47:56 Oh no, Pluto is now armed! On a more serious note, I think it's great to see a game like this one where the players aren't totally serious or completely into character but just sort of messing about and having fun, and yet the DM is able to kind of keep the action rolling without feeling like he's bearing down on them or trying to force them ahead. Just a great game vibe all around.

Alaro Sebaster Realistically your character probably wouldn’t have any prior knowledge about gelatinous cubes so it’s technically meta gaming for you to ask about the floor and act cautiously when you see a clean floor in a dungeon. You’d be role playing knowledge that your character doesn’t have, which is wrong.

I love how Kelly admits this happens every time. Though I must admit that he's great at getting into character. Sabastian is a person who is quite visual, rushing into situations and relying on his verbal and fire skills to solve any problem. So for him, considering there is a problem that he might not be able to see is preposterous. Kelly knows about gelatinous cubes, but he got so into his character that Sebastian walked in not even considering "why are my friends being cautious?"

@generalrendar7290 3 жыл бұрын

@@cooper7655 if you are concerned about "meta gaming" or finding a way to role play it you could use expertise in survival, investigation, possibly history to recognize that if a sewer is particularly clean in abandoned city that you could at least deduce that something is up, especially if skeletons are picked clean and no organic material is there. Maybe throw some rocks in the different corners to see what goes after them.

@@anonarchia3542 She's used it every time, she's missed some shots due to rolls, but I've been paying close attention to their resource/ability use (because they play 3 of my favorite subclasses) and she's definitely the most consistent. Pluto, on the other hand, has used his maneuvers 2-3 times total and action surged only twice lol. In his defense though, they've been alpha striking most of the sub-bosses in round 1 or 2 due to Veo and Sebastian nuking them with spells or gloomstalker extra attacks before Sebastian can close the distance. Sebastian has been pretty good about using his spell slots, though I think there were a couple of sessions when he ended the day with unused level 2 slots and/or sorcery points.
