8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Hello players who came up with the name for themselves if they were a superhero when they were eight years old

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and then decided to make it a fully fledged character.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Okay, and DMs who spent $15 on a source book because they refused to write their own.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Do you want to redo that?

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
No, I'm keeping that.

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Okay, you just looked at me in a really judgy way.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
That was intentional.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Welcome back to Table Talk. I'm Maddie.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And I'm Robert.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Welcome to Season 2, our first official episode in Season 2 because we had our little social

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
zero catch up.

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
We're so off track already.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Can you tell?

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Yeah.

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Can you tell?

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So anyways, today we're going to be talking about capes and crooks.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
It's basically the campaign setting is like cyberpunk superheroes.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So it is like 2099 if anybody has played cyberpunk 2099 or read any of the source material.

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
I didn't know it was 2099 like in our world.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Yeah, it's 2099.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Yeah, like it's set very far-ish.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
I guess not super far in the future, but far enough that technology has developed and you can have heroes

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000
that have Iron Man-like suits because that shit's not happening in 2023 or 2024 or five or six or seven.

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
So we got to hit the fucking fast forward button.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
The idea for the campaign kind of just stemmed from a deep love of superheroes and comics in general.

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And I think, I don't know, after I had done World Serpent's End and tied that up, I tried to figure out what my next campaign was going to be.

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
I wanted it to be a little less fantasy heavy.

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
World Serpent's End was kind of all over the place, which you all should go back and listen to the previous episodes about World Serpent's End.

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And you'll kind of go very quickly understand just how chaotic the setting was because there was never a constant setting.

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
It was like we would have three sessions in one setting and then another three in a different one.

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
But fantasy is not my number one go-to.

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Like in terms of places and things that you can play, I think one of the lovely things about TTRPGs is that you can put them anywhere.

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And if I can put them anywhere, why the fuck am I going to put them in Skyrim?

41
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Like, respectfully, I think there's enough-

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
There's so much content in that world.

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I know I also bugged you when we were talking about campaigns and stuff, but I was like, you know, I think we should do a superhero campaign.

44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:59,000
I think that would be super fun because, and I'm sure that around the time this is coming out, I've already fully launched my return to the app.

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The internet?

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Yes, and I did a very big superhero project on there in years past.

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And I really, really loved it and I wanted to kind of like-

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Talk a little bit about New Metro specifically because I think the early conversations I had with you about what that world was like and that you all had created really helped influence how I wanted to roleplay this world.

49
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I think it really helped me, which I'm getting ahead because you still haven't talked about it, but it really helped me get away from the more serious stuff, like this more serious-ish content that I'm used to digesting and play a little bit more player-friendly.

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
We'll call it that way.

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Player-friendly.

52
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
So I am a TikToker.

53
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I was like-

54
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
No longer retired.

55
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
She's out of retirement.

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
No longer retired.

57
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I'm back and making videos again in our basement.

58
00:03:47,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And there were these things, like I was a cosplayer and more than just cosplaying characters that were already out there, I made like a lot of like those like POV videos and like those kind of blended themselves to creating these like original characters.

59
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And we launched something called like a tag and it was like this kind of like storytelling community online, which was very, very similar to D&D and like someone would create a world and then you would create a character in it and then other people could create their own characters in this world and they could interact with different characters.

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And you could collab with people and it was really fun.

61
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
So I-

62
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Mostly on my own, I did like work with a couple other people, but like all of the like grunt work was done by me was this world called New Metro and it was named after-

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
It's a combination of New York City and Metro City from Megamind because I think that name is hilarious.

64
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And it was kind of the concept that I had like had forever ago with some writing of like this very like campy superhero world.

65
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Like this is the world you think of when you think of like classic golden age or technically not golden age.

66
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It'd probably fall a little bit more silver bronze age superheroes in like a Marvel Comics universe.

67
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Just a little less DC because DC could be a little wonky sometimes.

68
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But this very like-

69
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Oh, it's just the classics. It's the tropes. It's the-

70
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
You're trying to make it as a superhero and then also you've got to make it to your fucking high school classes on time.

71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Like that very early Peter Parker vibe.

72
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
And I inserted this character named Nightlight.

73
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And so the whole concept behind her was like this world where it's like grounded in reality, but also still very lighthearted and fun and goofy.

74
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Because that I think is part of the big appeal with comic books and don't get me wrong.

75
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
All the edgy stuff out there is great. Like I enjoy a lot of it.

76
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
But it's kind of nice to go back to the classics of like when you're a kid and you're learning about Spider-Man for the first time.

77
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
You're not learning about like the fucked up Spider-Man parts.

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
You're learning about, oh, this is a cool guy who can shoot webs and webs up bad guys and wears bright colored costumes.

79
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And has like non-consequential issues that he's dealing with.

80
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And it was like that kind of energy and that kind of focus.

81
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
And just like this really, it was a really interactive world and it was so cool collaborating with all these people and creating like a fully fleshed out world.

82
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Where like superheroes were a part of it and were like kind of like local celebrities.

83
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Like a little bit more than local, but like, yeah, you know, you sometimes run into fucking Captain America when you're going to the bodega to get yourself like your fucking sandwich in the morning.

84
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
And yeah, you're going to stop and take a picture with him because it's fucking Captain America.

85
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Like, what does a world look like, like a modern world with our modern views that's still fun and has superheroes in it?

86
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Right. And isn't like mega depressing like DC or kind of overly skiced element like Marvel can be sometimes.

87
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I don't know how many of our listeners, and I guess we can call them watchers now too, are familiar with Marvel and DC and how different they are in style.

88
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Like Marvel in particular in recent ish years, like the, it's like a term called power scaling, like the power scaling of the universe has just gotten insane.

89
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And the consistency and the continuity is, it's very difficult to follow because there's so many different writers and different artists and different storylines.

90
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I mean, that's kind of how comics have always been, but jumping into comics, I think now is harder than it ever has been before because there's such a wealth of content.

91
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Oh, it's it's so many people write the characters differently and the stories are really crazy. But like, for reference, talking about Spider-Man, one of more like the most iconic, in my opinion, the most iconic villain for him being Venom,

92
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:42,000
the current Venom run in Marvel Venom and Eddie Brock have just become a God, like on celestial status. Like that is, it's gotten insane.

93
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Like the power scaling is just fucking nuts.

94
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And it used to be like this is a world of superheroes, like I'm like, I love my comic history and everything and like in the original like Golden Age and everything.

95
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000
It for the most part was grounded in like Earth and grounded in reality, like you had characters like Superman or like all these characters.

96
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I mean, you say grounded in Earth and immediately go to like number one alien.

97
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Let me explain myself a little bit more.

98
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
All of comics.

99
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Let me explain this to my little, the comics aren't taking place in space.

100
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:19,000
That's like literally what I'm saying when I say grounded in Earth is like now there's entire runs of comics that are just like literally take place in other planets and other spaces versus

101
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Invincible is a very good example of a large part of their comic run takes place in different planets and different universes.

102
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And even if you're looking at like the fucking multi version is also just a certain.

103
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Multi version is crazy. Like all of that, like the power scale and like that kind of puts it on par of like you're going from comics used to be about a fucking like a burrow in New York

104
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
in a city block or a city like, oh my God.

105
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
It's like the whole thing.

106
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Why would anybody want to commit a crime in New York City?

107
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Yeah.

108
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
In Marvel comics, like.

