      Love this concept for a character! One note: As of the release of this video, the Haniwa playtest materials are missing a Speed.

      I'll be putting this in the feedback, but I just wanted to add that this race is slightly underpowered, which does take a bit of appeal out of the Haniwa. Small change I'd recommend is just adding resistance to poison damage in the Soul Shell feature. Also as someone else mentioned, no speed is mentioned

    Most of the pictures you see in this video were taken by Yo himself on a recent visit to a haniwa site! The art is from Ryoko's, created by Ognjen and Aleksa (credited on screen). You can find their instagram links in the description! I hope you enjoyed this deeper dive into Yo's creative process and how mythology, folklore, pop culture, and the real world can inspire your games! You can follow Yo on instagram here! instagram.com/yocean14/
    More interviews with Yo and other creators of Ryoko's coming soon (as well as regular videos!)

      Just to clarify, the ancient grave and haniwa in the outside you see are reconstruction and representations. Most original haniwas were found in broken pieces but there were signs some of them were repaired or replaced. There was an another bigger mound grave site nearby that was covered in vegetation but you can still clearly see the morts and three layers etc. Biggest of these Ancient Tombs sites belong to the one for the Emperor Nintoku in Osaka, which is bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China. Though Haniwa are more common place in northern countries like the one I am in (northern compared to Kyoto, not Tokyo as Tokyo was a part of the savage land back then --in 4th century).

    So applying the rules from Trent monk temple to rate races this is a pretty strong race as you gain 2 niche spells and 1 spell like ability that is very strong. Also you gain the benefits of being a construct without the downsides of being one.
    Certainly a very interesting race to play as.

    Love the lore behind this character option and I'm always down for options other than humanoid. However, I do think it's a bit overtuned as it gets access to its Clay Familiar, magical weapon attacks, construct abilities and two spells. I think if it had its construct abilities, clay familiar and maybe Spare the Dying instead of Ceremony and Sanctuary that would be more in line with other character options.

    I know that D&D already has goblins in it but the thought of having the Asian version the yokai goblin would be such a interesting cool ideas freshly since there's a lot of martial arts and wrestling themed around the yokai goblin just having like a monk with wrestling or throwing skills because of its race would be amazing

    • @yocean14
      @yocean14 9 месяцев назад

      Actually the other way around. There are no such Yokai as 小鬼 ko-Oni. It only appears on Japanese texts as translation of Goblin. There are no goblinoid equivalent in Asian mythos.
