Thank you so much, Nate. I am new to D&D and joining a beginners campaign here locally. My new friends have suggested several channels for my training; and they were 'ok'. But I happened upon your channel day-before-yesterday, and I have used your videos as my primary source of info since that point. I sincerely appreciate your direct delivery without any of the horseplay and general "goofiness" of some of these other channels. Keep it up, and thanks again!

Something in the family bloodline Me: Midichlorians.

I created my first character and played my first dnd session last night with some co-workers after binge watching several of your videos. It was everyone's first time and i sent everyone links for your videos and youtube. Your videos are very helpful and make the first learning curve easier to understand. Our dm started us on the Storm kings thunder and i got knocked down to 0 hps a couple of times but kept getting up and we still prevailed. please keep up the good work. Thank you very much.

when I made my sorcerer character, we were using the variant human rules, so I took the tough feat, and with my draconic bloodline, and a +3 constitution modifier, I have 12 HP and an AC of 13 at level one

Thank you so much for doing this series. I had my first D&D session 2 weeks ago and I came prepared as one can be with my character sheet done for my sorcerer and a basic understanding of the game mechanics thanks to you. Everyone was surprised I had everything done right. I'd looked at a bunch of videos by others, but really, yours were the only ones that put everything together and clicked for me. Thanks again!

This was unbelievably useful thank you. I usually play classes that don't really mess with magic so this video gave me a good chance to broaden my D&D horizons :)

Thanks dude. I have not made any Sorcerer characters and this was a good break from my commissions (which were mostly Rogue, Fighter and Ranger). Great job!

About to start playing d&d with some friends for the first time and I am playing this class, this video has helped a lot thank you

THANK YOU!For all your videos I am really new to dnd this helped my friends and my dad whois not new to dnd but has not played it since 3.5.

11:04 kinda glad you pointed this feature out and mentioned it. I've been recently playing with a Noble background with my brother's D&D group, and my brother (the DM), kept stiffing that feature. Basically, whenever we were doing something we were meant to, or we were in an area we weren't meant to be, and a guard confronted us (once even a knight confronted us), I would try to tell him I have that feature, and I want to convince them that everything's fine. My brother's response was always "Yeah, they don't care about your position of power..."

Thank you so much for making this very helpful and informative video! This is my first time playing D&D and building a character is pretty difficult alone, but this video has helped me a lot! Thanks so much!!

great video Nate. Thanks!

I play a sorcerer in 3.5 but now I wanted to try a game running in 5e so this video was very useful, thanks

Woot! new character creation vid

Keep it up your vids are fantastic!

Uh, I’m kind of knew and just beginning on making my first character, I was looking in the book but couldn’t find the same things for the Dragonborn as what you were mentioning in the video for being human. Could you do a character creation for a dragon born, it would be really helpful. Thank you

I have almost this exact character in my current campaign

thanks so much for this it was so helpfull

Here you go guys: Intro - 0:00 Race - 1:45 Ability Scores - 5:33 Background - 9:00 Class - 12:38 Equipment - 20:32 Spells - 24:55 Loose ends - 27:26

If you fill out the class skills first and then pick background, you get to replace any duplicate skills you would've gained from your background with any other skill. Rules for this can be found in the player's handbook, p.118 (I think) under "Proficiencies". Hope that helps in case you want to min-max or get an easier time getting a combination of skills that you like :)

6:08 that feeling when you get a 5...

U gotta make more of these

ok heres my dragon sorcerer background (btw the character is 16 and human) Born to a family of dragon servants William is the last person to look Tal'sval in the eye as he received his blessing as just a baby. he grew up with his older brother JJ (a mischievous troublemaker) his farther Peter (a respectable chef and swordsmen) and his mouther Michele (a entertainer that taught him to play drums) his childhood was enjoyable despite threats from the orc and goblin tribes until one day they attacked their mountain home only he and his brother got out but got separated by the forest William now looks for his brother the only one he believes be alive it any good?

Can you make a tutorial on creating a campaign? Keep up the good vids!!

Fireball!

What page in the phb is the languages that i can choose

Hello, I started playing couple weeks ago. And was wondering how you get your Atk Bonus and what is it used for? And do you have to be proficient with that weapon to get the atk bonus?

What do I do to be a necromancer? I personally like the idea of a dark entity who is just a bit bored and wants to create a kingdom on a whim. I honestly don’t know what to do about it, and have no idea how to make a necromancer. Mind giving me a tip or two?

Off topic but does anyone know what pdf program that is? (the orange G or whatever icon it is). Keen to swap Adobe for that

Where does he get this character sheet to type in?

never played before thanks

Also, quick question, what is the statistical difference between a component pouch and an arcane focus?

What is the current hit points?

Hi nate could I make a request that you do a ferret compainion creation

What website is this?

as me and my mates are wanting to run a campaign with animal companions please do me a soild and make a video on this to gide me and others on creating animal compainuons many thanks Dan keep up the amazing work as you always have

Cool I used an human variant Three times before. First was my paladin that was dex base using shield master witch acted a lot like captain america. the seconds was an elemental monk that took magical adept druid (Shillelagh, burning Hands, and cure wounds), My last was a sorcerer with a ritual books wizard

For ability scores i use divide by 2 rounded down minus 5. Feels easier.

How does sorcery points work and what does converting spell slots to sorcery points mean? I cant see anywhere on your spell sheets where you add sorcery points.

Plz make a necromancer

Can you make one on a monk? I don't understand the Ki and stuff

I Like ur vids :D

How do you make a character online like that?

Hey when you do these can you recap the skill and saving throw numbers. just kinda hard to see. love your channel fallow you here and on F/B great job. you're yoga for my mind dude

I thought the feat Lucky allows one to roll an additional roll? (Making it an advantage AND turning disadvantage to advantages too...) It's an interesting feat, and COULD allow for some powerful moments.. Not my kinda thing~ I'd rather have Tavern Brawler! xDD

My sorcerer's origin, my dad knocked up a dragon

I didn't see him take his +1 to two traits. Did I miss that?

Do human race get a +1 to each ability or am I wrong?

How does one justify sorcerers learning new spells as they level up in a moderately "low fantasy"-type setting? I'd like my sorcerers decisions to be made in game somehow. Wizards retrieve lore and spell books and I really like that feeling and I wish there was a way to translate that to sorcerers in a way that makes sense thematically.

Wew I thought my ability rolls were bad 18,7 and all the rest being 12

Happnes if i get 22 on dic for ability. Score do add 20 or 22.,

I thought for passive perception is 10 add your wisdom mod and only ad perception mod if you are proficient

Why do people type character sheets, don't the stats change?

i feel this episode could've been more interesting. Like a different race and background maybe. idk i just feel I've seen this before. Anyway i still enjoy your vids!

Could I make a request? Im making my first character.(I've played ddo so I know a little about the basic mechanics) I wanted a basic half elf sorc. I managed hell of a roll for my stats. 17, 16, 15, 12, 12, and 11. I chose the hermit. I'd like to see what you'd do with this as a tutorial, I guess :)

Your formula don't work on ability scores below 10. Your 7 will be -1, and your 5 will be -2.

I love your videos, but arcana is pronounced “ar-con-a” not “ar-cay-na”.

>rolling ability scores ew
