Excuse my click bait title, technically AO is the strongest god but he's no fun.

MrRhexx: *uploads video about Moradin* Dwarves: *Eyes narrow just into a slit* MrRhexx: *Titles it "Strongest God* Dwarves: *Slowly strike out a grudge*

"He can turn you into a dwarf and send you to another world where there are dwarves that need help" Dwarven god of isekai! XD

Playing currently as a Dwarven Cleric of Forge. When I was creating character I just googled "Forge Domain gods" and went with Moradin. Only lately I learned he is way more awesome than I thought. I mean... I meet dwarves and I have instant respect even with my amazing charisma of 8. Also I am looking forward to lvl 17 when I can bathe in flame breath of ancient dragon and get no DMG at all.

I'm playing a Warforged Forge Cleric of Moradin. He was built and trained by an old dwarven priest. It's in a game that's meshing Forgotten Realms and MTG, and we're doing the whole planeswalking thing. Everywhere we go, my warforged explains his beliefs and such, and through that, ends up planting seeds of belief in Moradin. The party jokingly calls him a Moradin's Witness.

"Moradin is level 69-Nice" That tickled my funny bone

If you're looking for ideas what to do next here's two 1: familiars/homunculus 2: Russ monsters

Moradin is one of my favorite Greater Gods, tied with Corellon. Just a slight correction, Moradin is described in the lore as only being able to create so many dwarven souls at a time. With the recent dwarven decline, he went so far as to actually split dwarven souls in half in an attempt to prop up dwarven populations. To the dwarves, all they saw was this huge rise in the number of twins being born. So while Moradin is still definitely one of the most powerful gods, it is somewhat inaccurate to imply he can just create as many souls as he wants without restrictions. Who knows that all the side effects are for just splitting souls in half and having them incarnate as twins? The idea that there is some kind of split between souls and spirits in early editions is something I want to know more about so I can't wait to see that video on souls.

The Dwarves literally dream of going to that big smithery in the sky. That's just awesome! Love your recent Dwarves series, keep up the amazing work!

Imagine Moradin just pointing at an aluminum thing and saying "this thing is half gallium now"

"We could focus on making longer videos instead of short ones" That makes me so excited, given your videos are already on the long side

The whole soul vs spirit thing was super interesting to learn, I really like that mechanic. The idea of reincarnation is a more interesting take on the elves' immortality.

By the beard of Moradin may the gods bless you. May his hammer fall, and keep all that your spirits have tossed out from your body inside.

Gruumsh: **Uncontrollable scream of absolute rage**

I would be so happy if you did a series like this for goblins or goblinoids

that monster book idea sounds like a good one for Aspiring GM/s DMS. especially if they enjoy roleplay efforts and descriptions on a behavioral level.

This came at the right time. I am playing a forge cleric of Moradin for a Waterdeep Dragon Heist game that just began. Now I know what kind of rituals Bjorn does before he sets to hammering gear for the party.

On the topic of gods and their power, I would like to roughly quote something from Warhammer. "It's not the act that empowers the warp. It's the story behind the act"

20’ tall “DWARF” Moradin… you are no longer a dwarf at that point…

If you kill a dragon while they have their hoard cased in their stomachs, does it all just... paloop out?

Dude, I loved this series on the dwarves. As my favorite race, this makes me appreciate them all the more. My only disappointment is that it's over now, but all good things must come to an end.

Bro you been killin' it with the amount of content released lately!!! Seriously though; MrRhexx needs his own TV channel!!! The lore is amazing!!!

On his spell slots, you have to remember that when you multi class you would get access to higher level spells, so -technically- he would have access to 9th level spell slots, just not know any 9th level spells.

>Moradin, the strongest god >Ao wouldn't like a word with you

1:16 I am now thinking about a random level 1 party lucking into killing a dragon by accident and then just an entire hoard exploding from its stomach

my favorite type of dnd videos you make are these, the ones that focus on Deities

It seems that whoever created Moradin took inspiration from Tolkien's work, more specific Aulë the smith. He was a "valar", a sort of powerful entity (demi-god). He created the bodies of the dwarves but were unable to give them souls. The Allfather Illuvatar granted the dwarves souls.

There is a forgotten realms book called The Gilded Rune that covers Moradin. It's, like the dwarfs, is fantastic.

