00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Hello players who use D&D instead of therapy.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
And DMs who have never once role played as the opposite gender because that'd be a little too weird.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Yeah, we don't want to get weird during Dungeons & Dragons.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I'm Robert, that's Madison.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Hi. This is Table Talk. Welcome back. We're so glad to have you, or if it's your first time listening. Thank you.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It's a be an on place to just come in at because this is a part two of character sheets and shit.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So the last one was Magic Edition where Madison made a sorcerer and we walked you guys through that.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:44,000
We probably won't do as much hand holding in this one and it seemed like walking through step by step and being quite as meticulous about breakdowns.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I highly recommend you therefore go watch the first one.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So it's kind of like, I want you to listen to this one, but also I'm going to take the opportunity to tell you to watch the first one because you don't do that wrong order.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
This one will probably be like significantly shorter than the other.

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Yeah, well the other one is an hour and 15, so this one is not going to be closer to like an hour, so maybe just 15 minutes shorter.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:16,000
But today I'm going to walk through a martial class, so generally speaking there are two different categories of classes in Magic the Gathering, Rockfucking Game.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Try again.

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Made by the same company, or at least bought by the same company.

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So things that you have sunk, a significant portion of your life into.

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Asbro which owns Wizards, which owns both Magic and Dungeons & Dragons.

18
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
So I sink a lot of money into both, but anyways, I digress.

19
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Dungeons & Dragons, there are generally two kinds of classes.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
There are your spellcasters and there are your non spellcasters.

21
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:46,000
There are a few anomalies in the mix, most notably the Paladin.

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
There are also a few of the fighter classes that are like Magic Base.

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Yeah, there are also some paths you can take as sorcerers or as different kinds of traditional spellcasters where you rely more heavily on like a melee weapon or a packed blade like with Warlock.

24
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Or like a bard, Jesus Christ.

25
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Yeah, like a bard is kind of a...

26
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Just combine the word bard and sword to board.

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So if you're playing a board.

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Yeah, but every class generally speaking is technically a spellcasting class.

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
There isn't a single class that cannot cast spells.

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Except for maybe a barbarian when they're enrage.

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah, but generally every class has the capability of casting different kinds of spells.

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
When I say spellcasting class, when I'm referring to the ones that rely on casting spells the most.

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Like in terms of combat, in terms of utility.

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I mean, that pretty much covers it all, right?

35
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,000
So, barbarian is going to be your straight up, I want to hit things and I want to be big and have a lot of health.

36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And I want to hit things again.

37
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And again.

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
And again and again and again and again and then I want to do even more damage when I get a crit hit, which is...

39
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
A critical success, critical hit.

40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So, yeah, I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet.

41
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
There are many, many options.

42
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Like I said, if you've listened to the first one, which I hope you have.

43
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
In the episodes previous to this where we go over most of the traditional races that are present.

44
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
In 5e, there are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many to choose from.

45
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Yes.

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
But fitting my intro, I am actually going to do a bit of a gender bender on this character.

47
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Which would be my first D&D character I've ever put on paper of the opposite gender.

48
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Only Femme characters.

49
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Role-playing is difficult as a gender that's not yours.

50
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
If you're not professionally trained on how to role-play as the opposite gender, which I'm not.

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
I've played so many boys.

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I like exclusively have played little like ambiguously gendered children on stage.

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I've played boys so many times.

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
That's so funny.

55
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
That sucks, but also that sucks.

56
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
It is exclusively my typecast has been gender ambiguous, poor orphan.

57
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
I've played like...

58
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Gender ambiguous, poor orphan.

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Or like crazy person in a hat.

60
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I have multiple roles that like fall under that category.

61
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Crazy person in a hat.

62
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Yeah.

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Okay, so I think I know...

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I've been recently playing a video game on my PA Station 5, not to flex or anything.

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Jesus Christ.

66
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I've been recently playing back through a couple of my favorite games.

67
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And so I think today I actually just want to do a character build of somebody that I really like as a character.

68
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Which if you know anything about the game, that might be a controversial statement.

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
But I'm going to try and build Abby from The Last of Us 2.

70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
As a non-human, because that would be too fucking easy.

71
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,000
So I think I'm going to go with Goliath for the race, which is not technically part of the fifth edition, like the one that was released.

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
The players handbook.

73
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
They do have it on...

74
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
D&D Beyond does have it on their page, but it's not part of like the players handbook.

75
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
So I am stepping out a little bit.

76
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
So I'm going to go ahead and put that on paper.

77
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Race is going to be Goliath.

78
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
If you've never played the game, or you don't know anything about the character, she's a fucking mountain.

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
She's literally huge.

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,000
So the opposite character that mirrors her in the game is Ellie, which if you've seen the HBO Max show, or if you've just played the first game...

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
It's my girly.

82
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
She's short, she's small, she's quick, she's fast, she uses a knife, that kind of thing.

83
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Abby is meant to be a rogue.

84
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Yeah, she'd be a rogue.

85
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Abby is meant to be the opposite in that she's big, she's brutish.

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
She is still very smart, but she's like ripped as fuck.

87
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Like part of your introduction to her when you get to like switch character perspectives is just how ripped she is.

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,000
So yeah, I'm going to try and make a very big strong character, and I'm going to go with Goliath for the race because human is just kind of fucking boring.

89
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
So Goliath...

90
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It's creative.

91
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
No hate to people who play humans, but also there's like...

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I feel like hundreds, there's not actually hundreds, but there's eight fuck ton of races to choose from in D&D.

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And if you're playing like an escapist fantasy game, I think it's fun to lean into that.

94
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I say, as our current campaign, we are all playing humans, but...

95
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
No, there's an android in our group, but we're playing in like a modern setting.

96
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
And race isn't quite as relevant, and this one is another one.

97
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
It's kind of one of those...

98
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,000
When you get into different settings that aren't 5e related or aren't traditional fantasy, like everyone's kind of a human, but like a jazend.

99
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
So it's like...

100
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Like in Star Wars, there's a lot of humans that are like from different planets, so they're like a Chorillian or something like that.

101
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
The races are like in this one are like inherited, which isn't really a race.

102
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Race in the Hero setting, wherein is more like how do you get your powers?

103
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
It's not necessarily like what kind of a being are you.

104
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Which I mean, there's the option to play an alien in that one, but I've tried to leave aliens alone for most of the part.

105
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Because that's a whole other world.

106
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Yeah, humans, we have human adjacent, but we do also have straight up android, which, you know, why not?

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Anyways, the lines are very large.

108
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
They are between 7 and 8 feet tall. They weigh between 280 and 340 pounds.

109
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Your size is still medium.

110
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
They're like just under the cut for large.

111
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Base walking speed is going to be 30, so I'm going to go ahead and jump that down.

112
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And then I have proficiency in athletics, which totally makes sense for Abby.

113
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
She is athletic as all fuck.

114
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
She should just be doing shit in that game.

115
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Oh, she does, ma'am.

116
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Like, Ellie's melee combat, she uses either her switchblade or like a picked up weapon.

117
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Abby on the other hand is like just hands.

118
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Yeah, it just...

119
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
If you've seen any of the stuff on TikTok talking about anime, she's just left right good night.

120
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Like that's Abby.

121
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
She doesn't need a weapon.

122
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
No, she fucking doesn't.

123
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
And you can upgrade her character so that you can throw hands better.

124
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Like she's trained in close quarters combat, so that's just, you know, she's kind of more military style.

125
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Her lifespan or Goliaths have lifespans comparable to humans.

126
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
They enter adulthood into their late teens and usually live less than a century.

127
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
So they're kind of equivalent to humans in that sense.

128
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
They hit adulthood, it looks like a little earlier.

129
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Maybe, but it's not important right now. I haven't gotten to the age part of things.

130
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
So, we've gotten all of that out of the way.

131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Let's see here, what else? In under the Goliaths.

132
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
There's also a couple of traits here. It allows you to...

133
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Let's see here, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12.

134
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
It's your con modifier to the number rolled and reduce the damage by that total.

135
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
That's nice.

136
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Powerful build.

137
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Wait, is that like every long rest or is that just...

138
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Yeah, once per long rest.

139
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Okay, I was going to say that cannot be just every time.

140
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push back or lift.

141
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
You have resistance to cold damage with Mountain Born.

142
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
You are also acclimated to high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet.

143
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
I mean...

