The resistence comes into play at 17th level. Comparing that to other 17th level stuff, we have life domain's "max heal", arcana domain gets 4 6th-9th spell from wizard list, war domain gets damage resistence against weapons, forge gets resistence against weapons and *immunity* to fire and grave gets to heal from dying people. And also the ability of peacetriggers when you take damage for someone else and is only active while channel divinity is. This makes it a lot less powerful than bear totems ability, as you cant really keep yourself safe, you need others to keep you safe, it also costs a reaction which is actually an important thing for frontlines as they want to get attacks if oppurtunity. It is definately strong but not broken for its level. At 17th level I'd compare it with Rage Beyond Death of Zealot Barbarian, 14th level ability that puts Bear Totem to shame in terms of survivability. Twilight domain on the other hand, at lvl2, gives 10 rounds of constant temp hp to everyone. Without any concentration required. This means, even if only 2 targets are being attacked, twilight domain is canceling out 2d6+4 damage per turn for 10 turns. At 17th level, it is blocking 2d6+34 damage. An adult red dragon(cr17) deals 56 damage per turn on average if all of its attacks hit. Which means you are reducing more damage than you would with resistence. In fact there is a chance you can nullify entire turns, because you also give half cover to everyone you want, which is a +2 to ac. So, if the dragon targets the fighter with 20 ac, it has +14 to hit, meaning it hits 75% of the time. With +2 ac, thats 65%. So its damage output becomes 36.4. With the temp hp, it is reduced by 20.5. So, you reduce the damage to 16. Peace domain bond wouldnt work well with multiattack(unless you want wizard to teleport next to the dragon), and twilight's feature gets stronger if the dragon were to attack 2 targets, as 36/2=18 and the temp hp on each is 20. Math checks out, even with infinite reactions, twilight outpaces peace. But if you combine them, you can force attack distribution which would let you exploit the temp hps further. Not doing the maths but you can probably reduce a tarrasque to 30 damage per turn with the right team

@@carpedm9846 alright. Twilight domains available channel divinity is busted. With the utility granted by flight and 300 ft of shareable dark vision twilight domain is really good. But let’s talk about emboldening bond. Note how the ability states that each creature can add the 1d4 per turn, not round. Additionally you can buff yourself. This results in an additional 2d4, to two creatures on every turn of combat. This is a weaker bless that can also effect ability checks, but This effect stacks with things like bless. Yes, they stack. This is larger bonus than advantage from dark vision. In fact this, on average, nearly doubles the expected roll outcome. However the core feature scales off of PB, this is slow, where a dimmadome can turn a party of glass cannons into Thor Gjorbinson, the bond can only really effect front lines. But, with the bonus from emboldening bond, combat is still trivialized. Now you kinda dissed protective bond with the teleportation at the cost of a reaction... the reaction is rather infrequently used, most classes and subclasses never even get to use a reaction in any way beyond a possible opportunity attack. You can be creative with this, and while flight is better than teleportation, the teleportation effects allies as well. Also enemies don’t have to trigger the teleport. This is like teleportation as a reaction cantrip. Last but not least, you covered a lot with the peace domains capstone, but did you know you can also basically use this to spread an instance of damage across the entire party’s health pools. That’s better than half cover, In my opinion but to each their own. I also like peace domains spells more, but that’s just... whatever