"he can turn you into a dwarf and send you to another world where there are dwarves they need help" *That time I got reincarnated as a dwarf coming soon to Crunchyroll*

A few tips for 3.5 to 5e conversions. 1. Stats in 5 MAX are 30, so you need to clamp stats based on a scaling clamp from 3.5. So moradin would have, clamped. 29 (or 30), 19, 26, 19, 21, 22 or something like that(Might still be off.). Figuring out the proper clamp is still a bit tricky. 2. For AC its funny enough, much easier. Just subtract his CR from his AC and you usually get the 5e AC. 3. Hit die and damage stay the same. Class levels are used here for hit die in particular. 4. 3.5 saving throws are used, alongside his CR, to figure out his bonus to various throws. The highest of the three throws, (Fort, Ref, or Will) will dictate which saving throws they would have proficiency in. If the save is over 30, they'd have Expertise in that saving throw. (Fort is Str/Con, Ref is Dex/int, Will is Wis/Cha I believe.) And if its over 20 without being their highest, they have proficiency. (If over 30, they have expertise as well.) 5. Use their CR as if it was a player level and look at the proficiency table. Ignore any class levels they'd have. 6. For skills, try the best you can to match proficiency and expertise to what they'd have in 3.5. This one is much like the next step and requires you as the DM to figure out, there is no actual conversion thing here really. 7. Then all that is left is adding in his bonuses, changing spells, and changing any 3.5 effects such as 'instantly kill' or 'lower levels' or something like that to something more of what 5e would use like '8d8 damage' or '1 level of exhaustion' or something like that. For legendary resistances/mythic resistances and abilities that is up to the DM, but divine usually have 5, and creatures have 3 with a potential 1 mythic in both. In addition Divine creatures usually have their spell/magic immunities, and would probably be immune to all spells below 4-6th level, while being magic resistant beyond that.

Moradin: *sees a dwarf doing nothing and grabs them* "Another settlement needs our help"

I heard about Moradin upon request by prayer actual change anyone to a dwarf . So I was thinking of creating a human that converted to the religion of Moradin , and was changed into a dwarf just before meeting the group party. As the character slowly changes personality as the dwarven focus starts to set in , and certain quirks start to manifest. I learned that Moradin does this , and ever since I wanted to create character with this backstory. This would also explain why Dwarves keep friendly races around cause this is literally a boon to their population . Humans populate quickly , and could make a lot of sense.

11:55 I happen to have a Kobold PC that actually worked in a dwarven settlement. Flashbacks to their own lore where skilled and dedicated miners were allowed access to the mines of Kurtlemak and Co. Now there’s lore where going Idle too long causes you to end up yote into the woods somewhere by an angry Moradin. And the best ending for artificers and warforged as the portal to the soul forge.

Moradin is a Level 69 Character noice! Dwarves need to learn a thing or two from him LOL

_BY MORADIN'S HAMMER!_

This is great. I love the more specific/hyper focused videos

Your dwarves series is so good!!! It really helps me when I DM because is use a lot of what you taught me when running games. Truly you are a loremaster of legends

Normal dwarves basically turn their offsprings into dwarves. So it's not just Moradin who can do that.

Yes! My day is complete. Thank you for all you do dude!

I’m so happy to see you’re releasing your own dnd content. I have been watching you’re videos for a while and have incorporated it in my own campaigns. But having that information available in pdf form is fantastic. Keep the great content up.

this was great. I have loved the dwarven race ever since my first D&D character was created so many years ago. It was the one race that spoke to my personality and I love listening to their lore. Thanks for making this video.

Finally! I look forward to your videos every week man. Phenomenal break down of lore. Keep ‘em coming!

I’ve heard of a type of avatar called incarnations, I feel like they could be interesting because they are more like avatars in Hindu mythology or like Jesus in Christianity. Fully mortal but having a few extra Devine abilities.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to know about D&D gods (STATS)! Thanks a bunch for all your hard work!

This is going to be a great listen. Thanks mr rhexx

I greatly appreciate the videos you make sir. I run d&d in my own custom universe and write all of my own content. These deep dives on characters and lore within official d&d worlds help me so much when fleshing out my own worlds. Keep up the good work sir!

Keep up the good work mr rhexx, glad to see the success your having, always good content available on your channel

my totally not addiction for lore is now fulfilled, for now...

Another great video! I would love to see theoretical match ups between different powerful entities. Like Moradin vs a group of Torrasques

Nice! Good work once again, Rhexx. I always had a hard time portraing the will of the dwarven Chieftain God. But thanks to this, I can actually give the vengance paladin in my D&D group a run for his money. Let's play a little bit of Baldurs Gate 3 together once it's fully released, man.

The PDF is exactly what I would expect from MrRhexx: Quality. I'll be very happy if he ever releases a physical book of all this.

Absolute banger episode bruv, thank you n keep it up! I'm gunna get the PDF next week!

Not a big fan of dwarves but the indepth detail on these last four videos has been amazing. Nearly two full hours on dwarven culture is top notch work. I hope the next series of vids is even better.

So what I'm hearing is that Moradin's Avatar is perfectly capable of bitch slapping a large portion of the actual divine form gods, not to mention what his divine form could do.

There’s been like 3 strongest gods now lol love you my guy 🙏❤️

I Love Your Content! Bravo! The Divine Rank Levels Are So Fascinating!

