Lizardfolk bard? Man that’s out there! Did he live in a city?

Nah, he was a wanderer. His backstory was that he was an outcast in his youth due to his greater intelligence and uncommon interests in the culture of the tribe's prisoners. After too much neglect and abuse by the tribe, he left the swamp and matured on the fringes of civilization, learning some shred of emotion but mostly keeping his reptilian instincts.

That’s interesting. I like how you forged the abuse as a, detriment to your own survival. I find lizardfolk particularly interesting in how they interact with their own. Using that negativity in a creative way to hinder your survival to push you away from the tribe dose two things. First it shows how different your character is from the tribe being able to interpret the abuse for what it is. The second thing is that it shows strength of self to go it alone and feel that is a better way for you to survive. Like a better land for you to grow. I like it. I usually see lizard folk differently, it’s always so cool for me to see them in the perspective of others.

I get it, I do, it’s kinda like a support subclass, but with nothing to do once you burn your bardic inspiration. The level 14th ability is also used by the eldritch knight by its way cooler on the fighter.

Oh? What changes did you make to it?

Yes!!!! He is a living inspiration

Get that flight and it works, maybe some DRACONIC sorcerer action?!

That’s my two favorite subclasses for a thri kreen. I think the psionics make a lot of sense for them! Here I am juggling either or and your killing it with both!!

The hunter is strong. I almost made a ranger beast master ! Buuut I changed my mind

Oh yeah they compliment the rogue very well. I can see where your mind is though. I personally wish they had a toxic bite, but I kinda wish everyone has a toxic bite.

Oh yeah! You a big spell hammer fan or specifically the creepy crawly, awesome thri kreen fan?

@@TheSinisterheroes just a fan of creepy crawlies. I also just like weird things that add role playing opportunities. In my old age (50) I'm moving from full on murder hobo to really enjoying the roleplay.

Yeah brother welcome to the role play part of the game !!!!!

I think anything really unusual works really well. The psionic classes pair well lore wise. Being able to create with magic as a creation bard I think that works too. It’s unusual and strange and that coincides will with them. I mean if an alien bug creature turned something like a chair into a living entity it would make more sense to me than if Jeff the guitarist did.

That’s a great introduction. It has this very visual feel to it. I’d love to see how this leap to freedom pans out.

@TheSinisterheroes 🤣 actually had to stop myself on self dming the backstory. But yeah, it's my style of immersion. I have notebooks filled with details of characters I played as well as the journey partaken. Been playing dnd for 15 years and so far I've only had 6 characters that stood the test of time. Other characters didn't exactly survive the one shots

16 years !!!! Amazing ! Thats awesome! I started at 3.5

It’s a fun class with a lot of flavor to it so I like it personally.

I had no idea about the racist implications. I found out that apparently goblins was a racist dig at the Jewish people.

@@TheSinisterheroes I think that one has been around for a very long time, but it’s not well known. I keep that kind of BS at arms length. I don’t want real life garbage in my games.

You’re probably right, I feel like the bard is just overlooked a lot.

Your right. It is my opinion and that does come with its own drawbacks. What’s your honest opinion? Are you for, against, or middle of the road?

I don’t think I have ever come across a cage fighter in D&D. Like you need to have a climbing speed to make it work I feel like

They gave you the Tasha’s rules for the species which was a huge improvement. But they should of learned from those mistakes and not replicated them is my point really

I didn’t know that that’s cool! I am glad they moved it to wizard of the scribes cus I think that’s an awesome subclass

A curse!!! And you use your intellect to modify it

@@TheSinisterheroes he's pretty much a mercenary not for gold but looking for a monster strong enough to break him out of this suit

I’m am so down with the battle rager! And with the infusions I think you can make the armor magical. Covers all the bases.

Thank you!

Oh it feels that way sometimes! Artificers can get super strong super fast

Oh really? That sounds awesome. What are you stealing?

@@TheSinisterheroes The overall goal is to help our elf friend steal a powerful item that can bring his wife back from the dead who perished several hundred year prior. It will take several small to medium jobs to get ready for the big job ahead.

Your welcome! Are you going to be playing one?

That’s a nice setting. It’s high magic and could have a lot of political intrigue. I really enjoy the hexblood. I am playing one currently

I’m often finding people like lizard folk as clerics. Which I think is pretty out of the box for them, but it dose work really well

Spells like fear and charm are devastating to players. Having those in play can ruin your players. For big bads they are definitely worth it!

“You seem down for a sickness” I Love that. As a disturbed fan I am with it. I like the direction you’re going with. You have this great way of embodying this liquid essence into your character, From the actions they take. I don’t envy you needing to pick the right name for them, that’s always my hardest part. I’d love to see how you develop the dracolich’s influnce on the character. I think you have a great handle on them. The only suggestion I really have, is be patient with your own character. Not being a charisma based class,and being a wisdom based one, dose put your roleplaying on a slower tempo.

