Awesome! I'm happy it helped.

Thanks, I'm happy people are finding it useful. I want to make more of these videos, but time keeps slipping by. I need to get my stuff in order and make the time.

I totally agree. My wife and I were playing online via Roll20.net and I play a loose version (mostly role playing) with my 5 year old. D&D is an excellent way to pass the time when in quarantine.

That's so awesome. I'm do happy this video helped you. I wanted to make the video as helpful as possible, the character sheet can be very daunting and overwhelming if you aren't sure what is going on.

I’m happy to hear that you found this video helpful.

Awesome, happy it helps. Great life choice, I approve 😁

Awesome, I'm happy it helps.

I'm so happy it was useful. Was it your first time DMimg? Or did you just have a few new players around the table?

Thanks for the subscribe. My internet was to make a clear video. I’m happy you found it useful.

You are very welcome. There’s a lot going on but it’s not so bad when you break it down into smaller chunks.

Welcome to D&D. I'm very happy you found this video helpful.

That sounds like a great time. You are welcome, I’m glad you found the video helpful. If you have any questions feel free to to ask. Time and life keep me from posting regularly but I like to help out any time someone has a question.

Awesome, I'm happy you found it useful.

Wonderful, happy you like it. If there is any feedback or thoughts on things that may be missing let me know and I can address them in a future Video.

You are very welcome. I’m super happy you found it useful. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Moron is not the right word at all. D&D can be a very hard game to understand if you are not us to rpg games. I do plan on doing a video about the proficiency bonus and where to apply it. I have an ability score video shot and 90% edited, hopefully posting in the next week then I'm moving on to saving throws, skill checks and proficiency.

I've been off track big time. I had some issues with computer and life(solved now) so I need to get back to creating content for this channel. People seem to be responding positively and I really do enjoy helping answer these questions.

In the meantime proficiency is added to any skill or weapons you are proficient in(decided by your race, class and background). So if you have proficiency with a skill you add the bonus to that skill, above the base bonus associated with that skill. This explanation probably doesn't help very much, but a video will help clear things up quite a bit, so you can see where and how to apply it.

Wonderful, I'm happy it helps.

You are welcome. I’m happy you found it helpful.

I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for adding those times, very helpful.

@@FitzTheGame Glad I could help. You just earned another subscriber

Happy to have you.

Wonderful, I'm happy to have helped.

That's fantastic. I started by DMing, didn't know a thing about how to play and just dove in head first. The fifth edition starter set is a great place to get going. They do a good job of breaking things down for a new DM. There is a lot to learn in the beginning, but just remember the main focus is to have fun and just make a decision on rules if you don't know the answer, thins are very customizable and flexible.

FitzTheGame yeah I’m a big believer in “house rules”. There’s the right way , the wrong way, and then there’s the way we play it here lol

@@ryanratterree2119 the way you want to play it is always the right way. I bet your kids will love it.

The different types of dice provide a balance for the different areas of gameplay. If you were rolling a d20 for healing and damage rolls you would have the potential to greatly unbalance every fight. Also, it adds flavor and strategy to weapons. It's worth using the larger axe because you get to roll a larger die and have potential to do more damage, and the small dagger is a small slash of d4 damage because it isn't as deadly as a huge axe in the hands of a large barbarian.

You are very welcome.

Wonderful. I'm happy you found it helpful.

Awesome, I'm very happy you find it useful.

That’s awesome. I’m super happy that you found this video useful.

Thanks again😍

Fantastic. Hopefully there will be some new ones soon too. I've been working on one for over a year lol. Had some computer problems, they are sorted now though.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks, can you tell my wife that? Lol all jokes aside, thanks you. I looked for a video like this when I started playing, but couldn’t find it. So I made it hoping it would help someone else.

I’m happy it helped. I’m a big fan Mr Zero. Can’t wait to see your new movie coming out this Friday.

This is true. I must have just plugged in a number instead of refering to the number I had already used. Oversight on my part. I pinned your comment to the top hopefully if anyone gets confused they'll see it in the comments.

Thank you.

