What's next?

It's been a minute since I've done one of these, time to start anew.What do you want my next video to be about?

Should I Rename/Rebrand 'Min/Max Munchking' Into 'Darth Bober'? :D

It's been a while, I know... I'm well and kicking hard, but the new videos are still trickling in slower than whatever 'fast enough' is. I'm working on new videos and will try to publish them all ASAP. However, I need some counseling from you, my most ardent supporters. Since I've clearly started uploading more non-D&D-powerbuilding videos lately, and will continue doing so, I feel like the change needs to be addressed somehow. The "ku*wa bober" memes have been floating around online social circles for a while no...

Rocket Breakdown

Team RocketThis is the first time I’m doing a breakdown of a whole party, one that specifically pours all the might and magic into one of their members, a Tabaxi speedster. I decided to focus only on the mechanics that accomplish a specific goal of making the cool cat humanoid run, or rather fly, as fast as possible. I may refine the concept with other, non-relevant mechanics at some point, but that’s a consideration for future me. Right now, I will focus strictly on as much speed as possible within confines of 5e ruleset. For the most part...

Eldritch Shadow v2.0

Custom Lineage (Tasha)One big flaw of this character that always bothered me was the lack of darkvision to combine with Shadow Blade’s intrinsic synergy with dimly lit and dark environments. On the other hand, Variant Human’s level 1 feat is hard to pass, this character is very feat-loaded even for a Fighter.Tasha’s Custom Lineage brings the best of both worlds. Now you can both have darkvision and take a feat at level 1. This does change the……Point Buy…a little:STR: 9DEX: 16CON: 15INT: 13WIS: 13CHA: 8Which knocks down your maximum ...

Nova vs. DPR Characters - Which is Better?

So, nova characters, ones that are capable of dumping insane amounts of damage in one or two rounds. I’ll be talking specifically about single-target damage dealers, not your generic Fireball Evocation Wizard AoE damage spell junkies. My impression is that nova characters are often looked down upon by the 5e community, because they're almost always very resource inefficient. While that is certainly a factor to consider at all times, in my opinion, assessing them as any less than characters that have very effective and efficient Damage Per...

Ultimate Assassin Tashified

I should've done this one and a few others a long time ago, but now's better than later or never, so here we go.Video will be done very soon too.I'll copy-paste the wall of text describing the changes below and also attach an entire guide file if you prefer it the old school way.Tasha UpgradesHalf-elf (PHB)Since Tasha, every race can have whatever ability score it wants, so Half-elf does fit this character a bit better than Wood Elf. +2 to DEX, +1 to WIS and +1 to CON are your starting racial ability bonuses.You do lose the Mask of ...

The Endless Problems With Nystul's Magic Aura... (VIDEO SCRIPT)

It’s been almost 3 weeks since my last Mechanics Mondays Wednesday edition video. I’m sorry for disappearing, I’m guilty on all charges, so to at least partially redeem myself, I will buy a D&D-related gift for one qualified viewer of this video. Keep watching, I am going to tell you how to qualify once you understand the context.Without further ado, let’s kick things off again with this series. On that last video, there were a few comments pointing out several potential issues with part of the combo used to decapitate your enemies, so ...

The "Decapitator" Video Script (Mechanics Mondays #20 Wednesday Edition)

Let's face it, hit points, saving throws, damage, all that… it sometimes takes way too much time, especially at high levels. What if you could just avoid all of it and simply end a bunch of annoying minions with a flick of a wrist?I’ve been sitting on this combo for a good while, indecisive whether to make an entire character around it or including it in these Mechanics Mondays Tuesday Wednesday edition videos. You can clearly tell which way I decided to go.It initially got brought to my attention by a member of my Patreon Discord serve...