109
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000
That's crazy.

110
00:08:48,000 --> 00:09:02,000
You're literally asking to be arrested or sent to another dimension or to have your memory wiped and beat the shit out of like there's no there's no reason why anybody would commit a single crime.

111
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
I wouldn't fucking litter in New York City if I lived in Marvel comics.

112
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
I wouldn't do it.

113
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I'll say my favorite are all of the fucking like tiktoks and memes I've seen about like people.

114
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000
When me when I found an apartment in Gotham City for $200 a month and then it's just the audio.

115
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Yeah, it's just like Joker making threats with a riddler saying he poisoned the fucking water supply like it's all of same shit.

116
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
There's bombs going off. It's fucking insane.

117
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:33,000
And then to shift to DC, they've gotten darker and darker as time has gone because that's their biggest selling point right now is like comics is that Marvel is

118
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Well, more so with the movies and less so with the comics.

119
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Marvel in general is a lot less willing to cross certain lines that DC will for the sake of telling a darker story or a grittier story.

120
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Marvel you can always expect a random asshole of a crazy powerful character that was introduced to two fucking panels ago saves the day.

121
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
It's all great.

122
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Doctor Strange snaps his fingers, Wanda does whatever the fuck she wants to do and then everything goes back to normal.

123
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:15,000
But like in DC comics, there's oftentimes a stronger air of like lasting consequences and like people can do fucked up things and people are allowed to die except for Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman or the flash or anybody in the fucking Justice League.

124
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Like there's still like DC has their golden boys and girls, but the general thought is that they are able to be darker than Marvel is.

125
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And I think an approach that I took with this particular campaign is trying to find a healthy balance between the two.

126
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Something that my this is on the difference between like DC Marvel comics.

127
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,000
My I took a class in high school called history of science fiction and fantasy literature and we did an entire unit on comic books like that was a big chunk of it.

128
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
It was pretty cool.

129
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
It was fucking phenomenal.

130
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:54,000
But one of the things that we talked about in class of like the biggest difference between Marvel and DC and like like an easy way to describe it is DC makes gods and Marvel makes people with God like powers.

131
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And that's like the big difference of like, OK, DC has these ultra powerful characters and their downfall is often they are untouchable.

132
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Like how the and that's why you see like Superman turned evil so many times is because they're like that's just a more interesting concept for people to grasp onto because it's hard for people to grasp onto these characters.

133
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
They're untouchable versus Marvel feels extremely touchable because they're like deeply.

134
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:28,000
So is anything can happen in Marvel comics and the power structure and like the power hierarchy is is anything and anything anything and everything you could possibly want.

135
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Like you can read a story where Spider-Man becomes fucking Cosmic Captain America, whatever the fucking title is, Cosmic Spider-Man.

136
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Yeah, scroll girl or Deadpool or like people that can like look like literally hop in the panels in between pages like the amazing Gwenpool is one of my favorite runs ever where it's like in DC.

137
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:55,000
You have a God and there's not a single person on anybody's roster that can touch that God because the power scaling and like the hierarchy is very defined and set in finite.

138
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
So then kind of to that point, right?

139
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000
That's when you have people that take runs with Superman to the extreme because that's as far.

140
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000
I mean, that's the upper limit is an alien that looks like a human that can then do anything anybody else can do.

141
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Yeah.

142
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Which is interesting like Superman as a character has read so many different stereotypes and so many different takes on the like untouchable like not omniscient.

143
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
That's always one of the downfalls is that he's intelligent, but he doesn't know everything all the time.

144
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Yeah.

145
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:32,000
But like the invincible skin immune to this immune to that ridiculously broken strength like crazy powerfeeds.

146
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Like you have like you mentioned a dark Superman and Justice is a great example.

147
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
I love him.

148
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Red Dawn, which is a DC animated movie with really, really good with Russian.

149
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Well, what is it's Russian Superman, isn't it?

150
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Yeah, basically if he landed in Russia or in the USSR instead of US, SR Superman.

151
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:58,000
You have deceased comics where they do their zombie runs, which is I mean, that's probably about a star because they have more fun with their comic lines.

152
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
I'll give them that do and they have a stronger branding on like the lines that they do like they have deceased and then they have injustice.

153
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
They have flashpoint like there's all sorts of fun stuff you can do.

154
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I mean everything and anything.

155
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Good luck finding something though.

156
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Marvel like picking a Marvel comic to follow or a series to follow is like the equivalent of throwing a fucking dart at a globe.

157
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Like you have zero idea what and who you're getting something like I'm looking for like a light television show to get into and you're like Game of Thrones.

158
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
It's like that's that's a lot.

159
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
At least Game of Thrones has continuity though.

160
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
No, that's true.

161
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Good luck finding continuity.

162
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Marvel is like pick a show on Netflix.

163
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Yeah.

164
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Any show actually.

165
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
You can pick whatever show you want to.

166
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Watch one episode.

167
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Pick a new series.

168
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Watch any episode.

169
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Pick a new series.

170
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Only watch the pilot episodes of all television series streaming on Netflix.

171
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Like the third one.

172
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
You don't get the pilot episode.

173
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You don't get the pilot episode after you've watched episode three, six and nine in that order and then you get the pilot.

174
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Anyways, to wind his back.

175
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Sorry.

176
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
We we oh my god.

177
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I've told the last one train of thought.

178
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
So when I was trying to come up with a new idea for a campaign that I wanted, I always knew that I wanted to do superheroes and then I talked to Madison about it.

179
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
She mentioned new Metro.

180
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I thought that's kind of a cool setting or a way to play it.

181
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:16,000
And I really like the cyberpunk setting that cyber the cyberpunk 2099 or 2077.

182
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I think it's 2077 has to offer and then like the original source book, which I think is cyberpunk 2020, which is crazy to me.

183
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I was just looking at the PDF like it's cyberpunk 2020.

184
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Because you just learned it was a TCRPG.

185
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Yeah, I just learned that it had a source book to the game series on which the game also phenomenal.

186
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
But I like that setting a lot.

187
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I like superheroes and then playing it in a more relaxed fashion.

188
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
I think is kind of where all those interests intertwined.

189
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And then that is when I started looking for source books and came upon capes and crooks, which I've done some Googling.

190
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
I have no idea who it's by.

191
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Wait, I have credits.

192
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
There's credits right on the inside.

193
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I'm just going to say to the lead designer is just because that's going to be easiest.

194
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Lead designers, Justin Hanlon, writers, also Justin Hanlon, Richard Hansren and Alina.

195
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
I'm not going to try and pronounce that last name.

196
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Let me see it.

197
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
It's Alina in it's an R.

198
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
I can't read.

199
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Nevermind.

200
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Anyways, I can't even see the text.

201
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
If there's a team name for them, they did fantastic.

202
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:23,000
But when I was looking up TTRPGs specifically in fifth edition for superheroes, capes and crooks was the most consistent among any of them.

203
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000
You can buy the source book on what a Crit Academy you can also buy it on.

204
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
What was the other thing I was just looking at?

205
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
It's like drive through RPG.com.

206
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
You literally just look it up.

207
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
You'll find it.

208
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
It's only $15.

209
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I did pay for this one because I don't believe in pirating most of the time.

210
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
But it's got a wholly new system.

211
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
It's bound in fifth edition rules.

212
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
So you still have your normal combat and your action economy, your speed, your AC, your hip points, all that fun bullshit.

