I am curious as to how you might modify this build given the updates to Warlocks in the 2024 PHB (assuming that old content that has yet to be updated remains unaltered).
Important thing to be said: if you're lucky enough to lay your hands on a magic armor - use it for your guardian armor. There is no requirement to it to be a mundane armor.
One option to improve this build even further is to use Arcane Propulsion Armor infusion at level 14. There are debates if this is stackable with your special armor since rules are a bit unclear, so you have to discuss it with your DM. But most agrees that you can do it and gain the following advantages: + 5ft of movement + your gauntlets are now melee/ranged + extra dice of force damage on top of thunder damage (however this is the most debatable part so it might be resolved as force damage on range attack, thunder damage on melee)
If you stop concentrating on the spell before it reaches its full duration, an uncontrolled demon doesn’t disappear for 1d6 rounds if it still has hit points.
What about the help action?
Great analysis!
At level 9 a fighter receives Indomitable - at level 9 a wizard receives Wall of Force...Need I say more?
This was a VERY useful video, thank you!
Oh how I wish to see Bilbron go over the new 2024 D&D material. Probably my favorite channel for true insight.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but doesn't the find familiar disappear when you become unconscious?
No, it lasts until dispelled
@@Bilbrons-and-Dragons oh yeah I actually looked it up and I was surprised. You're right, we've been playing it almost like a concentration spell lol
I'm currently in a party that will soon transition into Tier 3 play. I have already indicated to the party that I am going to include the Darkness + Devil Sight combo as part of my strategy. I have had positive feedback so far...I will coordinate with interested players... If others would rather stand out in the open (bait) as the ancient wyrm chooses its next target/s, who am I to impinge on their rights? We all get to make choices and we all get to deal with the associated consequences.
A thought provoking, very helpful video! Thank you!
Mathematically speaking, a hemispherical dome is a rotational dome made by rotating a shape around a central vertical axis (i.e. Stand a semicircle straight up with its flat side as the base and then spin it). Hemispherical domes are based on semicircles, not arcs. Semicircles have bottoms, therefore hemispherical domes should have bottoms as well, in theory. The difference between a hemisphere and a hemispherical dome is that the dome's interior is hollow. So Wall of Force's hemispherical dome option should have a floor. Tiny Hut just has conflicting wording. The range is hemisphere, a filled shape that has a floor (which makes sense because it affects the full area inside of it). However, the text of the spell just calls it a dome (not a hemispherical one as you point out) and says that it is "around and above", which contradicts the hut being a hemisphere. So Tiny Hut could go either way.
Im tierd of hearing sharpshooter doesn't work with the psy blades they have a range for attacks and meet sharpshooter
DM allowed me to take this as a Scribe wizard in a horseback-combat-heavy campaign. Gonna be using ropes frozen in the air to stop moving horses violently
Draconic Sorcerer's Elemental Affinity does not work on Armor of Agathys. It only applies damage to damage rolls which the spell does not do. Armor of Agathys only deals flat damage.
would finding a way to get great weapon fighting change the numbers significantly?
Well explained. Though I do have one question. If a character hass a passive perception of 15, and has the Alert feat, would this not also give him advantage therefore giving him an additional +5 to the passive perception?
No, Alert doesn't grant advantage on perception.
Hard G on Gen Con? The Gen originates from its place of origin, Lake Geneva, WI. Note the soft G.
Great video
Looking forward to what I hope will be a number of videos with new builds when 5.24 is out 🤞😃
This video was very helpful. Thank you
Omg I love these series ! You are so nice and creative. Incredible ! Thank you 🙏
Thank you acknowledging my time, that gets you a like right away. I love your videos and your style.
I found 3 of 4 genie builds. Did you do water? Or no? Cause I can't find it
Let’s not forget the giant shark for underwater encounters!
Watching this kinda late, but are you saying you’re able to use the BA Homunculus attack and the TS Web attack in the same turn? If so can you explain how?
Tiny Servants can be given standing orders, e.g. "always attack a creature that I'm fighting or pointing at".
Very interesting that you went with PfE/G over Bless. I’d also consider Bless a great defensive spell, although it pulls ahead in that it also combos greatly with offensively minded team members (e.g. CBX/SS Rangers).
