      @@nickgotvyak5890 Honestly I felt like the one in Game Changer felt more... hopeless, I guess? Because he spends like 10 seconds realising Ally was totally correct, and he would've missed it if that was the point of the game.

      I think that Sam was on to something in game changer, because seeing Brennan sink and say “No… wait” is so satisfying to see. I love Brennan, but there’s just something about seeing the realization of his plans failing because the pcs have some trait, or homebrewed item that’s so satisfying.

    • @DwiteLoot
      @DwiteLoot 7 месяцев назад +18

      Can’t the Monk class - or a subclass of it - gain a class feature called something like Still Mind that lets them use their action/bonus action to cancel charm or fear effects on themselves? Still, Mindless Rage allowing him to turn and swing same-turn is super good and unlocked at a much lower level IIRC than the Monk feature.

    this episode was set up to REALLY fuck the players up with high power enemies, rng encounters, rooms with no save mind control spells and a (potentially) nasty time mechanic, but they were just on their A game here. Id say murph is probably the mvp here weaponizing his shit luck by circumnavigating the entire encounter with rouge features followed by two low rolls on a d4 for the clock. excellent episode as far as play goes and a rare instance of a mechanically satisfying high level encounter.

    I love the "do a little dance" part so much! Brennan fully trusts Siobhan to do something interesting with temporarily being the bad guy, asking her what to do next (as Zara and Zayne), and she immediately comes up with something both really creepy and really silly (perfect for the vibe of this episode), and then the combination of Siobhan, Brennan and Zac playing off of that is sooo fun to watch! I keep replaying it.

      I love Emily, but why people is giving Zac's triumph to Emily? Zack is the one who knew his class features, who thought how it could use them in this situation and who came with the plan. The only thing Emily did was telling him to go for it. I get it, she's a brilliant player and was sent from hell to destroy Brennan, but this is all Zac.

    I just want to note that how your DM rules it is how your DM rules it... but I have read Crawford (core 5e designer) tweets saying that it only prevents you from being charmed or frightened while its active it does not remove those conditions from when you when you rage.
    Saying that does in no way invalidate or minimize Brennan's choice and honestly, I think I respect it more because it can genuinely be fun for everyone to have a player get one over on you. And Brennan truly enjoys it. And this scene is hilarious.

    That was an amazing play on Zac's part. It can be hard as a GM to keep everything in on your mind, and on top of that you as the GM might know something that the NPC you are playing dose not. I don't think that the Warlock teacher would know Gorgug has mindless rage. I don't think every barbarian path gets mindless rage?? Still does not detract from the awesome play.

    • @Brim_the_Wizard

    Something very similar to this happened in Campaign One of Critical Role. In a battle with a vampire, as a matter of fact. Most parties live in fear of their Barbarians being charmed, but Berserkers are a whole other story.
