Hey man, just wanna say your videos are still some of the most helpful after nearly 8 years!
wow! i just spent ages looking for your channel, best series still 9 years later. you taught me how to play when i was in high school, now i'm getting back to it as a young adult but i needed a bit of a refresh and you made it so easily understandable back then that i had to find ya again
This has helped my family create characters for the first time. Thanks for keeping the video up. We all love d&d now.
Very straightforward and step-by-step explanation on starting character creation. I will definitely recommend for others to watch this prior to creating their characters.
So glad I found this. I've been wanting to get into D&D forever, but the learning curve can seem like a steep cliff. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this series.
This is great , Im new to Dice games and was looking for a place to learn how to build a D&D character. Great Idea as a series. Thanks alot
thank you SO much for this! can't wait to learn how to play, and this video really helped :)
Thanks for this dude!
I may not be stupid but it helps to have someone hold your hand even with basic things the first time round :3
I think you have some of the best subscribers on any youtube channel, usually everyone is always fighting and cursing in the comments but here everyone is nice and chill. I love all your videos! :)
Skylar Sheriar It's true! It's pretty rare that any disagreements break out in the comments. It's pretty pretty amazing.
Have you though of splitting your arcane focus. I know it sounds odd but what if each trinket was an focus of a spell or group of spells. How I used this was with a kobold wizard (Master scribe template). He was originally trained by a wizard trapped in a cave in that saw the spark of magic in him and wanted his add in food and possible freedom. The Wizard gave him a pair of glasses that were once magical but broke in the cave in and told him that they were magic so he could see magic and read magic with him, Slate the kobold lore master thought for years that they were how he read magic but it was just a focus for his own magic. Just a though to keep a cool concepts from being lost to a the momentum of change.
Thanks man I’m going into a dnd session tomorrow and I had to make my chart at last second
now i might be using an even older book and sheet i picked the book out of my dads office cut couple of my friends play but where have u printed the sheet off of i am looking for the sheet that you use so it is easier to flow along and then transfer if my friends do something different, also i like the intro and glad to see games like this hasn't been lost:)
good video. it helped me alot.
Question how do you edit the character sheet online? I can't ever seem to edit my digitally
Hey! Just wanted to say I love the videos and they have helped me out quite a bit. I plan to get a group of friends who I grew up playing D&D with together for a campaign and your videos have been encouraging me to step out more into being our DM. I have been playing D&D on and off for almost 12 years now and I have only been in one dedicated group that lasted from Level 1 to level 8. Longest game I was ever a part of and only real ongoing game too. I hope to break the curse for me and my friends when I start DMing.
How ever I was wondering what you used for the character sheet. I liked how you just click in what section and type away without having to adjust font or anything. So if you could help me out that would be great!
OH and happy gaming! ;D
Robert Yorke
Hey Robert! Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate. I hope your upcoming games go well!
The character sheet I am using comes from the WotC website: dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/character_sheets
Thanks a bunch and keep up with the great content!
the initial creation of my hero is usually not the issue i face. big choices to make at level 3 are my current issue
what type of warrior do i become (BM vs Champ for example)
what oath do i pick (paladin choices are tricky and interesting)
and more styles that come on level3
its tricky as i usually have an idea for race and background, but classes and variations within classes are tempting and harder for me.
I'm the same. I'm playing Bard in my friends up-coming campaign and I'm dreading level 3. The two choices you get are pretty different so it's a big step. I suppose when you're playing your way up you'll find a style you like before you have to make the choice, and it'll be easier once you've actually played a couple encounters.
MrMcBobb
Essentially i picked the classic mode for Paladin for it suits my party best. i just want to know how aFistfulofDice handles the (pretty big) level 3 impacts on these classes
Thanks
I've never understood why everything says start with the race. I've only ever done that once, every other time I start with the class and choose a race second.
Hey man. I just started following your channel. Anyway, I'm a PF player and GM and have been looking at 5e. Do you think it's worth getting in to as an easier means to get others into tabletop?
***** I do think that 5E is easier and more intuitive than 3.5/PF. However, it's up to you to decide what you think is best for your players. Check out my review of the basic rules for a more in-depth look: ruclips.net/video/02OhTFXzvQg/видео.html
I am also a PF player and i recently picked up 5e. its great and it really forces new players to role-play. you should check out the 5e basic rules online. :)
Thanks! :)
Hey Matt, where did you get that character sheet? (great vid btw)
Thanks! I downloaded it from WotC's website.
