Imagine being a DM when the bard says "I cast Animate Objects" and you start to say "okay roll-" and they pull out a bluetooth speaker and start singing.
If I was a DM and one of the players went to do a performance and legit started singing like this mid session I would give them that auto critical success. No joke.
I actually did this kinda in a Mutants and Masterminds game, played a dubstep cyborg and had different songs I'd play for different attacks. Amazingly another player ended up picking almost the same super powers but themed around a ghostly violinist, so we had a lot of cross genre mashups going on. Was pretty sweet.

Hey, we bards practice hard to not only learn magic but also an instrument, dance, song, etc. multiple of those even! We have colleges just like wizards too!
@@DemonicEngineer Which Bards can also get without Secrets for some reason. Why does the Bard have the ability to make creatures and animals gain sentience, and not the *CLERIC*?
@@ethanrose9682 Because it's an affront to god? Unlike the earthquakes, fire storms, blights and insect plagues. Those are all natural. But talking animals? No that's too far.
Being a Necromancer my favourite is Danse Macabre. I imagine him doing a short solo waltz before extending a hand to invite some skeletons to animate and join in. Then five skeletons send a volley of arrows at anyone unlucky enough to threaten us.
This is the kind of stuff Bards should really be known and worried about for, not the whole "trying to bed everything in a mile radius" thing people usually associate them with.
Honestly in one of my games a few months ago the bard and rogue ran a bait switch kind of thing where the bard would wow them while the rogue robbed them
God, Imagine a Necromancer singing this as they raise the dead... just less magical, but just as gleefully. "Meet your friends... Your old friends, I know it's hard to comprehend. But they're back now, they're on my side and it's you they'll apprehend." . Amazing work Cami! Stuck in my head now...
so I was skimming down the comment section to read some comments to this video till I found this....🤦♂. not because I find it silly, but because recently the necromancer in my campaign did this exact thing in a smugglers den. even with a little dance with his undead girlfriend, as his minions killed the goons and ruffians. still epic though.
@@ismaashawsome4685hell yeah that song is also amazing. I need someone to make a necromancer bard playlist, it would just be so fun summoning the undead to be your band and backup dancers/singers.
DM: okay you successfully sang a song so passive aggressive the guards seem to want to simultaneously applaud you and run away in horror , they do both gain 500 exp what would you like to do now?
My DM said that I can either use my reaction to make a skill check to identify what the event is casting, OR I can use my reaction to counterspell it. So basically, I have no idea if they're casting a high level spell or a cantrip, it's just a gamble. Is that right? Regardless, the hypothetical wizard should have immediately used his reaction to counterspell this bard.
The story is just that she came up with a bit of this song during a session she was playing, and she made the rest of the song later. You should watch her live streams
Not gonna lie, I'm here for the videos about this lovable tiefling bard. I need more of this in my life. I need to know more about her and her adventures.
You know what I love best about this? it's about 1 minute and 12 seconds of singing. 12 rounds of combat. Just long enough to be an actual 10 round (1 min) concentration spell, sped up, or a bard warming up/finishing off with a bit of concentrating in the middle. Bravo!
So, I know your post is a year old but just wanted to say.....it doesn't even have to be a spell. College of Creation Bards can animate nonmagical items. At 14th level, they can animate a number of items equal to their charisma modifier. So, assuming the Bard has plenty of 3rd Level or higher spell slots (the cost of using the ability more than once), they can basically pull off what is in the video. Best part is, the items animated by a College of Creation Bard don't require concentration and last up to 1hr by default, or until the item drops to 0 hp or the bard dies.

Thomas Silva admittedly it was already weakened after a drawn out fight with our party. I had my sorcerer cast animate objects on a carriage and a nearby crate of apples (the fight was in the market of the city we were at). Our cleric and fighter were having issues with the thing and I thought they needed the help before the damn thing ate them. The carriage managed to miss its attacks but the apple crate of all things was what finally managed to take out the last of the dragon’s health. The DM was kind enough to let me describe how the Black Dragon was preparing another breath weapon attack when the apple crate flew down its throat and caused it to choke to death on a mixture of acid, broken wood, and Granny Smith Apples.
