Great combat vid, thanks 🙏

I’m playing my first D&D campaign and I’m playing a halfling! So I’m here for this! I’ve been calling myself a hobbit for over two decades, so let’s see if I’ve been accurate.

I'm a year late to this but I do feel the need to say that this isn't a new 5e and beyond phenomenon. I've been recreating all of the old races for personal use in my 5e games and what I've found is that once you go deep enough into the rabbit hole you start uncovering things from way back like the Voadkyn, who, in 2e, only existed to be friends with wood elves and shoot arrows good. In 3.5e there's a lot of really interesting concepts like the Slyth, Xeph, and Neraphim but they all just kind of sit in their own corner of the world with no reason to interact with the other races than chance meetings. Then in 4e you have weird things like the Dragonborn having their Mewtwo Strikes Back story beats stripped from them to just have them be generic dragon people. Also the inclusion of the Mul who, despite having amazing potential for worldbuilding and character hooks, were given the personality of a sand bags and when they were freed form their bad situation they all basically just collectively decided to stand around and kick dirt. It's kind of sad and makes me think that the "you all meet in a tavern" trope might be a symptom of something much bigger because the playables aren't even given a reason to go outside most of the time.

In regards to baldurs gate 3, what does anyone think of a dark urge tiefling fiend warlock? Would it work with the lore?

I like the moustache. But not the beard. I am transfixed by it.

I once had a DM that had a rule against anyone being a half orc because he firmly believed that people would either be racist and afraid or racist and aggressive against you everywhere you go and he didnt want to RP that. I argued he could just make people not racist and he said it wouldn't feel like a real world and i didn't push cause i usually pick halfling anyway.

thank you so helpful, me and my brother showed our cousin dnd over the summer during quarantine and he is an author and decided to turn his writings world into multiple different dnd campaigns. Eventually dnd influenced his world in such a way that elves exist now and I'm the first one to be able to roleplay one in his world so basically anything i say is canon for his worlds elves and this video let me know some ways i can play them from the other races.

I'm gonna be playing a halfling in a campaign soon, so it's good to know this information.

First time DnD player here. I’m playing a half-orc cleric that was orphaned and then raised by the Church of Ilmater. So now, he has an internal turmoil between following the ways of Ilmater (helping the oppressed) or Gruumsh.

I would also love to see your take on Duergars :) great video, thank you!

I mainly just read dnd lore, but maybe Ardlings should have been humans transformed into hybrids due to a cult or mad scientist, or maybe you did it to yourself & you gotta wrestle with this new form. But I agree they should use unique races more, I rather be a strange spider creature with multiple legs or a centaur who has to navigate human cities because it’s different.

This was a great information piece on Dwarfs.

I'm glad this video was actually informative instead of just telling you to voice all of your dwarves with a bad Scottish accent

We can also ad side quests to unlock new and better Armour and weapons like in ac valhalla to get the legendary sword Excalibur you need to find the treasures of Britain enthen place them in these slots in the stones surrounding the sword this will make it possible to pull the sword from the stone and the best part is none of that has anything to do with the main story and it's an overpowered weapon another thing you can ad is parkour to

The problem with DnD is little tin-gods constant attempts to cripple good out of the box builds. Very few DMs are not obsessed with forcing everyone to play cookie-cutter builds. All for the sake of complete and utter control.

years after this video release and its still helping new Dms/ players get comfortable with Battle. My questions are, as a Dm, if a blow is to almost kill a PC who is new to the game could you modify the amount of damage or just let the dice tell the story?, also, if a weapon or hit says 12 damage (2D6+ X) is that giving the Dm an option to choose between the flat rate damage or the dice roll?

