This is maybe the most useful video on this topic!!! Thank you for actually using concrete advice about how to mechanically build the NPC, everything is explained super clearly!! Thanks <3

I dont know wher eoyu got those abl, and level progressions from! but the card finalized looked! amazing cool, solid idea. I def. going to use this! I wonder if its also works for animals. fairy's and awakened plants. or items. this way, i can gift my players soemthign they seen in shows. and looking forward too

I was struggling with creating some hireable NPCs for my lv 20 party. I found multiple videos, but all talked about the personality of the NPCs, despite the fact that I specifically asked for stat block help. Your video was the first I came across that helped for building NPC stat blocks, and it really helped me out! Thank you so much!

this is a great formula! I really wanna add companion NPC crewmates for the spelljammer game I'm planning, but I've been grappling with making sure they won't be DMPCs lol. I'll definitely give this method a shot :-)

I'd like to try

I absolutely love this! I've been running a 1 on 1 campaign with my best friend due to scheduling conflicts. 🙄 I'm trying to bring the rest of the party in but it is slow going... You videos make it a lot easier to navigate some of the crunchier terrain of planning and this is going to go a long way to making a cast of fun NPCs that can work as temporary traveling companions. ♡

I love the idea of making an npc stat block that is both character driven so it *feels* like they're their own person, but also simple enough for a player to run while in combat. It adds to the investment because players now get to play their npc friend for a little bit, and it takes the pressure off you! The freedom for players to connect in a way you want with the npcs you give them or the world in general, without making too much extra work for yourself. 30 minutes of building that can be done over breakfast.

No I feel this, or they want to adopt the baby wyrmlings, and get sad when the wyrmlings steal their food and run away

Nice system! How do you think it could be extended to support more monstrous pets and companions? You know, parties making pets out of owlbears and bulettes, that kind of thing.

I really like this idea although my only problem is really the point system. Idk I feel like to many things in DnD use that already and it'd be cool to see them more as scaling abilities you unlock as you levelup that you can only use X times per short rest or something like that. Besides that tho, which is really a nitpick if I'm being honest,, love this idea!

Mmm. A focus on status effects. That is an interesting niche to fill. Spells can sometimes apply status effects, but it almost always is tied to concentration. I'm curious to see how playtesting will go.

Ooh my fix isn’t too far off, though instead of “Ranger Points” from PB (since PB features make the dip really busted), I found an elegant way to do this was basically “Primal Smites”. A Ranger can spend a Spell Slot to increase damage and debuff a foe. This can also be done for free once per Short Rest. This scales resource management and power scaling by itself easily. This might even buff melee Rangers, since they would be able to use this effect on an Opportunity Attack. Melee rangers can be like trapper sentinels or primal novas while ranged will be like apex debuff snipers.

I like where you're headed here. I'd play it! Funny enough, I'm also eager to see more of the One D&D ranger after playtests. It's the one class where I really like the changes. Idk - I'm still looking for my perfect ranger, but yours at least sounds like damn hero, instead of an underwhelming PC. Good take!