144
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
You can speak, read, and write common in Giant.

145
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I mean, the temperature thing actually does fit the setting.

146
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
So, I'm going to...

147
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Because I spent half of that in the fucking snow.

148
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Giant... putting things down on my paper, because that's what I would normally be doing.

149
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Larger size.

150
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
So, that doesn't mean that it is actually a larger size.

151
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
It just means when carrying, pushing, that kind of stuff, which...

152
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
When we get to combat in like action economy, I'll talk a little bit more about what size means there,

153
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
because generally speaking, when you're just role playing or just doing things about the world,

154
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
your size doesn't necessarily matter.

155
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
It's more of like a role play thing.

156
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Size doesn't matter, guys.

157
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
It's all about how you use it in the game.

158
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Oh, 100%.

159
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
100%.

160
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
But like in combat, size determines...

161
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
I was just trying to be funny.

162
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Yeah, I mean, true.

163
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
But she does that sometimes.

164
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Size determines how many squares you take up on a crit.

165
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
It determines if you can move past people, that kind of thing.

166
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Yeah, and if you're a small little character, you can dodge through spaces that medium size characters can't.

167
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Yeah, you can walk between things without disadvantage, that kind of fun stuff.

168
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
And some large characters will have disadvantage on certain spells and things like that.

169
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
So, the next thing I'm going to choose is...

170
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I guess I'm going to pick my class.

171
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Yeah.

172
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I think that makes sense.

173
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I usually don't do things in this order, but I normally start with a class and then go from there.

174
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Let's see here.

175
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I think I'm going to do...

176
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
I think I'm going to do Fighter.

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
I think Fighter makes sense.

178
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
I think Barbarian is a little too straight up.

179
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Hands and Marshall, I think.

180
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
If I'm trying to play her as true to real life, she's like an expert in using multiple long range weapons.

181
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
She's also like very like thought out, so I don't think Rage would like...

182
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
I agree.

183
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Yeah, I mean she has a perk that you can get in a game that gives her a Rage like ability,

184
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
where like if you do a melee combat take down, you can then immediately follow it up with another one if somebody's close enough.

185
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
But I'm not going to push that route.

186
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I'm going to go more of the expertise with guns and ranged weapons.

187
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
So, I'm probably going to end up picking a Gunslinger for the subclass once I get to my level three.

188
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I would have gone Battle Master.

189
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
So, class, we're going to go with Fighter.

190
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Yeah, but like she uses guns.

191
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
No, that's real.

192
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Yeah, what I'm saying, like and it's the only class I get access to guns with.

193
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yeah.

194
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So, I mean it's also, this is, hey, the other one, I just straight up picked stuff out of the player's handbook

195
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
and this one you're getting stuff outside of the player's handbook.

196
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Yeah, this one's, yeah, very much outside.

197
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Um, alright.

198
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
See, we planned it.

199
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
This is intentional.

200
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Totally.

201
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
So now we're going to do ability scores, and then hit points and all that fun stuff,

202
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
but we're going to start with ability scores.

203
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Bum, bum, bum, bum.

204
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
I didn't bring physical dice, so I'm going to have to roll some, some D6s digitally.

205
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Sorry guys.

206
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Roll for D6.

207
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Or do we want to do point by?

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Oh, I guess I can't do point by.

209
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
So we can show you multiple methods.

210
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah, so we can show you multiple methods.

211
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
You don't have to.

212
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
No, no, it's okay, it's okay.

213
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
I just, I've never had to do point by physically.

214
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
So, I'm going to walk through it.

215
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
We're going to pull up an app.

216
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I'm going to put it on my app, and then I'm going to walk you guys through basically what I'm seeing.

217
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
So, bear with me.

218
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Okay, it looks like on the app I also need to go ahead and pick my background, so I guess I'll go ahead and get that out of the way.

219
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Um, let's see here.

220
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
What are our options?

221
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Um, I'm going to pick soldier, because that makes the most sense.

222
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Um, that's kind of like the primary role.

223
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
She fills in the games.

224
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
We're going to do soldier.

225
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
So point by, if I, let me see here.

226
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Do we want to go ahead and do the rest of background stuff?

227
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Um, no, we'll jump around.

228
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Okay.

229
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
We've been non-traditional so far.

230
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I'm not going to.

231
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
With it, ADHD.

232
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Yep, I'm not going to push us to be super, super straight on this one.

233
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Um, so yeah, we'll get to personality traits, ideals, bonds, flaws in a minute.

234
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
So, it looks like point by the way it works is that every score starts at eight.

235
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
That's like the base score.

236
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Um, and then you have a total of 27 points that you can put wherever you want to put them.

237
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
So, what that means is if you were to do point by physically, you would write out your six scores.

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
So, strength, dex, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, charisma.

239
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
And then you would put like a little eight by them.

240
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Um, and then you would have essentially 27 points to dump wherever you would like to.

241
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
So, let's see how far I can pump a stat really quick before I do the rest of this.

242
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
So, it looks like the highest that I can put a stat with point by is 15.

243
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Um, it's not that high.

244
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
No, but the lowest I can go is eight.

245
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Okay, no, that's true.

246
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
So, that's the trade off.

247
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
So, if you guys listened to the last episode, again, go do that.

248
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Uh, you rolled the six and you can in theory have as low as a fucking three.

249
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Um, you could also have as high as an 18.

250
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
You know, cause six times three.

251
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
But it looks like with point by what they're trying to do is like, uh, kind of median it out a little bit more.

252
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
So, that way things are a little more like, I don't know, consistent.

253
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Um, and it's like, it's a little more safe.

254
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Yeah, so it's more of a safety net thing.

255
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
So, with fighter, um, I need to pull up the fighter class real quick actually,

256
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
which I didn't think to do.

257
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Do you want me to pull it up in advance?

258
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
No, it's all right.

259
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Fighter class fifth edition D&D wiki.

Shout out wiki.

263
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Um, wiki.

Sponsor us.

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Mm hmm.

266
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Mm hmm.

267
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Mm hmm.

268
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.

269
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
So, what are their primary things?

270
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
So, saving throws are going to be strained in the Constitution.

271
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Um, I guess I don't have a primary thing, do they?

272
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Um, I mean, if you're a fighter, I, you don't have like a primary like spell casting class.

273
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
So, it's just going to be strength.

274
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Yeah, I was going to say dump everything into like strength and con,

275
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
because those are your two saving throws.

276
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Yeah.

277
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And if you're going to be hitting people physically, strength is going to help you with that.

278
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
So, um, generally speaking with, uh, spell-clasting classes,

279
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
you're going to have a primary spell casting ability,

280
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
and that's going to be like the score that you pump as high as you can,

281
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
because it's going to increase your spell casting DCs,

282
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
it's going to increase the damage you can do, so on and so forth.

283
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
When you have a martial class, uh, like a purely martial class, not a paladin,

284
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
uh, like a fighter, like a ranger, like a, um, which I think ranger might be dexterity based.

285
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Uh, ranger, dexterity, fighter, so on and so forth,

286
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
you're going to basically choose between one or two stats.

287
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Strength and dexterity, and I'm pretty sure for fighter and for barbarian,

288
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I know for a fact barbarian, strength is going to determine what your plus to hit is with all your weapons.

289
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Yeah.

290
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
I think fighter is whichever is highest, but Abby is a stronger-ish character.

291
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Um, that's like one of her defining features, so I'm not going to pump dexterity.

292
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Um, I'm going to go ahead and put, let's see here,

293
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven points into strength,

294
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
which is going to go ahead and bump me up to 15.

295
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Hell yeah.

296
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Uh, keeping in mind that I have a plus to from being a goliath,

297
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
that means that I'm going to have a 17 in strength to start.

298
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Okay, that's not bad.

299
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
No, not at all.

300
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Say your high things are going to come from your pluses, so that's going to be nice.

301
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Uh, it looks like the next thing, what was it, constitution,

302
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
are also the saving throws for fighters.

303
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Yep.

304
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
That's what you're going to be proficient in,

305
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
those are the saving throws you're going to make the most of,

306
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
you're going to want to put a lot of things into those.

307
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
I'll go ahead and throw,

308
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
hmm, hmm,

309
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
I'll throw one, two, three, four, five points into constitution,

310
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
so that'll bump me up to 14, because I have a plus one for being a goliath.

311
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Hell yeah.

