@@pittgoose Even then, only someone who was "basically a god" could unknowingly take her own life (and only because she panicked last-minute) yet be brought back via the power of friendship. Do you know of anyone else (outside of a one-shot or battle royale) that was able to kill her? And no, knocking her unconscious and reducing her to two failed death saves doesn't count.

Goldfish Downsides: - Abysmal HP - Goes splat on rocks - Cannot survive if it doesn't land in the water - Probably won't survive even if it lands in the water from 1000 feet Upsides: - It'll be hilarious when all of that happens...
With real life physics: The problem with that drop is that you don't land *in*, but *on* water. Your splattered remains will then sink or float. Then again if the goldfish is light enough you might actually land in the water. Safest bet would be mouse for high drops. If you land on water transform after you land. (Insects are so light they will be carried for miles so you have no clue where you might end up.) Terminal velocity complicates this issue a lot as you might see. But don't transform into anything big/heavy(anything bigger then a mouse has such a bad surface to volume ration you will probably die) if you play with real life physics. In DnD physics go for highest HP always. Because that's the only metric taken into account outside of flight. This is the reason cats can consistently jump out of the window on the second floor without getting hurt if they land correctly. The first part is said ratio, the latter is their acrobatics.
It would have been cool, but the moment was tainted for me because Vox Machina were being the betraying dicks. Ik Liam got a lot of shit for basically forcing the group down that path, but still bugs me when I rewatch it
GoombaGenocide how were they betraying then? I thought by that point they knew that that Dragon was bad... I forget how to spell her name so didn’t even attempt.
@@dubbingsync no, Liam decided the dragon would betray them. Matt confirmed in Talks Machina that the dragon was doing exactly what it told them it was doing. Liam, on Twitter I believe, later said he hadn't understood the deal
I never jumped on that band wagon, and I never will. I always saw a person that I could understand, and really, I didn't understand why so many folks hated her back in the day. It hurt me to hear that shit. Anyway, that's all in the past.
Tip for people intimidated by druids: D&D Beyond just added creatures to the character sheet, so it's a lot easier to manage beast shapes. I find it's pretty simple to choose spells, too.
My first character is a druid tiefling named Flourish. It is overwhelming having so many spells. I ended up having to make cards for my favorites. Then I end up having to take an extra couple of minutes to prepare and pick which ones I'm going to use. Also, Circle of Dreams (not in the handbook, but is an official circle) is really good if you want to be a healer druid. Balm of the Summer Court is awesome. Flourish is still alive because she's good at running away and not jumping off cliffs.
I've finally found a group of people to play D&D with for the first time, and had my heart set on Druid(I love me some elemental magic). Everyone said not to pick druid as my first character, but I went ahead with it anyways,and it is VERY difficult, but still so awesome
So happy you mentioned Faerie Fire. I know a lot of new druids that completely overlook that spell and it's MASSIVELY useful in every tier. It gives everyone advantage and STOPS INVISIBILITY!!! Such a powerful and useful spell. Overall, I think the character quick builds are really starting to hit that sweet spot you guys have mentioned you're aiming for. They give good, understandable overviews of the beginning levels of the classes without getting too complicated. Good job!
Faerie Fire is great when used in dark places too. Especially if not everyone has Darkvision. Anything affected by Faerie fire sheds light and illuminates the area. It pays to judge on a case by case basis on whether you think Entangle or Faerie Fire is a better use of your concentration and the enemy is more likely to fail their save.
Ironic this comes up, like, the day after I consider rolling up a halfling druid just for the sheer OMGWTF on enemy faces as a tiny knee-high girl turns into a gigantic quarter-ton bear...
@@ChaosWolf1982 Ghostwise Halflings are wild, other Halfling might be easy too, read about them a little more. Try searching info on the Races of Faerun (3rd ed), Races of the Wilds (3.5 ed), Mordeikanen's Tone of Foes (5e) and in the Sword Coast (5e too). They aren't far from nature, they are more into nature than other races.
I just rolled up a stout halfling druid a week or so ago. Probably not going to play with it very often because I DM most of the time; but Milo Appleblossom is there whenever I need him.
And Nila can Call Lightning. Again and again and over and over and over again. Keyleth earned her overpowered tank status at Level 20: Unlimited Wild Shape Elementals = a few hundred more buffer HP per turn. That was lovely to see in action.
Agreed, it was also nice after how many times she got within an inch of winning a Battle Royal that she got to win a BR at last. which is fitting considering that she is the only one of the cast besides Liam who partook in every one, even the de-listed one with Kashaw and Zhara :) +Plus it was nice seeing her get to use a lot of proper combat spells without having to waste anything on her teammates, her helicoptering around as an air elemental with a laser cannon was awesome :)
I was heavily persuaded by my dm to make a druid after my wizard died... one word that wrecked my life: CONCENTRATION! It's easier to keep track of what's not concentration than what is because about 90% of your spells require it. Another thing that wrecked my life... casting times. About a third of druid spells take a minute or more to cast, making them useless in combat. My point is that druids are super harder to play than most people think. And if you ever give a druid any flack without having tried to play one... go take a cliff dive!!!
Honestly- I was very overwhelmed by the druid when I started with her. But I've also learned twice as much thanks to her. And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. The class fit my character like a glove and I've loved the roleplay I have been able to pull of with it.
This is the first quick build that actually suggested... a build. All the others are basically just reading the players handbook to you, glad to see a change here
