I'm trying to play a "supportive character" in my games, and one of the ways I like to do it is like this: I generally play naïve characters who are relatively new to adventuring, and I RP that they are just so impressed with their new friends, sometimes to the point they will say "If there's trouble, we'll kill them!" Because she trusts that the party is powerful enough to do so. Particularly in one campaign I'm in, which is all women, sometimes we spend so much time trying to avoid conflict, we forget that we have always WON every combat! The DM wants us to do those fights, they are story points, we get important info and treasure after most combats, we have to do them, not avoid them! So tell your other players that you have faith in them, that you feel they will keep you safe, that you believe that your party won't fail! Help them feel like the heroes they are!
My wizard in a 3 year campaign would, without fail, introduce himself with full name, university and subject of his studies and let me tell you, catchphrases like that really stick in the mind of everyone even after years :))
Really brilliant video! I am sold. Quick question, when you share the book with players, is there a way to make it Read Only so they can't change or add anything?
Oath of Glory gets way too much hate in my opinion. It's versatile, flavorful, and Peerles Athlete can be REALLY good if you know how to use it. Maybe I'm just Theros Pilled but the idea of jumping 30 feet into the air, grabbing a flying enemy and pile driving them back into the dirt sounds hilarious to me.
ive played in a few campaigns where the party has several healers: rangers artificers clerics paladins and it works out well, especially with healing word or healing spirit. Ive found that a dedicated healer isnt really necessary when multiple people have that capability
This is great, but I am struggling deciding a voice. My character needs a non-breathy, fast paced voice. Stemming from a high tech race. But I'm unsure how to accomplish that or what kind of examples there are out there to get an idea.
i feel like i could make a good plot hook going down the line out of a player hiding an item from the party. id turn it into a calling card for the enemy faction that the bosses carry or something
thanks for telling me exaclty how to break my DMS campaign all in on vid
Heres a better idea dont do an accent, or dont feel pressured to do one. Get the roleplaying aspect down first.
So hexblade is the best and all the others are f tier. Ten second video
Some interesting ways bandits can have added complexity can be found in how they are used. For example a member of a bandit gang can offer his or her services as a local guide and take the party into an ambush. Another possibility is the bandits can lure the players into a prepared kill zone with deadly traps and well-concealed ambush positions. Bandits might also be very interested in kidnapping players who can pay ransom.
Tiberius stormwind was all of these wrapped into one.
I'm actually working on making giants utilize their size over smaller creatures in a series on my channel called Creatures but better! i have the download links for their stat cards if anyones interested in the descriptions of my video's! I totally agree with Taking20's opinion about the 2014 stat blocks being terrible at representing the giants being "GIANT" they more so feel like warriors with big hit point pool. very boring.
“Like your dad when your mom gets a little drunk“ literally almost killed me. My drink went down the wrong way and I fell over laugh/coughing. Thanks for that.😅
- You see a mysterious figure sitting alone in the tavern. What do you do? - I cast a fireball.
I swear people who want to remove hp points think you die if someone hits you with a fish.
Do: Ban it. Don't: Allow it.
For Metagamers, I just likr to remind them, also as a player myself. E.g. "Remember: Your character doesn't know that.". That should work most of the time.
I've just started running a witchlight campaign. one of my players couldn't make it to the first session, so i claimed she went to the carnival as a weekend trip and ran the rest of the party through meeting the warlock wanting them to visit the carnival. He said it would take them three days to get there and it did. however on the next session when they arrived at the carnival i told the previously missing player that she'd only parted ways with the group eight hours prior. that was fun.
woah.... I know kung fu.........
But you gotta be a halfling to get halfling luck
I think you're missing the point about people saying it's career suicide. It's less to do with how the person is depicted. But more so that's its just a financially poor decision. The fact that your entire video was demonetized by talking about its themes I think just further cements that belief.
I wana work as much as possible with my DM about my characters in therms of power, to make sure they do not get too scuffed, but focus on creative roleplaying to make the character immersive for both me, the DM and other characters. Always remaining open for feedback and ideas, and if the DM wishes, they can decide to give my character boons or griefs and I'll accept both well, even death to my character as I am working on having a pool of new interesting characters that I can take use for when able.
Massive damage insta-kills the girl if you want to still play "by the rules".
as a DM i love players that have interesting back stories for their characters. as a player i enjoy players that know what their character does
The guys who invented attunement fall into the first camp
1. Know what kind of self-healing abilities your party members have. Let them use some of them, before you start using your healing spells. But it's always great if they can emergency heal themselfs if you are too far away or something. Takes the pressure of a bit. 2. Also, remember that your spell slots are precious, but don't be too precious with them. It's better to use them suboptimally, than to not use them at all. 3. I play support-healer almost always, that's just the vibe I'm going for my character. I like to have a bunch of different healing options. Look into magic items that can give you some more healing other than your spells. 4. If you're proficient with the herbalism kit, gather resources if you can, and make healing potions. Much, much cheaper that way, and you can also keep replacing the used ones if you're away from civilisation. 5. Mind the range of the spells. It's obvious, but I always forget 6. Get some good movement options if you can. It's easier to get into a good position if you can freely move. Teleportation and flying are my go tos. 7. Stay alive. Keep an eye on your hp. Tell the party if you're in danger, because if you're in danger everyone will follow. Communicate (it can be done without metagaming). I'm not that experienced, but these things helped me a lot. The most important thing is still to enjoy the game. Have fun healing!
You should have just gone fighter 1 to start. you get con saves. better hit dice. and you dont have to waste a feat on Resilient. Thats a terrible 1st level feat when you can get the same effect from a 1 level dip in fighter from the start. not to mention proficiency in martial weapons from the start so you dont have to wait until bard 3. This build doesnt scream efficient.
Lol look at this joker
All great advice. At the end of The Two Towers movie when Legolas put aside his prejudice and opened his own Taco Shop I was in tears. Nice refrence! ;)
Hope you are well, miss your videos
Dream spell, glibness, distort value, and Speedy courier seem overpowered but most of these would be great at my table🎉
My only quibble is that the monsters you chose only have 1 hit point, so even if you assumed the idea of double HP damage being a kill, then are they really taking 360hp of damage or just 2hp?
12:30 Skullclamp was absud
A bag of flour sitting on the ground won't explode if you hit it with a fire arrow. Flour has to be dispersed in the air before it explosively combusts, so you need to either create a cloud of flour particles in the air or disperse it with another explosion (like the rocket in the linked video). I suppose if you hit a bag of flour with a fireball you could cause it to explode.
I don't particularly agree with the Identify spell and always use the alternate rules for more difficult Identification from page 136 of the Dungeon Master's Guide
Cape of enlargement
My problem with every you said is that it all applies to 5E.
uses for rope: - tie people - tie people - tie people Yes
Phantom Steed is a ritual that gives you a movement speed of 100'
I feel like people who complain about Powergamers and "I read the Rules book" need to show what they mean. I shouldnt have to beg and grovel for knowinf how to play my class. Unless it just cheese plays, screw cheese.
