Best moment so far: When the party decides to scale a cliff and thereby completely bypasses Mark’s plans. Then, while he’s trying to regroup, they proceed to not only distract him with Yesper’s daydream argument with Xiros, but also heckle Mark about not being prepared, due to their derailing 😂

I don't mind the played by Brendan Fraisier thing but calling him a himbo is perhaps something of a personal attack. I wonder what movies that Brendan Fraisier featured in that Mark has watched. I find the statement quite debatable. And Rick from the Mummy certainly isn't quite so dumb that I'd call him a himbo for example. To be a himbo you kind of have to be like Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove.

The trigger was the spider's movement, not its attack, so the readied reaction occurs immediately after the movement, which is BEFORE the spider's own attack.

Funny! I noticed the same thing. That combat series had me questioning how I have been using Readied Actions. I looked it up and confirmed that you are right, Strange Dog. Spiders moved so they get attacked *before* attacking the party. The trigger was the movement of the spiders. Trigger occurred, so the readied action is sprung.

This. I totally find it irritating when Mark quotes the rules but still gets the ruling wrong. How can he be cross with Tom for not listening if he keeps demonstrating that he isn't listening to himself. It's right there. So close and yet so far. SMDH.

I was looking through names for my next DnD character as my group is starting a new campaign next week when I realized that because of my race(shifter), Mist was a name option and I had already decided that my ranger companion(a panther) would be called Shadow, Mist and Shadow which is funny bc my group plays on Thursdays about 2 hours after the Curse of Strahd stream.

Tom is too sweet to play someone that made a deal with Asmodeus. I love how Trott is playing Yesper to be very anti dragon born right now because of the deals they made but I so wish Tom would just turn it on him and say “your people had a deal with Strahd for hundreds of years. How the hell can you possibly judge me when your kind allowed him to become what he is today?” Again, he’s too sweet for the world of Barovia.

41:26 I had that in college! If a professor was more than 15 minutes late then people would just start leaving. I couldn't in the early years cuz my parents always drove me but later on when I drove myself I could take full advantage! Only did a few times since I felt like a waste of learning not being there. Winter cancellations were welcome in the later years because of all the homework and I was glad to get a few extra days to finish or to study for a big exam. 1:27:42 I LOVED those movies as a kid! Would watch them at least once a day! Haven't watched for a while now since the first one was over 20 years ago & that is a MAJOR mind blown when I remember I was only 10 when the first movie came out. I had all the books and I was super interested in Egypt, mummies, magic, all that good stuff! Around that time when Harry Potter came out & I switched over to that for the most part. Still do like those movies, just haven't watched for some time.

I've always thought the ruling on extra attack not applying for readied action is unfair, if a spellcaster readies a spell and the trigger doesn't happen they loose the spell slot because narratively they cast the spell and hold the release for a trigger and if it doesn't come the magic fades, to me that means by the same merit the martial class is readying their full attack, and if anything for narrative value they should absolutely get the extra attack because they're tactically preparing themselves to take that action instead of spontaneously attacking.

rounds of combat happen in the same six seconds. Instead of using whatever opportunity you can to attack your opponent, you are waiting for a specific moment to strike. mechanically you are taking the "hold attack" action: you are not simply delaying your action, you are using your action in order to trigger an attack with your reaction (similar to an attack of opportunity).

I don't think explaining to Overlord the logic behind the implementation is going to sway their opinion as it's very much based on feelings. I happen to agree with them. Especially since I've only realized what the RAW actually are through some late stage Aerois play. It's much like the rules Mark enforces about player dialogue. Much to fussy and inhibits RP in battle (something that is already easy to neglect). I could easily point out that 6 seconds is the entire round for everyone so time gets very elastic for different numbers of participants. Which makes grousing about what an individual should be able to reasonably do a somewhat ridiculous concept.

That ruling on reddied actions doesnt seem correct. Pretty sure it's the movement that causes the reddied action to trigger. I.e. "If it moves near me I'll hit it" spider moves in range = reddied action
@christophercronkhite5694
@christophercronkhite5694 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I was going to say the same. It says “When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger.” The turn isn’t the trigger, “moving near me” was the trigger. Otherwise, readying an action would be was worse than it is.

Nowhere in the rules for readied action does it say the opponent would get an attack after the trigger. The trigger is the approach if the player has started "I hold it until they come near". If it was "I hold it until they attack" they would get an attack first. Also is Trott's attack a multi attack?? If so it's considered one action and he would get to do both attacks.
@danielhancock9347

To clarify, a readied action is considered the action of your turn, therefore you can make the multi attack as per the action description.

The first part is correct, the player would attack first, since the trigger was the enemy approaching. But the second part is wrong, Extra Attack can only occur on the players turn, the same way that you can only perform one attack during an opportunity attack.

@@LauroEsp I don't think this is right dude. The rules def8ne the readied action as your turn. Just taking place at a different point in time. That means the attack is on "your turn" so you would get the benefit. Pretty sure Jeremy Crawford clarified it somewhere.

Everyone always reacts so bad to the dicerolls. If it's really a problem, just decide that everyone takes 10 on all rolls, and it will be purely a game of what skills your chatacter has. Seems a bit boring to me, though. When the skilled miss or the unlikly succeed is what makes the game fun IMO.

Players look cringey? That seems a bit harsh and frankly childish to me. I mean its a group of regular people having fun who chose to let us in on their games.....its a fun thing. I personally watch on my smartphone or listen as I drive (because I'm a traveling vendor at medieval faires so am either driving or don't have wifi for laptop) and my only complaint (which they have no control over because its due to the size of my screen) is when I watch I can't distinguish the character icons on the map. Frankly of the players appearances bother you then just listen .... or use the zoom feature on your laptop to focus on the map
