Our DM made mistakes and gave my wizard the equivalent of 2 simulacrums with "quarter damage and hp" as a fifth level spell. He did not say I couldn't cast it multiple times or that my clones could clone themselves. Apparently he got annoyed when my clone legion all cast haste on the barbarian for 15 extra actions and supersonic speed, and the blood hunter performed 24 rituals on the barbarian's weapon to add 24d8 per hit. 47 AC supersonic 17 APR 612 damage brutal critical advantage on melee attacks seems perfectly balanced.

pretty sure he didn't mean 40 mph but 40 feet/turn. Because 40 mph means the wizard was flying (roughly) 58 feet per second. 1 turn is 6 seconds, so he was moving close to 360 feet per turn? I call bs on a wizard moving that fast. :p I have a mobility monk that has 60 ft/turn movement. Double that for haste is 120. Double that because dashing is 240. Add another dash and only then do you reach 360 feet in 6 seconds.

An actual idea for plot armor. An enchanted suit whose AC is based on the stories the wearer tells the armor.Better and more thrilling stories and the AC is high. Bland and it stays low. You can only tell one story a week. Literal plot armor.
I was thinking something like AC dependent on how much the situation is against you. In a fight you should win, it makes you more vulnerable, worse than wearing no armor at all. In a single man vs army scenario your all but untouchable. That better fits most plot armor hero's. Lose a fight to a mugger on the street, cause plot needed to happen. But can take on the entire ninja army by yourself.
Enchanted armor based on the stories a player could tell would be broken with a bard. Just think about it, if a bard has a +15 or higher to performance, and there is a set of this kind of armor for the whole party it wouldn't be out of the question for the party to get to effective lvl 60(tri multiclassing to 20 each) before they start seeing trouble again.
What the heck did the warlock expect their plan to do? Like, the guard's basically running for his life and that of his comrades, ain't no wench that's gonna stop him...
Exactly. Brilliant decisions like these make me facepalm so hard as a DM. I had a session where party members were chasing a super old Night Hag while she was ethereal with logic "maybe she will take us to her lair and we will loot it". I made clear the hag KNEW about the players, but noooo, they continued. What happened? She lured them into a cave with 3 giants, she spooked the giants and then became ethereal again. 2/6 players died and now have new characters. And it was only 2 due to immense luck with dice. I tried not to kill them, but you can't beat stupid.
Yep I feel that. Every death seems to be the DM'S fault when in reality players come up with the most horrendous brain defying way to kill themselfs expecting a miracle.
if you have a problem rogue who likes to loot the bodies and sleight of hand pocket the choice items as soon as combat ends. . .cast haste on them during combat. it makes you look helpful, makes them feel super strong...and when it's over, they get immobilized for 1 round while everyone else has time to take inventory
Me: Hello blacksmith, I'm in need of a new armor. Blacksmithi: Sure, what are you looking for, a light one or something heavy? M: I'd like some good Plot armor please. B: Well, I have some hair spray...
I don't blame you for leaving the tankiest party member to fight 20 guards alone. Besides, -it's easy to replace fighters.- it's important not to let clerics die in case their god is watching?
So story about haste bullshit. My party and I had to save a friend of the party’s from the largest, most powerful orc army in the north. I (a Half-Orc Barbarian) disguised myself as an orc and snuck into the camp (Edit: I forgot to mention our Cleric/Druid was wildshaped as a chipmunk in my pocket) while our Bard and Sorcerer turned invisible and flew in. Meanwhile our Fighter, Druid, and Wizard were hiding in a ritual cast Tiny Hut outside. Needless to say things went downhill, they had someone with life sense, and they sent the entire army after our friends in the Tiny Hut. Just when we thought they were screwed beyond belief our Druid cast Polymorph on our Fighter turning him into a CR 7 Giant Ape with Multiattack and our Wizard cast Haste on him turning him into a nightmarish Huge sized beast that could move almost 200 ft. in a single turn or do a total of 12d10 damage if all attacks hit. Can you imagine the horror of surrounding a Tiny Hut only for a Haste’d Giant Ape to emerge? Nightmare fuel. Then our Wizard shouted “Send in the second giant ape” and the army retreated. So yeah, Haste when used correctly is terrifying.
