None whatsoever! And we were still pretty much nubes at the time.

Yeah probably not his horde ya know

TheAstyanii the fight did took 2 hours so it’s understandable they forgot about the treasure room by the time they finished

Yeah no that was probably the dragon’s treasure hoard

@@spyette1028 yap, they go down they get fucked, they go up they get blinded, its hella convenient

In 1st edition, my players used to bury the unconscious people because they didn't bother to check if they were dead yet. (In 3rd edition terms, think of them as -1 hp and stabilised.)

Nice.

Algolei I see, that's the kind of shit that gets you haunted.

They couldn't see him since he was matte and dark-skinned lol. (Trying to say this in a way that doesn't get people shouting racist even though I'm describing a physical attribute of a fictional character.)

I bet that fall was ABSERD-ly long.

It is great plan!

not really i mean hitting the ground so hard you develop a personality is more possible than hitting the ground so hard you acquire a new skill set.

come across an ancient shrine. only Teifling can enter. the sword is stuck inside something.when he pulls it out, *boom* the shrine rewrites reality to make the Teifling a sword mage. bright light, when it dims the shrine is gone.

@@glitterboy2098 when the tyfling pulls it out a blinding light happens. When the light dies the tyfling looks different older. They were pulled to an alternate dimension and taught the way of the sword and the basics of channeling magic into it. They were away for a year in their prespective.

Or... that he hit his head so hard, he got concusses and suffered neural damage that makes it so that he can’t use spells unless it’s with a sword.

@@firrigagamer8281 Then how did he learn to use a sword and also learn special skills only usable when using magic through a sword?

RFDN0 He didn’t. He’s just really good at swinging things to hit stuff.

With the amount of concussions I got as a child I should be at least a level 12 wizard

blame the ground, that asshole owes me a magical sword as well.

I never hit the ground, but I hit a lot of other things. Like walls. And tables. And doors. And chairs. And a couch. And a stove. And several vehicles. I should be at least a 20th level barbarian with the amount of HP I must've had as a kid.

ヘイローキャラ I once hit a glass door in full sprint. Didnt see it... cause its glass. I think the place put stickers on the door after that.

Always carry a cookie-cutter form of a sword with you and hold it in front of you when you fall. It just might work.

Lord Ruxlin Hogie Ikr seems kinda dumb they forgot to get the treasure after beating the dragon.

@@madhatten00 they could have just jumped back in the hole they fell in, or go back through the exit they came out of.

Cindy Ho ikr. Im one of those that reach the final room of the quest and then i will run back through every tunnel again just to make sure.

madhatten00 2hr fight they where probably done at that point PCs and people wise

Jonathan Hamilton dm, a bit of a d... i wud fudge numbers if i know the party gonna win anyways just to not waste so much time.

Duke5150 Chrona's Black Blood suggests that the Warlock would be in no condition for a Dragon Fight after that, unless the Cleric landed first and uses Hitting the Ground to Grant Resistance

yet somehow that makes more sense than "he hit the ground so hard he changed classes"

I introduced Delta Green agents like that in Call of Cthulhu. When my group failed the scenario, the players who's characters had died would return to the scene with pre-made Delta Green agents who had very low sanity, random phobias and compulsions, and were just ridiculous and heavily armed. Each agent would arrive on the scene in a ridiculous way, and every time one died another would immediately take their place, popping out of nowhere. In one module, a Delta Green agent kayaked out of the corpse of a Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath while wielding a rocket launcher.

Da Kat ‘don’t skimp out’ not ‘don’t not make sense’

Or maybe have him disturb a tomb and get possessed by the ghost of a swordmage?

Spindan best comment ever

and visa versa ;)

Charmle not necessarily,there can be a treasure hoard without a dragon,but its usually a trap in those instances

“Nobody leaves a treasure hoard just Lyin’ around” ... except dragons.

One does not simply find a few thousand GP plus Gems, without a Dragon.

The main thing is they beat the dragon and forgot to turn back for the gold

He doesnt seem like the most creative guy in the world.

Dennis Deal that makes it two of us, muahaha I once made a player fret so bad over a nearly harmless fungi that he pushed a lit torch on his own face

I'm going to start DM'ing for the first time soon. You guys are giving me so much inspiration.