@carpedm9846

@@boyo5970 the fact that it costs reaction isnt bad just because it prveents AOO. Its a nerf as it prevents multiple uses of it. Another glaring issue is, peace doesnt get heavy armor. You are not going to tank anything, so for damage sharing you need to have 2 frontliners. And then the ability can only be triggered twice, if the enemies change targets. And until 17th level its nothing more than "I get hit instead and take the full damage". And as a cleric you want the damage to be in a single person, for healing purposes you never ever want multiple people at half hp. Its better to have 1 person at no hp because then you can upcast cure wounds and heal them up for 20+ hp. The damage taking is very situational. Maybe if one of you have resistence to something it can come in handy, or maybe you are at low hp but need to stayalice a bit more to cast healing. Maybe you bond he wizard and fighter so you can get some emergency repositioning. But its just that. Emergency repositioning. Wizard will never take the hit for fighter. You will rarely ever consider teleporting yourself. The d4 is good. It is the strongest feature of this subclass. It recharges on a long rest so you wont have this on every battle unlike a channel divinity. Stacking it with bless is good, and actually gives you incentive to bond yourself so maybe you can avoid a concentration roll. But at that point you are using 2 limited resources to get an effect. A powerful effect, yes, but its not as powerful as casting fly on the barbarian and dropping the BBEG for 20d6 damage. Its lvl6 afterall its the power bump of the cleric and after that you stagnate for a long time. Thats one of the elements of the cleric, you get occasional power bumps and then you stagnate for a while. The only issue i can see is someone using peace domain as a 1 lvl dip as the ability scales on PB. The bond can be compared with grave domain I believe. Grave domain allows for double damage, without calling it a crit, meaning it combos well with hold person letting the rogue hit for 4 times his sneak attack bonus and can do this on a short rest. It is a good channel divinity and gives around +5 if you can keep up bless. But bless is concentration(you cant tank anything), and thats also to blame on bless. Other features of peace domain is lacking. As I said, teleport is extremely situational, the resistence comes too late to take advantage of in any meaningful way. So the class's main selling point if that essentially free d4 to a lot of creatures. A decent power but most players see it as "aha my players are doing amazing" when they get blessed, while temp hp is more "well here goes mr cant damage us". Overall abilities that let you DO stuff is recieved better than abilities that dont let you do stuff. Afterall a player can roll high. Rolling 10+7 is not different than 15+2. And sometimes a player can consistently roll high. But that isnt really game altering compared to "you cant hurt me." Though Im on the camp of "barbarian+twilight+peace is the strongest party"

WHY DO WILDFIRE DRUIDS NOT GET FIREBALL

@jimmybob7873

3 жыл бұрын

While I will miss having Fireball on my Tiefling Druid's spell list, I'm actually happy with how the finalized Circle Spells turned out (especially with the additional two spells learned at 2nd level). FIreball was probably taken off the list for three reasons: 1) Enhanced Bond feature would add an extra 1d8 of fire damage to all targets hit by the fireball, essentially upcasting the spell for free. 2) Fireball is generally a more potent and efficient spell than Flame Strike, making Flame Strike a redundant spell that would see very little use. 3) To keep the Circle Spells balanced between fire spells and healing spells (the destructive and creative aspects of this subclass), Fireball was swapped out for Revivify (perhaps the most iconic healing spell in the game).

Swap the barbarian and the casters every time they takes damage, essentially making your party unkillable.

@carpedm9846

3 жыл бұрын

Temp hp IS kinda broken. Stacking with bless for 2d4 is nice but you are using up a spell slot and a CD. Resistence only triggers when someone takes damage for you, and only after 17th level. So it will come up very rarely, as you dont want the wizard to teleport to the frontlines and the martials only have 1 reaction per turn, meaning multiattack will tear through that ability and multiattack is plenty at high levels. Twilight temp hp however is not balanced at all. At 17th level it gives d6+17(average of 20.5) temp hp per turn per person and also +2 ac. A cr17 adult red dragon deals on average 56 damage if all attacks hit. Lets say that there is only 1 fighter with 20ac, so all of the dragons attacks go for that guy. Dragon has +14, which means 75% chance to hit. +2 ac means 65% chance to hit. Reduces dragon's average damage output to 36.4, with the temp hp, the damage is reduced by 20.5, meaning fighter takes 16 damage. If there was another fighter, he could only take 1 of the multiattack hits, and even if the dragon has 1 big attack that dealt 56, at 75% thats 42 damage divided by half thats 21 damage. So even tilting the scales by ignoring multiattack(which would make it a lot worse for peace), Twilight domain reduces damage more. And this is only the case with 1 target. If there were 2 targets the damage would be 36/2=18, completely nullified by 20temp hp. If you had infinite reactions to halve damage, with peace cleric you would be taking 10 damage(2 targets equally jumping in front of eachother), while twilight domain reduces that to 0 damage. Math checks out, peace domain will be reducing the damage by 13(dragon's bite does 26. If bite misses or deals small damage, peace will reduce even less damage cause thats how halving works) while twilight does more.

