Where is this at? The kickstarter or preorder has ended

Looks like this class lost some of it's shine with the 2024 druid changes. Now that wildshape as a bonus and spellcasting in beast form are base class features (plus the fact that everyone now only starts subclassing at level 3) the appeal of dragon wanes a tad. Though the flavour is all still there. It's a shame that since this is a physical medium, you can't really adjust as much or as quickly for these sorts of things.

14:15 I still maintain that the intention here is to use the Grasp Of Hadar and Repelling Blast Invocations to group them up and then Meteoric Impact. Or have some other members of your party with the ability to force movement help group them up and then hit with the MI.

The theme really intrigues me. Just think itcould have used an ability that lets them raise slain enemies when their bardic inspiration was used to kill them.

Playing a Ancients Paladin now, and I'm one level away from that Aura of Warding. Let's Fuckin' Go!🌲🗡️

Nice to see a really positive read on the Alchemist, everyone else tends to hate it without really getting the stuff you've mentioned here.

That Blade Of Disaster spell is Spiritual Weapon on freaking steroids!!!!! LMAO

My biggest downside to the class is if you go with a PAM and you hit level 14, your regular attack range is now the same as the thrown range, so it made it pointless to use the throw and I went back to javelin tossing to not get disadvantage

i asked my DM that i wanted to be a party mum but also deadly. he recommended this class. keep your friends close and your enemies dead.

This subclass gets a lot of mileage in curse of strahd, surprisingly enough few undead are immune to unconsciousness/blindness which is this subclass' bread and butter and bonus points us you get to show the citizens of barovia a clear night sky for the first time in their lives, ireena and ismark would love to see that view

I love flavoring warding shadows and the channel divinity as sentient shadows that whip around blind or tug at people to throw them off what rythm they have in a fight to help represent that terrifying nature of darkness that gets shown off later on in the subclass and when it comes to the light aspects of the night subclass I represent as the majesty of a natural night sky with the cosmos being this massive piece of art that you channel into the brighter aspects that the subclass and overall class give through their spellcasting

I was looking EVERYWHERE for a subclass like this. Was looking at Clerics, though. Good to see I can have it here as a Paladin.

I have never seen a ttrpg have a playable thing make me happier to be alive

The Mucle Wizard Barbarian from Valda spire of secrets lives rent free in my head even years later. I never even played the class it just had that much flavor ❤

Just discovered this race recently when building a level 10 character for a train heist one off game, figured he'd be useful in the confined space especially since I went lvl 6 College of Swords Bard/lvl 4 Swashbuckler Rogue and he did not disappoint. Trash talking the toughest mobs into coming at me only to yeet them out the window with a mobile flourish was loads of fun as was smacking them in the face with a booming blade, slipping out of 5 foot range with fancy footwork, then goading them with a butt smack and an akanbe taunt into coming at me only to trigger it's effect was hilarious. Alastaire Bungleroot is now currently my favorite character I've made and he was just supposed to be a one off! Might talk to my DM about re-instituting that Kender pocket trait though; I can only imagine the extra slapstick I could bring into the game with that at my disposal lol

What about gunblads

In dnd I mimic this with the exhaustian conditions, usually giving 2 levels everytime a PC is picked up

Don’t forget the All-Purpose Tool that adds to spell attack rolls and DC. It really helps make sure the artillerist’s spells are effective.

I have just come up with a Yuan-ti monk in a campaign a friend is playing and we just reached Level 3! I was not really sure what subclass zu give her but well... having a snake-human hybrid which happens to be a monk kinda screams for that subclass right? xD Especially since the Yuan-ti get poison spray as a cantrip, but without the poison condition which I found kinda weird from the start o_O And I thought about getting the poisoners feat to maybe talk to my DM about using my cantrip to kinda get one of the ingredients for poison out of my snake features to then be able to put it on my weapon and get the poison condition that way. With the Viperstrike feature that issue basically fixes itself at level 6! So I could either go for the ASI or a different feat in the future :P Thanks for explaining the features and giving an overview of everything!

lizardfolk inquisitive rogue uses his nose to detect trouble and lies. smells dishonesty. is a ambush hunter and goes the Vitals while constantly following the zealous teacher of the maw. consume or be consumed. weak are eaten.

Pretty sure Hunters Mark only loses Concentration at level 10

So, when will this subclass be available on Drivethru RPG?

I saw another video about the owlings that was about 2 minutes because the race have literally nothing, and then saw this with almost 15 minutes and thought that maybe there was more to it... The same 2 minutes plus rant 😂

Any chance you will look at the sorcerer subclass and perhaps discuss how contamination might work outside of Drakkenheim?

FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL... BEAR WITNESS!!!!

Is there a chance that we could see the sorcerer subclass review for Crystalpunk?

this is genuinely really cool and actually balanced. its not weak but its not incredibly overpowered and i genuinely want to play it

looks great but seems a bit under powered until level 15.