Imagine an item enchanted with haste, Gauntlet of Additional Attack, Gloves of Try Making That Potion Again I Dare You!, and my favorite, Necklace of Why The Hell Am I Using This Action to Talk?!
An old party of mine had a similar strategy but we went about it differently. We had Three spell casters and Three melee characters, So at times we would Cast poly on the melee characters to turn them into Trexes. We had to do this to fight a dragon boss { that we were kinda supposed to run from } Except we Went two Trexes and Wizard casted Fly on us so we had two flying Rexes fighting an Ice dragon. Sadly this wasnt enough because the first guy got Fearful presenced and couldnt help anymore and my Guy fought pretty hardy till i lost Rex form. So i fought as a flying Goliath Barbarian Fighter - Samurai and Slew the dragon 3 hp from death, fulfilling my characters dream of killing a dragon and killing the biggest baddest monsters to help promote his mercenary group he owned. Multi Poly is always a fun time, especially poly with another type of Effect like fly or Haste.
Ah haste, that brings back pleasant memories. My DM was running a short lvl 20 mini-campaign where we went through Tomb of Horrors and then fought a random mega-evil creature. My group rolled Jubliex, demon lord of slime. I was playing as a barbarian. Tomb of Horrors didn't really matter, so I'll skip straight to the Jubliex fight. We had just arrived in his lair and were gearing up for the tough fight ahead. I chugged a Storm Giant potion to boost my strength up to 29 (+9). Just after I did that our wizard pulled out a bag full of haste potions, which the party all started downing. Now at this point the DM warned me that drinking two potions could have some very bad side effects. I had no idea what could happen, so I drank a haste potion for fun. The DM rolled on the potion mishap table and came up with "The numerical effects of one of the potions is doubled" We rolled for it. We rolled good. We rolled Storm Giant... Instead of setting my strength to 29 (+9), the potion set my strength to 58 (+24). Suddenly I could only miss on a natural one, I could only roll 58 on strength checks (as I had +30 to athletics and a high level barbarian can't roll below his strength score on those checks) and, because of haste, I was making 3 attacks a turn. With my astounding +31 damage (+24 for STR, +6 Proficiency and +1 for my sword) I was now dealing 3d8 + 93 damage per turn. Jubliex got a tad scared at that point. He tried running up the walls, but I could jump 27 feet into the air with a running start. Combine that with my immovable rod and rope of climbing, and I could follow him anywhere and do anything.
+25 to damage, it's +31 to hit. You don't add proficiency to damage. It does go up to +29 damage while raging. That sounds like a lot of fun and really ridiculous any way. I love a good Hulk jump. It's my favorite way to roll nat 1's.
Put Haste on a monk In any combat encounter. Sit back and watch dragon ball z occur. Afterwards proceed to give them what is the equivalent of a senzu bean. Which is a health potion
Sadly, they only get a single extra punch from haste, so it’s usually really wasteful to put it on a class who already gets 4 attacks at level 5. Making that 5 for a level 3 spell slot is a bit bleh
@@michaelsavage8774you forget the +2AC and advantage on dex save. The latter is really good for monk since they have evasion, and the AC is always nice. Haste indeed transform a monk into adragon ball z character, not because of the attack number, but because nothing will hit them
I am pretty sure I watched this when it first dropped but only now do I notice the look on the ranger's face after getting hasted makes it looks like she just got a whopping dose of methamphetamines.
As I know it there are just 2 ways to get into a fight with so many guards: 1. The Barbarian/Fighter got into a random fist fight. 2. The Bard failed his diplomacy critically.
If there isn't a clear disengagement path, where you can run away and possibly get away, yeah. Either way, roll up a new character. If you want a final stand, cool! He dead by the end unless the gods over the dice favor you from that moment on. But... if you submit to being captured... you'll play one of two things: Your own replacement, or the stand-in that will bust yourself out of prison... But that's up to the whole table what role the second takes. As a good GM... if the table decides you've replaced yourself, I'm pulling you aside and asking you if your primary wants revenge... and will begin sculpting an arc where you come back in rage. Is part of your probation taking down the rest of the party? Or have you gotten out by any means necessary to express your distaste on those who left you behind?