Those lists are very helpful.
I fully agree with the #1 slot the only problem is you have to be a Paladin, bard, or have Wish to use it. That is why It usually doesn't make the list.
I didn't even know about this subclass and now its my favorite wizard subclass
TIL you are not supposed to automatically know what spells are being cast in order to counter spell them. Damn, that does make Counterspell worthless the vast majority of the time.
I dunno. Our party Druid seems to really like becoming a giant gorilla and smashing everything in sight when the wizard asks him if he wants to become it.
I just give my Imp a sack full of vials of acid and have it fly above the target and throw it at them for 2D6 acid damage. No need for it to get into melee. You also have it spread caltrops (uses just the imps action, nothing from the warlock) sometimes you just gotta slow people down.
Please tell me we’ll get more of this🙏🙏
I love this format. It reminds me of '48 Laws of Power', but for DnD.
This playlist might be the most important series of videos on DnD I've ever watched. Bravo.
Many thanks! I plan to remake this series when the 2024 rules drop... I've got a lot more experience both at making videos and playing the modern version of D&D!
OMG..... I'm new to DM'ing.. TBH? Kinda new to DnD in general. You've opened up a new world for me here. Not just on familiars. But the potions not is what I found to be even more helpful. My party has quite a bit of freedom on character builds. I don't wanna tell them no. It's suppose to be fun right?! 🤣🤦 Long story short? They're level 10.. But you'd think they were 20 by looking at these builds.... Bugbear path of the Giant barbarian with polearm master and sentinel. <---thorn in my a$$... And a Monk (subclassed fighter) that seems to never run out of attacks... I want them to have fun. But they're walking through everything I'm setting up. Even after I boost the stat blocks and HP of everything they encounter. Power gaming like crazy. I guess I don't even really understand how they're having fun at this point. Like... COD story mode on easy vibes.
I'm completely new to the channel and I've been loving your videos! Please, keep it up! I'd still like to see videos about multiclassing, because it's my favorite part of D&D. Maybe we're looking at a new series for your channel. Anyway, Sorlocks are insane! My main character is a Level 8 Draconic Sorcerer / Level 2 Hexblade Warlock, and I'm always looking for new combos ideas. Kudos, from Brazil!
Long jump distance calculated is for the round. Like other speeds. If you jump your max jump distance, that's its. Even if you have more move remaining. Example. Strength score of 20 means you can standing jump 10 feet. That's it. Not 10 feet as many times as you have movement.
Where does it say that? I see no such restriction mentioned, and IRL there is the triple jump event, so it makes little sense that it's not possible IMO.
@@Bilbrons-and-Dragons Very first sentence. "Your Strength determines how far you can jump." I'll admit that it is an interpretable read, but responding to your triple jump example, the all time world record for a triple jump is 51 ft 7 1/2 in. I don't thing a (even very strong) adventurer dashing with a 20 strength can triple jump farther than the best in the world there ever was or has been.
Lets gooo
Never a content creator had a more Hobbit name..
Could you please do minato next? I think an optimized minato would be awesome.
I love playing defense! I'm usually the one with the most game knowledge at my table so it's fun to be valued as a protector and enabling newer players to just go crazy with whatever they want to do
If you’re doesn’t allow boom blade or green flame blade with shadow blade, then two up and fighting becomes more valuable
Quick question: From where do I get a Healer's Kit? I don't think that's available to me at level 1. Do I have to hope my DM gives me an opportunity to buy one? Thanks. Love the build and can't wait to play it.
It's standard equipment so should be available as long as you have the gold and a slightly decent market available.
Really glad I saw this as I just started running a new campaign, one of my PCs is an Artificer, I would never have allowed MT to defeat darkness if I had not seen this. It hasn't come up yet but the more you know.
The bonus attack from Unwavering Mark triggers if anyone else is damaged. It has advantage, and it does additional damage. It's pretty good.
My GM has ruled that in addition to tiny objects, this spell can target brooms. For obvious flavour reasons.
mounted cavalier is op. free dash and disengage. and large creatures can squeeze in a medium space at half speed so you can still be mounted in dumgeons. woop