Just remember that it is never you against the players. You are there to provide the environment/world for them to play in. That world and environment is one where things will happen. Especially if the players make decisions that will have unintended consequences to their actions. When the DM smiles, it is already far too late. So smile all the time...... And have fun.

Hugo Fontes Why would he push a lit torch in his face?

Leevi Piittala maybe he thought he was hallucinating and the pain would shock him out of it?

Hesakii Hesakii lmao, ahhh my poor lungs

Lamc B. Thanks

Ok thats a good one.

I can't come up with a better pun without resorting to vulgarities... well done.

Hesakii Hesakii Or a Wizsword? Eh? Eh?

Tyfling is wrong pronunciation, it's actually teafling or teefling or something of the sorts. It's something a lot of people get wrong apparently.

It's spelled Teifling, and it's pronounced TEEF-lings

You are correct. The name "Tiefling" is German as the word breaks down into two parts. "Tief" means "Deep" and "ling" means "offspring" in reference to the fact that devils come from the lower planes and that the Tieflings are descended from them in some capacity.

@@SchwhatNow can we start a petition to have all tieflings that are pronounced tyfling be drawn wearing ties? neck ties, bow ties, bolo ties?

it's pronounced Fee-flung

Francesco pats your head*dont worry...none of us were or still are

Long ago when I was first introduced to D&D 5e I was playing the average chaotic evil edgy necromancer because I loved being one and it was something I could easily fall back on. One thing about that guy though was that he had a habit of falling, a lot, and always flat on his face regardless of situation. (It even became a running joke since my characters always seemed to have the same problem) So if concussions gave powers that guy would have basically killed the main antagonist with his newly found unlimited power and murder-death-kill anyone who would even try and disturb his research afterwards.

Francesco WELP

Wouldn't the concussions change your known abilities and spells all the time? One moment you're trying to cast fireball, the next you remember that you're a ranger now.

Don't pat his head! Why would you do that, your heartless, horrible creature! You'll give him flashbacks!

Could even just be a portal to a alternate reality where the two switched places. Now the other group has a warlock and this one has a swordmage.

Just switch to alternative dimension where everything worked exactly the same but tiefling was diffrent class

Yeah like chief O'Brien in DS9.

Jacob Sailer he fell into a portal, hit his head so hard he became a sword mage and fell back through the same portal back into our world

My character once died, and the dm let me come back as a different class. The different class was a homebrew I needed to playtest and the reason I got to play the same character was because my character was super stubborn and literally just refused to die. The DM made this explanation before I picked the character back up. He was going to have us kill her because she willed herself into a state of undeath.

At least he was still conscious. There is a tendency in games I play for my characters to be carried around unconscious for days without any attempt by my party to actually heal them. In fact just a few days ago I was playing in a campaign that saw my character get drugged and put into a cocoon by a spider demon. After reluctantly saving me and slaying the creature some of the party members elected to just drag him along for hours on a dirt path through the woods while he was sleeping. I was checked into the inn of the next town we visited as luggage. Eventually the innkeeper discovered that there was something alive in the sack and cut me out. I hadn't eaten in days but I managed to barter a meal out of him in exchange for all the money I had on me. It becomes even better when you realize that my character is a monk who is considered an ambassador from Heaven to the Realm of Man. (The system is a brand-new one based in medieval Japan that I've helped alpha test and beta test the last two years so I've been playing this for as long as it has existed.)

At least you have material to condemn them all to hell.

I'm the only human in our group which consists of an Oni (Hell Ogre), Bakeneko(Twin-tailed Cat), and Youma (Soul Vampire). Putting them into hell wouldn't work.

My party once carried my character around for 3 hours because I was too tired to do math. I had 21 hit points and took 17 damage, and thought I was at -4 (because, y'know...17-21 = -4, right?). Three hours later, my DM caught my mistake when I recounted how I'd fallen in the fight, and he realised his monster did 17 damage against my 21 hp, not the other way around. So my character suddenly woke up and thanked the others for the pleasant nap!

If I throw them to the void then they tend to come back as horrible monsters bent on revenge. At least that's what happened the last time a party member was tied up and shoved through a void portal.

Matthew Bishop actually of all the class changes via head trauma. That seems like the one that could happen by just giving the character brain damage or something

Technically, a 5e Barbarian can maintain their Rage by attacking the air or punching himself. Maintaining it just requires attacking or being attacked each round. Enemy out of your attack ranges? Stab the ground.