@@FitzTheGame thank u for ur effort :)

Yes, I definitely can. I’m working on a proficiency right now. After that I’ll move into the attacks section, then spells after that. Thanks for watching, I’ll try and get those out ASAP.

@@FitzTheGame thanks that would be very helpful

Hey, sorry life got kinda crazy and out of hand for a while. Its been far too long since I've uploaded. I actually did the next part in the 101 series: ability scores. Breaking down how to generate them and what they are used for. Only problem was my 10 year old computer wasn't a fan of it. I spent weeks working on it and it still isn't done. I'll start working on it again this week and see if I can't get it uploaded by the end of the month.

@@FitzTheGame I completely understand. This kind of stuff is hard to keep up with. If I didn't think that you did such a good job on this video, I wouldn't have said anything, so keep it up when you can!

@@hankharkin thanks. My intent with these videos was to make a clear and to the point explanation of how to navigate the game of D&D. If I could have helped just one person my work would be done. I am over the moon with all of the positive feedback I've received. There seems to be quite a few people finding this video helpful so I'd like to get back to helping any way I can.

Fantastic, I hope they find it useful. I’m super happy that so many people find this video helpful, it is exactly the video I looked for when I began playing D&D but couldn’t find. I’m pumped that you enjoy CLANK! It’s such a great game.

Good question. The answer is on page 186 of the players handbook under long rest. When you take a long rest you recover a number of hit die equal to half of your total number of hit die(minimum of 1). So, if you have 4 total hit die and you have used them all on a short rest, when you take a long rest you would recover 2 of your spent hit die. Note: unless told otherwise by the rules or your DM, you usually round down at an odd number. If you have 5 total hit die and you. Take a short rest, you still recover 2 hit die. Note 2: it is your total number of hit die, so if you multiclass and have 2 different classes you regain half of the total from both classes. Note 3: remember to check with your DM if you have any questions. The final choice on how to recover hit dice is up to them. They may use variant rules on recovery.

I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Happy you liked it. Welcome to the game.

No problem, I'm happy you find it helpful.

I'm happy you found this video useful.

I'm happy you like it. I looked for this video when I started playing and couldn't find it. So I made it.

@@FitzTheGame I even saved it on a playlist I made specifically to learn about D&D. Me and my friends appreciate your video. You just made it easy for us to get into this really deep and intriguing hobby

That's awesome, it's a great hobby, can be a bit confusing at first though. Try to not get hung up on the rules though, just focus on having fun and what works for you.

Great idea. I need to return to making videos. Time keeps flying by and the excuses aren't going anywhere. You can only achieve what you make time to achieve. 👍

Great question. That would totally be acceptable, would save a lot of paper too. You would just need a fine tip pen, some of the boxes are pretty small. Also, don’t erase anything by accident lol. It’s not really all that often that you need to erase a number, mostly just your hit points, which you could track on a separate sheet of you want to maintain the integrity of your sheet. There is a great online tool called D&D Beyond(dndbeyond.com) that would get rid of the paper altogether. It works really well and is always on you if you have a smart phone. It even has virtual dice.

Hey, the spell casting sheet isn’t something that you “need” to play, technically you don’t need any of the sheets to play. That being said I find the spell casting sheet very handy when playing a casting character, it’s a one stop shop for all your spell casting needs. If you happen to be playing a class that doesn’t have any form of spell casting it you would have zero use for the spell casting sheet, unless you need some scrap paper. If you do want the spell casting sheet you can download free PDFs on the wizards of the coast website (link in the description of this video). There are also alternate versions of the character sheet there as well. Also if you go to the dmsguild.com and search “class name” character sheet(ie: Wizard Character Sheet or Cleric Character Sheet) there are some class focused redesigns of the character sheet that are pretty sweet.

This is correct. Unless you gain magic from somewhere (ie: drow has dancing lights cantrip no matter the class). You really don't need the spell sheet in that case though, you could just make a note on the main sheet if you want.

@@FitzTheGame Thanks!

Fantastic! Welcome back! In introduced my wife to D&D in 2017, she had no interest before we played but finally gave in and tried it. That game turned into a 3 year long campaign.