It's honestly stupid that Stars druid didn't make it into Theros. It's painfully obvious that it was intended specifically for it (I'd argue even more so than the two we did get), and even though Ravnica also only got two subclasses, Eberron got an entire class!

@@barcster2003 I agree people get kinda pissy when there's darkness YES Cleric can just throw all they "sunlike" powers around that give light and all that. Yet if they're upset they cannot set a BS ambush with creatures and or enemies that CAN see in the dark yet you cannot that's BS and I would call them out on it. Personally I found Peace to bit a bit more "busted" because with that "peacewalk" you can do you DON'T have to heal anything you can just move which means you cannot really get pined down. You CAN teleport allies to you by hurting yourself which can pull them out of hazard. Then the aura is so good you can honestly buff the team so well you can honestly play very offensively. With how I wanted to build Peace I wanted to make them a Lizardfolk so I can be beefy with all the con and have a wis bonus. Then the bite once per day is a bonus. Yeah Twilight on the surface is "broken" yet anything can be if you tried which means if they DM cannot keep up with the players it ain't the players fault for knowing what they can do. If the players know their class/subclass that's a good thing over the constant fumbling around

Druids already have plant growth, which is why getting it instead of fireball is so annoying

I’m really excited about Tasha’s Cauldron, since I’ve been waiting for a long time for a new setting-neutral source book with some sexy new features, spells, and subclasses, and this sounds like it’s exactly that.

Oh I love this cannot wait for part 2 :)

Nice vid! The puppies on the barbarian section make me giggle. Keep in mind that some of the reprinted subclasses got changes! The Bladesigner got a huge buff. Instead of extra attack at level 6 like in the scag, they got extra attack AND the ability to replace one of those attacks with a cantrip. Use one of the two Super Smack Blade spells, and that is some catastrophic damage every turn

I just realized that they removed Fireball from the Wildfire Druid spell list. Replaced it with Revivify. Which became a Druid spell in Tasha's... *flips tables*

My personal favourite from this book is the order of scribes for wizards. Apart from the fact that it removes one of the most potentially annoying thing about playing a wizard leaving you free to go for a swim without 3 custom made cases for your book layered on top of eachother to protect your bubble wrap covered book, it also lets you shift the damage types of your spells as many times as you want. Besides just ignoring resistance and exploiting vulnerability this allows you some stupidly cool spell flavouring - fireball? Make it a purple cloud that deals necrotic damage and have it just dehydrates people. Delayed blast fireball? If your DM is nice, you might be able to shift it to prismatic spray's damage formula so everyone in the area gets hit with a random damage type, turning it into a wild whirlpool of colour. Psychic scream? Make it deal equal parts fire and bludgeoning like meteor swarm and describe it like 10 flaming coconuts flying towards your enemies' heads and exploding. There's Just so much potential for stupidity.

I homebrew the bardic inspiration buff as just being for valor bards. It fits into the deal they have, makes valor feel closer to a distinct subclass and not just "worse blades", and the regular bardic inspiration doesn't feel like it needs a universal buff. That's what subclasses are for.

The reprinted subclasses (im not sure if all of them) have some slight changes to them so maybe at the end of the last video for tasha's you could quickly discuss the changes between them. The one I know off the top of my head is with Spores Druid in that it's Symbiotic Entity no longer does extra poison damage, but is instead necrotic damage.

