Nets in D&D

Be honest, how many of us avoid using nets because the rules for them are so weird?

Cleric Subclasses Ranking

The big one, 14 subclasses ranked.

Bards ranked

A small error in the final graphic shows Storm Herald ranked to the left of Artillerist when it should have been to the right.

EARLY release

OK, this one is early!

View Post

"Early" release...

Well, finished this yesterday and intended for June 18 release for non-patrons, but apparently set it for June 10 instead. So this isn't early, but it is non-monetized.

The Reborn

I noticed editing this that for all 3 lineages I said you get a +2/+1 to ability scores. This is correct, but alternatively you can choose +1/+1/+1 which I did not mention. This is true of Dhampir, Hexblood and the Reborn.

The Hexblood

I've got two shorter vids to share today, completing my look at lineages.

The Dhampir Lineage

This one I just finished but it's live tomorrow! Strike while the iron is hot so to speak...

The Undead Patron

Hopefully ad free early release.

Youtube Ads

I have received this notification from YouTube. The Patron early release videos are not monetized, but I can no longer guarantee they will be ad-free. 

If they do start putting ads on these videos, let me know, and I may consider posting them to a different site like Vimeo or something.

Blasting in D&D? Not so Hot

I discuss the problems with blast spells in D&D, and why I don't recommend them as a primary focus for your spellcaster.

The dirty truth

I must take at least some responsibility for DPR being used as a primary metric to evaluate builds, so this video exposes the truth - DPR is a pretty lousy tool in build evaluation. I go over the various reasons why, and discuss how useful DPR actually is in build evaluation.

Ten spells I ranked "Red" that deserved better.

I made a mistake. Actually, 10 mistakes. These are my corrections.

View Post

Ranking these spells "Red" was too generous

The worst, most awful, most repugnant spells D&D has to offer.

The Curse on this item turned out to be really good

Some of you know this story already (indeed, some of you were there), but this is the story of how a cursed item turned out to be really good for one of my characters in a campaign quite recently.

Challenging the party is good, but if you don't want to kill them, maybe think twice about using these baddies.