I agree on the slow pace, since he is for right now unsure of his very purpose, his only exposure to the world is from learning indirectly from a druid that has made it a practice to conjure. As for the influence of Daurgathoth... now that's where his true struggle of self comes to play, and talking with our dm on this as well, we're thinking that since my character is a indirect result of < bone melt > should he be less than 20% hp, my guy will be allowed to use one spell from the creeping doom itself but the cost will be to have need for a whole days rest instead of full rest for how truly dangerous dargathoths magics are, could even result to mental instability should it become constant since a dracolich wouldn't have to worry about these drawbacks cause it's technically dead. How it would likely happen, he shapes to his humanoid form, his membranes become yellow while his watery body becomes oil, screaming in dragon language that's displayed In a painful aura of topaz as it happens. Not trying to make it a op system, but to serve for our dm to use my guy as like a magical conduit to act as Daurgathoth to show true terror in display for PCs as well the npc around us. Thoughts, questions, or ideas are welcome

You just have to be careful with how and when you use those dracolich ability. If you over use it, it never stays as cool and becomes mundane. Definitely want to make sure you don’t use it often. The draw backs are cool I like that. Being mindful of power difference between you and the party is key here. I find it my eternal struggle to be quiet during rp scenarios, and not jump in and spotlight steal. So I would have trouble on those days where you would be incapacitated. If your like me then just be prepared for that. I think you guys have a good working communication on this. The only thing is don’t abuse it because the burden of a party member being out a day, or the constant dracolich power can get tedious. Thankfully you have measures that result in in game consequences for frequent uses. I think that’s key. You guys seem to have it wrapped up really nicely.

Sigh... had to scrap it😢 anyhow I subbed and looking forward to more videos

@@dannyleo5787 what happened?

I wish I could do that Louisiana accent. I tried it dose not go over well 🤣😂🤣 I find that the characters you have the most fun with are so memorable and really make a story just perfect.

Yeah that’s definitely a first for me, I have never considered a javelin for the weapon of choice rogue, I would love to see that concept in its full form I think it’s wild.

I know I think it’s super random.

It dose a lot to change the perspective of the death domain cleric. It then becomes more ranged based, which can lead to a very different and unique character.

They are so cool!!! I just seriously have a soft spot for these little menace’s I hate all the small species except these and goblins.

Yes!!!!!

Furious George

Walking with shield on your feet! I can dig it! I really gotta say they are so much cooler than I have given them credit for on first pass

Technically speaking as long as the object itself doesn't have a complex function and is simple in design I don't see any reason why it's not possible

@@douglaspope-gz1eq you are right. Considering the fantasy setting most things you encounter would have simpler uses, which would support that idea

Thank you !!! One day you have to let me know how to return all the support you have given me. You are much appreciated

I literally laughed at that 🤣😂🤣 it’s been a day

Yeah that opening turn is deadly with that combination. It also is soooo edgy I love it!

This subclass gains benefits in social situations, but the power of the wizard comes from its spells. The combat effectiveness and the utility all comes from your spell selection, very few subclasses give you a flat bonus to damage. It mostly comes from how you use your spells. Long story short your benefits with this subclass though not always combat oriented, will not slow your other aspects of the game.

Interesting choice mixing in fighter. What type of fighter were you? What happened after level 6 that made you feel like the summons fell off? Was it there damage per round? Were they getting killed off too quickly?

@@TheSinisterheroes I looked ahead to new summon spells it would get and was underwhelmed. At level 5 you can call a Cave Bear, which from what I could see stayed the most powerful option until the fire elemental at level 9, and the upgrade wasn't significant enough to justify all the meh levels. So I took defensive fighter, took a feat, picked up a shield, got heavy plate made from umberhulk carapace, and became an AC 21 Caster/Tank. Still used the Cave Bear til level 15, when the campaign ended.

What was your fighter subclass? Thats cool you got to make plate from the umbra hulk

@@TheSinisterheroes I didn't need any more tricks so I just went Champion for the improved critical, synergizing with the half-orc's Savage Attacks.

@@deathpunchdingo2981 that’s a pretty smart move get that increased crit range and some heavy tank benefits while not having to juggle way to much stuff at once. I like the champion. It just isn’t for everyone.

I saw treantmonk doing a build for the shepherd Druid and it’s STRONG!!!! I really like treantmonk. I think his insights are very well thought out. His spell knowledge, and way to think out of the box is amazing.

I would love to be a yuan ti shepherd Druid and just summon snakes !!! It would be amazing !!! Also all my wild shapes would be for snakes!!

Seriously it gets soooo bad 🤣😂🤣

What an adventure. That was a good read. I enjoyed that. I can always tell when a character is a favorite based on how people write about them. It’s a great character!!!

@@TheSinisterheroes since that campaign, I had many memorable characters yet when it came to Grija, he rarely speaks of himself to the group unless the moment comes for him to truly be heard. He also said to the group leader about buying horses and cusses at him saying. “ keep coins… I pull wagon. “ getting his exercise by being the stead while pulling his own wagon full of people and supplies throughout the entire campaign. The duregaur was his hype man while our more magical compatriots were just looking at him like damn. His fight with the hill giant really humbled grija throughout this journey to a point that when the rematch came and white furry overcame him, the duregaur got in his heavy mech armor for a two for one mean deal punch to break not only the giants nose, but sent teeth flying out as well, duregaur told the rest of the group to find the general while we took the giant. By the time we came into the battle I thrown the armorer right at him with a +5 to my 18 roll, basically making him a cannonball while I hit the sides with a mean tackle with a extra attack using the fat giants skull for it. If I were to say how is doing currently, he’s still being a fisherman, but he’s also past his prime as a warrior now, barely able to use his anchor or do the things he did. But he’s just at peace finally, looking forward to his friends visits and more so hear what the stable bulls gotta say to get a hearty laugh

@@dannyleo5787 the ending is fitting. The throwing your hype man is legendary!!! I might steal that! I like how the character always knew his strengths and where they belonged. How to support the team. Pulling the cart and not letting his opportunities to be valuable go to waste. There’s a lot to rally behind with a character like that.

@@TheSinisterheroes your more than welcome to use hmm as a npc mentor for your campaigns 😇 just remember to not mention horses around the guy or he will drive the party through very dangerous valleys like a out of control roller coaster 🎢 lmfao