The biggest drawback about this subclass is the taxing misuse of ki points casting some of these spells!! You wouldn't be able to use your basic monk abilities(Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, Step of the Wind, STUNNING STRIKE)!!!!! I'll do everything possible to avoid this subclass AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

Currently using this domain multiclassed with shadow monk to take full advantage of darkness!

I'm trying a star druid/grave cleric multiclass right now, i'm excited and skeptical haha

Fast hands plus mobile feat: Run up and grab the bbeg’s spellcastong focus, run back, and sneak attack if an ally is next to them. They can’t cast 96% of spells.

Easy way around the wisdom dependancy feeling like an issue if you want to make a more combat focused build and also want your Trick DC high.. Magic initiate Druid for shillelagh, now you can make Cha (for bard stuff) Wis (for your tricks and attacks with quarterstaff) and con(for HP) your primary stats. Worried about your dex for AC? No worries! Choose tortle for your race. Problem solved-ish hahaa

Just started my minatour Samari and I started at level 10 and I kicking ass and I am loving it.

Phandelver & Below I'm grabbing 3 celestial warlock of the chain with a lantern archon familiar variant, gift of everliving so dice based heals/potions are maximized, Lay on Hands for bringing team mates back up. Polearm Master + Sentinel + Dueling style + Resilient CON + Eldritch Mind so concentration stays up a bit longer. Not optimal but should hang on as tank in close quarters with two healers in the backline. Nonlethal staff (arcane focus) + shield (holy symbol) for materials.

could you die from using your capstone and avoid all the exhaustion by being revived?

gotta try this out.