this made me think of playing gaston as a caster, with one point in monk for shirtless armor. No one blast like gaston truely cast like gaston kills a kobold swarm with one chant like gaston. I had the whole thing written out and it was fun XD

The guards are distracted by your wit and charm. What song will you be singing, and what spell will you cast?” 😏”animate objects” 0-0
I love how the song starts out kinda cheery and then she starts getting more violent, and vulgar. Also I imagine two scenarios, including one where she sings this the whole 1 minute duration of the spell and then the objects just clatter to the ground at the end. Or she sings it WHILE they murder everyone xD
To be fair while watching and seeing how you described her it’s like she could be mollymoks sister sorry if I spelt his name wrong new to critical roll

I love this *way* to much! The animation, the music, everything! You get such a good sense of her personality here, and it's just... GAH I LOVE THIS TO MUCH FOR WORDS
Actually heard a story about a DM that ran a one-shot with all bards. They rolled high on persuasion and convinced the guards they were there to give them a private show. Everyone did thunder wave at once and had a mostly unprotected dungeon to delve after that. DM wasn't mad, just impressed.
*When the bard is pissed off* This video: *When the bard has murderous rage in a fight with the BBEG* The bard casting revival spells to revive the party whilst slamming the BBEG with a crate and seducing it, all in the same fight.
@@ryanrem This is my issue with the good/ evil axis of alignment. Too loaded. You need to know soooo much more about a situation to discern which they are. In this case whom she's singing to changes her good/ evil scaling. Where as no one should argue that she's lawful as she doesn't even try to take them alive. We only need to know what the character does, not to whom to discern their lawful/ chaos scale.
Ok, the fact that you got "Be Our Guest" into such a creative and amazing new song with Animate Object spells was just absolutely fantastic~!!! Your bard truly is one of Legends that I'm sure many will be idolizing for the musical and battle prowess. Just like Scanlan Shorthalt~
The evil cleric boss with the undeath and shadow domains: "Don't you disrespect me, little gnome! Don't intimidate or deride. You're in my dungeon, not your town. And I got friends on the other side..."
"Is...is she singing?" The second guard beside him scoffed. "Bards. It's what they do. Not much else after that. Let's bring this one in and call it a day, already." His step toward the Tielfing was his first and final mistake, as a javelin drove through his chainmail and pinned him to the tree behind him. "Chad!" the first guard exclaimed, realizing too late his comrade's demise. How regrettable he'd die this way, with only another two days before his promotion was in effect. The first guard charged in retaliation, another javelin thrust through him from his periphery and leaving him impaled upon it in the streets. The last he heard were the horrified shrieks of city-goers witnessing his murder. He had no lonved ones to think of, his parents died as slaves in the Imperial Mines below the Capital. If anyone would end this horrific fiend, it would be by the Emperor's hand alone, he ruled rightly, and he ruled fairly, for all were important, though some more than others. At last his vision blurred, and the clashing of guards against this menace was his departing tether to this life. Long Live the Black Emperor.
Vocal Vortex Studios you can only control 10 tiny objects with animate object and each one does 1d4 +4. What if instead you heat metal the objects and force them to stay stuck inside the person. This would cause instead 1d4 +4 from initial contact and a continuous 2d8 damage per object. So multiply that by 10 you get 10d4 and 20d8 in theory
This is both extremely violent but at the same time catchy little earworm that makes u want to dance and sing along as u are impaled by your own swords.
I used to be rather vexed over the prevalence and antics of bards in every game I've DM'd. But if playing a Bard is anything like this, then I'm starting to understand the appeal.
They say that power corrupts. Well, players tend to go overboard with the power to persuade, deceive, and seduce every NPC they meet. Worse, many players assume that anything is possible if you roll high enough. Hence, most players assume that the bard can seduce anyone or anything if they just roll really well.
Bards kinda depend on system and player mentality regarding the class. In Pathfinder, my best bard was a "power behind the throne." I threw out all kinds of buffs that made the rest of my party wargods. The bard herself couldn't really do much herself ironically.
Dead guy wakes up in the afterlife, Grim reaper: "Want to know how died. The dead guy shakes his head yes. Grim reaper: "You died in a catchy, but the deadly way."

This brought a smile to my father's face hearing this. He is an old school D&D, back during 1st edition, been playing ever since. When playing bards this is what he expects when using magic and their singing together. I have to say I love this and every other piece of music created, retold, and/or parodied that you have done @Cami-cat, Thank you.
Even though I've only seen Danni in this, Maw of the King, and the Assembly Song, I can't help but feel like this is something she would do. Thank you so much for these D&D videos Cami!

That was my favorite part!
I had to puase at the sudden turn of events Hahah 🤣😂
This and "fuck you up" were the best parts
This almost sounds like a Disney villain.
