I really want to Fifth addition to drop pretext and just make game take place in the Planscape setting or something, at this point it basically is when you have playable races like tieflings and aasimar and I think the Planscape setting leans into how a lot new comers and people to day play the game. I remember and this seems to be a common reaction, but I grew up with my dad's second addition. Then came across videos of people playing fifth and I was like WTF are tieflings and why does every game have one guy playing one.
Honestly the first I ever heard of D&D in a positive light was Planescape torment and I did even know that Planescape was a D&D setting until years later. If I had known better, I would have gotten into the hobby much soon. I also know several other people my age who had the same experience. If 5e had come as Planescape or at least up out some material marketed that way, my friends and I probably would have bought it when it came out in 2014. Again I have meet several other people my age like this.
@@catominor7306 For 20 years, I've said Torment has the best story that I've seen in a video game or any other medium. I'd be shocked if that changes at any point in the next 20.
The "milk" scene alone will make for an epic role-play encounter, lol. Thanks for the in-depth coverage on the Bariaur. I never heard of them before, but looking forward to using them in a game someday.
Imagine a bariaur handing you a glass of milk. You drink it and say, “wow, that’s pretty good!” The bariaur smiles, and replies, “Thank you, I made it myself.”
Imagine being a Bariaur being served cow milk in a human establishment. He might be disappointed with how impersonal it was; and that he would like to spend some time chatting with Bessy.
I can't wait! I just hope when you do the playable races you do a few playable undead overviews as well. I know you've covered bodak's and other intelligent undead, but it would be cool to get an overview of how some play
The best race that came out of planescape setting, far better than the modron. Naturally free thinkers and independent. They roam the upper planes and the outlands. The Scottish love them... too much... some whisper. Transcendent order for life!
Thank you very much for the video. The goaty boys sure are underused in D&D aren't they? Extraplanar or not, they sound like the perfect race for an adventurer. Can they eat a tin can like a goat? :p Does their milk taste like goat milk? Would they get along well with goliaths? Sounds like they have a similar society (though I bet the bariaur would be seen in the same light as a half-dragon visiting kobolds.) Was I hearing you correctly when you said the bariaur are ancient enough to remember the state of the planes before it became the great wheel? Like Queen of Chaos and the establishment of the baatezu and tanari races old? If so that is incredible.
Yep, they are that old, however, not very many keep any sort of records so, its all just stories. They can't eat a tin can, but they can eat things like cactus and dandelion root and raw chickpeas. Their milk tastes like whatever they have been eating lately as well as just generally goatish, they don't produce milk that tastes like human milk. They would get along well with Goliaths and Firbolg, but unfortunately consider them to be giant kin... "Bad Blood".
Hello AJ, great video! Love the pic's you used. Appreciate the description of there life style and demeanor, that helps so much when it comes to roll playing a creature I know nothing about. The self milking thing I find interesting and really gross at the same time. What a way to earn an inspiration toke, drink some fancy milk and not offend your host. Thanks AJ & have a great day.
The very first time I played Planescape, my character was a bariaur. It's my absolute favorite setting and I am eagerly awaiting Planescape 5e as well as an updated bariaur playable race.
Party hosted by the bariaur find out they were served bariaur milk. When the bariaur explain why that's normal in their culture, they respond as such: ... Druid and Barbarian: Think it makes sense, and are polite. Bard: Decides to be a pervert about it. Wizard and Rogue: Are culture-shocked. Cleric and Paladin: Are repulsed and discussed.
You know, if you think overly long videos are bad, there are people that prefer them. I have to crunch numbers and do math all day, which seems to free up the parts of my brain that can take in more liberal-arts style stuff (D&D). Long videos of yours in the background are a staple of reminding me that there are things other than numbers that exist.
My main concern is that a lot of the information would be sourced from two third party, non-canon documents that are very hard to get hold of. But I hear you!
I'd always thought that they were a combination of a bighorn sheep rather than a goat... funny thing is that the monstrous manual seems to back that up. Rams and ewes are terms for sheep. Not goats.
Bariaurs do not have a lot of enmity with centaurs, but please do *not* constantly compare bariaurs to centaurs. Bariaurs see themselves as their very own race, thank you very much.
The neutral good alignment of the average Centaur and Chaotic Good alignment of the average Bariaur indicates that they would get along well, plus they share a lot of the same family values and dietary requirements, though the Centaurs can and do often eat meat (being omnivores) which the Bariaur most certainly do not.