My most recent elf is an eldritch horror playing pretend. :D

Terrific video ! About the dwarfs I have 5 things that could shift some perspectives: Dwarfs are a dying race only on his own race - the fact is theirs gene is a strong dominant one, so its rarer and rarer to born a pure dwarf due the fact the gene is struggling itself, but if its added on another race (with few exceptions) its always be a Dwarf with some other racial characteristics like a Dwarf Half human or a Dwarf Half Giant (yes, its possible). The problem is they somewhat abhor changes even if his allmight god approves changes to perceive perfection. Moradin is the most powerful god and here's why: he created and wield the soulhammer and the soulforge and is responsible for reincarnation. He bars some races to reincarnate due respect/enemity of other gods tenets like the ELVES and orcs. Reincarnation offers a new perspective and a new story for the races itself as its allow the human to be reincarnated as a giant for exemple; on elves its not possible to reincarnate on a new race but only as a elf and with the same memories of his previous self and they relive it on his sleeps that is called REVERIE (for DMs and Players: its a race isekai! So you can make a really badass story background and a really sick BBEG Elf that wants to become a lich to break the cycle of the never ending failing glory of the elf race on his current cycle. The most important and prestigious class in a Dwarf society is the Cleric: only dwarven clerics knows about the problem of the race "infertility" and they are responsible to matchmaking and glue the society on a goal to a fact that to be a dwarf king you must have someone of his lineage be a cleric or yourself be ordained. In dwarf society raise a child is a life commitment so powerfull that the reponsible parent or both must forego his passion art and life profession to exclusively raise the child even if you're a cleric! They're commutal and dont perceive money as other races do. As a dwarf always can get more gold and silver from mines they often trade his masterwork arts as the most valuable thing! And it is indeed a masterwork as they trying to put everything on it. So be really happy if you get a gift from a dwarf !

Both Tieflings and Aasimars were playable races in 3.0.

Rock Gnomes seem like natural allies of dwarfs, after all, dwarfs stick to home, the gnomes can go trade, not to mention, work as gemcutters? And they don't even overlap in terms of living area, they're really just neighboring communities.

This was so good, really helpful as I will begin the roleplay of my first elven character this coming Sunday. Thank you!

Ah the Roper! I’m going to DM one in the Tyranny of Dragons. That campaign SPOILER makes its roper intelligent and talking and PCs face it at lvl 3. So PCs are supposed to talk to it and not fight. Hopefully I won’t have to use your tactics. Although it would be interesting for the roper to encounter the PCs at higher level. Although having the roper move to a different is a little problematic. Maybe a portal in the under dark? Anyway thanks for the vid. I like this direction. 👍🏻

What size the minis need tó play hex ?28 or 32 ? Im super beginner

Hey nice video, ropers are a favorite deadly encounter of mine (especially when home brewed with a flying speed). Somewhat off topic, I just made this yt channel and posted about the forge of fury which has a roper encounter but I'm at a loss for how to advertise my channel? Sitting 0 0 views lmao. How did you advertise when just starting out?

7:27 in regards to crafting with weapon parts, whips are typically considered *THE **_WORST_* weapon type in DnD…but a whip made of Roper tendrils that could grapple on a hit and retains the strength drain properties would probably prove rather effective. Either crafted by the party, or perhaps found in the hands of a Drow Slaver.

Once again another great video! Could also bei the start of a great series. I did already hope for my players to engage in a redemption arc for their current BBEG that would lead them into the underdark. Now I hope that even more.

What about proficiency ? lets say my rogue does 1d4. 4 damage has +3 ability modifier thats 7 damage. wont i need to add additional proficiency bonus ?

This was very interesting, and I will consider this when crafting a dwarf for another role playing game. The dwarf philosophy of perfection is definitely something I will use.

My Tiefling warlock was born to normal humans (who actually accepted their child as he was, but his father was quite severe because he did not want his son to become as bad as some people think of Tieflings) and also subject to racism - going so far that a gang of racist thugs tried to hunt him down and kill him. This was the moment when he made his pact - and then fled the town because he killed one of these thugs in self-defense with his new Hellish powers. He is neutral in alignment, but tries to be a hero despite his pact - his part of a bargain is to send evil souls to the Hells for his patron to use, and being an adventurer is a great way to encounter plenty of evil people. My HC is that Tieflings with their fire resistance are enjoying warm climates and heat - imagine how awful Barovia feels to him. He is the one who always sits right beside the fireplace or campfire, needs almost boiling water for his bath etc. We seem to have had the same idea in this regard. But he finally found himself a group of friends who are accepting him (=the party) and probably even the love of his life (our bard), and he is very grateful for that and is in turn very loyal to them.