213
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But everything else is different.

214
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
But every other thing is different.

215
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And that was something I didn't expect once I bought it because I watched a review of it and I looked at some of the preview pages and I was like, oh, this is just like a little tacked on edition.

216
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
A little tacked add-on.

217
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Nope.

218
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
It's a wholly different system.

219
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
There's no spells.

220
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
There are no traditional classes.

221
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
No races.

222
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
No backstories.

223
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
No races.

224
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
No backstories.

225
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
No roles kind of in a different way.

226
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
It's a wholly different system.

227
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
But it's really fun.

228
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000
And I like that it's as different as it is because it's enough removed from fifth edition when you're playing that you're like, wow, we're like superheroes.

229
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
But it's still in fifth edition that I had.

230
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
I didn't have to teach my players how to play a wholly new game outside of learning how the power system worked.

231
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I was like, character creation is truly the most difficult part of this.

232
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Yeah.

233
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Learning how to make characters in this goes crazy, man.

234
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
It was nuts.

235
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But once you figure it out, everything else is pretty simple because it's still 5e.

236
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000
It's just everything is retextured, reskinned, and things are added in as well.

237
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
They still have a lot of just reading descriptions of spells, and they're not called features.

238
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
They're called enhancements in this universe in Capes and Crooks.

239
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
They've basically, some of them have been ported directly over for fifth edition and then given a new like techie name.

240
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Others are wholly new creations to the book.

241
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Both are equally cool.

242
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000
But in terms of story, well, we'll talk a little bit more about the source book and like how the character creation and stuff goes.

243
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:31,000
But a jumping off point for the story, I knew I wanted to do like a Teen Titans-y kind of like, not coming of age campaign,

244
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,000
but like new heroes fighting their way in the world and then becoming a team and then seeing how that kind of dynamic goes.

245
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The running title that I've used for the campaign that I haven't really said at the table because God forbid they ever act as a group is the Sapphire Prodigies.

246
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Because they're all young, they're all new, some kind of more than others, but like new to the group experience, new to being a team.

247
00:17:52,000 --> 00:18:02,000
In this particular universe, it's very unheard of for there to be teams of superheroes because being a superhero is something that's still very kind of taboo to an extent.

248
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And just in recent years in this setting has become a normal thing.

249
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
There was a point where I was trying to decide whether or not I wanted them to have to like earn their hero license.

250
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,000
So like going through exams and then actually having to get like a credential that says like their license to be a hero.

251
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
But I kind of skipped that because I didn't want them to have to go through all that.

252
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,000
So in theory their parents and grandparents went through all the hard work about like earning the reputation of heroes.

253
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:37,000
But yeah, it's a little bit more realistic in some ways than other systems and getting to kind of explore that group dynamic

254
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:44,000
and then hopefully play this out for at least another year, which is going to be our longest, one of our longer campaigns I guess is going to be fun.

255
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
But that was the basis for the story.

256
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
There's a lot of interesting stuff in here about background and I kind of took pieces of it that I liked and pieces of it that I didn't.

257
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000
I've mixed and matched some in-universe history and lore with like campaigns, not campaigns, with video games that I really like.

258
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Web series that I've read, some Marvel stuff, some DC stuff, so it's kind of like an amalgamation of different shit.

259
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
But that's kind of where the story inspirations come from.

260
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Towards the end of the episode or session I guess I should say, we'll talk a little bit more about like the individual characters and sort of how the party has worked itself out.

261
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:28,000
But I think just jumping straight into things, what the character creation is like, if you want to grab one of those sheets and like hold it up and wave it around.

262
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
So we'll put in graphics later.

263
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000
They came with character sheets. I didn't like them. They gave me a headache to look at.

264
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
So I over the past couple months.

265
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,000
They're just very bright colored and a little clustered. They try to fit a lot of things on very small pages.

266
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,000
So I made new character sheets. So I designed them to look like comic book covers because superheroes and comic books.

267
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000
So this is, there's like most of them, I don't know why I'm showing the camera like we're not going to put graphics up.

268
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
So just to hold it up.

269
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Also shout out to the art on the front of these. Madison has done being AI to the max and has come up with some really, really cool character art for all of our heroes.

270
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Which has been really fun to do for this particular campaign because it's so superhero based.

271
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I make comic books that recap each session and I go through and I make character art of like specific moments and kind of mesh them together.

272
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Which is fun for me.

273
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
A lot of fun to watch.

274
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Like this is kind of, it's several pages long because I just wanted the information in like way that we could hold it out and like make it pleasing.

275
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
And then these are all powers which are basically spell slots.

276
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Yep.

277
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
But yeah, do we want to go through?

278
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
I'm going to just literally hit the table of contents.

279
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
So there are, the table of contents is fucking huge.

280
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I'm not going to walk you through everything just going to jump around to some of the more important things to know about the source books.

281
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
So here, six, welcome to Cobalt City.

282
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
So in the book it's called Cobalt City. I changed it to Sapphire just because I don't really like Cobalt all that much.

283
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
And it's Elle's Burstone.

284
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Yep, it's my fiance's Burstone which is where the name really came from.

285
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:17,000
But the concept for the cities in general is that they're basically what are called gym cities that are all around the world.

286
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
The rise of superheroes or I guess super powered beings kind of came at a significant cost.

287
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,000
So right around the turn of the 21st, 22nd century, things started getting kind of crazy.

288
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Basically people started manifesting what are called deviations in the universe.

289
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
And some are positive, some are negative, some are incredibly destructive.

290
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Others are very helpful or minimalistic.

291
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,000
But it didn't just happen to people. These deviations also began to manifest in the wildlife and the sort of the floor and the fauna,

292
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:53,000
which basically very quickly turned the normal human thriving environment into a very hostile planet very quickly.

293
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And there are some deviations that manifested in people that went like catamclistic and we see like the wiping of countries basically off the face of the planet.

294
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Just things go to anarchy very quickly.

295
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Like Mad Max outside of the city.

296
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Yeah, Mad Max outside of the city. At some point I'm sure we'll do a one-shot at seeing and exploring what's out there.

297
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:20,000
But out of that comes the gym cities, which are basically golden cities or golden worlds kind of around the globe that are managed by like what is left of the world government

298
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
and then policed by DRT, which is Deviant Response Team.

299
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:34,000
And the idea behind the gym cities is that they're supposed to be as close to a utopia as you can get for having deviants and non-deviants living in the same place.

300
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
So if you're a Deviant, you can live in a gym city. If you're a non-deviant, you can.

301
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Like food, water, rent, all of that stuff is mostly paid for. Like there's always going to be an option.

302
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
You don't really have to struggle to survive.

303
00:22:48,000 --> 00:23:00,000
So it is, but it isn't. The take that I wanted to put on it was that there's the idea that we could get there, but it's not going to be executed that way because nothing is ever really that good.

304
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:12,000
And it's the same concept with Cyberpunk. Like we imagine ourselves in 2077 and 2099 having technology that, I mean even today, there's enough wealth circulating in the global economy that if we wanted to end world hunger,

305
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000
it would take like a handful of the few billionaires that live in the United States to fix that problem.

306
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:26,000
So the idea is that from the altruistic perspective, the further we get in the future and the better our tech gets, the better the world becomes and like the cooler the cities can be.

307
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
And then it just, in true Cyberpunk style, it doesn't fucking end up that way.

308
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
No.

309
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Not at all.

