    I feel the title doesn't emphasize just how fantastic this video is as a practical guide. It has just enough information to get an understanding of the character and provides a ton of options for both players and DMs to use. We need more videos like this.

      ​@@itslegendlore Combining sped-up drawings with extremely useful and well-formatted advice is borderline genius. I feel there should be some experimentation in regards to the title/thumbnail, as when I discovered your videos today, it wasn't obvious that the video is about "How YOU can use Kelemvor, the Judge of the Dead". But you've struck a gold mine with this stuff, you've got a really strong niche and your channel has the potential to explode.

    My current character is a Paladin of Kelemvor. Despite his label, my character (and frankly I myself) believes Kelemvor is actually more Lawful Good deep down, and is only Lawful Neutral because his responsibilities as God of the Dead require it, and thus I play him as believing that Kelemvor wants him to do good and prevent people from dying before their time. And Heaven HELP you if my character catches you desecrating a grave!

    sorry i know this video is a little old but OMG thank you for making this. Kelemvor is and always will be my favorite dnd god, no, character in all forgotten realms. The complexity of his character is amazing. He was a normal person like you and me but found himself in a place where he had to do a job that no one else could do without corruption. I bet if he had the chance for a person to replace him that wasn't insane, (being the god of death usually only bad people what that power) he would take it. He doesn't wanna do this. I had a campaign that ran 2.5 years where he was the undirect driving force of the campaign (had a lich BBEG).

    I have watched and listened to other content creators basically just read off the wiki and put some artwork in. What you have done is explained the character, how it fits in the world, their values, how to roleplay, NPCs, adventure hooks. 1000% this is the content as a DM I love. Great content! You earned a subscriber!

    I thing I do for my followers of Kelemvor in my worlds is that when they enter the order, they have to dig their own grave. It's a symbolic gesture to say that they will die one day and they are not afraid to.

  • @mickmcgrath8099

    I love Kelemvor as a character. We came up with a custom class for followers of him and have a pretty heavy kelemvor arc going on in our game right now. Our hexblade was originally serving a Demon Lord and was harvesting souls for Y'chak, preventing them from going to Kelemvor for judgment. Kelemvor gave him a chance to turn on the demon lord, transforming him into what we called a penitent class, planar hunter subclass. Reset the character to level 3 and as he earns kelemvor's favor by hunting the demons he once served, he quickly gains new powers acting out Kelemvor's judgment against Demons. The class combines features of vengeance paladin, Ranger warlock, grave cleric, and Eldrich Knight into one class extremely good against the focus of his judgment (demons in this case) and just a powerful warrior when fighting others. Makes for a really fun redemption arc!

      @@itslegendlore Im just too used to the NWN and Living City (which can link to a Age of Worms campaign) Kelemvor that plain just doesnt do anything undead, but i guess it can indeed be interpreted as "oh instead of turning into a shadow or wraith, ill take control and make sure you reach the plane youll end up on". Still feels wrong for someone whose priesthood outright cant control nor make undead.

    Not Lycanthropy. Lycanthropy is werewolves. it would either be something like Pantherathrope or the Were creature all encompasing name of Therianthrope.
