The original had a mistake, and the subclass is worse than I realized.  This is the corrected version.

Circle of Wildfire

My Patron only ad-free early release.  Now this druid subclass is criminally underrated.  I'll go over why in this video.

My Circle of Stars analysis

My Patron early release (barely early), going over the Circle of Stars druid - one of the best druid subclasses very clearly I think.

Currency rate changes in Jan

I received this email today from Patreon, this should only affect international patrons (as I collect in US currency), and should be good news as most currencies have done well against the US dollar this year:

Hey there,

For those of you managing global audiences, you’ll know that Patreon converts your tier prices to 2020-12-09 20:45:55 +0000 UTC View Post

The Artificer: Armorer

My review of the changes to Artificer in Tasha's, new infusions, but mainly the Armorer subclass.

Theoretical vs Practical Optimization

This one is a little technical, but when I look at optimization I make this distinction, and I should share why you don't see certain popularized tricks on this channel.

Bladesinger changes in Tasha's

How about 2 videos today?  If I don't release this one soon I'm going to drown under all the "what do you think about the Bladesinger changes?  How does it change your build video?" questions, so here it is!

Update on this week's video

Normally I share the video coming on Monday on Thursday or Friday morning, so I figured I would post to let you know I haven't forgotten, and the video is basically complete, but this week I had some issues with wonky graphics on the screen.  I made the fixes, but then found some other glitchy graphics, so now I'm on round 3.  Looks good this time, but processing and uploading the video takes some time.  Expect to see this week's video perhaps later today, or on Saturday.

Trying out the new Baldur's Gate

A little different this week, I've never done a "let's play" before, but being that this game is based on D&D 5e I figured it's a good time to try one.

Arcane Trickster build - early release for Patrons!

I have to say that doing these builds I keep learning.  I knew this build would beat baseline damage no problem, but the degree of which it did was a surprise.  Don't get on this gnome's bad side...

The Guardian: A tank for D&D

This build is definitely a tactical tank, using battlefield positioning, spells, rages and echos to hit hard, protect their allies, and themselves.