312
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And then all I have left is dext intelligence, wisdom, charisma.

313
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
She is so not charismatic, so I'm not going to put a single point in charisma,

314
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
which I think will give me a minus one, if not a minus two.

315
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
It's good.

316
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
And then, um, oh God, what would be Abby's third biggest stat?

317
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Strength, 100% followed by constitution.

318
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Do you have athletics?

319
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Oh, you already have athletics?

320
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
It's between dexterity and intelligence for me.

321
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I think I'm going to try and make them relatively equal,

322
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
because she is fairly smart, all things considered.

323
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
So I think I'm going to put...

324
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I can't remember if guns are, uh, if it, because it's a, are guns a finesse weapon?

325
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I think guns might be a finesse weapon.

326
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
If they're a finesse weapon, then that's dex, correct?

327
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Are guns finness weapons?

328
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
So this is, sorry, we're taking you all into such uncharted territory with this.

329
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
I mean, this is a real character crease.

330
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Real, they are excellent options for characters with high deck scores.

331
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Fuck.

332
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Alright, so it looks like I'm going to have to actually put quite a few points into dexterity.

333
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Which, whatever, she's...

334
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Because that's going to give you your bonus to hit.

335
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
She's a very fit character, I guess that's okay.

336
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So actually...

337
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
I mean this in the kindest way.

338
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
She's built like a brick shit house.

339
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
I think that's a phrase.

340
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
I, if that's not a phrase.

341
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
I think it's just like brick house.

342
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Oh.

343
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I've always searched that one specifically.

344
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Brick shit house.

345
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I, I'm not crazy.

346
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I've heard that term from people before.

347
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
I need someone to validate that.

348
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Someone please, someone who is listening, please.

349
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000
I am begging you to validate that because most people who listen know me personally.

350
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Validate that for me.

351
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Knowing that strength is not actually going to be my primary hitting ability.

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I'm actually going to backtrack on my strength.

353
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
So I'm going to only put that up to 13, which with my plus two is still going to 15.

354
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
And then I'm going to make my dexterity 15 as well.

355
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
So I'll have two 15s.

356
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
We'll call it there.

357
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Oh, that's good.

358
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Whatever.

359
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Whatever.

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
I don't really want to do that, but we're going to do that anyways.

361
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
I kind of want to get out of the fucking negatives if I'm being honest with wisdom.

362
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000
So I think I'm just going to go ahead and put two points in wisdom and bring me up to 10.

363
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Just because wisdom saving throws happen way more often than you think they would.

364
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Oh yeah.

365
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
There are a ridiculous amount of spells that are mostly wisdom saving throws.

366
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And they're always the ones that like if you fail them, you are fucked.

367
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Yeah.

368
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So your mind control spells require wisdom or charisma.

369
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Fuck that so much.

370
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Yeah, pretty much.

371
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Fuck any of those spells so much.

372
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Any spell that takes away your ability to play your character properly is going to be either wisdom or charisma.

373
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And I'm okay with her having zero charisma because again, if you've played the game, she doesn't have any.

374
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But I do want to level her out on wisdom.

375
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Even from just a role-playing choice, she kind of levels out as time goes on.

376
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
So then that leaves me with two points remaining, which I know this has been incredibly hard to follow with point by.

377
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000
But this is why I don't do point by because it's just fucking hard to follow.

378
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
It's easy on an app.

379
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Or there's other options.

380
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,000
There's like standard array option where it already has the points for you and it already gives you scores and they also all add up to 27.

381
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
And you just choose what goes where.

382
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
That's the simple option, which I didn't click on, but whatever.

383
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I mean, listen, we rolled and then did like actual math equations on the last one.

384
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
So the institution is going to be at a 14 strength is going to be at 15 dexterity. You know what? I'll put one more point to strength.

385
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Fuck it. We'll bump it back up to 16 because then it's just fun to look at 16, 15, 14.

386
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
There you go. So they're not all the same.

387
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
And then I'm out of points.

388
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So my strength is going to be at 16 dexterity, 15 constitution, 13 intelligence, 10 or 12.

389
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
And then wisdom is 11.

390
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Charisma is eight. God, I was so close to having that being a really satisfying sequence.

391
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
I mean, you can change it and just go not point by and make the scores.

392
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
No, it's okay. 16, 15, 14.

393
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Did you write it on the saving throw portion?

394
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Yeah, I did that again.

395
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Second 10.

396
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
God damn it. I did it again. It's okay. I'll write everything next to it.

397
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
I'm so sorry, man.

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
No, it's okay. I did it to myself. Strength is a 16.

399
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
We even said last episode on the game.

400
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
We were like, yeah, guys, remember to write in pencil.

401
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I'm also sitting here right now color coding my previous character.

402
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
That's what your boy didn't do.

403
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
So that means I'm going to have a plus three to strength because again, 16 minus 10 is 6.

404
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
6 divided by 2 is 3 dexterity.

405
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
I think it's going to be a 2.

406
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Right. Yes. Right.

407
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I'm the wrong person. I cannot validate any math.

408
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Institutions can be plus two intelligence is going to be plus one wisdom plus zero in charisma is going to be, I think, fucking minus one.

409
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
It might even be minus two with an eight.

410
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
God damn. Yeah.

411
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Minus two?

412
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
With an eight, I think it might be.

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
I don't know how the fuck minuses work, dude.

414
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
You subtract them from any ability checks that you do for that.

415
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
No, I mean, like, I don't know how to do it.

416
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Oh, it's the same formula. It just goes negative.

417
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
So eight minus 10.

418
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Negative two.

419
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Divided by two. One.

420
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
No, two. Fuck.

421
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Yeah.

422
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Negative two.

423
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Two on charisma saving throws or on modifiers period, which also means a negative two on charisma saving throws.

424
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Homegirl would get banished so fast.

425
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Oh, yeah.

426
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
That's one of my favorite.

427
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Plus zero for wisdom.

428
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
That has a charisma saving throw.

429
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
It's going to be a plus one for intelligence saves and proficient in constitution and strength.

430
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
This means we're going to add proficiency when determining those saves.

431
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000
So her constitution saving throw is going to be a plus four.

432
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Her dex is going to be a plus two and her strength is going to be a plus five.

433
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
So not bad.

434
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
She's pretty well rounded in the things that we want her to be.

435
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But this also could lead to a pretty fun role playing moment where you just have to accept that she cannot be charismatic to save her life.

436
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Yeah, I refuse to do that.

437
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Just don't make her the face of the party and it'll be fine.

438
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Simple option.

439
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Okay, so now I get to pick two skills.

440
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Athletics and intimidation, I guess, already come with whatever the fuck else I've picked.

441
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Oh, right, with Goliath.

442
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Background.

443
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Oh, yeah, and background. Soldiers.

444
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Sorry, this app does things weird.

445
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:09,000
So I have proficiency with athletics and I have proficiency with intimidation, which makes total sense.

446
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
She'd scare the shit out of me.

447
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:19,000
So now I get to pick two more options from acrobatics animal handling history insight perception survival.

448
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
I'm going to do perception and survival 100%.

449
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
I don't think anything else makes sense for her.

450
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
She's always fighting for her life in the game.

451
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
So being perceptive and knowing how to survive are definitely two massive things.

452
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Yeah.

453
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
So now I get to pick my fighting style.

454
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
So this is where fighter differs from all the other martial classes.

455
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
You pick a fighting style.

456
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I mean, the other ones also sometimes include picking a fighting style, but the fighter, that's kind of like its defining feature.

457
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
So there are many.

458
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,000
I'm going to list a few archery, blind fighting, defense, dueling, great weapon fighting, interception, protection, superior technique.

459
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Throne weapon fighting, two weapon fighting and unarmed fighting.

460
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000
So I'm going to pick, um, holy shit.

461
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Is there not a gun option on here?

462
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000
No, gun is all, uh, homebrew.

463
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Or like it's, it's unaff...

464
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Okay, so it's like half official.

465
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I don't think it's like official official.

466
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
We're just going to do archery because it's a plus two with ranged weapons.

467
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
There you go.

468
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
I mean, guns are ranged weapon.

469
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
So...

470
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Yeah, I don't know why, but for some reason I was thinking in this app, hmm.

471
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Looks like I'm just fucking stupid, but whatever, we're going to go with archery because plus two to ranged.

472
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
She uses guns, so.

473
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
All right, hit point time.

474
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Um, show as a fighter.