It's funny and memorable, which is ultimately the whole point of playing D&D. Although I think the stupidity of the plan in question undermines this particular moment. Still, the way that the other party members deal with it makes it memorable. Or perhaps it's a sexual fantasy. Who knows.
Then those were extremely weak cultists and guards. Guards in any decently sized city aren't supposed to be the PC equivalent of level 1. They're basically experienced fighters all working together for a common goal. Pissing off an entire city of guards is supposed to be a really bad idea.
Saving the Cleric is always a good choice. Because when you need it most, it becomes very convenient for a cleric to "forget" they could heal. Not speaking from personal experience, of course.
More pragmatically the cleric can potentially raise dead the fighter, the fighter cant do the same. This asumes the cleric is at least level 9. Technically the sorcerer could pull this stunt at lvl 5 once they have 3rd lvl spell slots but as I recall the first resurrection spell that does not need to be cast within 1 minute of death is a lvl 5 spell. Even if the guards go non lethal the cleric is probably more useful for a jailbreak than the fighter.

Fly speed is 60, HASTE, to 120, dash to 240, double dash is 360 NOT 480, 360 feet per turn, is 3600 feet in a minute. * 60 minutes is 216,000 feet per hour, 40.9 god forsaken miles per hour! race car build is online!
It's embarrassing how long it took for me to realize that Dashing doesn't double your speed, just let you move your full speed again. Used to think a 30ft speed double Dashing was getting 120ft, and it came up rarely enough that it never bothered me. I now realize how ridiculous that actually is and have since reread the rule.
Mobile, Longstrider, Zephyr Strike, Tabaxi's Feline Agility, Rogue's Cunning Action bonus action dash, external Haste, and any magic item you want that can give flying equal to your walking speed. You can break 100mph by combining additive and multiplicative speed bonuses.

I feel like we glossed over the "he turned into a lady to seduce a guard in a tense situation." too quickly. I need answers. Was that normal for the character? If I was him I would have set the guardhouse on fire making his return a waste as the guards would be busy trying to put the fire out.
I dunno I think the element of stealth and misdirection has a better chance of being effective than creating a violent distraction in the city in a different spot. Eventually both distractions will meet at the same place so it's worth at least considering Stealth i'd say.
Yeah, I feel like a fire would only have made things worse. It might distract the guards temporarily, but it's better, imo, for the guards to just remain clueless entirely. Just shoot the damn messenger. Or sleep him. Whatever. I'm assuming because the Warlock was a Changeling he tried to trick the guard to avoid using up any spells which he could use later, but I'm not sure seduction was the best way to do that. If my buddies are literally being slaughtered by a group of malcontents, I'm not gonna let some random woman distract me from bringing down the hammer on them.
Not to mention, if he cast haste on the fighter and cleric and sacrificed himself, they'd get stunned as soon as he failed his first concentration check, and chances are they wouldn't have gotten THAT far away by that point.
@@coppermeowmix Depends on the layout, a tanky cleric and a geared fighter can hold a 10 foot wide street for quite a long time, especially if they are focused more on staying alive than maxing dps. None of the guards displayed appeared to have range weapons on them, which means the sorc in the back is probably safe from endless concentration checks.

Maybe he only had the one spell slot available... lower level Sorc build... just happened to have Haste because... he thought that would be needed more.

Honestly nobody can blame you for the choice to cast invisibility on yourself. The fuck were you going to do? Get hit by 20 guards, lose concentration either from a failed con roll or going unconscious, and leave your other two teammates now visible???
At least he could confuse him and buy some time. My question is, how the hell they didn't know about a changelling in their party? I assume since he was with them, he was using his real identity.
So you can go very fast. Take two fighter level, take tabaxi, then a player cast haste on you. Thank to your feline agility, you can dash as a bonus action, then with the extra-free action granted by the spell, you can dash. Then just dash and use action surge to dash. You then dash four time in a row.
@@janvernw Feline Agility doesn't grant a bonus action dash. It does however double the Tabaxi's movement speed until end of turn, no bonus action needed. The Tabaxi must then spend a turn moving 0 feet before the ability can be used again. It's a great ability when a short burst of speed is needed, but not good for sustained high-speed movement. When you do need that short burst of speed, Feline Agility pairs very well with many abilities that allow extra movement, since it can double the extra movement as well. Toss in a pair of Boots of Speed, and you're doubling movement speed again, making for an exceptionally fast sprinter.
Or magical unicorns were tooting flying monkeys who threw a million gold coins that sprouted love. Anything is possible! ... but no, they were definitely caught red-handed doing something awful and the guards were just doing their jobs trying to stop them.
“And the Warlock never mentioned they were a Changeling” just happened to my own party lmao (the warlock being myself, returning after several months of absence).