Almost?
haven't seen a Disney villain as charismatic as her
@@p.a.4512 Scar in Be Prepared
just remove the swears and the words that talk about gore and there a Disney villain (oh wait shes the hero lol)
well its a disney song in ori9ngial so yeah
Wizards: I’ve studied for years now, just to perfect the art of magic. I can finally control the strings of magic to my whim.
Bard: y’all heard my new song called “all star”?
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME
THE WORLD IS GONNA ROLL ME
I AIN'T THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHEED
SHE WAS LOOKING KINDA DUMB
@@PaganBradTube WITH HER FINGER AND HER THUMB
I want someone to use this on Critical Role, I seriously would die laughing if it happened. :D This is AWESOME!
Uh, i dont think theres a bard on the team? Unless there is a multiclass I didn't know about?
Brandon Boon pretty sure Caleb can get it, and he has a... decent performance mod iirc. Maybe that’d work?
@@sbollimpalli Ok that needs to happen just for the glorious sight of Caleb casting vicious mockery!
I wish Scanlan thought of this
@@RevRa-3 He has enough with his 'cube lightning' and 'BIGBY'S HAAAND!~'
I saw new camicat video and made haste to click. But forsoothe, I didst not see my demise of rolling on the floor possessed by a fit of mighty laughter.
Seriously this had me laughing my head off as I watched many times over.
Lycan Bloodborn Shoulder Angel: No no, he’s got a point.
@@오주환-b1n I know that reference!
Yes, yes, indeed 😁*~😜
Lycan Bloodborn Haha yes, one of my friends in a Discord server watched The Emperor’s New Groove recently, so maybe that’s where I got the idea. Either that or the truckload of varied memes referencing that, yeah.
She cast hideous laughter on you from a whole different plane.
The look on the guys faces when when said "your demise" be like: wtf?
I mean, her accordian did just start floating, so that probably helped.
@@rileyl2046 That and in dnd whenever someone says "Your demise" and you would like to remain alive the next words that tend to follow are usually Roll Initiative.
I love how the Animate Object spell is now just a whole bard subclass now. Literal army of things and weapons.
"They're my friends! They're my friends! It's your end!"
"...I cast Counterspell at level 5..."
Bard: I use my ring of spell deflection
As others pointed out, spell's already cast, you need dispel... which is vulnerable to her counterspelling.
Enemy Wizard: *Casts Counterspell*
His Friend: "Hey, I was listening to that... :("
Wizard: Once again, you have me to thank for your continued survival. Now, let me show you what real magic can do. (Casts 8th level magic missile)
*Awh* *Drast...*
@@buddyb3165 only to provoke an attack of opportunity and sneak attack from the very pissed off rouge who was enjoying the song "turn off my jukebox will you!"
Counterspell is basically the DnD equivalent of an ad popping up mid-song to a bard.
Agreed.
“I would like to roll go distract the guards as I sing and dance in a very specific way and secretly cast a spell.”
“Okay roll for deception or performance”
*rolls nat 20 at performance*
*sigh* “Okay. The guards are distracted by your wit and charm. What song will you be singing, and what spell will you cast?”
😏”animate objects” 0-0
If I ever play a bard I will 100% use this
Me as Draconian: I roll a 12 and use acid breath
If I ever play as a bard I will 10000% do that
I think she's doing more than just distracting in this video lol
I have no doubt that at least one of your enemies is clapping along to the song
"We have an army!"
"I've a pocket of ball bearings and Animate Objects..."
I just realized her “friends” are actually animated weapons and ammo (which explains the floating arrows)
Took you that long huh...
@@oblivion1924 Heh ahh cut him a break the song is awesome, he was distracted by the music. :)
Well yes
@@loka7783 I mean even the lyrics explain that??? XD sooo i feel like theres no reason to not know thats what she meant lmao
@@Myrathosghost Ya gotta admit though, it was a really good Performance check ya? :)
I love how the song starts out kinda cheery and then she starts getting more violent, and vulgar.
Also I imagine two scenarios, including one where she sings this the whole 1 minute duration of the spell and then the objects just clatter to the ground at the end.
Or she sings it WHILE they murder everyone xD
To be fair while watching and seeing how you described her it’s like she could be mollymoks sister sorry if I spelt his name wrong new to critical roll
@@dashelmarmion5961 *Mollymauk. Hope that helps!
A, I'd love to see that second scenario animated Sage. And this was a wonderful one to listen to after the parting glass song for mollymauk ;u;
Broke: Ladies and gentlemen!
Woke: My foes! My enemies!
I like how she makes mass murder seem totally innocent! XD
Edit: Thank you very much for the like Cami-cat. You're one of my favorite music RUclipsrs.