I'm legitimately so excited to pair Peace Cleric with a Bard. I usually play either some kind of support or control so this is going to get pretty nuts.

College of Creation being a good choice for necromancer bards is brilliant! I'm playing a College of Lore bard who, via Additional Magical Secrets (level 6), Magical Secrets (starting at level 10) and Magic Initiate: Warlock (level 8 Feat choice) has been picking up *loads* of necrotic spells normally not available to bards. So I feel like Lore & Creation give you two solid options to make a necromancer bard! I also played the Circle of the Stars UA as a protector aasimar, and woo boy, that combo of subclass + race is aesthetic af. I actually *really* loved playing that class and will definitely be returning to it. Any druid circle that gives an alternative option for wildshape is a plus in my book; both Spores and Stars have been great to play.

You def deserve the sub my guy 👍

I think the idea of the Wildfire Druid getting Plant Growth is a nod to slash-and-burn agriculture. I actually really like its inclusion flavor-wise, and I’m glad we didn’t just get another caster class who’ll carelessly spam Fireball (although I main Sorcerer so I am part of that problem....)

The flight is proficiency times minutes per long rest bro, and Idk how you design your dungeons that they have unbriken lines of sight for 300ft - get some walls :p (the dv is nice, if you can get a longbow and sharpshooter on someone)

Love your content. You’re my go to DnD source

One thing I've started at my table is a 23-level cap. No single class can ever go over 20, your Proficiency bonus peaks at +6, you can't have more than 20 levels of spellcasting, you get your first class's Hit Die then your 19 best remaining ones, etc. (to not break any mechanics that expect a peak at 20) but you can go up to three levels deep in a "side hustle" and still hope to max out your main class. Now we've never taken a campaign that deep, but just knowing this option _exists_ makes for some more powerful builds in the midgame, where characters would know they're not forsaking their capstone features -- just delaying them. The mechanical effect is actually _zero_ on players because there is exactly one 20th level NPC (Wiz 17/Rogue 3) and no PCs above 14 at present. It just induces a mental shift that multiclassing is not only OK, but something _everyone_ will do eventually, so players are encouraged to optimize for the midgame knowing they're not throwing away their endgame potential. This means a whole lot of options open up that are as good as or better than all but the most OP subclasses. I've ruled that Pact Magic slots cannot be used for Sorcery Points or Divine Smites -- only to cast spells or do other Pact Magic things (so something like Searing Smite can still be cast with Pact Magic slots). This seriously cuts down on the exploit potential of hexadins because they can no longer wait for a crit before deciding to smite, but sorlocks can still figure out ways to use their warlock slots every fight and be great. A Divine Soul sorlock can almost always cast useful Cure Wounds with the Pact Magic slots if they didn't get burned in battle, and convert their 1st level sorcerer slots to sorcery points. Here's the exact language I've used: What does it mean to "raise the level cap"? You probably won't get into this range, but add it to the things a character might take into consideration while making decisions on whether to multiclass, how deep, when, etc. since they know they can go three levels deep in a side hustle and still max out their main gig. • No class can exceed level 20, simply because there are no definitions beyond that point. This house rule will require multiclassing to be useful. • Your equivalent spellcaster level cannot exceed 20. • Similarly, your Proficiency bonus is capped at +6. • Your first class hit die never changes. After that, you only count your up-to-19 best Hit Dice. This applies both for calculating your maximum HP, and for how many (and what type) Hit Dice you get for healing. • All other mechanics that were not prepared with this higher level cap in mind will likewise be limited to 20 levels. If someone scans you for information and chooses to know your total level, they will see 20. • The leveling chart is extended as follows: ° Level 20 355,000 XP (the rule hasn't changed, but it was wrong in the last version of the calculator) ° Level 21 410,000 XP ° Level 22 470,000 XP ° Level 23 535,000 XP • The intent is to allow you to have your multiclassing cake (greater effectiveness in the early and mid-game) and eat it too (still get the cornerstone abilities of your class), up to a 3-level dip which is enough to get a sub-class no matter what second class is chosen. The hard choice of when to multiclass still remains, or whether to forego your capstone and take another ASI/Feat from Level 4 of the side hustle.

seems to me like star druid would be an amazing npc to encounter on some mountain trail or wilderness

Honestly the peace Domain is even more broken than the Twilight domain since you can stack the bond from peace as well as bless along with many other game breaking things.