Things like that is why in 4th edition they (WotC) had to come up with an FAQ ruling that something had to pose a credible threat to you (and your party) in order for attacks like the clerics healing at-will to work. This is also know as "Bag of Rats"

Bryan Woods so barbarian is basically tank from Left 4 Dead then

"Actually I broke my pact last night because I got a better offer. The whole fight was in my soul... I think? I'm not super privy to the details, regardless I'm now no longer beholden to my old patron AND I got this sword out of it!" "But where did you get the spells from?" "It's called reading something that isn't the same religious text all the time, try it."

I like that a lot better than what you're probably going to see Ben explain in the next video of how I got the sword and the consequences of it.

"Im sorry Mr and Misses Solar, but the damage is... terminal..." *Sobbing) Did they at least get their magic sword? ". . . Thats not how . . . medicine.... how do you think" Doctor.exe has crashed

Joseph: OH NO!

Permanent brain damage? "I said Swordmage not Barbarian!"

Outrageous actions prevent you being out of rage.

Unarmed Strike yourself in the face Bonus Action, then Dodge Primary Action lol Edit: that probably wouldn't work lol

yeah as soon as i see one of my players treating it as ''mechanics'' and not a world i homebrew those shit mechanics.

Clawz Dayz specifically his Rage which grants non-magical Bludgeoning + Piercing + Slashing Resistance required him to use his Action to attack an enemy, otherwise, it wears off, and he'd be forced to expend one of his limited Rage Slots (which is not unlimited until Lv 20) as a Bonus Action on his next Turn, meanwhile, he's Open Season because his Rage wears off at the end of his turn, so between Turns, he's a bigger bullseye than a Shield of Missile Attraction Curse on a Naked Bard If I'm not mistaken, he'd be under a Frenzied Rage specifically for this additional restriction, it's because he's getting a very hefty boost (1 extra Attack per Turn) in addition to his Rage Bonuses, so he'd mutilate a Corpse it allowed him one extra Turn of it lol

You go back and someone else has already cleaned it out.

This explains that unguarded treasure hoard my party and I found that one time!

We couldn't go back. The hoard was sealed off by (you guessed it: magic) and the only way into that cave was through a DARK portal that got us there in the first place and was gone forever after we exited after fighting the dragon.

Worse: you can go back for the Treasure, but the Sword Mage will switch back! Plus, all of the crazy Illusions will be back

@@adamcorfman573 Couldn't just jump back down the hole?

gnarth d'arkanen nah, he goes a step further and actually goes to Adventure League

gnarth d'arkanen lol

Nathan Holstrom only if they are below Lv 6, after that, he's stuck with it, and according to the dialogue, they're pretty deep in the campaign, so, likely Lv 7, as that's when the Spells start getting worth a damn. (I play a Lv 1 Shadow Sorceress, I should know when the Spells start becoming amazing)

Nathan Holstrom it's a rule in Adventure League, once you get past Lv 5, no more changes to the Character, if you don't like the fact that you are playing a character with the behavioral capacity of Luna Lovegood with none of the intelligence, but you just hit Lv 6, you have 2 options, find a way to lose a Level (I suggest Wish Spell), or Death (I suggest making love to an Ooze), option 3 is to suck it up because you are stuck with whatever Race, Class, & Background is on your Sheet. It's a rule, and it's set by Wizards of the Coast, Copyright Holders of D&D.

Nathan Holstrom you would be forced to start the different Character over at Lv 1. Any RATIONAL person would simply deal with the consequences, which is the entire interesting point that drives any worthy campaign, if you really want to change that badly, I suggest Wish Spell, because it would work, and doesn't entirely derail everything, hell, it might even be fun to go hunting for the stuff required to Cast it, including someone or something that is capable. If you have such a problem with the company that owns the content, then I suggest you stop using their products and simply move on with your life, complaining to Random people on the internet about the company is simply providing them with free Advertising, they're not even paying you and you already did 2 posts mentioning them directly, clearly you don't have such a bad hatred for them as you claim, otherwise you wouldn't be ranting about them, you'd simply be doing better things with your time.

Wackyjim T at least he didn't try casting Darkness.

Something tells me it was a trap either way.

What if the moment you throw the rock an illusion of the rock is placed over the real rock, and at the moment the real rock comes in contact with the gold the illusion rock bounces off while the real one passes through leaving you none the wiser?

