D&D 5E vs. DC20: FIGHTER Class. Which is BETTER?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- We compare the features, mechanics and tools of the most popular TTRPG class - The Fighter in D&D 5E and DC20.
Which one comes out on top? You decide. We're not in the business of telling you what you like.
DC20 Kickstarter - Get it while it's hot: ( We can't post a link yet because we're a brand new channel. Just Google it. You're fine.)
8:17 Sorry, correction, you do get your AP at the END of your turn. That way you always have 4 AP for reactions and don’t have to “save” them
Damn, Brandon was right. We'll never hear the end of it...
😊👍🏻
The "roll high for more damage" also incentives using 1 AP (out of your 4) to give an ally one help die, (D8) to increase their chance of scoring a heavy or brutal hit. Or using 1 AP to give yourself advantage on your attack, increasing the odds of rolling well.
That's an excellent point. We need to let people know that in our next video. Thanks!
I think the thing I’m loving the most about DC20 from watching your videos. It just makes sense. So many things about 5e had me scratching my head, especially the grappling mechanics, or lack there of rather.
That's one of my favorite things, too. Dungeon Coach's goal was to make the game rules and mechanics as intuitive as possible.
Amazing overview of the differences with great humor and no downtime.
Hope you guys find success with this channel, I'm subbing to see more!
Thank you so much. Every sub is huge to a new channel, so we really appreciate it.
Mr. Skelly here! Glad to see you got the channel up and running! The background looks sick and the content was very humorous and informative! Keep up the great work boss!!
Thanks, bud. I miss playing with you guys.
@@Bardicaggravation same here! It was a lot of fun!
Loved the video. Hope you do every class comparison. I love DC20. Never going back to D&D
We are definitely doing every class comparison. As well as a full campaign comparison. We'll be playing a campaign in both systems and analyzing the differences.
@@Bardicaggravation Awesome! Very looking forward to it
@@Bardicaggravation subbing for this
I liked your group dynamic. I would suggest Ranger or Bard. Both are extremely different in DC20 from their DnD counterpart. Ranger is a pure martial, no spell casting in the base class with a favored terrain feature that isn't terrible. Bard leans heavily into support with the help action and other class features, which would highlight how the help action is actually useful compared to how it works in DnD.
I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Appreciate the feedback. Bard is one of my two favorite classes in 5E, and it's my only complaint in DC20. I don't like that it's almost forced into a support role. So, we will be doing a bard comparison, maybe next. Also, I'm playing a bard in DC20 play test to see what the actual constraints are and we're filming that, too.
@@Bardicaggravation It does have a heavy lean towards support, but if you want to branch into damage there are multiple ways to do so. Even at level 1 you get a couple of spell choices that are not hindered by school like the rest of your choices. And once you start taking talents you can go even further into support or start going martial / damage caster. Part of that is just the flexibility of the talent system.
@@AnArmyOfBunnies Oh yes, that's what I love most about this system. In the playtest, I'm going to take the martial path at level 2 and see how that plays out for the bard. The other option (when it becomes available) is to see if I can make a College of Swords Bard out of the Spellblade class.
The comedic action is great. And that's exactly how I reacted to the concept of the fighter class in DC20.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback.
Finally! Someone has the guts to make this video.
This is just a warmup. The wizard class vid coming this Thursday doubles down.
Looking forward to the Wiz video. 😁👍🏻
Hey guys, great content your're making, i'm looking forward for more videos of yours.
I'm glad to hear you taking about dc20 and liking it because for quite some time i'm putting together a bunch of rules from dnd5e and pathfinder2e and than i found out about dc20 and it turned out to be preeeetty close to what i've been imagining as a cool, complete game to my taste with enough crunch for it to make some sense and martials that actualy compare to casters. Someday after you finish comparing the classes of these two systems if you are interested i can send you a pdf with the rules tweaks, changes, addons an what not for you to take a look.
And than again, i really like this channel i hope i gets the attention it deserves.
Thanks. We did the same thing - trying to weave Pathfinder rules into our 5E campaign and then discovered that DC20 already fixes it all.
And yeah, we'd love to see your PDF with your home-brew rules and tweaks. We'll be opening a Discord for our channel soon. We can get it through there.
I will mark this day as your 104th subscriber. You guys friken rock! Hope to see more of you in the future if the world doesn't explode first. Y'all are all kinds of cool!
The brother with the fedora's a real Rollin Stones type, haha! I freaking love DC20 so far. I hope it flourishes in the future and I hope you all do too!