310
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Why would it? There's still people.

311
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:48,000
There's still a class system, spoken unspoken DRT is corrupt to an extent very authoritarian. The cops basically are hands off anything that is deviant related, which is the majority of the problems that occur in cities like this.

312
00:23:48,000 --> 00:24:01,000
So this one takes place in Sapphire City, which is one of the first cities around the, one of the first gem cities around the world that essentially says vigilante ism is okay, which then comes the term superhero that becomes coined.

313
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000
And then of course the opposite being supervillains.

314
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And so then you have this kind of like human artificially created system where you now have superheroes and supervillains, which are essentially deviant to fall on either side of sort of the moral line.

315
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And more or less, they're defined that way based on how DRT views them.

316
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
So if DRT considers you a villain or a vigilante, that's what you are.

317
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
If they consider you a villain.

318
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:35,000
That's also like a hero. That's also what you are. And the reason why the team thing in this universe is so different is that teams, because being a superhero is very recent and just new to the game being legal.

319
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:41,000
There aren't that many teams to speak of because you're not going to like put yourself and six other people on live television.

320
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
If it's illegal, it's going to be a lot easier to survive as individuals.

321
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000
And so we have one major group in the city before that called the millennial group.

322
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000
It's the only really successful superhero team.

323
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:01,000
And so then we pick up at the beginning of the campaign where we have all of these sort of new heroes or new ish heroes, new to the team thing come together.

324
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
So that's kind of the setting for the world.

325
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,000
On the opposite end of like biological deviations, there are also magical deviations people unlocking like ancient magics that have existed in the world.

326
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:22,000
And then the Doctor Strange is the one does the what the fuck Zatanna like.

327
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And then you also have people that are like Iron Man because you have technology of 2077 2099 where you can make suits like that.

328
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
You also have your Batman's. You have people.

329
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Yeah, yeah. Batman's that are just trainers.

330
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,000
One of the roles in the creation that we'll go over is literally just you train.

331
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000
You're a guy or a girl that trains. You're a you're an it you're a thing and you trained.

332
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Yeah. And you trained really well and you focus on martial arts and you're competing with super powered beings.

333
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000
It is just as ridiculous in this and concept as it is Batman competing with anybody.

334
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And there's also aliens in this that we've not.

335
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Yeah, that I won't I won't touch.

336
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I'm leaving that.

337
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
There's also can I actually aliens that come down during this.

338
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Which is crazy.

339
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
So during it's called like the rise.

340
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:27,000
So during the rise, which is when deviations start popping up in the source book, it says that aliens begin to visit somewhere altruistic than others basically acknowledging that the people of Earth have gotten to a point where they can be acknowledged and like a galactic.

341
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000
I don't know stage.

342
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
I haven't touched that.

343
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:37,000
I don't plan on touching that for like a hot minute because it's enough managing people to people relations and androids and people with the age of

344
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
and like animals that have become people.

345
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Why would I throw aliens into the mix to like I just I'm not I'm not really there yet.

346
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Public opinion is also huge in this.

347
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
It's not a system that I've worked out finitely yet because they don't fucking have one.

348
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
I'm going to talk about some of that when we start talking about the campaign.

349
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Yeah, them as a party.

350
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,000
They don't really have public opinion yet, but more.

351
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Everyone has an individual one, but as a group, you all don't really have one on established individual public opinions are very strong, very strong.

352
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
And basically what that looks like is from a role play perspective.

353
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Some people are going to be more or less willing to work with you based on what your public opinion is in the world.

354
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Yeah.

355
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And the same thing I think happens in any other fantasy based campaign to this just puts a more formal system to it.

356
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yeah, because it's a world where social media does exist.

357
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Social media is still a very big thing. That's the majority of how superheroes and even supervillains promote themselves to the public is through social media.

358
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Because like in true regular fashion, news networks very quickly fall out in the future and it all becomes social media based and social media driven.

359
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
So that's how people promote themselves.

360
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Yeah.

361
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
100%.

362
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Show my favorite aspects of this world.

363
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
I just have to kind of shout that out.

364
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I think it's such a cool way of like making it feel real of like during your downtime.

365
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:06,000
You're like, cool, I'm going to check what my like, what my Instagram followers are up to or like what people maybe maybe somebody saw the actually break into that building and break that guy's leg.

366
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000
I'm going to see if that has affected my like general public status and like if I'm a criminal or not.

367
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Yep.

368
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And then also to have like, and we've started to kind of like roll that in our last session of like, like, hey,

369
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000
What's the perspective?

370
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Why are you associating yourself with the people that you are associating yourself with?

371
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And then other people in that world asking those questions, like, why are you associated on any like in any form or fashion with a person that like the general public considers to be more or less a villain.

372
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Yeah.

373
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:43,000
An anti hero to an extent, but like the level of harm that they bring in the lack of cooperation with like the general police and public makes them label the villain,

374
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
which I think is just really cool from a like role play standpoint.

375
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:54,000
You ask yourself those questions in game because it was something where I didn't even think about I like, I didn't think about why my character was associating with certain different characters.

376
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Because yeah, there are other like people at the table.

377
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
That's why she's associating with it.

378
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
It's the whole reason to have a character in this world be like, hey, this person fundamentally goes against your morals.

379
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Yeah.

380
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Why are you working with them?

381
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Why are you hanging out with them?

382
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
What's up, man?

383
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Why are you putting your name on that?

384
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
And that's good for you.

385
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:18,000
And you're like, oh, I should probably talk to that person and get them to stop breaking people's legs.

386
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Even just having conversations as players and as characters becomes really fun too because then it's not just, oh, we're all working together because it's fun to be superheroes.

387
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
You know, it's like, I'm working with you because I want to mentor you.

388
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
I'm working with you because we ended up on the same case by coincidence.

389
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,000
And now I feel like maybe this is an opportunity to collaborate or become a team.

390
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:45,000
It starts to become very, your party being a party starts to very quickly become grounded in like real legitimate reasons instead of just like we showed up at the same time at the same place.

391
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Yeah.

392
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Which is in fact how the party came together in the first session.

393
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
It was the right time and the right place.

394
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Yeah.

395
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
But they still have not managed to really be a party.

396
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,000
It's just a fun challenge when you have so many different people and so many different heroes that are all very dynamic.

397
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Yeah.

398
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
But dynamic to such an extent that none of them really have solid reasons to want to hang out with each other.

399
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Yeah.

400
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Which, I mean, I think that's going to create some really interesting dynamic with that public opinion thing because some characters care more about public opinion than others.

401
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
My character personally cares a lot about public opinion.

402
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And the last session had a character with a really great public opinion be like, hey, what are you doing, man?

403
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Like,

404
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Yeah, no, 100%.

405
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
You could be doing a lot better and you're choosing to do this.

406
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000
That's a choice.

407
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,000
So going in and going through character creation before we start talking about like the campaign itself.

408
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
So I'm just literally going to go down the line and then Madison, if you just want to talk about what the process was.

409
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Yeah.

410
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
If you just want to pull up yours and we can sort of walk through yours.

411
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
But that's my girl that I play.

412
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,000
So the first step out of nine is choosing an alter ego.

413
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:59,000
So those are backgrounds and traditional and traditional fifth edition and D&D, I think even in Pathfinder 2, they have a similar system with backgrounds.