Took me way too long to realize this was a 'Be our guest' parody...
I didn't figure out what it was a parody of until I read your comment. I forgot it was a parody at all
I kinda wanna turn this into a musical stage performance..... using tiny drones carrying the items with transparent Nylon string so they actually look as if their floating... damn it it’s 3am how am I only just thinking of this!!!!
People tend to have their best ideas in one of 3 places, in showers, on toilets, or when your about to pass out
I'm already tying the string to the long swords
So did you ever do this?
I love this *way* to much! The animation, the music, everything! You get such a good sense of her personality here, and it's just... GAH I LOVE THIS TO MUCH FOR WORDS
The legendary trilogy has been completed
I have more planned I swear, I am just slow
@@Cami-Cat Issa ok take your time (and your work is amazing!)
@@indohhh Thank you very much uwu/
@@Cami-Cat You just made my day again!
@@Cami-Cat so how did defending the town actually go? It's been burning me up with curiosity.
the bard singing "this is the greatest show" as their party takes down a massive army against all odds
MOOD
I WANT TO SEE THIS!
1:09 has no right being that crisp
Singing this in dnd: Hey, nice song
Singing this irl: Somebody get this man a hug
Oh boy, more D&D music to use for my friends campaign!
* Tosses the Bard ten gold. * Nicely done. XD * Goes back to dodging animated objects being flung around. * O__O
*runs for life boat, get attacked by life boat's oars*
Sam Riegel would approve. We need a whole band of bards singing as they break the DM's world.
Actually heard a story about a DM that ran a one-shot with all bards. They rolled high on persuasion and convinced the guards they were there to give them a private show. Everyone did thunder wave at once and had a mostly unprotected dungeon to delve after that. DM wasn't mad, just impressed.
I am surprised how long this D&D character of yours has survived.
*When the bard is pissed off*
This video:
*When the bard has murderous rage in a fight with the BBEG*
The bard casting revival spells to revive the party whilst slamming the BBEG with a crate and seducing it, all in the same fight.
Bardbaren: *SINGS AGRESSIVELY*
BBEG: i love the kind of woman who would actually just kill me. 😏 I mean full on watermelon in the thighs carnage
Party: 🤨
Bard: 😉
@@awanderer3047 That bard, using True Polymorph on themselves, turning into a seductive... whatever clinks the kink.
Before i read the description i thought you sung all this for 1 inspiration point.
This screams chaotic good and I love it
Just chaotic
It could very well be chaotic evil 😄 depending on who she is addressing.
@@ryanrem This is my issue with the good/ evil axis of alignment. Too loaded. You need to know soooo much more about a situation to discern which they are. In this case whom she's singing to changes her good/ evil scaling. Where as no one should argue that she's lawful as she doesn't even try to take them alive. We only need to know what the character does, not to whom to discern their lawful/ chaos scale.
Ok, the fact that you got "Be Our Guest" into such a creative and amazing new song with Animate Object spells was just absolutely fantastic~!!! Your bard truly is one of Legends that I'm sure many will be idolizing for the musical and battle prowess. Just like Scanlan Shorthalt~
Animate objects is one of my favorite spells in 5e, and this captures a bard's use of it perfectly.
The evil cleric boss with the undeath and shadow domains:
"Don't you disrespect me, little gnome!
Don't intimidate or deride.
You're in my dungeon, not your town.
And I got friends on the other side..."
"Is...is she singing?"
The second guard beside him scoffed. "Bards. It's what they do. Not much else after that. Let's bring this one in and call it a day, already."
His step toward the Tielfing was his first and final mistake, as a javelin drove through his chainmail and pinned him to the tree behind him.
"Chad!" the first guard exclaimed, realizing too late his comrade's demise. How regrettable he'd die this way, with only another two days before his promotion was in effect.
The first guard charged in retaliation, another javelin thrust through him from his periphery and leaving him impaled upon it in the streets. The last he heard were the horrified shrieks of city-goers witnessing his murder. He had no lonved ones to think of, his parents died as slaves in the Imperial Mines below the Capital. If anyone would end this horrific fiend, it would be by the Emperor's hand alone, he ruled rightly, and he ruled fairly, for all were important, though some more than others. At last his vision blurred, and the clashing of guards against this menace was his departing tether to this life.
Long Live the Black Emperor.
i think they were in a bar do where does the tree come in
no wait it just might be a ship too
*Friccin Chad*
It's a ship you can see the steering wheel in the background
I have been trying to re-find this comment for an hour! I remembered reading it when this song was posted but I couldn't find it.