You will add your proficiency bonus to both. Also, as you level up and your proficiency bonus goes up, and so does the value next to your saving throws you are proficient in.

You are welcome. I'm happy so many people are finding it useful. I looked for a video like this when I started playing, couldn't find one so I made one lol.

Haha, I’ve just started playing myself and I love it. Looking forward to your content.

I guess I should get to it and start making some more content lol.

I eagerly await.

You are welcome

What part exactly are you looking for? The info is spread throughout the players handbook.

No I don't. That's a great idea for my next video though. I'll try my best to get that done ASAP. It's about time I got back to making videos.

Great question, I remember seeing a few issues like this in the starters set pre generated sheets. I’ll break it down part by part, for anyone with the same issue in the future. Passive perception is equal to 10 plus your wisdom modifier, and you also add you proficiency bonus if you are proficient with the perception skill. So if you have a 16 or 17 as a base wisdom score(giving you a wisdom modifier of +3), and are not proficient with the perception skill, you are correct in saying your passive perception is 13. Go ahead and put a 13 in the box. It was just an oversight on the part of Wizards of the coast when printing the sheets. Note: just a friendly reminder, the passive perception is more for the DM to use to grant information to players that are observant without having them make a roll. So Wizards of the coast may have left it blank to not confuse new players with another number that has a similar game mechanic as the regular perception check. I hope that answers your question.

@@FitzTheGame yes it does, thankyou

@@aaravshah4432 you are welcome.

This is the currency: CP = copper piece SP = silver piece EP = electrum piece GP = gold piece PP = platinum piece The starting wealth for your class can be found on page 143 of the players handbook. There is also a conversion table. Copper being the base 1 piece. 10 copper = 1 silver 5 silver = 1 electrum 2 electrum = 1 gold 10 gold = 1 platinum The table breaks down the whole list of conversions.

@@FitzTheGame Thanks 😄😄😄😄

Also, different DMs can do wealth different ways. On D&D Beyond you choose your level of wealth from a drop down list. Or you could use the table I mentioned before and use that to but starting gear then what you have left over is your money. Or numerous other ways.

I believe the the example I used in the video was From one of the starter set character sheets.

@@FitzTheGame Im planning to use starter equipment from my class and folk hero background, and the money i have is 10G in my belt pouch :)

The other two are not really needed, but the spell sheet is really handy if you are playing any spell casting class. The spell sheet let’s you keep track of your spells, spell save dc, spell attack bonus, and your spell casting stat. You could have all of this on your main sheet but it would get crowded quickly. If you are playing a class without any spell casting ability the other two sheets are kinda useless, unless you are concerned with keeping track of a lot of character information.

@@FitzTheGame ok thx I’m new to the game so I was just asking

Welcome to the game, it’s a great one. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Google eye, it definitely is a deathly hallows T-shirt. Also, I’m happy you found the video helpful.

There isn’t a specific area set for Monk abilities. I would normally place the under the “Features and Traits” section on the first page. That being said, you are free to place the anywhere you want on any other sheet as well. You could use a spell sheet to keep track of the abilities as you level up. Alternatively, and probably a much better option, you can download a Monk specific character sheet from the Dmsguild.com. Emmet Byrne has a great character sheet available at a pay what you want price. There are class specific sheets for all classes that rearrange the character sheet to fit the specific skills of your class.

@@FitzTheGame Okay, thank you!

@@GrumbleGrimbus you are welcome.

💯 whoop whoop. I'm so happy people find this video useful.

Frustrated with what? Finding it difficult to learn the game?

@@FitzTheGame No, I still have difficulty making my character. See, I'm not that fluent in English.

Ah, is there one area that is giving you trouble? I do have more videos planned explaining the process, I've just been putting it off for far too long because of other things that have been going on. If I can help in anyway let me know.

@@FitzTheGame well, I did have a bit of trouble doing the equipment thing, but I've figured it out ^^

@@FitzTheGame but I'm also having trouble figuring out spells and attacks cause I'm new to d&d. But also, the hit dice stuff is pretty confusing for me haha