475
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Now is when you get to like look up roles.

476
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
We have a d10, um, which is nice.

477
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,000
A lot better than some magic.

478
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Out of d6?

479
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Yeah.

480
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000
So hit points at the first level, she's going to have 10 plus your constitution modifier, which my con mod is plus two.

481
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
So I'm going to have 12 to start.

482
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And then we're going to level her up to three like we did with the last one.

483
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Um, so we're going to go ahead and roll d10 on the computer.

484
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Roll d10.

485
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Go.

486
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
I got a 10.

487
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Holy fuck.

488
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Aw, bullshit.

489
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Wow, that's crazy.

490
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Ooh, re-roll.

491
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Jesus Christ.

492
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Um, god fuck, that takes her up to 24 at level two.

493
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Fuck?

494
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Yeah, no, that takes her up to 24.

495
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Oh yeah, because at first level you automatically get 10.

496
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
At first level she's at 12.

497
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Yeah, and then the way that it works is you roll one dice per level when you're going up.

498
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
And I'm only level one, so leveling up to two, I roll a d10.

499
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
I got a 10 plus my con mod.

500
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Damn.

501
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
I'm up to fucking 24 health at level two.

502
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
That's crazy.

503
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Just for comparison, uh, my, oh, my homegirl that I made, um, in the last episode at level three had 19 hit points.

504
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Yeah.

505
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Um, so now I have to pick my equipment.

506
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Um, I get to choose between either chain mail or a leather armor and a longbow.

507
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
So I'm going to take leather armor and a longbow since I wanted to be a ranged weapon user.

508
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Um, so I'm going to go to write that down.

509
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Oh, I hated that you could hear me sniffle.

510
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Oh, and longbows and other ranged weapons, by the way, for those of you that choose to pick those, um, depending on your DM, you will have ammo.

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Um, which means you have to, you know, keep in mind your shots and how many times you're firing, which can get difficult sometimes.

512
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:30,000
So, uh, I can only choose from Marshal Weapons, so that means I get to give her any of the fun list of Marshal Weapons, which you can just Google that.

513
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
If you literally just look at Marshal Weapons.

514
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Marshal Weapons and then like D&D.

515
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Yeah, D&D.

516
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Specifically.

517
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Yeah, you can't just Google Marshal Weapons.

518
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
You might get a visit from like the FBI or something.

519
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
You looked up weapons, you're going to jail now.

520
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000
She doesn't use any weapons though, so this is going to be a difficult decision.

521
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Um.

522
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Well, I mean, are you making it based off of her?

523
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Yeah, I mean, there's a pretty crucial moment where she uses a hammer to like kill a shit ton of infected.

524
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000
So maybe I'll just do like a war hammer.

525
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,000
I'm trying to think of like what somebody who's trained in CQC would use.

526
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And the only thing on this fucking insane list is going to be a war hammer.

527
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
So we're just going to do a war hammer.

528
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Fuck it.

529
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,000
And then we're going to go crazy in that game.

530
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Yep, yep, yep.

531
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,000
My favorite weapon from the last of us is when it was like an axe or like a pickaxe or something.

532
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And then they like taped a knife to the other end of it.

533
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Do you know what I'm talking about?

534
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Oh, there's a pipe and they taped a knife.

535
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Yeah, that's.

536
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

537
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
You can upgrade weapons so that they.

538
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I've asked to have that in game and I was told no because I think that weapon is hilarious.

539
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
I get another Marshal Weapon because I'm a fighter.

540
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Ah.

541
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
You got this.

542
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
You can make decisions.

543
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I have to make decisions.

544
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Jesus Christ.

545
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
ADHD and like choice paralysis is.

546
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I'm going to do a mall.

547
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000
It's so real.

548
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
It's basically the same thing and it's heavy to weapon to weapon handed.

549
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And now I get to choose between a light crossbow and hand axes.

550
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Again, I'm going with light crossbow.

551
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
I want her to be very like ranged weapon users.

552
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And I also took the archery fighting style, which means I'm going to have a plus two to

553
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
my ranged weapon attacks.

554
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Keep that in mind.

555
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
That's super important.

556
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
I get to pick between a Dungeon Years pack and an Explorer's pack.

557
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000
I'm going to do Explorer.

558
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
She's not dungeon Crawley.

559
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
She's all about just staying alive.

560
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Now I get to name her.

561
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000
I'm going to name her.

562
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I'm going to keep it super simple.

563
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,000
We're going to do Abby.

564
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
You're not even like do like a like change it up a little.

565
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Well, the first thing that came to mind was like Abeleth, but that's just a fucking creature.

566
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Maybe like rearrange the letters.

567
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
You like doing that.

568
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Yeah.

569
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
I mean, I guess I could Yiba YBA.

570
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
I mean, yeah, we'll do that.

571
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Yeah, that works.

572
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Yiba.

573
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,000
I'm going to name her as Yiba.

574
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Yiba.

575
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Yeah, or Yiba.

576
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
You want to say it YBBA.

577
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I'll go YBBA.

578
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
We'll throw two B's.

579
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
We'll just literally spell it backwards.

580
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Here we go.

581
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000
And just like that.

582
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And guess what?

583
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,000
If you show up to a table with this character named Yiba and you like don't tell anyone,

584
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
hey, this is just Abby from The Last of Us, people will never know.

585
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
No.

586
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
That is how much you can like, we talked about this in our like building and like flavor episode

587
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
of like, you can just make your character from your favorite game.

588
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
So it looks like an eight gives me a minus one, not a minus two.

589
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Okay.

590
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
I don't know how the fuck that's determined, but whatever.

591
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Maybe we just did math wrong.

592
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
I probably definitely did math wrong.

593
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
So anyways, I have all that figured out.

594
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
I can also see what my initiative is, which it looks like it's a plus two.

595
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,000
My armor class is going to be 13 because a leather armor that gives you I think a plus.

596
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
I think it's 11 plus.

597
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
11 plus decks.

598
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Let me let me check that out.

599
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I believe it'll tell me.

600
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
It'll tell me.

601
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
It'll tell me.

602
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
It'll tell me.

603
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Armor, prevention, equipment.

604
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Yeah.

605
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Leather armor.

606
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Leather armor is going to give me.

607
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Yeah.

608
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000
It's 11 plus decks.

609
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000
You're right.

610
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,000
So 13.

611
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Look at me.

612
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Wow.

613
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000
She's really doing it.

614
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Really hitting it today, man.

615
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
So now we're going to go ahead and level the fuck up.

616
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,000
I'm going to hit max on this on the app because I didn't roll it on the app.

617
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Now I'm going to roll again.

618
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Roll another d10 fucking three.

619
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Are you kidding me?

620
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
So if I'm following by my own rules, I can either take average, which would be five or

621
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
I can roll again.

622
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
I'm rolling again.

623
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Watch me get a one.

624
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
A three.

625
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Fucking three again.

626
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
God damn it.

627
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
So plus five.

628
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Son of a bitch.

629
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
That hurts my soul.

630
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Damn.

631
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Yeah.

632
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
That's rough.

633
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I'm not going to pretend that's not.

634
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,000
No, that sucks.

635
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,000
That 100% sucks.

636
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Yeah.

637
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Now I get to choose my fighter archetype, which this is where you would pick gunslinger.

638
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,800
If you had an app that allowed you to do that, but I do not.

639
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,800
There's definitely a way in there that you can.

640
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,800
I'm confident in that.

641
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,800
I think you can add a way into it, but I don't think you can just like choose one.

642
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,800
So the options that are going to make the most sense for her are going to be champion,

643
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,800
which means perfect.

644
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,800
It says perfect your skill in combat or battle master learn specialized combat maneuvers.

645
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800
CQC like close quarters combat is very like combat maneuver.

646
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,800
So we're going to pick battle master.

647
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:03,800
So now I get as my subclass battle master or as my archetype battle master, I get to

648
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,800
pick three maneuvers to learn, which is actually pretty cool.

649
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Yeah.

650
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800
I love all of the certainly long fucking list.

651
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,800
So I'm just going to look at the ones that make the most sense.

652
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Let me see here.

653
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,800
Say something while I read this list.

654
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,800
That's so much pressure to put on me.

655
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Figure it out.

656
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,800
Jesus Christ.

657
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Give me a prompt.

658
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Come on.

659
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,800
Come on.

660
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Okay.