414
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Where it kind of, it gives you small bonuses and like it's more for a role play thing like the Urchin background and fifth edition gives you something like advantage on checks with like merchants or allows you to be thrifty in certain scenarios.

415
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:22,000
If you pick soldier, it basically means that you have like repertoire with whatever the standing military and the area that you're in is.

416
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:29,000
You can always find like a base to stay at or an armory to have access to that kind of stuff like your background is.

417
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
You can always like find a spot to play in it.

418
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Yeah, like it's average to play.

419
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Yeah.

420
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
So backgrounds are more for flavor than anything.

421
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
But in this, they're also kind of for flavor.

422
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
They're just, they're a lot fewer.

423
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
I've got benefits from it.

424
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
And they do come with benefits 100%.

425
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
So I'm just going to speed run some of the ones in here really quick.

426
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So there's Average Joe where basically you're just a fucking guy.

427
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,000
You're a dude.

428
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,000
You're a man.

429
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000
You're a dude.

430
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
You work a nine to five at a seven, eleven.

431
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Like you're just, you're doing what you can.

432
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,000
And then your proficiencies and your skills are based around basically being able to blend in with the every man.

433
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:12,000
With anybody, whoever, however, normal people will like shelter you as long as it doesn't put them in danger.

434
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Because like you're just a guy.

435
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Like you're one of the, you're one of the people.

436
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
You're just a little dude.

437
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000
It's definitely the most boring out of all the ones on here.

438
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
But you know, to each their own.

439
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
The next one is a businessman, which is exactly what it sounds like.

440
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
You are a businessman.

441
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
You got to read some of the bonuses for these because they're goofy.

442
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Oh yeah.

443
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The bonus for Average Joe is, or I call it the features, common citizen.

444
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
You just have one of those faces.

445
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Since you're average and fit in perfectly with every other non gifted person, you're easily trusted.

446
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
You can easily find a place to rest and recuperate among citizens unless you've shown yourself to be a threat.

447
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Yada, yada, yada, yada.

448
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
So for a businessman, their feature is let's make a deal.

449
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:56,000
One of the largest benefits of being a businessman is understanding the process of businesses and how to work it in in a subtle way to get what you need.

450
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Wherever you're in a place of business, such as a store, a manufacturing plant, office or similar, you can easily convince any lower level worker to allow you to set up a meeting with someone in charge of running the business.

451
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
The other ones include criminal, doctor, doomsday prepper.

452
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Doomsday prepper is crazy.

453
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Yeah.

454
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I just got to put that out there.

455
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,000
It's a curveball.

456
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,000
That's fucking crazy.

457
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
It's a curveball.

458
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Lawyer, reporter, which is days you should talk about in a minute, mechanic, and I think that might be the last one, and scientist, and spy.

459
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Yeah, it's just kind of, they're very general, so it's basically just picking what your day to day profession is outside of being a hero.

460
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Like we have a scientist in our party, we have a doctor, we have an android who doesn't really have a background, but whose background is based in his origin.

461
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
We have a reporter.

462
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Well.

463
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
A reporter.

464
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
I'll talk about that.

465
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
We have a door-dashher.

466
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Yeah, so I came into this with the concept of basically what is a world of which a college student wants to be a superhero, but being a superhero is expensive.

467
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
You've got to be able to get gear and all these things.

468
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Incredibly so.

469
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,000
And you're also trying to balance college classes on top of that.

470
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:19,000
So you start doing like fucking door-dash in your superhero costume because you can get through the city faster.

471
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Or you can, I just wanted to play a college kid, and that was her alter ego.

472
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
So we ended up landing on reporter as that and just kind of re-skinning it.

473
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
So it's kind of a custom one, but we keep most of the features the same.

474
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
If you want to go ahead and read the features out and all of the bonuses that come with it as an example for the listeners.

475
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Yep, so for a reporter, your feature is notable contact, which you still have not really used.

476
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:48,000
You have a short list of reliable and trustworthy contacts who act as your network liaisons.

477
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,000
You know how to get messages to and from your contacts, and for a fee, you can find out a piece of information or something.

478
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
That's pretty fair. I know the most NPCs, so.

479
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
You do know the most NPCs, for sure.

480
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
And you also have the most world knowledge when it comes to people and all that fun stuff.

481
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
You just haven't had to use it.

482
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Yeah.

483
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
So some of them are more useful than others.

484
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:13,000
The notable contact thing is nice, but the other one is like nearby garage for mechanic, which is you can find a garage wherever you are.

485
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000
You can disassemble any equipment you find and then put it back together.

486
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,000
The difference in nearby garage versus notable contact is kind of fucking wild.

487
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Notable contact is like I can send an email to someone and...

488
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Fucking Doomsday Prepper is broken, so the feature is called Jerry Rig.

489
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:41,000
You essentially get to know exactly how to make any tool for any particular job once, at least once.

490
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Yeah.

491
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
So if you're like, I gotta kill Superman, you can figure out...

492
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
How to make that kryptonite bullet.

493
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
How to at least make the gun that'll fire the bullet and maybe even how to make the bullet casing itself.

494
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
It doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna know where to get fucking kryptonite.

495
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Yeah.

496
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
That's something a scientist can figure out, because they're like research and knowledge based, but like...

497
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
The difference between fucking being able to make any gadget for any occasion and then being able to send an email to somebody is very different.

498
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Yeah.

499
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Well, aren't there other things like you get a bonus to...

500
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Yeah, you also have bonuses to other things like skill proficiencies, languages, equipment.

501
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Oh, that's boring.

502
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Yeah.

503
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Again, the background is more to just give you an idea of what you do in your day to day.

504
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Yeah.

505
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
So then after you pick your background, you do...

506
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Or your ultra eagle, I should say, you move on to origin.

507
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And origin is basically how your deviations, how your powers manifest.

508
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
So this is like your race?

509
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Yeah.

510
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
This is...

511
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
It's kind of like your race and then also a little bit of your class as well.

512
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Yeah.

513
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Class.

514
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So the way that they've done it in here, after origin, you pick roll.

515
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000
And roll in origin is basically a mix of race and class.

516
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Yeah.

517
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And they kind of cross over in different ways.

518
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
So again, just to kind of shotgun the ones that we have in here.

519
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:04,000
So for origins, we have Android, Beastman, Experiment, Freak Accidents, Genius, Inherited,

520
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Inhuman, which is our alien, Mutant, just think X-Men, Training, Batman, Undead,

521
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Totally Bucket Wild category to have in here.

522
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
And that's it for our origins.

523
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Yeah.

524
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,000
So for example, Daisy is a freak accident.

525
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,000
The specific freak accident is basically like you're a normal person and something happened

526
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
to you and now you're not normal.

527
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000
And this can manifest a lot of the time in like fucked up body parts and...

528
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Think like Flash in the lab when the lightning hits and all the chemicals go boom and now

529
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
he's got super speed.

530
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
And then Amy Fox falling into a pit of electric eels.

531
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Yeah.

532
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Yeah.

533
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Or Spider-Man being bit by the spider.

534
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
That's what freak accident is in this world.

535
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Daisy specifically was getting hit by a fucking stray bit of magic during a fight that she

536
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
was watching because she was a big superhero fan girl.

537
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000
It was like, I'm going to get so close to this fight and then she got fucking blasted.

538
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
She's a super fan.

539
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
And now she's a superhero.

540
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Blasted.

541
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Started blasted.

542
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000
So since...

543
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,000
We're talking about freak accidents.

