      Runesmith Hey Logan! I found your channel from Jacob’s channel, and I’ve been watching both of your guy’s videos for a couple months now. I got introduced to D&D late last year, so I’ve really been enjoying the tips and tricks from both of your channels. I just wanted to ask: could you or Jacob make a video on how your whole group met and started playing D&D together? You seem like a tight knit group, and I think it’d be really cool if you guys did that. Either way, really love your stuff! :)

Tri-kreen normally don't get any languages (except for tri-kreen, who is a purely nonverbal language that nearly nobody can understand or even speak, and of course telepaphy)

      While I don't necessarily remember how they did it, I did find that there is a player stat block for thri-kreen in the 4e Dark Sun setting. We always played 3.5, so they might have adjusted it somewhat, but if they did not use that, they probably just homebrewed it, as there are guidelines to creating a player race from a monster race.
      It is presumed that any player character, regardless of race, except for certain special cases or personal character backgrounds, can speak Common, so they had common, thri-kreen, and any extra languages they knew from their intelligence (which I think one of them was kinda dumb, so only knew those two, but the other knew at least draconic, which I remember becuz I also spoke that one.)

    I once played a Oath of Conquest Paladin that hired a Mezzoloth. The Mezzoloth would assist the Paladin in combat, and would demand 2gp every day. That money was easy to come by within the campaign, so i basically had a follower. The Mezzoloth grew so familiar with being hired to my bloodline, that when i next played a Aasimar Fighter (Daughter of the Paladin), the Mezzoloth would always refer to them by their father's name.

      That's an interesting thought, but in 5e lore, they were created for the Blood War, which was already in progress. But you could say that, while they didn't start it, the yugoloths want it to keep going, for business' sake. On the note of the Blood War's beginning, in my personal canon, Asmodeous and all the other original devils used to actually be demons, and the Nine Hells were actually Abyssal layers, but they split from the Abyss, so the Blood War is actually a civil war of sorts.

    I always thought Yugoloths are extremely interesting and underrated. First of all the motivation : they do what they do for themselves and because they like it. Devils do stuff for themselves too but they are worried about the hierarchy, the bureaucracy, the endless conflict, the struggle for power. They must be stressed af. Demons too are egotistical but must always be edgy af, the whole chaos and destruction thing, the endless conflict, schemes upon schemes just to conquer a tiny layer of abyss for themselves. Yugoloths on the other hand do it for the fun and the profit. That's refreshing. They roam the planes searching for the best bidder, who will pay them to do something they actually enjoy and would do anyway.

    Merrenoloths are probably the chillest of the bunch when it comes to Yugoloths.

    What constitutes a "Fiend" in D&D?
    I've heard both devils, yugoloths, demons, vampires and plenty of undead monsters being called such.

    • @Millstone1985
      @Millstone1985 5 лет назад +25

      In 5e D&D, a fiend is a creature native to the Lower Planes, such as a devil, yugoloth, demon, rakshasa, or succubus. Because the game has a one-creature-type limit, it is not possible to be both undead and a fiend.

  • @jamesbiggs8397
    @jamesbiggs8397 4 года назад +2

    I like these guys because theoretically they're hella easy to integrate as henchmen, give an alternative to combat by bribing/hiring, have cool designs, and if you're smart you can recruit them for free by charming them & asking for their name or using some sort of mind reading power. A magic Illithid could most certainly extract the name of weaker Yugoloths and have strong slaves to go around and collect prisoners for dinner. Or get so many weak Yugoloths together to pin down a stronger one to mind read & work your way up the chain.

    That origin is just what the Yugoloths want you to believe. Yeah, they're just untrustworthy mercenaries. No planes shattering plans here. Move along. (Also hell no to the idea that 3 Nycaloths with 5e stat blocks wrecked ancient Myth Drannor)

    If yugoloths existed in real life... arcanaloth who retrieves every source of knowledge for me and then also writes a friend of mine who is an ex-friend because one of us made a mistake (and I don’t know who and I’m sure she doesn’t know who either but decided it was me because she has less intelligence and thusly needs someone to blame it on) a “sorry” note that isn’t really a sorry note because it’s neither of our faults but is convincing enough that she thinks it is.