661
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,800
Um, I've never played a martial character before.

662
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Quite honestly, I'm scared to know that works.

663
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,800
That works.

664
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,800
Keep going.

665
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Well, don't encourage me because now it's weird.

666
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Just mind your business and do your thing.

667
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,800
But I, I, one of the like things I have written down or if I've not already used as like an

668
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,800
episode greeting is like players who have only played like one class and are too scared to

669
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,800
look at the others.

670
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,800
And then you ask me with magic users.

671
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,800
I refuse to play martial characters.

672
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800
You're running?

673
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,800
Well, now I'm on a roll and you're just interrupting.

674
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,800
They're ridiculous amount of maneuvers.

675
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,800
They're basically just things that you can add superiority dice to, which is also something

676
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,800
related to writing.

677
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Kind of like sorcery points.

678
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Yeah.

679
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,800
So we talked about sorcery points last time where you get to like spend them to do random

680
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,800
things for sorcery points.

681
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,800
We probably skip right the fuck over.

682
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800
Anyway, there are different classes that come in different points.

683
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,120
I mean we would have talked about it on our class background so yeah her class episode go watch that

684
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,320
So for fighters you get what are called superiority die and you can basically add them to

685
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Based on the maneuvers you pick it looks like for the specific subclass

686
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,880
I can add those superiority dies to certain actions

687
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:43,620
So I picked grappling strike because she's yeah grappler so that means that I can use grappling

688
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,820
You can grapple using a bonus action. Oh, that's so sick when you hit with an attack

689
00:31:49,820 --> 00:31:53,500
Gaining superiority died to the check so that means if I hit somebody

690
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:57,640
Like I succeed I go above their AC armor class

691
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,340
I can then choose to go straight into the grapple action is a bonus action, which is incredibly powerful

692
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:05,180
And then I can add my superiority to that

693
00:32:05,180 --> 00:32:08,220
I also picked precise strike because goddamn she does hands

694
00:32:08,620 --> 00:32:11,140
It allows me to use superiority dice to an attack roll

695
00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:13,500
So that's just a very straight up nice thing to have yeah

696
00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:16,540
And it's not specific to melee attack rolls

697
00:32:16,540 --> 00:32:21,460
Which is even better because that means that from a distance I can add that superiority die to

698
00:32:21,980 --> 00:32:26,460
Firing with a weapon or with a bow. Oh shit. Yeah, that's really nice and then tactical assessment

699
00:32:26,460 --> 00:32:29,340
You gain superiority died a history investigation or insight

700
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:33,620
Which I would probably change that if I had more time to look at the other ones, but for

701
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:38,500
Time's sake. I'm gonna pick that. I was just thinking she's a soldier. She's very intelligent. So yeah

702
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,500
I picked all of my sense

703
00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:44,140
Tactical assessments, so we're just gonna pick that

704
00:32:44,140 --> 00:32:48,540
And then I'm gonna write already rolled for health again fucking three

705
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:53,120
So five so I have 31 health at level three, which isn't the worst

706
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:55,980
So I'm gonna put that on my hit point

707
00:32:56,260 --> 00:32:58,260
maximum

708
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,900
Awesome

709
00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:01,900
We pretty much have a character now

710
00:33:02,220 --> 00:33:07,380
I mean I would need to go through and do my scores for my skills and stuff like that to figure those out

711
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:10,460
So with intimidation, it's a charisma based. I have a minus one

712
00:33:10,460 --> 00:33:14,140
To charisma, which means I'm gonna have a one

713
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:17,060
intimidation because my proficiency bonus

714
00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:24,640
As a fucking Goliath fighter having a negative to intimidation is so funny. I'm gonna have a zero on insight

715
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,600
I'm gonna have his intelligence history one deception

716
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,300
fucking one

717
00:33:32,140 --> 00:33:36,060
Athletics is gonna be oh, that's just gonna be so nice. It's gonna be five

718
00:33:36,060 --> 00:33:41,660
Or con a one. I'm not gonna read the rest of them off. They're not important. Anyways, that would just be me going through everything

719
00:33:41,660 --> 00:33:43,660
And then putting down the numbers

720
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:46,180
So yeah, we have a character at this point

721
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:51,740
There's not a whole lot else to like walk through except for ideals bonds flaws

722
00:33:51,740 --> 00:33:55,520
Like this is how fast creating a character goes once you have the process down

723
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,020
It's just a matter of looking up everything to like make sure you're putting in the right information

724
00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:03,140
And if you have an app that makes it incredibly easy to do. Yes

725
00:34:03,140 --> 00:34:07,780
So I guess for funsies and because you did it I'm gonna go to

726
00:34:08,740 --> 00:34:10,940
Let's see here the soldier background

727
00:34:10,940 --> 00:34:13,780
And then start rolling for ideals bonds and flaws

728
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:18,300
But I think I'm gonna pick the ones that make the most sense for her instead of rolling

729
00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:20,580
Because I already have an idea for a care

730
00:34:20,580 --> 00:34:21,780
Yeah, and I'll be honest

731
00:34:21,780 --> 00:34:26,780
I got there and pick mine a lot of the time because I also go in with an idea of who I want

732
00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:31,220
I'm built concept and like personality first and then I go into the mechanics

733
00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:36,140
Yeah, so it looks like I get to pick a specialty. So during your time as a soldier you had a specific role to play

734
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:44,380
The options are officer scout infantry Calvary healer quarter master standard bear or support staff. She's definitely

735
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,620
Infantry, yeah, I would say or scout

736
00:34:48,180 --> 00:34:52,420
We're gonna go with infantry just cuz she's a front lines kind of bitch. You know what I'm saying. Yeah

737
00:34:53,740 --> 00:34:56,180
That gives us that feature military rank

738
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:59,620
So if I were to pick the soldier background, I would be able to basically pull rank

739
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:03,420
To be recognized within my military organization

740
00:35:04,060 --> 00:35:06,060
Or if I'm in like a town

741
00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:11,820
The way that I would like let my characters use that is like if they're an occupying force

742
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:14,900
Maybe like a little bit of respect also if they're like the

743
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:21,060
Like the military that's like native to that area. I would give them advantage on certain checks

744
00:35:21,580 --> 00:35:26,460
And if they're like an occupying military, maybe it's like advantage on intimidation that kind of thing

745
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:30,060
Mm-hmm. Cool. So now we're gonna go to character traits

746
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:33,900
So personality traits we have a fun fun fun list

747
00:35:34,060 --> 00:35:38,940
So basically talks about how the horrors of war combined with the rigid discipline have left the marks on you

748
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:40,580
So like choose a thing

749
00:35:40,580 --> 00:35:45,420
So the personality show personality traits we have are always polite and respectful

750
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:47,900
by memories of war

751
00:35:48,420 --> 00:35:51,660
Definitely that so I'm probably gonna put multiple on here for her

752
00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:55,740
So I'm gonna say to haunted by the memories of war. I can't get rid of the images of violence

753
00:35:55,740 --> 00:35:58,860
She literally in part of the game relives her father dying

754
00:35:58,860 --> 00:36:02,820
I'm not gonna spoil it in case anybody's played the games, but her father shocker does die

755
00:36:02,820 --> 00:36:04,420
You'll find I mean that happens in the yeah

756
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:06,980
You'll find out how very quickly that happens

757
00:36:06,980 --> 00:36:12,260
So it's not a huge spoiler but her dad did sigh and she does relive that moment and then a very traumatic moment that happens later

758
00:36:12,260 --> 00:36:15,940
In the game because of that over and over and over again like it's a driving motivation for her

759
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:19,860
So I'm gonna pick that I would go with eight for the next one. I face problems head-on

760
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:22,580
Yeah, I face problems head-on

761
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:29,200
And then yeah, yeah, yeah, I can stare down a hell without flinching. Oh a hellhound. Sorry

762
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:34,140
Yeah, it's just a little I like being strong and enjoy breaking things now

763
00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:36,700
It's just Hulk

764
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:42,140
Yeah, I'm gonna say I face problems head-on simple direct solutions the best path to success because she picks revenge

765
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:46,700
If I were picking post last of us to I would say I've lost too many friends and I'm slow to make new ones

766
00:36:47,420 --> 00:36:51,940
But that doesn't really happen until the very end of the game. So you weren't giving spoilers

767
00:36:51,940 --> 00:36:57,100
I mean if you've seen listen, I didn't say how many I just said a lot of her friends die