Oh okay thanks, I've found a few but they're all really overcomplicated. Do you think you'll be doing a video on cross-classing? Really love the hero workshop series and the video on the 5 room dungeon thing :-) Also do you think you could maybe do a video on random enounters on the road? Thanks, and keep up the good work :-D
i watched your video on the human elf and orc races coming from the one race, and i just thought, can orcs and elves not breed due to how seperate they were made?
Patrick Ryan
In my game, elves and orcs can breed. So half-orcs can have either human blood or elven blood.
First time ever looking into D&D. I want to stick to D&D Lore for the most part, but I want to make a Kuo-Toa'n character, which isn't listed as a PC race. How would one go about making a custom race based on existing Lore and keep it balanced? And is custom Sub-Races a thing? I want to really invest in my character and every time I bring up the sheet it's like trying to pik a fight with someone twice my size... it's a bit intimidating, lol.
My best suggestion for creating a custom race would be to examine the stat block for the chosen creature (Kuo-Toa in your case) in the Monster Manual. see which ability scores are highest, and use those as the ones the player race version will get bonuses to. Here's an example using Kobolds: www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?371508-Playable-Kobolds! (Open the spoiler tabs on the first post)
This name "Dampf Feuer" sounds extremly stupid to me as a german native speaker :P But good video anyway :)
thetrueRakuen I know, I know. It'd be like naming a character Sword Steel or something in English. But he's an old, old character of mine. :)
is that a website youre using to write it down? XP im pretty dumb but it *is* a genuine question
It’s just a form fillable character sheet.
where do you find the type-able character sheet?
cason fulton WoTc website
how to I get the pdf to be able to type in??
KeOnte Smith The form-fillable PDFs are available on the WotC website.
Where can i find those online Character Sheets? ty
ricardolecocq There are available on the WotC website.
I downloaded the sheets and I still can't type into them. Help?
In the ZIP file. Make sure you've selected that one.
I got a question can I be a half demon
There are no official rules for being a half-demon, but there are tieflings, which are devil-blooded humanoids.
Since I have to always be DM'ing I'm going to make a npc to help the Players in combat so I won't get frustated for never getting to fight and stuff... A former Rogue now a Druid chaotic good?
AnoAssassin I would be careful with doing a DM PC. Controlling a longtime party member AND DMing can lead to problems.
aFistfulofDice He'll only fight. No checks or anything
AnoAssassin Then I have to wonder - why include a character whose only purpose is to fight? What if your players ask him to do other things? You control the monsters in fights - I'm curious why you feel like you need a character too.
aFistfulofDice Only two players. They didn't beat sh*t so I decided to give them a combat boost. Like Puffo the Macho in Heroes of Awesome. Also players can give him commands, but he is inautonomous in all other things than combat
Too bad i don't have any D&D handbooks and i have only played 1 session of pathfinder ever.
The basic set of rules for d&d 5e are all available on the official WotC website for free.
All of the Pathfinder material and at least a lot of 3.5 are available online as well.
and i see that this chat is semi active so if u have other vids u need to post first go ahead i don't need and immediate answer and have a nice day
I have a hard time accepting Tieflings, and Dragonborn as core races. To me people born with draconic, or infernal blood should be rare, and special. A Dragonborn dockworker, or a Tiefling housewife makes these amazing hybrids seem so mundane.
FeyScribe Honestly they are still intended to be exotic. They are not listed in alphabetical order with the rest but at the end of the races with a paragraph about being rare in most worlds.
As a DM I don't allow more than 1 exotic race without some discussion. I also make it so Dragonborn are not of draconic bloodline but simply reptilian humanoids. Tieflings are also part of an ancient human subgroup that was transformed by a dark pact with [insert devil of lore specific to my setting]. Sicne the fall of the empire they are rare and nearly extinct and unlikely to be a simple house wife.
Can i be a full orc
+CreeperSlayer You can't not be full orc. You either go full orc or no orc. There is no life without orc. Orc is love. Orc is life. Try orc once and you will never go back to no-orc again or we'll refund. Orc. Simple is genius.