"Nothing can hurt this avatar, basically" *In steps a level 20 monk*

Amazing video! I would like to see such videos for other gods in the FR setting.

I will buy both pdfs, but goddammit keep sponsors you deserve it your content is gold.

Dwarves have always been my favorite race, and these last few videos have been great. Thanks for doing them.

Hi Mr Rhexx. I have bought your PDF for Monster Races, and I have to say it is AWESOME! (And I have questions about it) I just LOVE the three races / classes you created, it is amazing work, with the stats, the story, the many character options, the sheer flavour of it all! And the art is very nice too! Bravo! Celestials, Succubi and Ghosts seem like VERY desirable options for PCs, and now YOU have created a viable way to play them (3rd edition's "savage species" was not really viable)! This is fantastic work! I will, definitely, continue following your creations (I already follow your KZfaq channel with passion) Further, I have always fantasied on a Succubus with a Good-hearted nature - either on a redemption path or a will to not be evil (since I began playing D&D, more than 30 years ago)! And you mentioned that option! Thank you! Which leads me to my question / request for added information and details on some options that you mentioned. You mention in your work the path to redemption for the Succubus, which is awesome (and I loved it that you cleverly detailed the implication between morality and the inherently lewd mind of the race). You also offer a nice choice of origin options, some of which meaning that the individual creature needs not be inherently driven by Evil intent - which is also very awesome. So here are three "basic" questions: 1 If a Succubus is on the path to redemption (or wishing to escape the fate of being tied to Hell or Abyss), and truly wanting to leave the path of Evil, what would be her alignment? - Would she still be NE, or have the alignment that she wishes to pursue, or having an undetermined True Alignment, until she reaches redemption? - I suppose she'd be detected as Evil with magic, until a God of Good would validate her atonement, what do you think? 2. If a Succubus has a background which means that she did not choose/deserve her damnation (namely, background option #7, or if she was born from two succubi, with the genetic flaw of not feeling inherently Evil), and she wishes to escape the fate of being doomed to be an evil demon, what would be her path to redemption? She may even have such a story that she did not ever commit evil acts. I think of several background stories, two of which makes her devoid of any Evil intent (which are somehow far-fetched, but make for a very interesting case of tragic back-story): 2a- She would wake up after death as a Succubus, and not wanting to commit evil, and be a slave to a powerful devil until something happens (either a rebellion or her master king deposited), and she manages to escape to the Prime 2b- She would be sent on her first evil mission and try to find asylum with a church of Good and Redemption (such as Ilmater or Lathander or Selune - or maybe Sunie, in a different way, or even Bahamut...) What would be the path then? 3. The same kind of questioning could also be relevant in more "grey" cases. If a Succubus has committed bad sins, not as evil intent, but out of misjudgement and stupidity (such as background options #2, #6, #10, #11)... how wold you judge that she has made enough good deeds (7 times for each sin)? I would assume it would be the DM's fiat, and probably a running backstory throughout the campaign. 4. Last,If the subject interests you, I have further "advanced" questions / subjects to ponder: The backstory of the race is a tragic one, where the gods were... kind of absolute jerks - very much like the Greek gods were. Punishing angels for being benevolent and wanting some agency, by rendereing them evil and destroying their reason to be... (seems like the angels of love were CG, very Good indeed, and the gods were very lawaful and their actions were LE) - Would you consider the possibility of a Succubus being still Good at heart towards the mortal races, and angry at the Gods that cursed her and her race? And if so, what would be the options (especially in the Forgotten Realms, where having no Patron God is kind of impossible)? - If the only sin they committed was to want to chose who to love, only 7 good deeds would circumvent the transgression, would it not? But then, there is the matter of injustice and rebellion... There is a very deep theological / moral questioning there... - Would there be gods that appeared after the fall of the Angels of Love, who would consider taking one such under their wings? If so, would it upset the balance of alliances between the gods? - Would some Chaotic Good deities or powers (I think of the Eladrins) that would accept them and help them escape the realm of fiends? - Maybe there would be a goddess of Succubus Redemption, quite the way that Eilistraee is to the Drow? (And yes, I know Eilistraee is your favourite power of all D&D universes, and I definitely understand why) Thank you for any answers, and thank you for your work. Cheers.

8:35 Actually, you can resurrect elves, but the resurrection won’t change anything in their reincarnation cycle

Amazing videos! Loved this series especially. Been great with my homebrew game where dwarves are entering their golden age while humans are the ones in decline, and elves more or less decided the material plane is for orcs and chumps.

I love these god lore videos! Please keep them coming!

