Bards aren’t just “a talented musician” they literally use magic. They’re basically wizards that went the liberal arts path in college.
Ha while you were Chaining Lightning and Disintegrating Polymorphs, I studied THE ARTS
don’t call me when the Barbarians are at your Gates
If the ancient dragon can’t kill the bard while they spend 11 minutes mocking it, it just dies of shame.
I love Tom Cardy with every ounce of my being. I assume that’s what that link is lmao. But I found this BG3 animation for the song and it instantly became my favorite. Evidently the insane looking one in this isn’t the Durge. It’s Tav. The other Dragonborn looking terrified is the Durge which leads to my favorite comment on that. “The Durge may kill people but he just witnessed the most horrifying thing in existence. A perfectly normal DnD player.”
The Gag with “15 days” and the hands kills me every time.
New hit: Love Letter to a Dungeon Master.
I love this video, but I genuinely upset at ruining the story and not taking it seriously 😭
I mean if I was a dragon that failed to kill a bard for 11 minutes I’d take care of it myself.
Wall of force lasts 10 minutes, just saying
Would it fit? I suppose technically the rules say a gargantuan creature is 20 feet by 20 feet or larger, and you can make a ten foot radius sphere with Wall of Force.
But also, that would give it total cover, and Vicious Mockery does not grant itself an exception from that. Message is the only one I know of that does.
To be fair, player characters at level 17+ are basically walking deities, regardless of class.
Plot twist, the dragon accepts your challenge and destroys you with 800 years worth of yo mama jokes.
We all know who Kendrick Lamar is and no we aren’t going to fuck with him.
Drake failed that perception check real hard
3 comments are on this thread and each one has a different video for that Tom Cardy song.
I love it.
It is fantastic. He also does live music for a d&d podcast called dragon friends. It is recorded in front of an audience. They don’t follow the rules super strictly, but it is entertaining.
What can I say? He’s a natural.
See what they need is a bard who raps. A bit if speed-rap and they’d be throwing out deadly cantrips like a human machine-gun
Eminem would be so OP in D&D
Ursula from Little Mermaid.
I legit killed an owlbear with vicious mockery (as in killing blow). Sticks and stones etcetc
I thought it made them suicide, least thats how i imagine it, like someone yo mama’d you so hard, you pull out and fall on your sword.
A cantrip that’s as effective as “power word kill” on mundane folk? Use 55 times to kill a dragon? How did I miss this?
As a DM, I’d have to implement a house rule that every such insult must be unique, as it is magically bound to the target at that distinct moment in time. And that goes for failures as well as successes: each use burns that phrase forever. At the very least this goes if used repeatedly against the same target. Besides, a good bard should be able to cook up fresh material.
So are you going to nerf every class similarly?