768
00:36:57,260 --> 00:36:59,700
Anyways, you'll figure that out in the first half

769
00:37:01,940 --> 00:37:08,100
Yeah, I face problems head-on so we're gonna give her that so we're gonna say this is like pre trauma Abby or pretty Ellie

770
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,700
Abby I should say

771
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:12,660
Which is basically the same thing. Yeah, Ellie fucks her life up

772
00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:17,660
We're gonna move to ideals now great or good our lot is to lay down. Nope

773
00:37:17,660 --> 00:37:23,020
So this is kind of where I need to decide her her alignment

774
00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:26,340
She's kind of neutral like

775
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:32,580
It depends on what perspective you have because when you're playing as Ellie, she's a hundred percent evil

776
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:36,400
But when you're playing as Abby herself you kind of get this like

777
00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:39,340
chaotic good

778
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:41,340
nature to her

779
00:37:41,940 --> 00:37:44,740
So that's kind of difficult to pick if I'm being honest

780
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:49,140
See here nation my city nation or people are all that matter

781
00:37:49,140 --> 00:37:52,820
I live and live ideals aren't worth dying for a going to war over

782
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:56,260
Might in life is war stronger force wins

783
00:37:57,380 --> 00:38:00,580
Independence when people follow orders mindly they embrace a kind of tyranny

784
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:03,380
responsibility I do

785
00:38:03,380 --> 00:38:08,140
What I must and obey just authority. I'm gonna go with chaotic good

786
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:12,780
So I'm gonna do greater good our lot is to lay down our lives in the defense of others and

787
00:38:12,780 --> 00:38:16,940
Independence when people follow orders blindly they embrace a kind of tyranny

788
00:38:17,540 --> 00:38:20,060
Because she does kind of have like a pretty big character arc

789
00:38:20,540 --> 00:38:27,060
And is dim you see very quickly like early on when you switch to her perspective that like she is a good person at heart

790
00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:29,380
And that drives a lot of the internal conflict

791
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:33,140
Yeah, like the fact that she makes such a fucked up decision

792
00:38:33,540 --> 00:38:39,080
For revenge in the beginning of the game is like what drives her character to become a good person over time

793
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,240
So we're gonna say chaotic good. Yeah

794
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,120
For our alignment and I guess our ideals to yeah

795
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Okay, oh dick good

796
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,760
Because she definitely murders a lot of motherfuckers so I'm not very awful very much so bond

797
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:04,480
I would lie still lay down my life for the people I served with I mean definitely true

798
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,640
Yeah, so when save my life in the battlefield to this. Oh, that's yeah, that's a hundred percent true

799
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,840
Yeah

800
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,640
My honor is my life. No, I never forget the crushing defeat. No those who fight beside me or worth dying for me fight for those

801
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,040
You cannot I'm gonna go with six and two so one save my life in the battlefield to this day

802
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,560
I will never leave a friend behind and six I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves

803
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,040
Her whole character arc is kicked off by her saving

804
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:34,320
Basically a couple of kids. Yeah that are in like a perilous situation and then they kind of save her and that's how it kicks off

805
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,200
They're like bond and her character arc. So I'd say she definitely has it within her to do that

806
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,680
Cool, they gives me her bonds

807
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,040
now the flaws

808
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:51,800
The monstrous enemy we faced in battle still lives me queues lives me leaves me quivering with fear

809
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,720
Kind of I have little respect for anyone who is not a proven warrior. No

810
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Made a terrible mistake in battle. Yeah

811
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,160
Yeah, that one made a terrible and I would do anything to keep that mistake secret

812
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,200
hatred of enemies blind and unreasoning

813
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,800
I have pay the law I'd rather

814
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,520
I'm gonna say four and three

815
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,400
So yeah, I'm gonna say that her flaws are that I made a terrible mistake in battle that cost many lives

816
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,400
And I would do anything to keep that mistake secret

817
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,720
Literally the first thing she does in the beginning of the game haunts her for the rest of it and then for my hatred of my enemies

818
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:31,880
Is blind and unreasoning it's literally what drives her to make that mistake. Yeah, so we have a bit of a complex character showing up here

819
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,880
Even just on the character sheet

820
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,320
Which is nice. It's what we like to see so

821
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:43,320
Yeah, I think we're pretty much done dude. Yeah, I mean that this went pretty honestly we

822
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,440
Hey, this shit sucks. Do you have something you want to send in to make it better?

823
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,440
Criticisms topics you'd like to see discussed or an advertisement you'd like to run

824
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,560
Maybe you even want to sponsor an episode if so shoot us a message at MC

825
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,600
460 at evansville.edu or DM us on Instagram at Crescent magazine

826
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Or we'll never get better like these fucking guys, but there are a couple of things I wanted to talk about

827
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Just because it's never not used to having episodes that run this short. Yeah, so what I did long-winded mother fuckers

828
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,000
We are what I did today

829
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000
I was I brought a character to the table and I said this is the character I want to make and then built

830
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,640
All of the mechanics and the stats and the roles around that fictional character

831
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,840
My advice for people that do that because I'm not against it like if Madison came to the table tomorrow and said I want to scrap

832
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,160
Daisy

833
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,760
And I would like to play I don't know fucking starlight from the boys instead

834
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,080
Which similar pretty similar character actually, which is which is funny

835
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Because I wrote this character long before

836
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,960
Yeah, I'd interact with boys. I would say that's totally cool

837
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:59,720
How are we gonna be different at the table because like what I don't want as a DM is for somebody to play the character

838
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:05,840
Mechanically the same and then also just be that character point blank period because that's just not fun

839
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,240
one of the I

840
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:12,160
Actually went to this is not a class that I'm in but a class that was here

841
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:13,960
that

842
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:20,600
El his fiance was in and I tagged along this morning because she told me it was their whole week this week was a it's a

843
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,680
like short story fiction class and it was

844
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,320
Deemed fan fiction we get there we're talking all about fan fiction like how that actually a lot last night

845
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,520
I did help

846
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:35,680
And it was like it brought up some interesting conversations because like I mean in like a lot of fan created works and like fan fiction

847
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:41,080
And I think this is like really similar to what we're talking about if you come in with these concepts and these characters that are already made

848
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:48,120
And already have a set canon that they follow anytime you create anything you notice that they start straying farther and farther from there

849
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Like original thing until you can just change the name of the character and you will have no idea that it was ever originally connected

850
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Yeah, if you take these two people and you if you take fucking

851
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,800
Luke Leia and Han and you put him in a coffee shop and then you're writing and you're like in a completely different universe

852
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:09,240
And a completely different setting they're gonna have to make different choices because of that and by the end of like the fan fiction

853
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,400
You're writing nerd fuck off

854
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:19,200
I like Star Wars I just I have the hardest time watching the original trilogy, which is most people's favorite. So that's fair

855
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,800
It's my favorite. I'm like once I've seen it's gotta get you young see for me

856
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,600
It's like once I've seen the newer shiny thing

857
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:33,040
It's hard for me to go back and watch the yeah thing cuz like just the clunk. No, it's real like I remember as a child thinking that the fight between

858
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,240
Like Kenobi and Darth Vader in a new hope. I was like, oh my god

859
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:39,320
This is so sick watching it older

860
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,200
And I think it was like an honest trailer that was like two old people two old geezers gently like poking at each other with

861
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,880
Plostics and that's what I can watch it. Yeah, like it's rough. It's very strong at the same time. I

862
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,640
Was indoctrinated in so yeah shit like that gets you young

863
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160
But yeah by the time you're done with a work

864
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Or like a fan created thing you can just change the name of the characters and people will have no idea that it started

865
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,080
Is that and there's like so many published works out there?