As a bard main, I can agree that this is accurate to any fight
And this is my new favorite parody
I've been constantly trying to memorise the lyrics so that if it's stuck in my head I can ACTUALLY REMEMBER THE WORDS
DM: The enemies storm into the tavern what do you do
Dice Gods: This should be fun I want to see a show
Bard: Rolls 20
Bard getting out weapon & instrument: *its show time*
20 on perform AND intimidate...
USING ANIMATE OBJECT ON THE ENEMY'S WEAPONS
Quite the interesting approach XD
Consider: Animated object AND heat metal.
Now they have no weapons OR armor
@@vocalvortexstudios2058 holy %$#
@@tiringsarcasm :)
@@talonus202 indeed, but who said we only had ONE bard?
Vocal Vortex Studios you can only control 10 tiny objects with animate object and each one does 1d4 +4. What if instead you heat metal the objects and force them to stay stuck inside the person. This would cause instead 1d4 +4 from initial contact and a continuous 2d8 damage per object. So multiply that by 10 you get 10d4 and 20d8 in theory
This is both extremely violent but at the same time catchy little earworm that makes u want to dance and sing along as u are impaled by your own swords.
By this point I just want a full-on D&D musical. This is so entertaining!
bomBARDed on google podcasts
Excitedly morbid, descriptive enough there's no guessing how she'll slay her enemies with so much fun!
Girl, your voice is very unique and also amazing. Makes me really happy that someone has that kind of tone.
I thought she was making a bunch of skeletons at first but this works too
Lich bard
Necrodancer
I demand the full song in all of its glory! Also, I think that a vers should switch to "Kill our friends"!
I used to be rather vexed over the prevalence and antics of bards in every game I've DM'd. But if playing a Bard is anything like this, then I'm starting to understand the appeal.
They say that power corrupts. Well, players tend to go overboard with the power to persuade, deceive, and seduce every NPC they meet. Worse, many players assume that anything is possible if you roll high enough. Hence, most players assume that the bard can seduce anyone or anything if they just roll really well.
even more fun to play a multi class of bard barbarian and warlock
Bards kinda depend on system and player mentality regarding the class. In Pathfinder, my best bard was a "power behind the throne." I threw out all kinds of buffs that made the rest of my party wargods. The bard herself couldn't really do much herself ironically.
@@raaston9761 ehem bardbarian
Dead guy wakes up in the afterlife,

A song cover/parody
This feels like the combat version of Merlin’s Higitus Figitus spell. Best watch out for the sugar bowl, he’s got a chip on his shoulder!
This put a smile on my face so fast I love it!
Edit also I love your characters design!
Oh Cami, Cami you beautiful person that was splendid! Here I was fresh home from work with the worst F´´´ my life mood, I start up RUclips and what do I find? This absolute masterpiece that bring the biggest smile I´ve had in a very long time. Thank you for living up my day. Also awesome that you picked the UA Collage of Creation. It is a really fun choose and makes one feel like the Nomad of Nowhere. :)
Welp time to start creating a encounter along the lines of this to throw at my friends when I finally get to DM (The legend of this Tiefling bard will 100% be going down as a tale in my world, hears to you Cami-Cat!)
This brought a smile to my father's face hearing this. He is an old school D&D, back during 1st edition, been playing ever since. When playing bards this is what he expects when using magic and their singing together. I have to say I love this and every other piece of music created, retold, and/or parodied that you have done @Cami-cat, Thank you.
Even though I've only seen Danni in this, Maw of the King, and the Assembly Song, I can't help but feel like this is something she would do. Thank you so much for these D&D videos Cami!
Me, crying in a corner horrorified: She's scary ;-;
npc: "Penny for your thoughts?"
My sorcerer coming down from a bad high: "How about ten and I shut you up for good?"
Dying guard: "so...no encore?"
Well with that joke you could say the audience DIED of laughter. Lol I’m sorry
Could say that it's a show to DIE for
Once-in-a-lifetime show.
Fun fact! I am inserting a bard enemy to the campaign and they're currently singing this in a tavern as the party walks in.
I have been looking for this video for so long. This was the video that got me into dnd and so far it had been great thank you!
I love these D&D songs because they're rather short but amazing. Keep up the good work!
I gonna show this to my sis who is usually a bard when we play Dnd
Roll for charisma
Her: twenty
Me: ok here’s a like and a sub
This sounds SO MUCH like a Disney song! Great work Cami!
It is
BBEG: Why do I hear boss music?
Bard: (Pulls out an instrument and starts singing.)
BBEG: Oh shit.