To the few people here saying "20 guards aren't that big a deal" Guards have a hit bonus of +3, AC 16, and 11hp. Each do 4dmg per turn. Let's say the fighter has an AC of 18 (these guys are around lvl 5 or 6 I'd wager) The guards need to roll 15, or higher to hit the fighter. That's a 6/20 = 30% chance to hit. Over twenty guards, that's 6 hitting per turn totaling 24 damage per turn average to the party The fighter (the beefiest of the party) has only ~52 health. (Assuming average with +2 con, 10+5×6+2×6 = 52) The problem with hordes is that you're taking a constant stream of damage, and even if you oneshot 4 per turn (unlikely), that's still 5 rounds of combat you need to survive. Each turn doing a comparable amount of damage as the last, as each individual you take out is irrelevant. Even if we assume the party could oneshot 4 of them per turn, the guards would dole out around 80dmg, to the party member with the highest reasonable AC alone. They could at the very least total the fighter, along with another 4 rounds of constant assult to the Sorcerers concentration, which would cripple 2 party members for a turn, postponing things longer And that's giving the party a lot of faith in their rolls for hitting and damage Bad draw of the cards
Yet another case for how cool the Heavy Armor Master feat is. Really starting to grow on me if you want to be the tankiest dude alive. Turn those six 4 damage hits into six 1 damage hits, and maybe make it out alive.
you may make it out alive as an artillerist due to the flame cannon and tasha's caustic brew in combo you could block off an alley with the cannon using the flame to hold them back then assuming a five ft wide alley you could hit all of them with an up cast tasha's caustic brew and wait a few turns till they die

Just think about it, if a bard has a +15 or higher to performance, and there is a set of this kind of armor for the whole party it wouldn't be out of the question for the party to get to effective lvl 60(tri multiclassing to 20 each) before they start seeing trouble again.
What the heck did the warlock expect their plan to do? Like, the guard's basically running for his life and that of his comrades, ain't no wench that's gonna stop him...
Exactly. Brilliant decisions like these make me facepalm so hard as a DM. I had a session where party members were chasing a super old Night Hag while she was ethereal with logic "maybe she will take us to her lair and we will loot it". I made clear the hag KNEW about the players, but noooo, they continued. What happened? She lured them into a cave with 3 giants, she spooked the giants and then became ethereal again. 2/6 players died and now have new characters. And it was only 2 due to immense luck with dice. I tried not to kill them, but you can't beat stupid.
Yep I feel that. Every death seems to be the DM'S fault when in reality players come up with the most horrendous brain defying way to kill themselfs expecting a miracle.
Fisho D You only beat stupid with more stupid.
if you have a problem rogue who likes to loot the bodies and sleight of hand pocket the choice items as soon as combat ends. . .cast haste on them during combat.
it makes you look helpful, makes them feel super strong...and when it's over, they get immobilized for 1 round while everyone else has time to take inventory
LOL that is an awesome idea.

So story about haste bullshit. My party and I had to save a friend of the party’s from the largest, most powerful orc army in the north. I (a Half-Orc Barbarian) disguised myself as an orc and snuck into the camp (Edit: I forgot to mention our Cleric/Druid was wildshaped as a chipmunk in my pocket) while our Bard and Sorcerer turned invisible and flew in. Meanwhile our Fighter, Druid, and Wizard were hiding in a ritual cast Tiny Hut outside. Needless to say things went downhill, they had someone with life sense, and they sent the entire army after our friends in the Tiny Hut. Just when we thought they were screwed beyond belief our Druid cast Polymorph on our Fighter turning him into a CR 7 Giant Ape with Multiattack and our Wizard cast Haste on him turning him into a nightmarish Huge sized beast that could move almost 200 ft. in a single turn or do a total of 12d10 damage if all attacks hit. Can you imagine the horror of surrounding a Tiny Hut only for a Haste’d Giant Ape to emerge? Nightmare fuel. Then our Wizard shouted “Send in the second giant ape” and the army retreated.
So yeah, Haste when used correctly is terrifying.
Imagine an item enchanted with haste,

