Dungeons and Dragons : Tips, Tricks and Secrets!

[handysmurf210]

planning to run a cleric that uses the knowledge domain as a purpose or drive in life were starting at level 5 in a pathfinder campaign an its been like 10 years sense i have played D&D would you guys be willing to help me with some ideas so my character isn't broken to the point of being a indifference to my team?

[TheMinnimacca]

Hey Guys I'm totally new to D&D i'm really looking forward to play this with my friends, I picket up the started edition of amazon decided to play wizard so if theirs any tips you could give Id love to here because my friends all tease me saying I'm going to be rubbish at the game so please help me out :D

[Mikeinatorable]

@TheMinnimacca Think before you do. I play a sorcerer--the key is to be the calm mind in the sea of testosterone that DND fights can sometimes be. The fighter wants to shield bash the main baddy, the Rogue is trying to backstab said baddy and your archer is shooting at other mobs, but nobody else but you is noticing the cultist who's about to summon some demon or whatnot. That's what magic-users are for--the intellect and the power to get what needs to be done, done.

Fos Ro Dah!!!! 

[DarkAsterd]

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!! ... *yeah*

[wapplesauce]

Cleric can tank like a mother fucka. I play a cleric and I go into the hordes and (distract to villains) My cleric and take a beating and keep on kick , then after the battle I heal my buddies

[assassian451]

you really dont need a cleric, i went though a whole campaign without a cleric or the "leader" role.

[drastisaos]

Cleric is a LOT more than this :P. Skip that newbie lvl xD

[trickytaffy111]

So where can you get those figurines? I want to get my friends and I some of those. lol we use lego peices right now XD

[tbonepearson]

@trickytaffy111 try a comic book or hobby store, they usually have D+D miniatures, or ebay :)

[trickytaffy111]

@tbonepearson ok thanks ill check it out.

[tbonepearson]

@trickytaffy111 np, you can get them in packs, they're pretty cool :)

[jonatron5]

Thumbs up for magic users

[urowell227]

clerics are good and all but ranger and rouges are my favorite

[ilovemelikeyouall]

COME ON!!!

I downloaded the game.

But it keeps, not Letting me in and showing some BuLLshit!!!

WTF!!?!?! What do I do??? I have Installed all of it!

[MatheusTheDreamer]

Why Clerigs are the strongest class? ( part 2 ) And we can't stop by there... there's also the Heal/Mass Heal taht heals up to 150/250 but wait for it... a clerig 10 PRS 10 can cast any cure spell with the maximize and enpower without ANY EXTRA COST... not even turn atempts (such as the divine metamagic feats) that means he can heal up to 225 HP with an 6th level spell and 300HP from many allies/ undeads with a 9th level spell... and i won't even bother talking about the HARM spell!

[MatheusTheDreamer]

Why Clerigs are the strongest class? (ok... as strong as druids) they might Cast Divine Power (+6 Str BAB=level 1 temp hp/level) Haste (+1 to AC and reflex, + 30ft of movement extra attack) Holy Aura (+4 deflection to AC, +4 res, SR 25 vs evil) Bull's Strength (+4 for) Righteous Might (size increases, +8 str, +4 nat armor to AC , DR 5/good or evil ) and Greater Spell Imunity... he will be like... 5 babarbarians in 1... and there's more...

[MatheusTheDreamer]

@MatheusTheDreamer and YES... are ALL STACKBLE BONUSES... i checked ;D

[3ZPaNH0L]

God I love being a nerd

[LizzyBitch18]

Me and my friends are playin 3.5 we did play 4.0 but prefer 3.5 not sure why really but i play for fun to have a laugh .

my charcters i have been :

4.0 elf / sorceress

3.5 druid/elf

3.5 for another adventure cleric/human

[falloutmnky]

the bard is my FAVORITE

[ytWatchhound]

I only play 3.5 I have all the books for it and there are so many options. Do you guys play 4?

[boarischerKoda]

+1 video, thanks

[jawsykilla]

Been playing DnD 4e for 2 days now, we have a party of 4 and have completed two encounters. I am a Drow Sorcerer and I friggin' owned some goblins and drakes today!

[7677876]

For my next game, I'm TOTALLY using the Iron from Monopoly!!!!!