Depends on what sort of minotaur. They do consider the race as unfortunately touched by evil, but individuals may be good and noble.beings, so they give them the benefit of the doubt.
jacketed bullets and rifled barrels? who tf is walking out to the party with an m16? im talking about arquebus, firelances, handegonnes. aut to take two turns to reload, and deal ~4x damage of corresponding bow or crossbow, have a a minus 2 or 3 to hit, and a slight bonus to crit.
You're telling me you don't want the situation where your party is drinking their milk and then they spit it all over the place because the hostess says it is her own milk.... Then they are consequently kick out of the house for being rude by not drinking and complementing said hostesses milk.... Because that sounds funny to me.
Of the many centaur-like races in D&D Hybsil impress me much more than Bariaur, or Centaur. I can respect Bariaur's martial culture, and I LOVE the idea of a Bariaur monk dealing out powerful kicks with it's hind legs. However Hybsil impress me much more with their overly heroic outlook on live and their hit and run tactics in combat, of which I'm sure the Bariaur would respect the former and despise the latter.
Amazing how deep the lore goes on some of these. I love learning about the culture of fantasy creatures, especially planar ones we don't hear much about
I seriously love learning about d&d races I’ve never heard of I’m thinking of making a character of if you know any other not known character races you should make a video of it
Ah, bariaurs; the forgotten third children of Planescape. Tieflings (and their lesser planetouched relatives) took off like wildfire, and even githzerai and githyanki are solid B-ier races, but nobody has really given a damn about bariaurs since the 90s. Even their own dedicated splatbooks, the Complete Book of Bariaurs and the Book of Bariaur Belief, had to be released online as netbooks by their author because TSR just didn't give a flip.
Hey AJ, I don't know if you've read the Malazan Book of the Fallen novels, but I was wondering if there is anything in the D&D lore that would equate the Trygalle Trade Guild. A company that travels the outer planes in order to trade with anyone and everyone seems like a thing that should exist in D&D.
I love a good goat man, ran a fun chaotic evil satyr big blasty sorcerer but rolled high stats all around so he was just as likely to physically beat you down as immolate you
I hope you meant the milk will be provided by the hostess, Drinking humanoid milk is one thing but mail humanoid milk is just plain funny to think about!
Hostess may specify female but host is actually gender neutral. Like saying Laura Bailey is a voice actor isnt wront even though shes a actress. English is stupid
You know what would make a good planner race for planescape is the deep imaskari! I mean it wouldn't be too hard to put them in, they already had colonies in the plane of air and water in official lore it wouldn't be too much of a stretch of them sending explorers or colonies to the Outer planes. Also Why does it seem the forgotten realms are more technologically advanced then the Outer Planes? 🧙♂️
Okay so no “Pretty Boy” jokes or taunts, don’t knee jerk spit out the milk they offer as drinks, and don’t try to physically restrain them for their own safety and don’t try to touch their musical instruments. Appearance wise they are human sized goat centaurs and will or can ram you almost as hard as a regular centaur. They are a nomadic tribal society with a few rules that may need explaining and are exclusively herbivores. Also when they warn you that is possibly the only one you’ll get. Noted for the future.
I imagine you'd have to be good friends and also meet an immediate tactical need. A Bariaur would fight like light cavalry or mounted archer but not both at the same time. Now if they're friends with a small creature archer, like a halfling ranger, they can focus on developing their spear skills and toss the short bow on their back to be their turret and now the enemy has to deal with a fast light tank at both melee and range.
A room full of these guys celebrating and smoking would be interesting... extraplanar hot box with a bunch of proud goat people? Sign me up. Would they be offended if I told them I was lactose intolerant?
Thanks. Hey AJ, I wanted to ask you something, when an Empyrion becomes a god and fuzes with the soul of their first worshiper and later on obtain their cluster of souls, how's is it like for them to undergo the whole process and spend the rest of their existence like that? Thanks again for the vid!

@@AJPickett Thanks sir! And waw this sounds both amazing, crazy and awesome all at the same time! No wonder why Paladins and Clerics are so divouted to gods, you literally become a higher being by doing this!
Hey I just wanted to ask you to try and do a video on a character from dragon Lance called maelstrom an Uber red dragon that was banished to the elemental plane of fire.