Ah yes, the 'third nuke' tactic... works since the 1940s
It’s become a recurring strategy for our party now. We call it “The Great Haste Ape of 98”
....this actually happened last year, the 98 just rhymes.
ChrispyChrispo clearly the year in the campaign needs to be changed so it was in year 98.
An old party of mine had a similar strategy but we went about it differently.
We had Three spell casters and Three melee characters, So at times we would Cast poly on the melee characters to turn them into Trexes. We had to do this to fight a dragon boss { that we were kinda supposed to run from } Except we Went two Trexes and Wizard casted Fly on us so we had two flying Rexes fighting an Ice dragon.
Sadly this wasnt enough because the first guy got Fearful presenced and couldnt help anymore and my Guy fought pretty hardy till i lost Rex form. So i fought as a flying Goliath Barbarian Fighter - Samurai and Slew the dragon 3 hp from death, fulfilling my characters dream of killing a dragon and killing the biggest baddest monsters to help promote his mercenary group he owned.
Multi Poly is always a fun time, especially poly with another type of Effect like fly or Haste.

Ah haste, that brings back pleasant memories.
My DM was running a short lvl 20 mini-campaign where we went through Tomb of Horrors and then fought a random mega-evil creature. My group rolled Jubliex, demon lord of slime. I was playing as a barbarian.
Tomb of Horrors didn't really matter, so I'll skip straight to the Jubliex fight. We had just arrived in his lair and were gearing up for the tough fight ahead. I chugged a Storm Giant potion to boost my strength up to 29 (+9). Just after I did that our wizard pulled out a bag full of haste potions, which the party all started downing.
Now at this point the DM warned me that drinking two potions could have some very bad side effects. I had no idea what could happen, so I drank a haste potion for fun. The DM rolled on the potion mishap table and came up with "The numerical effects of one of the potions is doubled"
We rolled for it. We rolled good. We rolled Storm Giant...
Instead of setting my strength to 29 (+9), the potion set my strength to 58 (+24). Suddenly I could only miss on a natural one, I could only roll 58 on strength checks (as I had +30 to athletics and a high level barbarian can't roll below his strength score on those checks) and, because of haste, I was making 3 attacks a turn. With my astounding +31 damage (+24 for STR, +6 Proficiency and +1 for my sword) I was now dealing 3d8 + 93 damage per turn.
Jubliex got a tad scared at that point. He tried running up the walls, but I could jump 27 feet into the air with a running start. Combine that with my immovable rod and rope of climbing, and I could follow him anywhere and do anything.
+25 to damage, it's +31 to hit. You don't add proficiency to damage. It does go up to +29 damage while raging.
That sounds like a lot of fun and really ridiculous any way. I love a good Hulk jump. It's my favorite way to roll nat 1's.
“I wasn’t being selfish, invisibility is a concentration spell. I gotta stay safe for the invisible cleric! Byyyyyeeee”
Put Haste on a monk In any combat encounter. Sit back and watch dragon ball z occur. Afterwards proceed to give them what is the equivalent of a senzu bean. Which is a health potion
Sadly, they only get a single extra punch from haste, so it’s usually really wasteful to put it on a class who already gets 4 attacks at level 5. Making that 5 for a level 3 spell slot is a bit bleh
@@michaelsavage8774you forget the +2AC and advantage on dex save. The latter is really good for monk since they have evasion, and the AC is always nice.
Haste indeed transform a monk into adragon ball z character, not because of the attack number, but because nothing will hit them
I am pretty sure I watched this when it first dropped but only now do I notice the look on the ranger's face after getting hasted makes it looks like she just got a whopping dose of methamphetamines.
ditto here. I had to replay it at .25x to make sure the look on her face was actually there.
I will not judge, because I am pretty sure the fighter is the one who got you into this fight.
As a friend of mine says "if there is not a barbarian pissing people off, surely the fighter is"
Oh my golly. I would love to hear Zee Bashew respond to this.
As I know it there are just 2 ways to get into a fight with so many guards:
1. The Barbarian/Fighter got into a random fist fight.
2. The Bard failed his diplomacy critically.
You forgot the 3rd one, your robot hits 2 guards while you are shopping
*looks at feet* no.
it me.
The only thing the fighter can do at that point is drop the hammer, throw the hands up and go quietly. XD
If there isn't a clear disengagement path, where you can run away and possibly get away, yeah.
Either way, roll up a new character. If you want a final stand, cool! He dead by the end unless the gods over the dice favor you from that moment on. But... if you submit to being captured... you'll play one of two things: Your own replacement, or the stand-in that will bust yourself out of prison... But that's up to the whole table what role the second takes.
As a good GM... if the table decides you've replaced yourself, I'm pulling you aside and asking you if your primary wants revenge... and will begin sculpting an arc where you come back in rage. Is part of your probation taking down the rest of the party? Or have you gotten out by any means necessary to express your distaste on those who left you behind?
@@brenkrasmer The Idea of breaking out the fighter seems more fun, but with a group as uncoordinated in video, it probably won't end well.