[Monkestful]

IMO, u guys have one part of the cleric down, but haven't gone over the true potential of what a clr can be. In my dnd group, clerics aren't forced to heal- they do help people, but they also melee and have gone crazy with spells. The players who play clerics at my group do whatever it is will help the party most, and often that means memorizing maybe a cure light wounds or two a day (with a level 10 ish party), but also going to town with a +4 sword, killing all offending cliches, and

winning.

[239ale]

Im making a cleric now xD

[tbonepearson]

@239ale nice, a party needs a good cleric around to survive.

[Darkreconing]

@tbonepearson Clerics are so much fun to play :) They definitely keep everyone together Haha

[coolkidmonster905]

you can be a battle cleric

[inhuman0id]

@coolkidmonster905 exactly a ... a cleric like the paladin are quite capable in battle thus the shields and melee weapons and armor

[robinzeehood]

im a lvl 2 necromancer elf

[tbonepearson]

@robinzeehood cool is that in 4th edition?

[Pendragondnd]

bard is epic in 4e, i mocked a demon to death once

[tbonepearson]

@Pendragondnd lol

[Pendragondnd]

@tbonepearson according to the dm, it was a your mama joke

[tbonepearson]

@Pendragondnd lol

[TheRussellEmerson]

@Pendragondnd i made an orc commit suicide

[jonseyzfan]

@Pendragondnd once we had a situation when we sneaked up to a gate where a guard was standing. he heard us sneaking through the bushes and asked: who is there?

our bard answered: your grandma!

he rolled a natural 20 for bluffing, the guard a natural 1.

the guard was all like: WHAT?!

[1plus1equals84]

i want that s.e.x. shirt

[tbonepearson]

@1plus1equals84 I've got a box of them for sale :) They're from our webseries

S.E.X. Star Explorer Xenolith!

[tbonepearson]

@yoshisuniverse dnd tabletop :)

[SoraKirin]

I don't know fourth edition bards are pretty awesome

[pumakil]

I have a level 4 human necromancer.He rocks!

[zugfort]

ive try dnd online im a zerger i go ahead of the group alot ironicly im a wizard

[shakBboy]

still can give you idea if you will check it out and is free

[shakBboy]

D&D have involved, you should try the D&D online, its cool to see the game in 3D more then you see it on a piece of paper, try it out i am a ranger Arcane Archer so come and lets battle some freaking ogres and orcs

[tbonepearson]

@shakBboy It does sound fun but I spend my whole workday staring bleary eyed at a computer screen so I enjoy any activity that pulls me away and there's nothing like getting together with friends and creating your own original awesome story and rolling dice and eating snacks is fun too :)

[whyinthehell101]

@tbonepearson lol hes talking about a computor mmorpg not a friken board game dumbass

[fistofheronious5]

PALADIN all the way!!!

[capndax2000]

D&D is the reason why I make movies now. In our movies you will see these ideas throughout...enjoy.

We make D&D like movies in a series on You Tube.

by Shadowyn Films.

Soul Searching and the Christmas movie Wintertide.

[Discipol]

you are fucking idiots; clerics are good tanks, healing here and there. if you need a lot of healing, you are either in the wrong place, or the dm is an asshole

[legendsofgrine]

When you laminate the map, can you earase things if you draw in markers or sharpie to make a dungeon?

[Discipol]

@legendsofgrine if its a water based marker, yes. test it on a corner first. use medicinal alchool to clean with some toilet paper :D even if the map is dry

[WolfOfBloodAndBone]

For my next character I'm thinking about a ranger. I thought of his name and backstory and everything, I just need to wait for the next time I play.

[WolfOfBloodAndBone]

I've only started D&D a few months ago, my cousin got me into it. My current character (and my first) is a fighter named Lirrian. He uses a +2 Bastard sword, a +2 Longbow and I had my shield enhanced by a genie to be completely magic resistant lol. He's pretty cool, I once crippled a vampire who was standing on a tall balcony by shooting the balcony with an arrow of disintegration lol, he fell and was crippled so I popped a stake in his heart lol.

[TheQuidProQuo]

Clerics aren't just heal bots... clerics and fighters are ridiculously customizable. The best archer I've seen anyone make was a fighter and Clerics can make some of the best damn fighters. If you want an actual healer go with... healer. From the minis handbook.

Also Barbs are a lot better tanks than fighters.

Oooor maybe I'm just a crazy. *shrug*

[r0tt1ng]

Did someone shouted "CLERIC"?