Maybe, but you'd have to account for the change from bipedal to quadrupedal, and any change in height and weight. They'd also likely have different ability score increases.
@@supersmily5811 I thought about the quadruped perspective with the equine build feature that Centaur get- but goats are crazy good at climbing, I'm not sure if Bariaur would actually be at a slower climbing speed than humans. Height and weight is an easy adjustment And the ASI is already treated as a variable in many tables.
@@matthewjennings7645 not all goats. But yeah, most bariaur are really good at climbing trees though, that's quite true. They don't seem to mind sleeping in elven canopy villages.
@@AJPickett If you were to suggest ASI for a Bariaur player character, what would it be? Would they need different suggestions based on plane or gender?
"One of the more common... races." Okaaaay, but that can't be true since we don't have them as an option and they've appeared in exactly 0% of 5e content. Maybe they WERE common, but if so they've definitely gone the way of Epic Dragons and other vanished species after the fall of 3.5e. Side Note: Interestingly, from what I could find online they're about the same size as 5e Centaurs, but much lighter, capping out at around 350 lbs. while the playable race Centaurs (Not the monster Centaurs, which are larger) cap out at 840 lbs. So that's strange.
They are a playable race from the Planescape setting (which I am eagerly awaiting a rendition of for 5e). However, since they are planar creatures, one would rarely find them on the material plane or any typical D&D setting that takes place there.
There was 3 that happened in D&D in canon The First was the Time of troubles which explains 1st edition going to 2nd edition. It was caused by Ao, the Overgod of the Forgotten Realms, growing sick of the indifference of the gods to their worshippers, something catalyzed when some of the evil gods stole sacred tokens from him. As a result, he banished the gods from the heavens to the mortal world, condeming them to walk amongst mortals for a time. A huge brawl broke out, at the end of which the gods were reluctantly allowed back, after it being made clear that their power would now depend on their worshippers, and the gods of Death, Murder, Magic and Tyranny had all been killed off; the first three were replaced by mortals, the latter (Bane) would be replaced by his son for a while until a plot restored him to life at his son's expense. The Second was the Spellplague, when Mystra (Goddess of Magic used to be known as Midnight) died and caused all magic to basically die for 10 years. Which explains why 4e is the way it is and why magic seems weaker compared to 3.5 and 2e. Basically 3.5 going to 4e style of mechanics. Then the Third was the Second Sundering which basically put things semi back to it was, due to Abeir (a twin planet/plane to Toril was pulling away and swapping each other and now Dragonborn are here). It also remade the tablets of Fate. This was basically 4e turning into 5e bringing back how magic used to work although it is slightly different and EXTREMELY weaker than what it was before for mortals compared to the insane shit in 3.5
Oh also during the end of the spellplague Mystra was replaced but this new goddess of magic renamed herself to Mystra. So this explains why magic is in the spell SLOTS instead of spells known sort of thing
@@WhyYouMadBoi Those things happened to the Forgotten Realms, not the entire Multiverse, or Oearth, Krynn, and many other worlds would have noticed, too. Just the Realms planar structure changed, not the rest of the multiverse.
@@AJPickett Only the Realms Cosmology was affected, Mystra and the Sundering and such only happened in the Realms, not the rest of the multiverse such as Sigil, Krynn, Oearth, etc. So I heard Sundering of the Multiverse, which is incorrect. It was more like a Sundering of the World Tree Cosmology.

... if that is your only metric, sure, yes.
I think it'd be pretty easy to play a 5e Satyr statblock reskinned to be Bariaur
Maybe, but you'd have to account for the change from bipedal to quadrupedal, and any change in height and weight. They'd also likely have different ability score increases.
@@supersmily5811 I thought about the quadruped perspective with the equine build feature that Centaur get- but goats are crazy good at climbing, I'm not sure if Bariaur would actually be at a slower climbing speed than humans.
Height and weight is an easy adjustment
And the ASI is already treated as a variable in many tables.
@@matthewjennings7645 not all goats. But yeah, most bariaur are really good at climbing trees though, that's quite true. They don't seem to mind sleeping in elven canopy villages.
@@AJPickett If you were to suggest ASI for a Bariaur player character, what would it be? Would they need different suggestions based on plane or gender?
Personality and culture reminded me of the Wemic.
Rewatched Wemic video they aren't as similar as I remembered
@@ernestlam5632 lol, so glad you did 🙂
I have a question.. now that the MTG universe has now been officially connected to the multiverse, are you going to do a video about the Eldrazi?