Matthew Bishop Anti-Magic Shield

Zachary Rivera p

@@georgesears934 Damn, the DM'd have to be some time of *DEVIL* to do that!

I think it would be better to just have him find the sword, pick it up and voila, *magic!* He's now a new class.

You could always just have a monster do it. Homebrew one and easy.

Lucas Akame as he’s falling in the hole, he sees a sword. Reaches out to it, misses, but it glows, rockets from the side of the hole, and slowly glides them down to safety.

I mean, malfuctioning magic item/magic place is a good way to add magic to someone AND it can be a cool piece of lore. "The ruby you found had the spirit of a sorcerer inside, and now it's trying to control you. You got magic, but you need to get rid of the spirit soon. Hide it for now while we finish the main quest."

he already had magic though so a little weirder to pull.

The dragon was smart yes. I was not so much in that 5th ed. campaign. When I cast darkness on the dragon, and then learned that it was bad for us, good for the dragon: that was the moment I knew ... I f*cked up.

Stonersloth Hughes only 90s kids remember

Yup, but unfortunatly the players had Truesight.

Mamamew TheRani Diplomancy!!!

I was hesitant to change at first. I liked my Warlock, but the GM said there needed to be another defender class in the group since someone else, Paladin in the group, left the party as he moved to another state.

That's dumb. Mandating a certain party dynamic like that is just indicative of his own inability to adjust encounters.

yeah that sucks. My players consist of a rogue, a ranger, and a sorcerer. Super squishy, hard to make encounters for. A good DM knows how to adjust things to make a game fun.

And good players learn how to take on encounters that aren't hand-crafted just for them.

Ikr, They actually got me into them! P.S. it's called Tabletop RPG's, not games. A game would be like, Monopoly, or Uno.

Blakeo32 the Wall is a legit Target, he was trying to trigger a Cave in with his Fist… he wasn't very good at it.

The bag of rats rule can't be circumvented by lame excuses the player comes up with. A legitimate target must be a legitimate target. Almost surely one of the monsters in the room.

@@JeremyMacDonald1973 define, "attack" then...."I try to attack the legitimate monster in the rooms with shockwaves by punching the nearest wall"

@@szarekhthesilent2047 It is not attack we need to define but legitimate target - which the wall is not. I mean this so obviously falls under the Bag of Rats rule.

@@JeremyMacDonald1973 But the wall isn't the target. the dragon is. The Char just punches the wall to create the shockwaves, that are meant to "attack" the dragon.

ok... so what was the spell? and how did the dragon die so quick? you spent a lot of time explaining how cool you thought you were, but nothing explaining what actually happened

Don't remember the spell, it's been like 6 years since that campaign. Nontheless, I did a little research and I belive he had spells from PgtF (cuz' I remember him casting Nybor this Nybor that). On the second question: The party was big, so having a prone enemy would pay huge dividends. I belive we were a Hammer of Moradin, a Bard/dragon plate(or something dragon like), a druid, x2 hunters, an assassin/ww, a Priest Hierophant/Mystic theurge and the Red Wizard (with his empowered spells from his cult, not sure if he was already an Archmage by that time, he was one at the end of that campaign thou). Edit: a Barbarian also, same character from a previous campaign of the Dm that started playing in this new campaign with all of what he had won/got: so this guy was particular ahead on the magic item curve, compared to all the other newly crafted pgs of this campaing As for your last part of your comment, I tried to make my experience brief, trying to get to the point. Otherwise nobody got time to read the story of ones life from a random dude. Cheers I guess I should also add, that the Gm was not expecting the Dragon to get steamrolled that bad. He was pretty shocked and sad for what that happended (not even sure if some of the heavy melee hitters on the party rolled a 20 for free dmg on that fight, it's been to long: can't remember all the details).

Kara0ke IT I believe that there's a few videos on this channel about Power Gamers and pointing out the rules they're abusing to the GM

what a surprising plot twist

And now he has me doing it, too, half the time. >:/

The horror!

He hit the ground so hard he messed up how to properly say TEEFling. >:U

I always pronounced it Tie-fling as well. Just didn't sit right for me for some reason to say Tiefling as Tee-fling.

Too many years of German language taught me that "when I and E go walking, E does all the talking." (and vise versa) And German actually follows this rule, unlike the "I before E, except after C" lie from English. So it is, and will always be, Teef-ling"
