I like this as a promo for the season 3, but watching two seasons of it basically over the weekend... oof.

Sure, I'll take it. Anything to get our scroll-brogues going up in tiers.

Well, yeah, there'll be a huge gap between tables. PHB has at best a bunch of CR1s and then it's one CR4 for elephant (as lv12 Moon Druid). So clearly the subclass needs extra beasts just to function, but that's not the rules by default.

If the GM lets them use MM forms. Default Druid is just using those in the PHB. So this can create a big difference between tables as the game goes on... but at least not every Druid will be velociraptoring, so.

That does raise the good point, that the best argument against Fast Hands letting you scroll use as a bonus action would be scrolls of spells that take longer than an action to cast (but are of a reasonably low level that you'd expect to see them before the teen levels where everything breaks...

Much as I hated that casters got even their subclasses before martials, Warlock is kind of a nonsense of a concept with this mystery patron ooooh who could it be.

Yeah, I hate that they replaced a weak ability with an often useless ability. That said, you can still make it work, if you have Inspiration for a reroll / Bless against a low-AC foe, but it's really not inspiring to go for lv9+ Barbarian - you just incidentally get it if you're going for your...

Barbarian and Fighter, obviously, as now both can actually do something beyond walk and hit, in and out of combat! Monk did not get a variety of things to do... but they can finally do their own thing capably!

Well, they were being so blatant about that this episode, that it better be something else. ...especially because making a series about a female villain focus on them being a mother first and foremost would be uhhh something.

Ah yeah, very valid point. I'm just here for Agatha to be scheming something, so I don't need to care about the others... but I am surprised that they all still seem to be this same, vague, somewhat dislikeable blob? There's not one that's clearly an ancient witch, another that's hostile...

You are free to explain how a scroll, a magic item, then is to be used without using the Magic action. Otherwise it's a magic item + Magic action = exactly what Fast Hands says.

There really was not enough in this episode to merit a whole episode to just this... "trial" that did not really even test anything. Except my patience for the potion making witch forgetting she can make potions..? Not a great experience. I'm not really looking forwards to 4 more escape room...

I think that would be worth it if one committed to the bonus scrolls bit of Thief, but as a stand-alone, I was always highly suspicious of putting all your eggs in one Magic action basket. It is one attack that does more IF it hits, while the regular Rogue is attack+Nicking and more likely to...

...an attack which happens when you cast it...

Can a Quicken metamagic then also not change how long it takes to cast a spell? Or... can class features actually change how things work. Because Rogues get a sneak attack per turn..? You go from one hit doing +Xd6, to two hits doing +Xd6 damage.

Yes, that's not the question, because they're happening on different turns. Not for a Thief/Wiz1 with a holster full of scrolls it doesn't.

Yep, and if the GM was being weird about your crossbow shooting again like that, then you can introduce them to the much dumber option of you putting crossbow1 away as part of the attack action, and use your object interaction to draw crossbow2, so then it's ready to fire...

As explained in the first post, Thief casts it from a scroll as a bonus action, leaving you free to use your action to Ready. Now, this does not actually lead to twice the damage, but it is more damage. I just treat Thief as the default Rogue subclass now, because it's fun and effective, when...

Know to pick your fights. If people were not going to commission art for their campaign in any case, then no work opportunity has been lost, regardless of what they do. ...but one shouldn't AI if the player group does have an actual artist in it, as that'd just be... ugh.

And Suno can indeed be great fun! My Drakkenheim party's mage gave it information about our campaign, and out came... https://suno.com/song/8065bb5e-cca7-4cdb-9ec7-c2d86178413f It's a very basic and predictable song, as you'd expect from an AI, but that you could just have one about your...