544
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,500
So they have traits.

545
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,360
This is where the kind of race stuff comes in.

546
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,360
But the way...

547
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,400
The reason I think it's a little bit classed too is because it really plays into the representation

548
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,320
of how your powers come out.

549
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,620
So yeah, we kind of explain what freak accident is.

550
00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:26,280
So you get an ability score increase.

551
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,560
I'm not going to read all these off for a bit because it's a pay for the source book.

552
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,000
But it determines what your size is, what your speed is.

553
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,480
What's your same pay for the source book like we're like?

554
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,280
What your language is, your innate skills.

555
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,520
And then I'll read this one.

556
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,920
Everyone has a unique feature.

557
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,080
So for freak accident, it's innate power.

558
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,120
You get to choose a first level superpower.

559
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,880
You can activate it whenever you want to.

560
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,840
And it doesn't cost a slot.

561
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:56,480
So that's similar to a lot of the wizards in magic casting classes where you get free

562
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,480
stuff.

563
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,480
It's similar to Warlock.

564
00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,480
Or not Warlock, Jesus Christ.

565
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,320
Teethling, bloodline of whatever.

566
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,880
It's like you get certain free spells a day.

567
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,560
And then just to talk about how different they can be.

568
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,440
So then you have Android where the concept is basically in a cyberpunk world, we definitely

569
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:17,600
have some sort of robot, some things, whether they're like in-home service bots or like

570
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,880
trash bots or murder bots, battle bots.

571
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,040
Like there are robots in some way, shape, and form.

572
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,440
And so a player can choose to play as one of those bots.

573
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,640
We have one of those in our party.

574
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,160
I knew we would end up with one.

575
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,160
There were forged.

576
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,920
We're playing on a table full of men.

577
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,120
Somebody that's familiar with Fifth Edition and how broken the races are.

578
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,080
Go back and listen to our race episode.

579
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,680
We've had a robot at every table that we've had.

580
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:46,080
Warforged are the, in my opinion, single most broken race in all of Fifth Edition.

581
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,080
Prove me wrong.

582
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,080
You fucking can't.

583
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,920
They don't need to eat, breathe, sleep.

584
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,520
They don't have to really long rest ever unless you just want to get your spell slots back.

585
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,520
They don't incur points of exhaustion.

586
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,520
They can't be poisoned.

587
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,080
They can't be affected by most status effects.

588
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,920
They're immune to a laundry list of things.

589
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,440
And they're just as broken in this setting.

590
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Come to find out.

591
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,440
Yeah, it's crazy.

592
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,680
I would love to play like a Warforged spellcaster.

593
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,200
You get to pick.

594
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,440
So one of their unique things is that you have technological integration, which basically

595
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:23,200
gives you proficiency and a new check that is a new ability score, not a new ability

596
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,760
score, Jesus Christ, a new skill that they put in here in lieu of a religion check, which

597
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,560
is technology.

598
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,920
And technology checks are fucking rampant at the table because when you're playing in

599
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,440
a city full of incredibly advanced technology and you're interacting with social media,

600
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,240
tech is a very big focus.

601
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:44,280
There's not a single person at my table in this party that is not at least a little proficient

602
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,640
in some way with technology, with the exception of I think one person who's an old man.

603
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:50,760
So and he's not even that old.

604
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,600
He's just older than everybody else in the party.

605
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,600
He's a little old.

606
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Yeah.

607
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:56,600
Yeah.

608
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,600
Just going to read some of the things here.

609
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,320
You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned and immune to disease.

610
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,720
You don't need to eat, drink or breathe.

611
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:03,900
You don't need to sleep.

612
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:05,960
You can do six hours and that's it.

613
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,040
You have integrated arm and which gives you a plus one bonus to your arm and class off

614
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:16,200
rip and your technology checks, any proficiency you have is double.

615
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,640
Because you're a robot.

616
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,840
You know, you're just walking tech.

617
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:27,200
Beastman, they're what I've called them any powers or any deviance, which is basically

618
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,880
just slaying for animal powered.

619
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,560
The way that I interpret the lore in the source book is that animals can become more

620
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:41,440
human and then that can be a player or an NPC or people in the humans themselves, their

621
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,160
deviation can manifest in the form of animal like traits.

622
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,200
So it can go either way.

623
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,680
And it's kind of hard determining which one it is.

624
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Batman.

625
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,680
Correct.

626
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:53,680
Kind of shit there.

627
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:54,680
But they're fully intelligent either way.

628
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,680
Yeah.

629
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,560
So you basically, for this one, you get to pick like natural armor.

630
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,000
You pick your Beesha origin.

631
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,840
So there are three options on here, natural armor, feline agility, keen senses.

632
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,440
I'm not going to read the description for beta.

633
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,160
You can kind of parse out what those are supposed to be.

634
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,240
You get like additional critical attack dice with brutal melee attacks.

635
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,240
It's fun.

636
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,560
You get to play like an animal creature.

637
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,000
Is there any other one that I want to highlight for me to move on to the next one?

638
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Genius.

639
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,520
I'm not going to tell you what that does.

640
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:23,520
You're a genius.

641
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,000
That's one of the critical thinking skills here, it's exactly what you think it is.

642
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Your intelligence is buffed by a fucking lot.

643
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,120
You're incredibly smart.

644
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,660
Inherited is one of the more magical, or one of the more magical origins on here, which

645
00:42:33,660 --> 00:42:34,760
is Thor.

646
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,480
The image that they included is basically Diet Thor.

647
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,960
The beef I have with Inherited is pretty true.

648
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,680
Europe, two people at our table have Inherited.

649
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:43,680
I know.

650
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,680
I'm aware that's what it comes from.

651
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,920
So Inherited has one of the most broken features of any origin on here.

652
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,280
I'm half-ling shit.

653
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,400
So whenever you roll a 1 on a d20 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you

654
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,160
can re-roll that die and use the new roll.

655
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,200
You want to know what's funny.

656
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,200
There is nothing in the description on here that says that you can only use it up to a

657
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,840
certain amount of times per day.

658
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,560
So this isn't like a lucky point.

659
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,120
This isn't forcing somebody to re-roll.

660
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,120
Right?

661
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,880
This isn't like none of that.

662
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:21,440
This just means that you physically cannot roll natural ones unless you roll another

663
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:26,440
natural one on your second roll because you do have to keep the second roll.

664
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,840
Bucking and saying absolutely bonkers.

665
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:35,720
I will say one of the people who took that, he took it simply because he knows that he

666
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:42,720
has the worst rolls out of anyone at our table and rolls so many not ones that he was like,

667
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,880
I'm going to get ahead of the curve here.

668
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,880
Three people at our table?

669
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,880
No, we have two.

670
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,440
I was thinking of the wrong person.

671
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,440
We have two people in here.

672
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,440
But it's basically Thor.

673
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:56,560
So your powers are bestowed to you by a deity or a force of nature, whatever, whatever the

674
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,200
fuck, that's your power.

675
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:05,280
So that's kind of where it deviates a little bit instead of just being purely technology

676
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,400
based or purely animal based.

677
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,080
It's also like a little bit of magic.

678
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,200
Inhuman, you're an alien, I'm not going to explain that.

679
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,040
Mutant, X-Men, you're basically one of the prettier deviants.

680
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,960
Your powers manifest in a very traditionalist way.

681
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,440
You get to choose an at will power which are basically cantrips.