I know that the range of differences between them is staggering, but this just reminds me of how I looked at Auril's stats, in Rime of the Frostmaiden, and cringed. Apart from Her age (She's about as old as Toril), She's a lot less than Moradin, in most respects, and She's also breaking rules that strap consequences to Her, but He's this powerhouse, and She...can be bested by a party of similar strength to Strahd. Oh well, 5e has frequently suffered with making truly daunting challenges, or making things feel "divine", like this. Tiamat is potent, but mostly just an upscaled dragon, in Rise; no godlike powers, and the Frostmaiden was much the same. It is also hinted at that the party of Out of the Abyss might storm the Demonweb Pits, and smite Lolth for the events of that campaign, so maybe 5e deities are SUPPOSED to be weak? Maybe I should be glad that they haven't tackled the Dead Three, yet. Anyway, yeah, Moradin is a powerhouse.

Amazing video love the lore, keep it up!

Played original D&D back in the days (1st and 2nd edition) and elves could in theory be brought back in their original form. It was just far more difficult since it required a higher level spell (resurrection vs. raise dead). Even if you could find (or had) a cleric who could cast Resurrection, it would cause more side effects to the caster whether it was successful or not.

That level 69 character..."Nice!" Was greatly appreciated. LOL

Yesss finally my man my bro, moradin

Great video and great series! Which race will you explore next? I look forward it.

I love the long videos! If you come up with ever more ideas to help make those more common, I’d be willing to support in those too!

Amazing work man!

New MrRhexx vid. one of the few ways to make Mondays less sh**ty. tyvm Rhexx

Great video as always. To be honest you have some of the best sponsorships of any person I follow. I think its because its actually related to the content you have and not something random like a VPN or ear buds. I rather see an add for the Codex of Companions than some mobile game.

I know that this is the last video of the Dwarf saga. But I also would love to see videos about the races close to Dwarfs like the Duregar, Azer and whatever more exists. Also, maybe you could consider make some videos about DM's guild content the you personally like that expands the Dwarf lore.

I'm playing an armorer Artificer who loves moradin. He is from an ancient civilization in Chult. (Tomb of Anihilation ) I said love and not worship because he's immortal and does plan to go to the afterlife anytime soon. He kinda just respects Moradin as a master craftsman and agrees with his ideals.

I can't wait to get your "Monster Classes II" pdf! I always wanted to play as a dragon. :)

Amazing as always

Love hearing the stats exactly so much, tahnks

Brilliant series, as usual.

I’m fine with a DC38 on his avatar spells. He could literally forge the entire party into dwarves and send us to a world we’ve never been to. Sounds about right for THE god of Dwarves

11:41 that settles it, i will never EVER work again in my life. o forger of souls, take me. i'm ready. rock and stone!

Nice, though I expected some mention to the Hammers of Moradin, seem like an interesting order.

I love your content :) Keep it up!

After watching this I'm reminded of doing deep delves into my Original copy of Dieties and Demigods ( yes I still own it and yes it has Cthulu). I'm thinking that if Anyone could make the old tome into a 5E Dieties and Demigods 2.0 it's you. So sir I hand you the gauntlet of challenge !!! With full faith that you can Deliver ! The countless videos in my DM Tools playlist made by you say so !

Now we need a video describing Corellon just like that one, please Rhex.

I would love to see you do a video on the dark reflections of these most powerful gods: Lolth and the Dark Seldarine, Laduguer, etc. Would be great!

I have never seen a more accurate title in my entire life. Thank you Rhexx, blessed be the forge and hearth of Moradin.

An interesting lore you forgot to mention, moradin was the one that forge the rod of law that the wind dukes of aqaa used to defiat miska the wolf spider.

Yoooooooo I was just chillin on YT today and I got an ad that had you in it! :'D Watched it to the end, of course

I remember reading the 3.5 deity book years ago, and of all the gods Moradin and his insane power stuck with me more than any of the others. That book is amazing in general, and Moradin really is no joke. I'd rather go solo against an elder brain.

I wouldn't want to see you disable the ads, this is one of those channels I don't mind them on and on my part you can make that tiny bit more moneys.

35:21 "a High Old One"? What a stoned Cthulhu monster??! 🤣 Whew, that sounds legit terrifying!

Are you the official dungeons and dragons deity of content creation?

Could you do a video about tortles? I really want to play as one but I don’t know anything about them and you’re my favorite dnd lore person to learn things from

Tempus is said to be the strongest god in multiple novels, AO has a super small devoted following, Moradin is certainly up there but Tempus is the most widely worshipped God, in forgotten realms at least. Sorry for no references I am at work ;)

I will wait for the Day of The Platinum Dragon Bahamut. Until then i wait and enjoy those videos.

Thanks for covering the dwarves, they're my favorite.

oh MrRhexx has a new video "starts unpacking the mini painting and terrain building stuff"

You really made a persuasive argument in this video MrRhexx! I just bought a pdf and supported you on Patreon, always happier to support you over a sponsor