RWBY had been fun, but I lost interested in Rooster Teeth when they moved off RUclips for the most part. I didn't even knew they did any TTRPG stuff, but I barely watch actual plays and I usually am more interested in other games than D&D.

That's a very interesting story about how you found the hobby, glad we have you here now passing your wisdom down to us!

You can leave a comment on one of their D&D streams 100% they will see it... But yeah I love RT and wish WB would reconsider shutting sdown one of their biggest assets for a tax write off... But yeah it's too late for that things are in motion... How ever to be honest I didn't watch the RWBY D&D show because I feel they should have used one of the few OG RWBY TTRPG made by fans instead... Oh well and I'm glad this channel came out of it... But yeah I would not be a writer,artest,musicain and game dev with out RT as I too would love to have a studio similar to theirs just better... Anyway thanks for this video.

Love your content. Did you make the feats awarded to players video you talked about?

But one question is how would I use oxygen in this subnautica campaign?

Great interview! I just think that I'm dying sooner than expected ahahah Long live decay!

*Sees Seibah poster* You should do a Paladin video. Also great vid on evles. <3

I think Pathfinder explained gnomes' curiosity really well with the bleaching. Gnomes are originally from the feywilds and have brightly coloured hair, but when they get stuck in a rut and stop exploring and adventuring, they slowly lose their colour and then die. So the inquisitive nature is born out of desperation in a sense.

Thank you for this video, i love orcs and i agree with everything you said about the ancestry. i'm bingeing your vids rn. Cheers from Brazil!

My tiefling bard character was based on the following writing prompt: [A woman makes a deal with a demon to have his child in exchange for immortality, then sells her firstborn to a witch for unimaginable riches. After the birth, the mother leaves the child with the witch (druid) for her and demon to fight over. You, a half-demon, have grown up under shared custody.] Only difference is, her father and adopted mother have a FANTASTIC relationship as they raise this girl and she's loved deeply by them, even if society isn't a big fan. She just knows she can't change everyone's minds and tries to build her own status as a talented musician and not let the stereotypes of her ancestry or her class get the better of her. So far, she's been doing very well and I've had a lot of fun developing her character more.

Currently writing up a teifling wizard who has two human parents who are part of a devil worshipping cult so obviously infernal runs in the mix somewhere. She thinks they're fools and meets a benevolent witch who lives gardening and cooking and is loved by the locals. She leads by example and the teifling is inspired ✨️

Frieren is an awesome exemplar of Elfhood. Centuries of makes her apathetic about the day to day.

Very helpful - thank you! Question: if a spell caster is attacking with a spell/cantriip that must “hit” an opponent’s armor class, does the spell caster get their proficiency bonus added?

Sounds like throwing the baby out with the bath water. A slight difference visually than full orks would make so much more sense in addressing your points. Much like minorities in America. If you are half of two races, you are more likely to suffer prejudice from both of your races. There are amazing role playing opportunities there.

I just found you and these videos are so helpful, if you wouldn’t mind sharing your insight I would like know how to better characterize a playable goblin

Amazing content my friend!

Not everyone is a reality bending, one man army. Good orcs are the exception to the rule. Would you risk your family's safety because the the concept of a good orc is technically possible even though no one you have ever met had even heard of one?

So what if a Half-Orc goes searching for his identity as a Half-Orc? What do you say to that? "Just be an Orc"? I like to play the Half-Orc Monk. So what's the alternative? I don't want to play a dumb monk. I'd like my monk to have some intelligence. Half-Orcs are my favorite race. As you can tell. I'm biracial irl. And telling me biracial people of any kind shouldn't exist is lacking in taste in my not so humble opinion.