682
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,160
I'm not going to read it.

683
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,120
Training, you're a Batman or Iron Fist, take your pick.

684
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,080
Undead, I still don't understand why this is a fucking origin but it is.

685
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,200
Basically you died and came back to life.

686
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,200
Jason Todd.

687
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,640
Yep, died and came back to life.

688
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,800
Lazarus Pit.

689
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,480
You have dark vision.

690
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:45,680
You can also take yourself to one hit point from the very beginning of the game instead

691
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:46,680
of going to zero.

692
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,200
You have advantage on all death saving throws, poison, disease, don't need to eat, drink,

693
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,200
or breathe.

694
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,200
So reborn.

695
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,200
Yes, reborn.

696
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,200
Don't need to sleep.

697
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,200
I'll have fun bullshit.

698
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,200
Fuck with reborns.

699
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600
So yeah, that's the base setup.

700
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:03,200
I'm going to skip some of what it has in here and go to rolls because to your god, the

701
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,200
zero advancement table is fucking insane.

702
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,200
Yeah.

703
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,200
So now we have rolls.

704
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,080
So the advancement table real quick also kind of works more like Warlock like you get your

705
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:18,440
powers from like you only get so many and they all are always going to be at a certain

706
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,440
level like you don't get to have like a first and a second as all of them are available.

707
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,640
It's the Warlock table.

708
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:24,640
Spell slots.

709
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Spell slots.

710
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,580
Well, the advancement table itself is a little bit different but what she's referring to

711
00:45:27,580 --> 00:45:30,540
is that instead of, oh, I got ahead of you.

712
00:45:30,540 --> 00:45:31,540
You did.

713
00:45:31,540 --> 00:45:32,540
You got a little bit ahead.

714
00:45:32,540 --> 00:45:37,120
So the mechanics work is that every person, every PC is like a new model.

715
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,120
is a magic user there is no purely marshal or purely magic

716
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,760
everybody has access to all spells all of the time

717
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,240
uh... which makes it kind of more fun in my opinion from a role-play standpoint

718
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:51,200
is it means whatever power you take there's a little bit more liberty in

719
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,440
getting to like rebranded and make it yours it's the same the other way around

720
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,960
if you're like a like a

721
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,480
fucking doctor strange you can also throw fucking hands

722
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,120
yeah you can pick like an ability to pick up a fucking uh... heavy object in

723
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
your environment and then get like proficiency with it and deal double

724
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,800
damage like you can fully customize your character to whatever extent you want

725
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,200
to

726
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,360
uh... because of that it works more like warlock which is what madison is getting

727
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,120
at you only know a certain amount of powers

728
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,760
those power slots the so

729
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,000
though the spell slot level levels up with you as you move

730
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,240
and then you have your at will power which are basically cantrip to balance

731
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:27,520
out the fact that you have

732
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,680
fuck all power slots

733
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,400
uh... for reference

734
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,240
anybody that's familiar with the system

735
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:35,840
at the tenth level you only have

736
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,240
three powers lots

737
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,520
a whopping three

738
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,680
unless unless you take a class or a roller feature that allows you to have

739
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,960
seventy six

740
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,360
mass and then

741
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,600
uh... but that's kind of how the power system works with a little bit more

742
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,520
once we get to the part where it tells you to pick powers but it's it's a

743
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,760
different system

744
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,200
roles this is your class uh... and it's class in a very loose way so the way

745
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,520
that they explain it in the source book which i really appreciate is that

746
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,320
uh... roles are very

747
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,360
flexible

748
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,440
so you can have a

749
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,320
telepath based or at like a telekinetic based brute

750
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,240
or you can have a

751
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:17,000
uh... marshal based

752
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,800
element controller like

753
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,520
uh... it's very open they're not quite a shoehorn it's basically what role are

754
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,320
you gonna take in combat

755
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,720
uh... so it's giving you like a more tropey kind of like kicks on bikes kind of

756
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:29,840
deal were like

757
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,520
what is going to be your position when you are fighting as a team or in the world

758
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,640
you're doing

759
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,360
uh... so there's a brute which is basically just

760
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,800
all of their benefits you get uh...

761
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,320
higher constitution

762
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,320
you get better health

763
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,840
your power building on fires a corner wisdom your proficiencies are basically

764
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,960
bucking everything

765
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,720
saving throws a kick ass

766
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:53,160
uh... and then you get a bunch of fun bonuses to strengthen doing on our

767
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,440
strikes

768
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,520
uh...

769
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,080
another mechanic that's introduced in this is called stamina dice

770
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,120
uh... it's kind of like it's kind of like hit dice but they're more widely

771
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,000
used them you can use them to basically do anything you can spend an icon of the

772
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,880
couple new ones to add you can spend half of them

773
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,520
to bring yourself to use uh... one hit point instead of zero

774
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,800
uh... and until the you can have any more

775
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,680
uh... you can also spend them to regain power slots which that's the one that i'm

776
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,200
pretty sure i came up with because

777
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,360
you know

778
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,040
it's a little fucking silly that you only have three at level ten

779
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,960
and in the at wills are

780
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,440
insane so many of those are fucking nuts though uh... but with that being said

781
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,200
the way that i like to use them in a dice in that sense is that essentially you

782
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,920
can force yourself to go beyond in a very intense moment

783
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,840
uh... as like a bonus action and

784
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,520
uh... roll so many stamina dice and then get x amount of power slots back

785
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,320
the more times you roll to do that the more consequential it is because the

786
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,880
idea is that you're pushing your body harder and harder

787
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,800
to regain those power slots

788
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,160
so the more times you do it in a given day

789
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,680
the higher chance you have of gaining points of exhaustion

790
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,320
uh... so if you're on like your third time going beyond

791
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,640
you have a significantly higher chance of incurring three points of exhaustion

792
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,720
uh... as opposed to doing it the first time where the check is like

793
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,200
five or six

794
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,160
anyways that stamina dice so roles also determine how big your dice are so for

795
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,720
bret they get a d twelve

796
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:21,680
so

797
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,200
uh... if you're rolling

798
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,080
like if you if you have uh... you bring yourself back to life from zero to one

799
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,560
and you take half of like sixty twelve

800
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,560
that's going to be significantly higher than somebody who stamina dice is like a

801
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:34,600
d six

802
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:35,800
six

803
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,920
right because you add that much health

804
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,480
equal to the amount of dice to roll so anyways that's kind of fun

805
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,600
uh... there's a very long list and scan kind of hold it up and hopefully

806
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,400
be able to plug it i don't like

807
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,560
straight up sugar pdf cuz again you have to pay for it but

808
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,920
and you get class features basically

809
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,480
so deadly debris

810
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,760
third level you can pick up any nearby debris and use it as a ranged weapon

811
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,440
and do a shit ton of damage

812
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,120
uh... and dominoes

813
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,600
indomitable level ten you can reroll any saving fail

814
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,040
uh... any saving throw that you fail

815
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,080
uh... you can use that more and more so i'll help yet

816
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,560
uh... especially indomitable well ultimate defense uh... you have

817
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,640
resistance to all damage except psychic damage

818
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,760
which is fucking

819
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,680
bonkers at level that's a third

820
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,600
third level a third level

821
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,880
third level

822
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:23,560
third level

823
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,960
that's not even like while raging that's just always

824
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,560
uh... i think it's something you might have to act that i haven't read all of

825
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,760
this super all the way through is nobody chose pretty pretty much an example

826
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,800
so our other ones are crime fighter

827
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,360
uh...

