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,...
Rocket Breakdown
Team Rocket
This 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...

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. N...
2022-07-10 11:22:05 +0000 UTC View PostNova 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 cer...

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.

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 Tuesd...

Magic is difficult to begin with, then you add a counter to it on top.
