After my Expert Classes hiatus, I'm back to the multiclassing 2nd part I promised a few weeks ago.

Is the Martial/Caster divide bigger than ever in One D&D?

I give my thoughts regarding this common opinion.

2nd Part of my review of Expert Classes - Feats

I didn't forget Lightly Armored, but titling the video "Epic Boons, Fighting Styles and the Lightly Armored feat for One D&D the Expert Classes Playtest" seemed pretty wordy.

View Post

Expert Classes - Feats video (1 of 2)

I cover 30 of the 50 feats in the new UA

Also, as a special treat, if you watch this before Monday, you'll know exactly where the google ad spots are going to be that you don't have to watch.

Detailed Analysis of the Rules Glossary

I had some feedback, including from Patrons, that they would prefer a detailed analysis of the One D&D Playtest over "first impressions". I've heard your feedback and so here's the first of my detailed analysis of the Playtest, starting with the rules Glossary.

THIS IS GOING PUBLIC TOMORROW, SO WATCH TODAY FOR AN AD-FREE VIDEO.

The Basics of Optimizing multiclassed builds

This is part 1 of 2 - stay tuned for Jump points on classes. I'm off next week, so part 2 will be coming the following week.

Every edition makes D&D better

A trip down memory lane.

And this one was missed too!

This one will be released in one week publically.

Missed video!

Hey Patrons, (thanks to MC) I missed posting my Armor of Agathys series on Patreon (including today's video). This video here will be released on Friday publically.

The highest spell DC I could muster

The cheese is running with a "build" that has the highest Spell DC I could get.

In addition, let's just talk about having a character that is more likely to have their spells stick.

Greater Invisibility Build

This is the follow up to the last video on invisibility.

View Post

Building around being invisible

Tired topic but there's a lot of things I wasn't able to find in articles/videos about invisibility. In this video I cover:

How invisibility works and why we want to use it

Every way we can become invisible

How to use it in a build

A different sort of video

Big change of gears here, but I figured I would answer some questions that come up regularly about how to become a professional YouTuber, share some candid behind the scenes stuff, as well as how you make videos, how income is earned and how much it is, and what your work days look like in this business.

Testing the One D&D playtest

This is a bit of a different video because I actually was approached by a sponsor about playing D&D as the sponsored video. I got together with some Archmage patrons and gave it a go.

One D&D and Backwards compatiblity

We have been promised One D&D will be "completely compatible" with our existing 5th edition books. In this video I explain how this is clearly not true.

Spelljammer - where are the rules?

This seems like a phoned-in set of books from WOTC.

Spelljammer: Thri-Kreen

There was an editing error in the first version that clipped about 30 seconds out. Here is the corrected video. The initial post has been deleted.

Let's play an Ooze in D&D

The Plasmoid is pretty cool honestly.

This race is maybe game breaking?

The Hadozee. I think the designers might have been sleeping on this. 150 ft move? What?

Spelljammer: The Giff

If you wanted to play a hippo with a gun in D&D, then your wish just came true!

Autognome: Take 2

2 things were pointed out to me regarding my initial autognome video. First was that it's not clear if armored casing allows you to wear a shield or not, second was that it's not clear if the bladesinger attack action allows you to complete casting a cantrip with a casting time of more than one action. I've added some edits to point out these grey areas.

Spelljammer races: The Autognome

The first construct race in D&D. Let's take a good look.

Spelljammer: The Astral Elf

I will be releasing on video (these will be shorter videos) discussing each race in Spelljammer. Not sure yet, but I may release these publically faster than my normal 2/week releases. We start with the Astral Elf.

Spelljammer content coming!

Hey Patrons, just wanted to keep you updated on my video schedule. I've been working on some Armor of Agathys focused videos, but I'm not sure what the schedule for release will be for those, so I'm waiting to figure that out so I can finish them up with any patron call-outs before I post them here.

Coming this week I'll be posting my initial Spelljammer content. I get access to the official book tomorrow, so I'll be reading and planning videos to cover the new races, other character options, and likely the ships and ship combat (and anything else in the book I figure is worth a video).

That content will be posted here as soon as complete and it will start going public this Friday, so keep your eyes open for posts here because as always they'll be posted here without monetization until I make them public.

Sincerely,

Chris

Focusing on Find Greater Steed

Going a different path than the last build, this character picks up Find Greater Steed and shares some great spells with it,

View Post

The Knight in Shining Armor

This is the first of 2 builds that will focus on mounted combat. This build uses the Find Steed spell, making the most out of the shared spells part of Find Steed.

Edit: Due to a change in the build plan, the original ability score spread and v human bonuses were presented incorrectly in the video. Here's the correct character sheet: https://ddb.ac/characters/79983768/0wuFMm

How to FOCUS on mounted combat

Making a mounted character is easy...buy a horse. Focusing on mounted combat is a bit more tricky. I discuss the pitfalls and potential solutions.

The Hexadin

Not a new concept, but I realized I never did a hexadin build on this channel...

When to smite with your paladin

This is information I've covered before, but buried in bigger videos. I lay down when I think you should smite with your paladin and when to save those slots for spells.