Can't wait for you to get to the ranger, Davvy. :) I find the Fey Wanderer Ranger to be... interesting... to say the least. At least some of the features of the Rangers got a better alternative (looking at you nature's veil).

College of eloquence? They liked davvy so much they put him in the game!

Love how you slid in the powerthirst pic

Fun fact with collage of creation wording, it never says you can't animate an equipped item so feel free to (for example) animate the weapon the assassin hunting you is using.

PRESENTATION!

Isn't peace domain super broken too? The bonus from the bond, as long as you're within 30 feet of the cleric, once per turn you can add a d4 to your ability check, attack roll or saving throw. I mean, can the bonus from the tether stack with blessing and guidance? And if you have a bard in your party can it stack with bardic inspiration as well?

It specifically says that your Wildfire spirit can look how you want it to, so you Theoretically could make it look like a Desert Cat or a Lynx. WHich provides no light. Basically they didn't make it Mechanically provide light because that would limit what it could be More than just saying it exists and it has fire powers when it wants it.

Idk why, but I love: *Get Mad, Seek Violence*

Druids do have plant growth

I think Wildfire Druid could be fairly easily adapted to the other elements - Flood water druid, Earthshaker druid, and Windstorm druid, just by minor alterations to their spell lists, and changing the element of their companion. Everything else can stay the same, just flavoured slightly different.

Tbh i find Revivify (the spell that replaced Fireball) a much more suitable spell thematically speaking. The idea of the Wildfire Druid is the idea of "For the new to grow, the old must be destroyed". While yes i get it, fireball is incredibly powerful, useful and just an overall good fire spell, and certainly fits the "burn the old" aspect quite well, i really like the concept of someone who can breath life into the desolace, or even tapping into those destructive flames to reignite someone's life much more compelling. But again, i can understand why people would be upset, cause fireball.

As a warhammer player. I am very familiar with the d3 and its eldritch energys... But since we just use buckets if d6's instead if other kinds if dice it goes something like this: just roll a d6, 1 and 2 is a 1. 3 and 4 is a 2. 4 and 6 is a 3.

College of creation can't really affect the economy since you can only create 1 object at all times - if a new one is created, the old one vanishes. Only at 14 you get the ability to have charisma mod number of created objects at once, so it's like artificer infusions, sell one, the object vanishes, the previous owner gets really mad and send bounty hunters after you for being a scammer.

Davvy love your vids

For context for the Wildfire Druid having plant growth always prepared, in places where wildfires occur naturally, aka not caused by humans, many plants will not release their seeds until after a fire, allowing their offspring a chance to grow with less competition and allowing the area to essentially renew itself. As the class description says, the class is about both destruction and renewal through destruction, so while having a spell druids can already learn always prepared isn't as exciting as getting an outside-of-class spell, it is at least thematically appropriate. Perhaps by a similar train of thought, fireball is a bit big and out of control a fire spell for a class that would be theoretically more about controlled burn. Considering that your Spirit simply drops to zero when Blazing Revival procs and it doesn't specifically mention it bursting into a massive blaze phoenix style, spreading fire everywhere, that's probably what they were going with. Also, I'm sure your pyromaniac jokes were just that, jokes, but I imagine that a Wildfire Druid would see a pyromaniac as an abomination and perhaps a perversion of their own belief of destruction for the sake of renewal into destruction for destruction's sake. I can genuinely imagine a party with an Evoker and a Wildfire Druid both serving as DPS blasters, but having a tumultuous interpersonal relationship due to differing ph