[MatrixGalvatron]

Hilarious man, I love it

[syanbryan]

I've been wanting to find a permanent player to play with for a long time: Years now! Hahaha. Finally me and my friend usually play at lunch. We'll be switching from DM to player. I'm creating my character for his campaign today. He is a human Sorcerer. Great tips!

[tbonepearson]

Thanks for the tip! Perhaps we shouldn't have chugged a pot of coffee and guzzled a case of Red bull before shooting, lol. I think you're right though!

[sacranym]

O.o umm... The best medic in ability is the Healer from DnD 3.5 Minitures handbook. Class wheps are longspear and crossbow. Also if your broke the tokens are a simple way to represent the minitures. Either by the actual pop out kinds or print out the images and glue them on pennies thats a simple way ^_^;

[sheepslayer70]

ya i started playing dnd about meh a year ago me and some friends play one every month i know its sad. so we are still in the prosses of learning the tricks of the trade ( i as dm) just wondering if any one can toss me some advice

[tbonepearson]

We'll do a piece about DMing tips next episode, how are your recent games going?

[RedCrayonFace]

You never shouted out "DRUID!" :(

[joeycaswellrocinante]

CLERIC!

[zeoevil]

As a 20 year vet I do suggest you at least try 4th. All the imbalance and general retardation of 3rd thrown out the window in favor of balance. And even a cleric gets to do cool stuff besides being a healbot.

[tbonepearson]

Thanks, giving more firepower to the cleric is pretty cool, any more examples of things you're really enjoying about 4th? Is it true about the diagonal squares being always 1 move instead of 1. 1.5, 1, 1.5?

[zeoevil]

Yes. One square is one square in any direction. There are four basic character roles (Controller [Wizard], Defender [Fighter], Leader [Cleric], and Striker [Rogue]) with plenty of variation on each theme so you have several different types of healers that all still get to do cool stuff. No negative ability score mods for races is nice. No level adjustments either. All classes are effective. The rogue can sneak attack undead and constructs.

[tbonepearson]

Thanks for all the great info, do you mind if we mention your name "zeoevil" in the next episode?

[zeoevil]

Sure. In fact if you need any specific info about things you are unsure about by all means feel free to ask. And if you decide to play check the updates on the WotC website before you do. They seem to be paying more attention now and they release update to fix typos and other problems asap.

[zeoevil]

Multiclassing is doesn't take away from your characterseffectiveness now. You level about every other session. More feats. Feats that scale by tier of play (Heroic [1-20], Paragon [11-20], and Epic [21-30]. Epic play isn't broken. Better magic item creation rules that don't penalize you for making things you need. Although you don't get to make whatever you want it is still better. No skyrocketing economies. In other words you don'[t get a ton of cash off everything you kill.

[zeoevil]

More ability score bumps. AC doesn't skyrocket to rediculous levels.

For the guy who was told to play a cleric he could have played a bard, cleric, shaman, or warlord and still been an effective healer. And even within each of those classes you have 2 to 3 "builds" or types of clerics for example.

Don't get me wrong there is still some nonsense. Nobody can catch everything but it seems like they are paying more attention now.

[thetanplzer]

thanks for making this video

[tbonepearson]

No prob, do u play Dnd?

[baduhenna]

Yay! I play complicated tiefling rogue. I have yet to play a cleric or even a meat shield/tank.

[tbonepearson]

It's good to have a rogue in the party!

[baduhenna]

Yes, yes it is. Especially since I've picked my prestige class of the assassin.

[tbonepearson]

Assassin, sweet! What version are you guys playing, 3.5?

[baduhenna]

Oh yes, 3.5. For some reason I can't stand 4.0. I suppose I should give it a chance.

[tbonepearson]

Yep we're 3.5 as well, although I'm tempted by 4th edition, "Bloodied" is a sweet idea, it allows u to know when a creature is at half it's hitpoints

[x7tech]

It is a good thing that it can be implemented more easily into 3.5

[tbonepearson]

do you mind if we mention your name "baduhenna" in the next episode?

[baduhenna]

Not at all. :D

[IEatFireTrucks]

lol love the beginning arrgghh wait no thats a pirate xD

[tbonepearson]

Thanks for watching!

[NkostelMedia]

this is cool

[tbonepearson]

Thanks!
