Cats (as in the beast, not tressyms that are magical beasts) should NEVER have darkvision. Darkvision is literally the ability to see without ANY light whatsoever (even though it is treated as dim light, and therefore Perception checks are done with disadvantage). If you give normal felines darkvision, you must logically give other creatures that cannot see in absolute darkness darkvision. Heck, you might even have an argument for humans that "are just used to it." If everyone has darkvision, nobody does.

@15:40 It's always so weird when that happens. I was running a Star Wars game once, and the players had to get to Padme's tomb to recover a disk that was hidden there, but there was an Imperial crackdown on rebels ongoing, so the players were given a Gungan guide to get past the Imperials. Naturally, the guide gets killed by Imperials just as the group reaches the forest, so the group will need to decide what to do next as they flee. Instead, the Wookie player grabs the corpse, and runs with it, demanding that the group take it to the Gungans for burial. A Gungan town is kind of on the way, so whatever. The people in the village realize the corpse was an aide to Senator Jar Jar years ago, and promise to do a funeral since he redeemed himself. But no. Now, the group wants to go to Jar Jar to learn this guy's whole story, convinced it would be important, even though it obviously wasn't. So they manage to steal a vehicle and reach the rural hut Jar Jar was living in, only now he's depressed, and he has a limp from the ISB breaking his leg; he tells them his history as senator, and then takes them on a secret path to Padme's tomb. Big nothing burger, time to move on with the story. Long story short, the Empire gets overthrown, and Jar Jar is now elected chancellor because the party brute forced him into becoming one of the leaders of the New Republic after they guilted him into helping the Rebels. So...yeah.

Resurrection (and other raise dead effects) bring the soul back from the afterlife into the body, so whichever half of the body you cast the spell on first would get the soul, and the other spell would fail. I think the only way you could get something interesting to happen is to have 2 spellcasters coordinating their castings of Resurrection so that they go off at the exact same time. And in that case, it'd be up to the DM what happens!

I feel like the jokes are funny when its pandered towards your own sessions and not just generalized like "haha the bard had segs with the dragon classic". For example, I played an old dnd session where the dm gave permission to one of the players to be a tiny whale instead of the other any of the provided races. There was an ongoing joke in the party that when someone asked for something from them (usually something like asking them to grab an object) they couldn't and usually responded with "I don't know what you want from me I'm a whale". This grew to be even funnier when at the second to last session the player had never actually chose a race with stats or bonuses and just wrote "whale" and continued on with character creation.

@11:20 I absolutely agree. People tend to spend way too much time rolling for stuff that isn't risky. Even 3.5 (which I run) has lots of stuff to help you roll fewer dice, such as taking a 10. Like, if a guy wants to jump 10ft across a ravine, and there's space to run up, and he isn't under pressure (such as during a fight or escape scene or such) and he doesnt have a huge negative modifier to his jump checks (from being slow or wearing heavy armor), it's an auto pass because the DC is only 10 and i'll just let them take a 10 instead of rolling.

I watch these not because I care if Jacob laughs or not, but because I want someone else to curate good memes for me.

One of the things I like about some of the DMs I play with is that they are really loose with skill rolls with things like long jumps. If the jump is within your capabilities to achieve within the rules (16 str, 16 ft long jump), they'll make you roll for the jump, but the pass DC is super low, like 7-8. That way, barring a roll of 1 or 2, you'll succeed with your modifiers.