866
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:11,000
That are fully that yeah, so I guess there are a few things I have left to finish

867
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,200
So I have age weight height hair skin eyes, etc cosmetics

868
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:23,200
So Abbey I'm gonna say between the 280 and 350 scale that they said Goliath normally are we're gonna

869
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,200
I'm gonna say like easily

870
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:33,520
330 I think she's a large person even by like male standards like she dwarfs a lot of the men in the game

871
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,280
So I think more big women in your games always in life

872
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,600
I'm gonna say she's probably pretty close to the age of the the character Madison made yesterday

873
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,920
I'm gonna say she's like 24 25

874
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:51,400
I can't she doesn't look any older than that and she's basically the same age as Ellie who I think is like

875
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:57,360
Yeah, like 1920 so I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna put her 23 actually now that I'm thinking about that

876
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,760
I'm gonna put her 23 she definitely strikes me as a little more mature than Ellie

877
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,720
So I'm gonna say she has more years that also just could come from being in the military

878
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,400
Um eyes I'm gonna say red

879
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:15,440
Just because revenge is very much in her nature and so maybe that's like the eye killer thing changes over time

880
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,360
I think that could be a cool thing height. I'm gonna say

881
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:24,680
She's not particularly tall so it said queen what seven to eight feet

882
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,560
I think it said was average for a Goliath so I'm just gonna say we're gonna go with eight feet

883
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:34,200
I mean that's already taller than most creatures and characters. That is tall. Yeah, but because she has to be she's a

884
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,680
Clive, you know, I thought you were saying she didn't want her to be that tall and you went max height

885
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:44,160
It's not max height. I think max height for a Goliath is nine. Okay, I think the lowest is seven like oh my god

886
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,480
What is happening?

887
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:52,640
It was messages from someone Jesus Christ. Anyways scan um, I don't know. I don't know. Let me see

888
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,640
I'm gonna Google really quick

889
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,980
Goliath look like I imagine like an ash and gray. Yeah, I think they're very

890
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,200
Like mountain folky with like head truly kind of thing

891
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,800
Let me look them up. Yeah, that's exactly what they are. Yeah

892
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,340
Yeah, they have like these weird like head tattoos

893
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,160
Yeah, looks like it almost be like a genetic thing too

894
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,520
I'll say I wonder if their tattoos or if they are like actual

895
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,720
No, I think their tattoos because I mean nature doesn't make lens. That's great

896
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:29,400
I mean, it's a bunch of dragons anyways. I'm gonna say that they're tattoos. I'm gonna say that she's like

897
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,640
Like an ash and gray like Madison suggested earlier. I think that's super cool

898
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,480
And then just give her tattoos and then maybe I would spend some time

899
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Making her tattoos like a specific to like a military regiment or an army that she left behind

900
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:52,160
Or even an army that she's still currently in like that's kind of maybe what her her tribal this is or that's kind of what the tattoos in her body

901
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,520
signify

902
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:59,000
And then I would take that one step further and say that those tattoos like maybe indicate how many kills she has or the like

903
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,240
Signifies her or signifies her role as an infantry

904
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,040
Or even like a skilled infantry because in the game. She's like

905
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,520
They note several times that Abby is like a cut above the rest. She's like special ops for them

906
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:17,560
So like whenever they need something done, they send Abby Abby a seal team six basically like a one like a woman army

907
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,400
I mean if you play the game, you know anything about it. I mean she's a bad bitch

908
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:25,360
She most people down so I'm gonna say that her tattoos maybe indicate that she's like some special forces that kind of thing

909
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:28,480
And then hair they're all fucking bald

910
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,880
So I'm just gonna say she's bald maybe give her like

911
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,840
Like a ponytail or something just cuz she has like her being bald give her make her bald

912
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,920
I mean, I'm thinking like a thin strip of hair though with like nothing on the sides and then just hide in a ponytail

913
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,080
Oh Jesus Christ, sorry like if you've seen

914
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,520
How do I fucking describe this like where you have a basically your bald here?

915
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:54,560
And then you just have long hair on the top and then you just like do a topknot kind of thing like an undercut

916
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,120
Yeah, like the opposite of an undercut like an undercut. Okay, I

917
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,560
Okay, I rock with an undercut. Yeah, you see I'm saying I rock with an undercut. Yeah, yeah

918
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Yeah, so I'm gonna give her an undercut with like a ponytail on the back cuz she has

919
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,960
She has a ponytail like the whole game. So I don't know I kind of want to keep that aspect in it

920
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:18,040
And then hair I'll probably just go black like I want to be super generic, but I'm just you know black. It is what it is

921
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,320
Um

922
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:25,480
Like a black so now this is where I would start maybe trying to diverge because I'm not playing in a modern setting

923
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:32,760
So I can't say that like last of us events took place and I'm gonna put myself in the sort of coast here

924
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:39,440
I'm gonna say this is maybe where I would ask my DM like hey, can we make like a war conical?

925
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,480
Like what kind of conflicts?

926
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,720
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah, no, we'll give it to you. You need practice. She's eventually gonna try and DM herself

927
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:52,000
So yeah, I've got too many control issues to DM right now. I'm gonna say we're on the sort coast

928
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:58,920
What kind of like wars what kind of like battle regiments? What kind of armies? Okay, let's say there is like

929
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,680
Tar come out of shit on the flight. Oh well it listed if you didn't attach it to sword coast

930
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,320
I could make shit up, but I don't want to like say anything and get the source books wrong. Oh, well just make shit up

931
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,520
Then we're just okay, then it's not the sort of coast. Okay, so there is

932
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:19,120
It's a so this is a world and there's several different like factions in it

933
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:24,280
Some of them are bigger than the other there's two really big ones that always seem to be kind of fighting with each other

934
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,000
one is very more like for the people and a little bit more of like a

935
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,540
Anarchistic is probably a bit much maybe a little bit more like communistic

936
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,440
Society, this is also me knowing last of us. Oh, yeah

937
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:45,720
a little bit yeah, and I was going Jackson. Oh, right, right, right, and then there's also

938
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,600
That makes total sense a world and because I'm just gonna go straight last of us

939
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:58,260
So that this communistic society is I would in real I I would pull up fantasy name generator

940
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,760
And come up with a name, but I'm not gonna do that right now because I'm gonna stress myself out

941
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:03,880
Cuz I can't talk in type

942
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:09,760
So we're gonna have that one in that but the person who founded it this one would have bulged a little bit was someone who like

943
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,040
During the war. Yeah, where these factions were created committed horrible atrocities

944
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,120
And like was really like a like brutal leader

945
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:25,200
Yeah, and then on the flip side the other like primary faction is gonna be one that's a little bit more military base

946
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,480
It's a little stricter and there's a class there's like a clear

947
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,320
structure in a class system where there isn't any other

948
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,480
and

949
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,560
There's still a bit of tension between those two factions specifically

950
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:43,640
That always seems to like that's never really been resolved right right right so then with that

951
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,520
I think what where I would push them as I would want her to be obviously part of the military like faction

952
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,800
The leader of the other one sounds a hell of a lot like Joel

953
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,520
That was the goal. Yeah. Yeah. Well Joel didn't found Jackson's you know, I know I said I was gonna die bold

954
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,920
I know I understand understand understand I get it. I get it. This is it for you the super people listening

955
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:07,120
I know my lore she does she's seen me play the game. She's watched the show whatever whatever anyways

956
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,520
I think this is where I would say that maybe like I would want

957
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:11,920
I think it would be interesting

958
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:17,820
Eva's father to have been like a general that like went to war against like this Jackson

959
00:51:17,820 --> 00:51:24,440
Ask other like one and like was very aware of all the fucked up shit. He was doing but maybe they like whitewash their history

960
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,560
And like now he's like turned a new leaf to the public

961
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:35,200
And so her mission is to like oust him as like the terrible fucked up person that did all these things to like the rest

962
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:41,960
Of the factions to be like no fucked them like you guys are constantly saying we're wrong because we're military focused and like

963
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:47,040
We're bad for going against like the communists like share the food people now. Fuck you bro

964
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,280
Like your leaders like you're founded on blood. Yeah. Yeah, you're founded on blood

965
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:55,520
Like your leader committed like fucking war crimes. Yeah, you're like stop killing it. No get fucked

966
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,760
I think even and this is where I would I don't know where the line is between DM and player

967
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,000
Because my brain goes to I think it would be really interesting if specifically

968
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:10,200
Eva's father was killed after like a treaty had been called or in a treaty had been placed and was killed like out of

969
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:18,920
Like basically breaking fantasy Geneva conventions of like the war is over and then still killed and that is also like a driving force behind

970
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,200
I think I would present that to a player and see if they're interested in that

971
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,080
I would 100% take that and I think I would even want it to be like an investigation thing

972
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Like that's like a primary thing that like Eva has to figure out as a character like maybe it's like if you can get the details

973
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,240
On it then you can like well like you can prove that it happened

974
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:40,980
Then like maybe there's like a right that you can challenge them to like a fight or you can challenge him to like you know