Variant Human Rogue Thief. Sage Background, Wizards Apprentice Specialty. S 13 C 12 D16 I15 W10 C8 Athletics, Perception, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Arcana and History as skills. Expertise with Stealth and Perception. Start with the Ritual Caster feat. Start with Find Familiar and Detect Magic. At level 4, take Tavern Brawler, making my character proficient with Alchemist Fire, Acid Flasks, Caltrops, Hunters Traps, Holy Water and Oil Flasks, allowing him to throw two Acid Flasks per round and trigger sneak attack with either of them because of Fast Hands. also raise Strength to 14 to increase Athletics which synergizes with Second Story work. At level 5, reach the milestone of being able to cast Phantom Steed as a ritual, allowing my character to have a movement speed of 100' at all times. At level 6, take Expertise with Athletics and Sleight of Hand. At level 8, take Mounted Combatant, allowing my character to keep his phantom steed safe, and attack with advantage while mounted. At level 10, take Healer, synergizing with Fast Hands and allowing my character to basically cast Healing Word twice per round with no limits until the healing kit's run out. At level 12 and 16 boost dexterity. At level 19 take Observant, giving +5 to passive perception and passive investigation and boosting Intelligence to 16. I would be leaning into the ability to use magical rod's, staffs and wands through use magic device and providing utility with ritual spells and mundane objects through fast hands, tavern brawler and healer. I'd be using Alarm, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Identify, Tenser's Floating Disk, Unseen Servent, Magic Mouth, Leomunds Tiny Hut, Water Breathing, Divination, Contact Other Plane and Rary's Telepathic Bond rituals as soon as I could get my hands on them and as often as possible, and I would have an owl familiar and phantom steed at all times. This build is an old school Advanced Dungeons and Dragons style Thief build, based on the Grey Mouser from the books by Fritz Leiber He's best in a party that doesn't have a wizard, because there's no ritual caster overlap. And, he's able to be an amazing healer once he hits level 13. With fast hands, healer, a bag of holding full of healing kits and a staff of healing, he can handle almost everything. He could go in solo, or as a duo, and really do well. I like building a rogue that dumps Charisma and puts Strength in the top three. He's not a smooth talker, but he knows parkour, and he can use Tavern Brawler to pull Jackie Chan type shit if he gets caught with his hand in someone's pocket. He might have brief intense romantic moments with princesses based around traumatic bonding, but for the most part, he sleeps with beautiful whores. It starts out strong, too. A rogue with an owl familiar is a top tier rogue out of the gate. A fourth level rogue with an owl familiar who can sneak attack with an acid flask at range as a bonus action is a very strong forth level rogue. There are no weak levels, and no abilities that cease to be useful. Sneak attacking with an acid flask from a distance of 20' as a bonus action is still powerful at level 16. It's a single class build. You're dealing 2d6+8d6+5+5 as a bonus action with a mundane object that costs 25gp. And, using a healing kit to restore a downed comrade to one hit point twice per round is still powerful at level 20. If the dungeon master is willing to give access to things like bombs and dynamite, his damage potential rises dramatically, but he doesn't need it. The fact that he can use his bonus action to attempt a sneak attack with fast hands really sets him free to be flexible in battle. If he lands his sneak attack with his bonus action, he can use his action to do whatever is optimal. If he has a good wand or staff, that might be a better choice. If he misses his sneak attack, he can try again. If you were going to take anything away from this... if you ignore flavor and give a thief rogue the tavern brawler and healer feats, you instantly become op. You gain the ability to sneak attack with a bonus action, and you get the ability to prevent a total party kill by repeatedly raising two downed comrades to one hit point with a healers kit. And ritual caster is amazing for any rogue, because it gives find familiar at level 1 and phantom steed at level 5. I love this character. His owl flies past the giant's face and distracts it as he rides in on his phantom steed and throws an acid flask at the giant's vitals, landing a sneak attack and causing significant damage as he rides past. Then he rides away to a safe distance and blasts the giant with a wand of fireballs. After the giant is dead, he abandons his phantom steed, letting it fade away, and climbs the sheer mountain face to get to the castle where the final treasure awaits. Once this job is finished, the old wizard will repay him with the a staff of healing and a scroll of contact other plane, both of which he has been seeking for a long time. Once he finishes this personal side quest and reunites with his party, that staff of healing is really going to come in handy. He'll never use cure wounds, but lesser restoration and mass cure wounds will definitely see use. And he has personal reasons why he wants the scroll of contact other plane. This guy can do stealth and infiltration and information gathering and theft and burglary and escape with the best of them. His ritual spells provide massive utility. He is a top tier battlefield medic. He has limited battlefield control through his ability to throw two bags of caltrops per round, and if he can find a reliable source of tanglefoot bags, this improves dramatically. His ability to generate advantage with his familiar and attempt to sneak attack twice per round throwing alchemist fire and acid flasks makes him a top tier short range damage dealer. The fact that he can use both wizard and cleric magic items gives him immense flexibility. His mobility is off the charts. He has a natural climb speed with a strength of fourteen, second story work and expertise in athletics, and he can use a ritual to summon a steed that moves 100' which he spent a feat learning to ride like a mongolian. He has expertise in perception, and he's very knowledgeable, with skills in arcana and history and a high intelligence. Of course, he's also got expertise in sleight of hand, so, he can steal your wallet with the best of them. --------------------- The druid and the barbarian are both down. The balor is not. The sorcerer is dealing with minions and barely keeping it together. No matter. That balor is going to kill us all. The thief charges in on his phantom steed, with his healing kit in hand. He quickly gives the barbarian triage as a bonus action and gets him back on his feet. Then he does the same to the druid as a standard action. He's been hovering around 20' away throwing bombs and shooting his opponents with wands. But his dungeon master is being a dick and not letting him perform the healing action targeting a prone ally without dismounting, and now he's standing unmounted, inside melee range of a balor, behind two allies who each have one hit point. He can repeat this indefinitely. If he's undisturbed. The fate of the realms rests in the hands of the druid and the barbarian. If they let the balor reach the thief, the game will end in a total party kill. The thief does not understand why he is here. What the hell happened? It doesn't matter. This is the pragmatic option. Do what is optimal and try not to shit yourself. I hope the sorcerer isn't overwhelmed by minions before they finish this balor off. --------------------- And, lets not pretend for a moment that Divination and Contact Other Plane aren't the best spells ever from a dungeon master's perspective. A thief that casts Divination by means of ritual every day gives the dungeon master ample opportunity for exposition that never seems forced. And, if the party is stonewalled and the dungeon master is trying to refrain from pulling their hair out because the players are too stupid to see the clues he worked so hard to assemble, contact other plane is awesome. You might get to give the dungeon master the opportunity to take pity on you and spoon feed you the answers. Or you might gaze into the abyss and go insane and have to be restrained by your comrades until you regain your sanity.

So you brought up the most commonly talked about thing: Using wails to kill something small. I like it better the opposite way. You sneak attack the mob (or auto crit on a downed enemy) and use the wails to hit a hard to hit enemy.

lol

I don't know if you two will respond to this comment, but I need tips for roleplaying with this subclass. My idea of the character is that he discovered that he is just in a game and seeks to free himself from within, using the periods where the table is not occurring, as supposedly he could move freely during this period, where the world would continue to progress without interference from the master and players. But I don't know how I could roleplay that. I don't want to make a Deadpool style character, as cool as that would be, but it seems like the roleplay options for this subclass are just these...would you happen to have any other ideas?

A lot of people miss that arcane abjuration as stated works like the banishment spell, while it's not super impactful, if you are in a situation where you can use it if the monster fails it's save theres no concentration required so the spell can't break or end b4 that minute and it just disappears from your plane for good ex. A 14th lvl arcane cleric attacked by a group of bearded devils and they all fail their saves can just shunt them back to the hells with nothing but this feature

I wonder, of the druid were. To cast armor of agathys (multi class, feat, no matter hoe they got it) and then go into dragon mode, would armor of agathys then scale of off the new temp health?

Cloak of Shadows is not that bad in combat. Setting up Spirit Giardians, Spiritual Weapon and becoming invisible let's you stay around without being the target of enemies spells