Good story-telling.
It's funny and memorable, which is ultimately the whole point of playing D&D. Although I think the stupidity of the plan in question undermines this particular moment. Still, the way that the other party members deal with it makes it memorable.
Or perhaps it's a sexual fantasy. Who knows.
my barbarian killing like 4 cultists and 12 guards: i AM the action economy
Then those were extremely weak cultists and guards.
Guards in any decently sized city aren't supposed to be the PC equivalent of level 1. They're basically experienced fighters all working together for a common goal.
Pissing off an entire city of guards is supposed to be a really bad idea.
"And tried to 'Bugs Bunny' the guard" made me choke on my drink.
Saving the Cleric is always a good choice. Because when you need it most, it becomes very convenient for a cleric to "forget" they could heal. Not speaking from personal experience, of course.
My character comes back as a ghost just to kill my petty cleric
More pragmatically the cleric can potentially raise dead the fighter, the fighter cant do the same. This asumes the cleric is at least level 9. Technically the sorcerer could pull this stunt at lvl 5 once they have 3rd lvl spell slots but as I recall the first resurrection spell that does not need to be cast within 1 minute of death is a lvl 5 spell. Even if the guards go non lethal the cleric is probably more useful for a jailbreak than the fighter.

Fly speed is 60, HASTE, to 120, dash to 240, double dash is 360 NOT 480, 360 feet per turn, is 3600 feet in a minute. * 60 minutes is 216,000 feet per hour, 40.9 god forsaken miles per hour! race car build is online!
I'm most surprised that the "essentially 40 miles per hour" was actually accurate.
@@l.o.b.2433 let's be real, zee probably did the math.
It's embarrassing how long it took for me to realize that Dashing doesn't double your speed, just let you move your full speed again. Used to think a 30ft speed double Dashing was getting 120ft, and it came up rarely enough that it never bothered me. I now realize how ridiculous that actually is and have since reread the rule.
Mobile, Longstrider, Zephyr Strike, Tabaxi's Feline Agility, Rogue's Cunning Action bonus action dash, external Haste, and any magic item you want that can give flying equal to your walking speed. You can break 100mph by combining additive and multiplicative speed bonuses.

I feel like we glossed over the "he turned into a lady to seduce a guard in a tense situation." too quickly. I need answers. Was that normal for the character? If I was him I would have set the guardhouse on fire making his return a waste as the guards would be busy trying to put the fire out.
Pfft. I'd have just blasted the guard
I dunno I think the element of stealth and misdirection has a better chance of being effective than creating a violent distraction in the city in a different spot. Eventually both distractions will meet at the same place so it's worth at least considering Stealth i'd say.
He was a Changeling.
Yeah, I feel like a fire would only have made things worse. It might distract the guards temporarily, but it's better, imo, for the guards to just remain clueless entirely. Just shoot the damn messenger. Or sleep him. Whatever. I'm assuming because the Warlock was a Changeling he tried to trick the guard to avoid using up any spells which he could use later, but I'm not sure seduction was the best way to do that. If my buddies are literally being slaughtered by a group of malcontents, I'm not gonna let some random woman distract me from bringing down the hammer on them.