975
00:52:40,980 --> 00:52:46,840
Go to like martial combat or you can just straight up like if maybe if this character is so driven by like hatred and revenge

976
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,160
Maybe it's just like if you can find evidence that that happened

977
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:53,800
You can say the treaty is absolutely fucking zilch and then you get start the war again

978
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,760
And I think for what I think Abby's character what I would probably try to or Eva's character

979
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:04,840
I think what I would try to do is like prove that it happened and then try to like kind of 1v1 it and then humiliate him in

980
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,200
Front of his people. Yeah, and like I really fucked up way too like following true to last of us

981
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:15,320
Like I would get that 1v1 like even if I had to fake circumstances to be like nah like look clearly

982
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:20,980
This is what happened now you owe me the right to like martial combat and then I would humiliate the piss out of him

983
00:53:20,980 --> 00:53:26,200
Yeah, like I would parade his body around and be like look guys. There's your leader like have fun

984
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,200
I think that'd be really interesting

985
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,320
Even I'm also like sitting here going and coming up with like a bunch of like fucking I'm sitting here going like oh

986
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,760
I've got so many ideas for like characters in this world

987
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:42,720
But that I think is where I would take Eva and I would be curious to see if whether or not I would be playing Eva post

988
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,040
like after that

989
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:51,240
Or during that I would almost like to play her after like I would like to talk about all of that stuff and say that's like

990
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,360
cannon for the universe and that like

991
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Now we pick up with Eva who's like on the run from basically like this kingdom who she humiliated like maybe it's like you have the

992
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,160
Right to martial combat, but you're not allowed to kill our leader

993
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,440
Like you can beat him and we can say that you've done that and he'll be punished for his crimes

994
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,560
But you're not allowed to kill him and I think that's where I would say well

995
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:14,440
Maybe Eva says fuck that yeah, maybe Eva like has him on his knees and he's like fuck you and your father

996
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Like I'm still gonna get away like I'm not gonna die

997
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,600
Yeah, I'm gonna rot in a prison, but you're not gonna get to kill me and he was like no fuck you and kills you in front of like

998
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,080
All of her kills her kills him in front of all of his people and then like goes in the run

999
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:32,600
Yeah, then you have the the daughter who picks up the mantle. Yeah. Yeah, and then you get the last of us too

1000
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:39,280
Yeah, and then maybe like a really good then antagonist for Eva is a character that is now like that leader's daughter

1001
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:44,760
Who doesn't who's never understood all of the terrible things or was raised at a time where like she didn't understand

1002
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,400
Just how bad and then also her motivations would be completely foil this because also

1003
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:53,520
Eva would have killed the leader out of treaty like out of outside of the realms in the

1004
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:58,600
And that breaks the tree and that starts a war and now it's like part of what what's on Eva's conscience is like now

1005
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:03,160
She started a war again. Yeah, you know and like she's not an inherently bad person at heart

1006
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:07,200
So it's like now I have to watch all these people get murdered because like of my revenge

1007
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,920
And then that's basically just Abby's arc through last of us. Yeah

1008
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,460
And then that that's where I would like to pick up because I think that'd be a lot of fun

1009
00:55:13,460 --> 00:55:16,840
I like playing like morally ambiguous like

1010
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,880
Difficult shit on the mind characters because I think it's more interesting like I don't think there's a lot of people out there

1011
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,920
That are like trouble-free worry-free

1012
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:29,600
And so I like the idea of playing people that are a little more true to life and that like they have something a little fucked up about

1013
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:35,320
Yeah, so, you know, it's my itch for like them that moral ethical conversation. Yeah

1014
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,320
She's too. I am as a person

1015
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,480
I'm well aware better for worse. I love talking morals philosophy all that kind of fun stuff. So yeah

1016
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:50,920
But yeah, that's that's how I would I would take Eva and then I think it would be hard not to role-player like Abby

1017
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:57,480
Well, especially we went from okay, let's put her in a universe. That's not the last of us to see how that would and I just said okay

1018
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,480
Here's fantasy last of us

1019
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:06,120
But yeah, I mean I think you can also still put this into a world where that's that's not a thing

1020
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,160
Maybe you can change details of like maybe it wasn't the father that was killed

1021
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,880
Maybe it was her younger sister right and that changes a lot of like, you know

1022
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,920
Then it becomes a place of like this is not so much for honor

1023
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:20,400
but it is for like or like for principle, but it is you killed a

1024
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,360
child like a my my sister

1025
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:29,720
And then maybe there's miscommunication in like the way that the the death happened and

1026
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,000
Maybe it's not even a specific person that killed them

1027
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,040
But a like an army even just going back to like the fan-fed conversation like what I was talking about last night when I was playing last

1028
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:44,480
Of us too because I've played it several times. This is my third or fourth playthrough. I'm almost finished with it

1029
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:50,000
Masochistic behavior truly to play that game more than once. Yeah, well a difficulty junkie

1030
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,760
I like playing things in the hardest difficulty and like getting better at it. But anyways, I love the story

1031
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,080
I love the writing for one and two and when I was talking about like what I would do fan fiction for like in that moment

1032
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,960
I would have loved to have seen like a conversation between like Abby and Ellie

1033
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,840
From like last of us right. So we're talking about

1034
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:15,360
Because they never talk like it's only ever a conflict between the two and like fuck you know fuck you

1035
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,280
Yeah, it's like oh you killed my dad now. I'm gonna go after you and it's like no you killed my dad

1036
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,560
I'm gonna go after you and then it's just like it's a game of murder. Yeah, I was gonna say it's a fucked up tag

1037
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,860
Yeah, and so I would love I would love to we fully just gave spoilers

1038
00:57:27,860 --> 00:57:29,440
We were trying to knock in spoilers earlier

1039
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:35,520
I would have loved to have seen like an actual conversation be forced between the two like stuck in the same like stuck in a situation

1040
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,880
Where they have mutual interest for survival and so it's like when we get out of this

1041
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:43,360
I'm gonna kill you but also I have no choice but to cooperate you and I think in that moment

1042
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,140
They could have come to an understanding that maybe would have like changed the outcome of the rest of the game

1043
00:57:47,140 --> 00:57:48,200
Yeah

1044
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:53,120
Because they're they're meant to be foils to one another and they're meant to be reflections of each other

1045
00:57:53,800 --> 00:58:00,680
To the to the bitter end like they don't complete both of their their journeys or their circles like that Jesus Christ

1046
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,680
They're arcs until the very end of the game

1047
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:09,160
And so I think maybe even in the game sense like or in this fantasy world that Iba existed maybe I would want

1048
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,120
Like the Ellie equivalent to have been the one to get killed

1049
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:19,000
Instead of like the Joel equivalent and for it to be like an Abbey versus Joel kind of deal

1050
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,840
Where it's like the old like war veteran who's done fucked up things

1051
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:29,840
But has finally found happiness in the form of this like surrogate daughter has now been taken away and like I don't know

1052
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:35,160
Mortal Kombat or some stupid shit like that now. It's like he's gonna like raise hell and like lobby the

1053
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,180
The communists to like get steeped in blood and all that fun stuff. Yeah

1054
00:58:40,180 --> 00:58:45,580
And that's where I maybe would like change things and switch it up so that I'm not just straight up playing Abbey

1055
00:58:45,580 --> 00:58:48,940
So, yeah, you know like just switch switch the people around switch the characters

1056
00:58:49,860 --> 00:58:54,060
Switch the back story fundamental stuff. Don't be afraid to like do that. I think it's really fun

1057
00:58:54,780 --> 00:58:56,860
flavor and like background and like

1058
00:58:57,660 --> 00:59:01,900
All that shit the cosmetics and like the building characters like my favorite thing

1059
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:06,820
Well, honestly, I think we've talked extra enough that we can just make this its own episode

1060
00:59:06,820 --> 00:59:10,980
So I think you guys are just gonna get a part two regularly work at an hour again

1061
00:59:10,980 --> 00:59:17,340
So we lied. Thank you all for tuning into another episode of table talk where we walked you through very quickly the martial class again

1062
00:59:17,340 --> 00:59:20,500
If it was a little hard to follow go back and watch the other one part one

1063
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:23,740
Which should already be up by the time you hear this and that'll make a little more sense

1064
00:59:23,740 --> 00:59:37,100
But until then see you guys next time. Bye