I enjoyed this video its a fair summery of the druid build. It's nice to see Marisha poke fun at herself , but also learn and give a honest warning that druids are a very complex and in depth class that you should be sure to respect the challenge it takes to play one. Good to see these continue Hoping for more rules videos soon.
Don't feel too discouraged if you're new! A friend of mine picked moon druid as her first class and she kicks ass. Without her frontlining with beast shape my party would be dead several times over, and if not for a well placed moon beam (2nd level spell, 10/10 would fry zombies again) from her we would have gotten destroyed by an ogre/orc meat grinder we got stuck in. It is a lot of work but if you have someone more experienced helping you out it's not too overwhelming, and there are plenty of great resources online to help you keep track of your wildshapes.
I love my druid so much! A godsend tip I would add is use a D&D spell and beast app to help organize and store your spells. I personally love "5th Edition Spellbook" and "Druid Wild Shape" apps on the Android Market. The spellbook app allows you to make multiple tailored spell lists for different characters. It allows you to filter spells easily, put them into spellbooks and prepared spells list, and can add in expansion spells from other supplements like Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Druid Wild Shape app helps wrangle most creatures you'll most likely wild shape into (also, side tip, check with your DM before playing to make sure you are on the same page as to what animals you have seen that you can wild shape into). It's a little limited in filtering and moving around, but most of your beasts are there in one spot and able to get pull up stats quickly. These two apps will keep you from having to lug an entire druid book around with you on game nights.
Thank you guys for this series of videos. I used them last night to explain basic concepts to my new party during session zero. BTW the handbooker helper part stuck in their head all night
I’ve never played D&D before. I only started watching CR a month ago. But I did play as a feral/healer Druid in WoW 12 years ago, and Monster Hunter as a bow/hunting horn main who’s always stocked with goodies and the wide-range ability to keep everyone alive.... I think being the Swiss Army knife is my calling 😎
I'm starting my first ever game of D&D on the 25th and I'm absolutely *loving* the Handbooker Helper series. It's been so freakin' helpful and it's really whet my appetite! :D
Marisha: Druids are not for beginners and their highest stat should be wisdom. My dumb ass: This class would be perfect for my first ever character, also let’s make my best stat Dex!
My first ever character was a Druid. It was sort of a trial by fire introduction to DND but I absolutely adore that character and have such a fun time with her :)
It's good to prepare stat sheets for a few animals that you use often, so you don't need to look them up all the time, like tiger for damage, eagle for movement, and goldfish for cliff diving.
I just drew up a Shifter Druid with a high chance of going into Circle of the Spore (dat Necromancy yo) but we'll see, the campaign wont start until after Thanksgiving but I hope I can basically become a god ^^ Edit: I chose Shepherd and I'm really enjoying all the perks of basically ruling the wilds
I think it would be advantageous of anyone wanting to create a Circle of the Moon Druid to watch the Force Grey episodes with Dylan Sprouse playing Tyril Tallguy, a Firbolg Druid. He absolutely knocks it out of the park with the badass beast shapes and summoning critters.
Just starting with my first Druid. She's more a support build, able to make potions and poisons along with delicious tea. She wears her pet Belladonna nightshade plant like a flower crown and has crazy high passive perception. Perfect for maning the crows nest of our teams ship. Sometimes as an actual crow.
While Keyleth wasn't my favorite character from C1, she did give us some great moments from time to time. Most of those came from being a druid and I think people should play Druids more, especially with the new subclass (well the one good one) it opens up so many ideas and the biggest thing I can add is. DO NOT feel like you need to conform to the theme of the class, come up with the flavor you want to add. The world needs less tree hugging Druids. lol Great episode Marisha. o/
I've made a tribal princess who learnt druid magic as part of her hierarchy role. But she's an ass hole and I love it, she does things out of spite and isn't afraid to entangle a teammate for getting dirt on her dress 😂 forget tree huggers, be a druid who everyone hates that they love and need.
Bear Grills Yeah the Cricle of the Shepherd, being a pure druid or multiclass it just great all around. All you need to keep mind of it a lot of druid spells are concentration. So know what you are preparing along side the summon spells.
I wish I had this when my new players were looking for classes, would have realized druid is so hard for new players. Quick build very helpful there, thanks Marisha
While I don't fully disagree with the quick build thought of having the druid tank because a moon druid can be a tank, transforming into any CR 1 creature they seen off the bat, the real reason a Druid should invest into Constitution is due to the fact nearly all their spells are Concentration based.
As a DM running a game for people who have mostly never played (and only one player out of my four is going with a class she's familiar with), Handbooker Helper has been a life saver. Especially because I'm the DM Friend, so I haven't gotten to play most of the classes myself. (One day...)
Druids not being your starter class is such very good advice. I mean, I did it because I am silly like that, but it is good advice. Played a monk the other day, really enjoyed saying "I'm going to punch" many times, and that just being it lol
Was trying to find an interesting "Summoner" class to transfer from Pathfinder to DnD 5e, and thought I wouldn't be able to find one. Then I found Circle of Wildfire druids and they're as close to Summoners in DnD 5e that I've been able to find.

"...I'd recommend putting your next highest roll in CON, so that when you jump off a cliff as a fish, you *don't* die..."
Druids not being your starter class is such very good advice. I mean, I did it because I am silly like that, but it is good advice. Played a monk the other day, really enjoyed saying "I'm going to punch" many times, and that just being it lol

Thanks marisha, been needing this to show a rookie in my campaign 😁
“It’s fine! We’re Gods!”