Not to mention, if he cast haste on the fighter and cleric and sacrificed himself, they'd get stunned as soon as he failed his first concentration check, and chances are they wouldn't have gotten THAT far away by that point.
@@coppermeowmix Depends on the layout, a tanky cleric and a geared fighter can hold a 10 foot wide street for quite a long time, especially if they are focused more on staying alive than maxing dps. None of the guards displayed appeared to have range weapons on them, which means the sorc in the back is probably safe from endless concentration checks.

At least he could confuse him and buy some time. My question is, how the hell they didn't know about a changelling in their party? I assume since he was with them, he was using his real identity.
So… with rogue’s achetype arcane trickster you can dash three time in a row.
So you can go very fast. Take two fighter level, take tabaxi, then a player cast haste on you. Thank to your feline agility, you can dash as a bonus action, then with the extra-free action granted by the spell, you can dash. Then just dash and use action surge to dash. You then dash four time in a row.
@@janvernw Then add the mobile ft for an extra ten feet per dash and cast expeditious retreat.
@@janvernw Feline Agility doesn't grant a bonus action dash. It does however double the Tabaxi's movement speed until end of turn, no bonus action needed. The Tabaxi must then spend a turn moving 0 feet before the ability can be used again. It's a great ability when a short burst of speed is needed, but not good for sustained high-speed movement.
When you do need that short burst of speed, Feline Agility pairs very well with many abilities that allow extra movement, since it can double the extra movement as well. Toss in a pair of Boots of Speed, and you're doubling movement speed again, making for an exceptionally fast sprinter.

To the few people here saying "20 guards aren't that big a deal"
Guards have a hit bonus of +3, AC 16, and 11hp. Each do 4dmg per turn. Let's say the fighter has an AC of 18 (these guys are around lvl 5 or 6 I'd wager)
The guards need to roll 15, or higher to hit the fighter. That's a 6/20 = 30% chance to hit. Over twenty guards, that's 6 hitting per turn totaling 24 damage per turn average to the party
The fighter (the beefiest of the party) has only ~52 health. (Assuming average with +2 con, 10+5×6+2×6 = 52)
The problem with hordes is that you're taking a constant stream of damage, and even if you oneshot 4 per turn (unlikely), that's still 5 rounds of combat you need to survive.
Each turn doing a comparable amount of damage as the last, as each individual you take out is irrelevant.
Even if we assume the party could oneshot 4 of them per turn, the guards would dole out around 80dmg, to the party member with the highest reasonable AC alone.
They could at the very least total the fighter, along with another 4 rounds of constant assult to the Sorcerers concentration, which would cripple 2 party members for a turn, postponing things longer
And that's giving the party a lot of faith in their rolls for hitting and damage
Bad draw of the cards
Yet another case for how cool the Heavy Armor Master feat is. Really starting to grow on me if you want to be the tankiest dude alive. Turn those six 4 damage hits into six 1 damage hits, and maybe make it out alive.
Damn
you may make it out alive as an artillerist due to the flame cannon and tasha's caustic brew in combo you could block off an alley with the cannon using the flame to hold them back then assuming a five ft wide alley you could hit all of them with an up cast tasha's caustic brew and wait a few turns till they die
@@noahhager1187 why wouldnt they just clear the acid of themselves or shoot you to break concentration
@@jakepietrzak7552 the acid is spawned by magic, and you can chuck that turret from around cover and replace it by expending spell-slots, if they don't path-find around they're running down a literal corridor of death to try and reach you.

My *favorite* spell. The wizard in our party calls himself my character's "dealer" because I'm always saying "momma needs her haste!"
That actually gave me an idea. What if spells cold become addicting to non magical characters if used to much? The Barbarian or Fighter start to get the "shacks" if they aren't hasted or Blured often enough.
This is one of very few series I get excited to see updated.
