I love all the work Liam has put on to show how cool playing a martial can be with all the beautiful descriptions he gives in and out of combat. Although he also made casting cooler in campaign two with his spell descriptions... I guess Liam is just awesome at describing his characters
I think when all is said and done and you look at all three campaigns at once, Liam is my favorite player. He's just so...good. At every part of this. The role play, the improv, the descriptive storytelling, and mostly how much he puts into every character. The Crow, Dirt Wizard, and Smol Ninja. The best.
Mine too, vax was cute, caleb a lovable disaster, but both pretty over the top and clischee, He turned those clischees into gold but that does Not Change that orym IS by fare the Most interesting and unique character that shines especially, cause He IS so strongly build for Support instead of the Spotlight. Orym has subtility, and depth and Just such a unique vibe with being the Babysitter, brains and voice or reason, despite Not being that smart or straight forword by Nature either. He IS a chaosgremlin that in groups of Chaos gremlins stepped Up to the Task of reigning the Other In, cause someone needed too. Not through merrit, but process of Elimination. His lonelyness and reclusivness Stands IS such a sharp contrast to how friendly and comforting He is, Always looking Out for the Others. The fact He IS a Fighter and a halfling means He needed so much more creative to becomes a menace on the battlefield, and Liam totaly was Up for that challange with how He cimpensates for a Lack of strangh with dexterity and Speed, with ingenuity and with His baut and Switch Feature He IS Just so unique. I adore him, I adore how Liam actually keeps in mind that orym IS small and utalises it instead of forgetting about IT Like all to often when people Chose to Play or write characters with an Anatomy, that differs from their own and what they described Just Always Sound Off. In a way, orym IS the Most Liam of His characters
Also: "Playing a Warlock's so boring, you just do the same thing every round!" Any class is boring if you always do the same thing every round. People get so caught up in doing what's optimal that they stop being creative and making epic plays like Liam does.
@@jordanfitzmaurice6658 Liam O'Brien is the perfect person to show how amazing martial classes can be. Out of all the CR cast members, he is, in my opinion, the best D&D player overall, because not only is he endlessly creative and truly gets into his characters' heads, he understands the mechanical aspects of his class and subclass, and never fails to put them on display.
No lie, this scene alone fired an intense interest in fighter/monk classes. Still newish to dnd so I've tried caster classes only (I've always loved playing magic classes in RPGs). But I totally forgot that I can live my Tony Jaa dreams with martials!!
If you wanna do a little gradual change or something of the sort, to see how you like it, there is a fighter subclass called Eldritch Knight, which does get the Spellcasting ability. Only relatively lower level casting, but it is casting nonetheless
On the one hand I’m disappointed we won’t get to see what a Relorian Juggernaut can do most likely until a later date. On the other hand, it’s pretty awesome to see Liam show everyone how badass Battlemaster Fighters can be.
Dude, superiority dice are no freaking joke. My kobold fighter is a battle master with interception as my chosen fighting style and hot damn is it a good combo.
Man this is the second campaign where Liam is playing a character that can attack multiple times. I think Vax could attack what eight times at one point?
Liam proving fighters can be the boss, awesome showing

Basic AF DnD discource: Fighters are boring.
Liam O'Brien: Hold my sword next to this pit of lava... PUSHING ATTACK!

I guess you are right ;-) I would say he is. He needs to look at some fencing manuals and HEMA practitioners though.
"Here we go again" same energy as "I can do this all day" and "No, You move."
People literally call Orym Captain Exandria so it's a good reference.
@@DarksideGmss0513 Exactly, when we were watching live, I turned to my wife and mentioned something along the lines of "he's going Captain Exandria"
The Juggernaut: Why do I hear boss music?
Juggernaut: “wait, I thought *we* were the boss fight?????”
134 points of damage in one turn!!!! crazy, man
And only 33 of that was lava damage. 101 damage using only action surge and superiority dice.
This is with a shortsword! Most fighters can get this damage with a greatsword and GWM, and this little flea is doing it with a needle of a weapon!
Liam O'Brien is one of the best players I've ever seen, he has such an incredible mind for combat and his role playing is nearly unmatched
Orym is my favorite of all Liam's characters. He's ENDLESSLY creative. Battlemasters can be so resourceful in the right hands.

Same! I actually took Tavern Brawler just so I can work with more improvised fighting style
This fight made me so hype for the inevitable Bell's Hells vs Thull Round 3. Orym is fully done taking prisoners and I am *here* for it.
so, what do you think now?
:(
Orym: Shhh shh quiet quiet go to sleep.
I swear, watching Orym and his crazy battle master stuff inspired me to create one of my favourite dnd characters I have ever made!
Do tell!
Yea, do tell!

That's the true beauty of D&D, the creativity. Now go out there and try to make your own "Owlbear from the Ropes!"
I mean he did do the exact same this round all he did was just spam pushing attack. But I get what you're saying.
Now observe as I do the same thing six times in a row. Gloriously.

And this is why I LOVE being a martial! Roleplay doesn’t stop for us when combat starts. It continues!
this is why I need to play a martial, I hear so many people say they're boring in AND outside of combat. I say you're just a boring fighter.
Orym: I'm your huckleberry.

Yeah I wasn’t interested in driving until I saw a car
Oh the kicker is Orym is just a fighter
I can't wait to see this animated

I came here after ep.91 to cheer up a bit
LITTLE MOON IS BEST BOY
Hell yeah!
Love Liam’s descriptions!
Dude, superiority dice are no freaking joke. My kobold fighter is a battle master with interception as my chosen fighting style and hot damn is it a good combo.
I too, love anime. Go Kirito~ I mean Orym!
All these RUclips D&D optimizers saying how martials suck need to watch this video.
Never played D&D, but this just like my BAEZEL for real for real!
This was such an amazing moment
Idk why but I always imagine in this moment Orym sounds just like Link
Man this is the second campaign where Liam is playing a character that can attack multiple times. I think Vax could attack what eight times at one point?
Those Boots of Haste were, in fairness, wildly unbalanced for 5e
