I noticed that too. But isn't an eladrin basically a high elf? I really thought they were the same thing with different names.

He also used fey step twice, which makes me wonder if maybe it was actually a spell (I think he said he was a cleric at some point).

I recall him using it once, to get out of the acid. When was the other time?

He fey stepped up onto the statue to cut the spider web strand and stop the drop from getting the second eye gem.

Not enough Uni.

Well, he may have also just forgotten that it was a per-encounter ability (if it is) and used it an extra time. Wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened in these games :heh:

Is there anywhere to see this after the fact?

The link in my original post goes to an archive of the stream, which you can watch at any time.

It sure played a lot faster, no more of the dreaded, "I.. Uh... um..." from the players. A lot less to know and keep track of.

It was in 4th Edition. Given that a high elf has gone back to being an elf in D&D Next, it's possible that there's still a fey humanoid race called "eladrin". If so, it gives that race a chance to be a bit more alien, more like the eladrin from 2e Planescape.

I was pretty entertained, but I'm easily entertained.

It helps if the sessions are seen as just a group of fellow geeks playing a loose game of D&D with no slogging through bizarre (and utterly insane) politics and line-in-the-sand drawing that crop up around the gaming hobby these days. Its just a bunch of people goofing around with characters and story, run by a pretty amazing DM in my opinion.

The seminars are much better for getting actual tidbits of news out of, but the live game did feature a try at some new crit rules.

Imagining Binwin getting a crit with what.. 4d12 on top of that is almost terrifying.

I've only watched the video through once so far, but I didn't notice any use of the Advantage/Disadvantage mechanic. I found the absence surprising.

Did anyone else see something I didn't?
