i love D&Ds kitchen sink rule set, races, classes, spells, etc.. i DONOT like how newer gamers assume EVEYRHTIGN in the book is fair game no matter hwat setting is being provided by the DM.

I think the bonus action Smite kneecaps the Paladin way more than most people think. It's not just once per turn. It's once per round. Which I find really strange since the Rogue's Sneak Attack is famously once per turn, and they don't need to expend any resources to do so. Also, my girlfriend plays a Paladin, and really enjoys how much support and utility she can do with her bonus action. I think it's easy to forget since Paladin is a crazy nova class, but they get some really nice Cleric spells. So now the Paladin has to choose between being able to dish out damage and being able to support. Which makes play as a Paladin way more clunky, whereas WotC has made an effort to streamline other classes and made it easier to free up bonus actions. Literally put the line "you can only cast this spell once per turn on a hit" on the smite spell, and you're good. Hell, even making it a reaction spell when you hit a target would make it once per round and not kneecap the versatility of the Paladin.

Generic comment

While both Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons changing names of things for cultural sensitivity makes sense, I do find it kind of funny how both games have recently replaced the word Totem in game mechanics (Magic had a mechanic called Totem Armor that was replaced by Umbra Armor in the most recent set release)

Have you ever thought about giving a dm commentary for the first few sessions? I am very curious about what uour design was to funnel them towards the ship for launch. SPOILERS SORRY.

Having the Dungeoncast give their first take opinions about the upcoming DnD 5.5E player options is solid gold awesomeness! Keep up the good work!!!

For those of us that weren't able to support the Kickstarter, when do you think they might be available for purchase? The same time the physical books ship?

right so instead of racist where going to be spiecist.. sure.. untill we find aliens this will be fine. most of it sounds like 3.5 or pathfinder to me realy. it does sound interesting. thank you for the comperhancive run down edits: oh so thats why BG3 called it wildhart and not totem. I still waiting for the javalin that returns to your hand and is magical so you dont trow away 6k gold and cant get around the: imune to non-magical damage. whit that you can play a propper javalin trower build real fun whit a centaur. but now when you hit lvl 8 your screwed. (and no I dont want to go artificer. its bad if only one class can use a martial weapon and that class isn't martial at all.) lol even whit roll20 and such getting people to show up is still difficult

great as always, gents. some nice additions and balancing with the new addition. can't wait to see what's broken in the new version!

For those of us who have challenges with how our attacks work- is there a flow chart- ? Would you be interested in helping create them. Dyslexia really goofs me up, and creating the flow chart on my own becomes overwhelming and I don’t want to even try new classes.

I love you guys

It seems kinda really wrong to me that a Paladin's Smite can be shut down with Magic resistance now, also can't effect Rakshasha's. Freakin lame

I'm doing the straud campaign and decided to use an aarakocra because I thought it would be fun. Except they don't have dark vision so I'm always lighting torches... anyways, according to aarakocra lore, they are enemies of the gargoyles but sad to see there isn't much qctual lore between the two. I figured if anyone had the info it would be you guys, so i guess it doesnt exist. it's time to write some 😂 thanks for another great show!

You guys are my longest lasting, most treasured d&d related following, keep at it Will and Brian!

1:26:23 A large majority of the last UA Playtest versions that came out for the classes and subclasses are pretty much what is going into the book. With some changes

1:18:23 We haven’t heard about the VTT in months

1:09:18 The resistances have been nerfed, which is good

1:01:25 Rage does not continue if you take damage now. They removed it because they don’t want players to rely on an outside force to keep a feature like that going.

I will point out that epic boons as presented are identical to the optional rules for them in the DMG pg232, so not really new or changed just put into a place where people will actually read them

39:51 Oh, the wings are spectral elemental energy

38:05 Treantmonk said that there’s one thing in Psi Warrior that will make players “want to to stick with Fighter for longer”

31:23 You could see Fighter Level and total levels. Which… doesn’t really work for… anything

Sooo ...there's no Half Elves...which makes sense because different "Species" can NOT interbreed. (Seems racist to me)

18:06 No I don’t think you can make another attack with a bonus action. Nick replaces that when you use it

16:15 Weapons only get one Property.

FWIW in 2014 inspiration RAW, you can only use it to get advantage on a d20 roll and the player is supposed to declare they're using it before they roll. Honestly that sucks and I don't know any DMs (that use inspiration) who play it this way, everyone I know always allow a reroll for inspiration.

11:31 It should be pretty much the same as Fizban I think. In the Playtest I believe it was similar to that one and the wings are level 5

“Creativity flourishes in a box” it’s so surreal you say this because the host of one of the only other podcasts I consistently listen to religiously (Back issues on Comicpop, which oddly enough I think you guys would love.) always says “Adversity breeds creativity.” Especially referring to comics. How strange 😂

51:34 Proc = procedural random occurrence?