Wow, thanks for the enthusiastic comment. Means a lot to a new channel like ours.
@@Bardicaggravation And I'm your 141th subscriber! :)
Love the format!
Watched a couple of minutes and had to subscribe lol
I suggest comparing the druid next. I'd be really interesting due to new point system of wild shape
Thanks for subscribing. I'm sure you know how much that means to a brand new channel. Definitely hitting the druid in the next couple of vids. That's my personal favorite. (Along with the bard). We've already filmed the wizard and the rogue so the druid and the bard should be right after.
This is so cool guys! Thank you for the insights!
Saw the wizard video, watching the rest now!
Thanks so much. Really appreciate the support.
This had me ready to binge your videos only to see this is the first? I dont think i’ve ever felt dissapoint-citement before.
You just made our day. Thanks so much. Our videos drop every Monday and Thursday at 5:00 pm EST.
👍🏻
Loved the first video and can’t wait for more! You guys are hilarious and make me want to learn D&D! Excited for you all on starting the channel!
-Santa
Thanks, my friend. You and bro were always very encouraging. Feels good to finally get this thing off the ground.
Damn these gentlemen are having fun!! :)
Thanks for noticing and mentioning.
Awesome, informative, and funny. 🙂👍🏻 I wanted to create a heroic Fighter-Abjuration-Eldritch Knight-Protector-Tank Character in D&D... but DC20 has allowed me to create my dream build even better. DC20🎉 Subscribed and looking forward to the next part. 😉 I vote for Spellblade, Wizard, Commander, Monk, or Ranger. 😊
The Wizard vid drops in a few hours. Can't wait to talk about the Spellblade. He hasn't officially released it yet, but I just read through it on his Patreon. It's sick!
Really enjoyed this. Subscribed. 😊👍
Thank you so much. We will do our best to not suck.
yeah I been following DC20 since early on. The best thing about is all the options you have to play the type of Martial Character you really want to play without needing to mulit-class to do cool stuff
Do the DC20 Monk next
By far way better than 5E monk
Like the channel guys
keep it up
You read my mind - we're filming our monk video in a few days. One of our group is play testing the DC20 monk right now and it's amazing.
@@Bardicaggravation Yeah I'm looking forward to your video. The Beta just came out with more polished class features.
@@Wardaddy713 Monk video drops this Monday.
I can't wait for playing Daggerheart. I love rulings over rules 😊.
DC20 feels like a happy medium between 5E and Daggerheart as far as rulings over rules goes. The Dungeon Coach even addresses those things in the handbook.
@@BardicaggravationIn my opinion DC20 is a happy medium between 5E and Pathfinder 2nd edition. Great game DC20.
@@PedroPabloCalvoMorcillo We agree!
I know it's the RUclips culture but there is no "better", it's subjective. "Which one is right for you?" Would be a more fair way to look at it but that's just me. Thanks for the breakdown.
You are correct. I need to make saying "in my opinion" a habit. Thanks for the tip.
D&D always had the problem since 3th edition that characters only really came online and felt capable at Level 3-4. and then you played till maybe level 12, and then you're done.
early levels were often stingy with features, and nobody played endgame cause the difficulty and scaling fell apart.
DC20 has classes fully playable at level 1 and max level is 10. then you can prestige with feats and take new features from multiclassing or options you didn't take earlier.
Couldn't agree more. I wish more people could see that.
👍🏻
Hello gentlemen. Will you be doing the rogue at some point? I feel that is the class that has received the least attention on RUclips.
Funny you should ask. We've actually filmed the Rogue video several times. But it was one of our first videos and didn't turn out as good as we knew it could be. Rick is playing a Rogue in our DC20 playlets, so we're reshooting the rogue video next week, now that we have more experience under our belts.
Not sure if this is the correct time for this type of video, since dc 20 is in beta and subject to change and 5e is releasing a new version. I would wait at least a little.
That's a fair point and we did weigh that. We figured that the best way to hook new players into DC20 was through class comparison and show how much more fun each class is in the new system. Even in its Beta iteration.
Our other vid series (that drops on Monday) is all about teaching improv exercises for role-players. Would love to get your feedback on that after you watch it. If that sort of thing interests you.
Lol, they are two different games, so they are not comparable.
Yet, everybody compares them. Like D&D and Pathfinder. Lotta TTRPGs out there, so it can be confusing trying to decide which one to commit time to playing.