I would just be information you already know.
@@AJPickett thanks for actually answering me!!! This is the first time someone replied with a legit response, this is why I love this channel.
@@Virgil_Vincent no problem! I think the Eldrazi are important to the MtG cosmology.
Absolute favorite race.
"One of the more common... races." Okaaaay, but that can't be true since we don't have them as an option and they've appeared in exactly 0% of 5e content. Maybe they WERE common, but if so they've definitely gone the way of Epic Dragons and other vanished species after the fall of 3.5e.
Side Note: Interestingly, from what I could find online they're about the same size as 5e Centaurs, but much lighter, capping out at around 350 lbs. while the playable race Centaurs (Not the monster Centaurs, which are larger) cap out at 840 lbs. So that's strange.
They are a playable race from the Planescape setting (which I am eagerly awaiting a rendition of for 5e). However, since they are planar creatures, one would rarely find them on the material plane or any typical D&D setting that takes place there.
Playable centaurs in 5E are desperately trying to be Bariaurs! It's obvious.
Supportive Comment.
I'd hate to get one in my garden.
Looks like Stranger from Oddworld.
Bauriars would be a good fit for a greek themed campaign.
Alright, so another unique race to add to the planes for my world i guess
I have new glasses, and the multiverse have never looked so good with four legs :)
Yes
So how would a bariaur become alone?
They travel extensively, they frequently go off on adventures.
@@AJPickett ok thanks
They look like a center and a minotaur had a child
Brilliant
Man, I do not like these guys. Though I am often compared to a dwarf so I suppose that's fitting.
Great video as always.
Fair enough!
Whoever gets triggered by Renaissance firearms in D&D clearly haven’t played D&D long enough and also lack creativity replaced with ignorance.
Turning a gaming session into a stupid gun debate... yeah ok I see your point.
@@rachdarastrix5251 I think it has more to do with not fitting the midevil fantasy theme, that people associate with D&D.
@@agsilverradio2225 early guns did overlap with knights in armor. But I can see people not wanting it to mix with their fantasy setting.
I saw these and thought of GWs Centigors
About the milk I honestly wouldn't care if it was from my host if it's good it's good
What Sundering of the Multiverse? Where is this detailed?
There was 3 that happened in D&D in canon
The First was the Time of troubles which explains 1st edition going to 2nd edition. It was caused by Ao, the Overgod of the Forgotten Realms, growing sick of the indifference of the gods to their worshippers, something catalyzed when some of the evil gods stole sacred tokens from him. As a result, he banished the gods from the heavens to the mortal world, condeming them to walk amongst mortals for a time. A huge brawl broke out, at the end of which the gods were reluctantly allowed back, after it being made clear that their power would now depend on their worshippers, and the gods of Death, Murder, Magic and Tyranny had all been killed off; the first three were replaced by mortals, the latter (Bane) would be replaced by his son for a while until a plot restored him to life at his son's expense.
The Second was the Spellplague, when Mystra (Goddess of Magic used to be known as Midnight) died and caused all magic to basically die for 10 years. Which explains why 4e is the way it is and why magic seems weaker compared to 3.5 and 2e. Basically 3.5 going to 4e style of mechanics.
Then the Third was the Second Sundering which basically put things semi back to it was, due to Abeir (a twin planet/plane to Toril was pulling away and swapping each other and now Dragonborn are here). It also remade the tablets of Fate. This was basically 4e turning into 5e bringing back how magic used to work although it is slightly different and EXTREMELY weaker than what it was before for mortals compared to the insane shit in 3.5
Also all of the details on the Spellweavers, which is still being developed.
Oh also during the end of the spellplague Mystra was replaced but this new goddess of magic renamed herself to Mystra. So this explains why magic is in the spell SLOTS instead of spells known sort of thing
@@WhyYouMadBoi Those things happened to the Forgotten Realms, not the entire Multiverse, or Oearth, Krynn, and many other worlds would have noticed, too. Just the Realms planar structure changed, not the rest of the multiverse.
@@AJPickett Only the Realms Cosmology was affected, Mystra and the Sundering and such only happened in the Realms, not the rest of the multiverse such as Sigil, Krynn, Oearth, etc. So I heard Sundering of the Multiverse, which is incorrect. It was more like a Sundering of the World Tree Cosmology.
