    The one line that killed me "I swear I am not trying to make Sephiroth into a Necromancer, I just want Necrotic damage and the book keeps giving me zombies." Totally worth it.

    "He's not a Fallen Aasimar because they get two wings"
    Ironically enough, another reason why that wouldn't work is because, despite having only 1 wing, Sephiroth is able to fly, which Fallen Aasimar's can't do due to their wings being mere bones.

    @ultimateninjaboi 4 года назад +61

    2 handed weapons dont prevent spellcasting. You're able to "hold," it in one hand while performing the somatic components, then putting the second hand back on. Dual Wielding, Sword and Boarding, or wielding a weapon while holding onto something (typically a rope/ladder/rail or other such thing keeping you in place) are typically what prevent somatic components.
    Still. The rest of Warcaster is really nice for this build, that it's still worth the investment.

      @@malachimclean3638 from the PHB Errata: "Two-Handed (p. 147). This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it. "
      Essentially means you need a hand to hold it, and a free hand to attack with it. So holding something, or otherwise continually using your hand to do something will prevent you from attacking. But the gestures used for somatic components only last the casting time, during which you arent attacking anyway.

    I don't mind Divine Soul Sorcerer, it just feels like a LOT of builds on this channel either center around Fighter/Sorcerer/Paladin combos or are near-pure class builds. I don't think that's particularly a knock against you, but more the content you're covering: People tend to request and vote for protagonists of fantasy series, which tend to BE Swordbois that often combine it with magic.

    I'm no Final Fantasy buff, but I heard somewhere that Sephiroth has powerful illusion magic. Since wizards learn two new spells every level and can add more to their spellbook with scrolls and such, I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to get spells like Hallucinatory Terrain and Mirage Arcane (sure they have long casting times, but whatevs).
    Also great job on the extra long video.
