If Gary used a hold spell, they why did he need arcane recollection? Or was switching to the hold spell a last mintue deal, and later he can use Flaming Hand of Fiery Doom later?
It has nothing to do with the bard class but the guy playing the class didn't know what he was doing. Earlier on when asked about it because he always played fighters he said something like, How much different could it be? Bards are great if played correctly.
The bard stuff at the start is awesome, it's my favorite part of the whole movie, especially the realization of: ".... Hide behind the wall of dead bards!!!"
aren't bards supposed to be absolutely uber? well, i would only know from the bioware games (pretty much all of them ^^), since we play another pnp system...
Bards are great if played well. They are meant to be the 5th character. They help the fighter, but only as support. The have a few backup thief skills but nothing truly impressive. And finally they have limited mage abilities. But again, they must be played well.
Bards are also extremely great OUTSIDE of combat, pursuasive, ability to play an instrument, comes in handy for making money, pickpocketing etc, a jack of all trades :)
Outside of combat they are useful but they still sometimes have a hard time doing THAT in my parties. Could someone please count the number of times the bard dies in this movie? Not just the vid, but the WHOLE movie?
Totally agree. Bards are mildly useful in combat situations. With spells and limited fighting abilities they are support at best. However, when in a village or city setting they shine. They earn extra coin because of their preformances but also they stand the best chance of getting the best contacts for the party. They can learn most of the information the party will need.
I remember one time our tiefling bard (I was a half-elf rouge named seth before he *sniffs* died during our raid on White Plume Mountain) managed to give us a full map of WPM with a description of several traps including the one that *sniffs* killed Seth
You had a tiefling??? Anyway, no matter how good the map is, never trust it. I was running a game once where the players found several magic rings and captured one of the guards. One of the guys got the guard alone and started torturing him about the rings. Of course the guard didn't know anything but the player didn't believe him. So the guard lied. Said fighter got greedy and took one of the better rings. Turned out to be a ring of sex change. No, I didn't cheat. It was always that. XD
Yes, we had a tiefling. He was named Thimp and he earned his own waffle by punching a polymorphed lich who looked like a kid before the lich killed him.
Wow. I never knew a DM who allowed a player to play a tiefling unless it was a super high powered game where everone was like level 15 or higher. And about the movie, I love it when the zombie takes the bard's hat at 0:19
Our DM dumbed down the tiefling and allowed him to gain all the good stuff as he leveled up. This movie can trigger some interesting convos, first Bards, than Tieflings, what's next? Paladins?
I'm playing my first roleplaying campain as a Bard and I must say that Bards are super Support class with Word of Creation (which I do all the time). I'm also half-dragon so I will soon get a feat that increases 1d8 fire dmg to all attacks :D
Forget the discussion of whether or not anyone noticed the Jedi Mind Trick on one of the earlier parts - Who else noticed the decidedly Star Wars-esque music cue when the Monk snatches the Light Saber?
Yep, likely means it was trapped out the ying yang. Gygax was the mastermind behind the most heavely trapped mod in existance. Legend says that not a single party has ever completed it on their first run through.
They did, he's the same guy. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. I just think there is little other reason to need to remove his name from the door that to disarm the trap, as homage to his most lethal dungeon, the Toom of Horrors. You can actually die before even entering it.
The sad thing is, I've had players abuse new character creation in almost that manner, back when I first started Storytelling. Hell I've had a player basically zerg the enemy with new bodies. I would never allow that now, but back then, damn, the things I let people get away with.
they were playing munchkin earlier "loot the room or kick down the door?" "kicking down the door" *joanna walks in* "ok thats everybody" and they pack up, if you look next to the DM books says "MUNCHKIN"
Even if the Paladin didnt leave he would still let them torture that demon because of one reason: All Paladin's are constantly focused on destroying all evil.
The bards I used to know from our roleplaying-Groups were alle usefull when it came to roleplaying^^ but in a fight even a caster is more resistant to damage^^
To those who post and watch this- please know that if this keeps people from buying the DVD, you're aren't taking money from some faceless mega-corp, but from struggling artists & gamers who devoted years of their lives to this... and collaborators like myself who are juggling multiple jobs and family to try to make things like this. Not to get preachy, but getting cheap and stealing from indie filmmakers is just lame. If you enjoyed this, please buy the freaking DVD! It's not that expensive!