5:11 It’s very easy to swap out the Ability Scores, Skill Proficiencies, Languages or Origin Feats. They made it very modular so swapping things around is very easy

Yes! New rules Dungeoncast episode!

i'. 50/50 on the smite for paladin in a ways the nerf is good but also sucks LOl, but on races from what o understand they got rid of half elf( my fav race to play combined with paladin) as well half orc and why we got no warforge race warforge paladin be cool or a platinum dragonborn paladin

Do people really complain about the martial/magic power gap that much? I mostly play martial classes and it felt kinda fair to me that mages got stronger as the game went on. Martial classes have way better damage and durability at low levels and most games I've been in don't really last long enough for the mages to get the really busted stuff. I've never felt outclassed by spellcasters or that I didn't contribute to a campaign in or out of combat if I was playing a character with no magic. But maybe I'm weird. It's fun to get more toys to play with I guess I just didn't see it as a problem that needed fixing.

Kachigga, My ,compadres 🎉

The Initial topic of Backgrounds and "I want to be a Fighter Acolyte, but it is suboptimal"... So before, being a Gnome or Tiefling Fighter would have been suboptimal by the same argument. I think the argument of "I spent most of my time in Study and Contemplation, and I'm not as optimized for physical efforts" makes more sense personally

Hi guys, loved the vid! One thing I will say that I don't like about the Paladin smite is that they made it a bonus action, instead of just saying you can only cast smite once per turn, because a lot of the new features require bonus actions now. This also means that feats like Poleam Master and Greatweapon Master a useless now and would hinder your gameplay. Since they also made Divine Smites spells now, a wizard or monster you are fighting can counterspell your smite, also paladins cant really do anything against monsters like the Rakshasa, which are immune to any spell 6 level or lower. I am thinking that because they made most of the classes (so far) much stronger, they have said that they are also making all of the monsters much stronger aswell.

Nice

2 hour+ Dungeoncast episode! Wooooooooooot!

It’s OK guys. I know you two were sick. Hope you get better. Love y’all. You too are awesome.

Cool speaking about the topic but I'm the only one that gets pissed when the other dude repeats everything?😂

very good

How do they not use blowdarts....

08:00 1/3, you forgot Orcus. He also became a deity

I can't believe you guys didn't mention Professor X as one of the bald good guys! Anyway, I love your show. Keep it up. Here's hoping for an episode about meenlocks!

I play a Harengon Cleric, and its awesome. I can cast spells and then rabbit hop out of the way. Its awesome.

I had a fantastic time playing as a Thrall of Malcanthet. But the idea that Shendilavri and Malcanthet seem diabolic is intentional, because lust and passion are domains which have never known laws. The whole region is designed to drain all sanity and reason from mortals. Thus, all while one is thinking that they may be able to depend on a certain diabolic stability, in reality, this is all a giant deception, further dooming the hapless mortal. Awesome video guys.

Great show as always. Love it. Love the whole new stuff you’re doing. A note, you keep referring to the new D&D books as OneD&D and according to folks at Wizards, that’s not correct. OneD&D was a (i guess now retired) name for their VTT + DndBeyond + the process that eventually led to the new books. But the new books are not called OneD&D. I think maybe it was more like the name of a project, and not the name of a product of that project, if that makes sense. Anyway, i guess there’s gonna be some confusion in the player community until people agree what to call this update. Is it 5.5? Is it D&D 2024? What do you think people will wind up calling it?

insirt comment to food the algorythm

One of the best, keep up the good work. I did not know that reading midieval menuscrips about beer gets you in to the gaming industrie. I do love that I can change the clases of the preset charcters. in older games even from the same studio. its anoying that you cant use that character because you need that healer so you need to to put in that one character again. cause you need a healer. I have no clue if its simpel but its an amazing thing they did. Magic has a price is a thing you see in the arthurian legend. His fater could not stand to lose his son does he asked the priestes of old magic to safe what he cant stand to lose. There is payment he's told he thinks its his life. Showing us hes willing to give it up. The price of the magic is hes wives. Bcause to get something back that you can't stand to lose. You need to give up somthing you cant stand to lose also. in his case his wife. And there is no take backs. in these story's the ones who ask for it get very clearly warned about this. And like real people get realy realy pist when they don't like the price they need to pay. As a dm and player I love this way of thinking. But as a player it sometimes anoy''s me. Also remind's me of the series merlin, well that is the arthurian legend ofcourse. where the old wise magic using aphothecary says: only magic and beat magic. And yes specialy whit wildshape and druid magic should go in to the magic has a price thing.