828
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,840
where it's very i was playing with braces what the fuck was that sorry i'm so

829
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:45,240
i was booze old it's almost two in the morning yeah um... crime fighter sleepy

830
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:49,080
yet anybody that just kind of fights with traditional techie weapons like

831
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,280
think nightwing batman robin those kind of fuckers

832
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,360
uh... but again you could be totally telekinetic and also be crime fighter

833
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,760
which is which is cool

834
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,200
uh... some of their role features are basically being proficient with a lot of

835
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,400
different kinds of weapons their stamina dice are detains instead

836
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,000
they start off with more weapons in their equipment and then you basically

837
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,280
choose like a martial fighting style which is very much based on fighter from

838
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,320
fifth edition

839
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,920
i'm not going to rest of them

840
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,080
uh... you also get well

841
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,680
one of the fucking features is wild by the way at tenth level you get a feature

842
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,080
called psychological warfare were basically yeah somebody it's not a

843
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,200
yeah uh...

844
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,000
you choose somebody in your first any that you can see and then uh... fucked

845
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,320
in mentally with your words

846
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:33,440
if they fail

847
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,160
their frightened of you and you can just keep doing this

848
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,920
this is the feature

849
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,760
i mean once they roll out of it it works like regular fear with they can be

850
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,760
feared by you again but uh... yet but in the office just the idea in my head of

851
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,920
the way that works is just batman where is she over and over

852
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,560
yep

853
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,120
uh... element controller

854
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,120
think average are the last air bender

855
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,840
all of the things revolve around picking an element of focus on or

856
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,200
it's very similar storm but you can be storm you can also be

857
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:02,920
fucking

858
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,560
iroh from avatar you could be a

859
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,400
any of your traditional element controlling things you can do lightning

860
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,720
on that fun shit

861
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:13,200
uh... you get control points so you can spend those to basically so it's a

862
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,200
three-point source of points you can use them to do different things at your

863
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,480
powers like extend the reach or only choose one creature in a room instead of

864
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,440
tend to hit that kind of deal

865
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,000
uh...

866
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,960
and then we have exosuit

867
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,240
iron man

868
00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:31,720
we also had a robot take exosuit so that was fun to try and figure out how

869
00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:33,240
that was going to happen

870
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,120
uh... basically whenever you have your suit on you get a shit ton of bonuses

871
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,400
uh...

872
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,960
enhanced strength by by nature you also get like built in med shots

873
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,840
uh... all sorts of fun bullshit

874
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:51,000
at the twentieth level you basically go berserk and uh... become damn near

875
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,080
unkillable

876
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,480
and get a whole extra action for i think a full minute

877
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,600
all in any time you roll an attack you roll an additional d six

878
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,400
on everything

879
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:03,640
it's nuts

880
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,520
uh... gadget tier thank artifice are not really the rest of it it's exactly

881
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:08,640
what it is

882
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,880
uh... hard cut it next

883
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,400
jumper which we have a jump which is really cool it's all about teleporting

884
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,480
this is one of the more unique roles that they have in here slash classes it's

885
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,500
basically uh... anytime one of their features is like crawler

886
00:53:20,500 --> 00:53:23,400
yeah like night car i think exactly night crawler so what other features is

887
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,120
that huge crush on night crawler that's just a lot of people that a lot of

888
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:27,800
people dead

889
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,480
uh... it was from the superhero squad fighting video game and series which was

890
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,560
a children's what i'll give you cut man

891
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,080
holly shit that theme song which so fucking hard

892
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,520
so what are the really cool features of jumper is surprise teleport which is

893
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,320
basically if you teleport before you attack enemy you have advantage because

894
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,520
there's surprise like a rogue

895
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,120
and like a row

896
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,440
it's really like it's in pieces from different ladies they combine a lot of

897
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,600
different things fourteenth level you get mass teleportation it's the exact

898
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,680
same thing in fifth edition

899
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,080
mass teleportation

900
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,440
bad things can happen

901
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,360
uh... and then void slip which is nuts you basically get to do mass

902
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,280
teleportation whenever you want to

903
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,200
it's also at the twenty-th level so i mean do whatever the fuck you want

904
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,560
and then madison's thing

905
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,000
uh... which is mystic

906
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,520
yes i took this so mad in the book it's like doctor strange or like one day

907
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,200
it's like arcane arts uh... i

908
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,400
took a very different direction and i went what if

909
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,120
it's comic books instead and robert was like

910
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,160
tell me more

911
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,800
okay explain by

912
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,760
uh... and so her individual thing which is kind of like a reskinning of

913
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,480
on that it's not comic books by the way yeah there's an any universe reason

914
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,480
and there's an actual basis for her powers it's still magic but it's not

915
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,440
fucking comic books i didn't let that happen

916
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,000
okay so there was definitely the direction we could have got which was

917
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,960
very like spider hammy cartoon with i have a lot of hate spider ham

918
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:59,720
i was great in spider verse i just the the corny fucking like gwen pulled in

919
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:04,480
between the white pages but shit the fuck up about is not a fan of the corny

920
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,600
shit man i am anyway so uh... mystic is magic

921
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,960
yeah i'll uh... so she ends up mimicking she's able to mimic powers that she

922
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,080
reads about her comic books in the way that a wizard would be able to

923
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,440
like read about a spell in a spell book do it she's like a pair thirty six

924
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:25,080
different spells yeah and that's what she does except it's with other people's

925
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,080
powers because super like comic books exist in this world about these

926
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:29,040
superheroes

927
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,080
uh... if you want to go ahead and read so instead of like studying a spell for

928
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:36,080
reference it would be like her picking up a comic book and then reading it and

929
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,200
like really analyzing and looking at how they do their powers and then being

930
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,920
able to replicate that her own version of it yeah which is a really really

931
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,360
unique and original take on what this could have been

932
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,160
thank you uh... some of the wizard by the way it's

933
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,160
yeah it's it's wizard it's a hundred percent of the the features you don't

934
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,080
really have a lot of features now that i'm looking at it i don't have a lot of

935
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,920
familiar at third level which he absolutely didn't want

936
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,280
uh... you get like a force armor at first level

937
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,920
uh... your at will powers are significantly stronger at sixth level

938
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,520
which is what i will say this about this class feature it gives you

939
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,520
force armor you can take a armor or you can take uh... buckin

940
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,360
powers from other people oh yeah that's you there's a whole bunch of shit that

941
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,520
comes with this uh... but you can it also gives you cure wounds and then

942
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:23,520
something else

943
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:28,280
cure wounds and we're free you get to use them as force armor shield bonus amount

944
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,800
of time today so it's really nice and that it gives you the the things that

945
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,160
you need to take to be a like decent

946
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,520
fighter so you can become the support for your party and then also choose

947
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,400
whatever you want to do for fun which is really nice about that class can be a

948
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,840
wizard also fun fact that the familiar uh... robert and i got into a full

949
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,680
screen fight over the familiar

950
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,280
cuz i

951
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,840
hate familiar as i don't see purpose i also don't connect with animals in real

952
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:52,480
life

953
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,120
like i don't get like i don't get me wrong i don't like the purpose that

954
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,440
people of animals purpose objectively and mechanically is that you

955
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,440
in theory can get advantage

956
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,120
on an infinitely higher number of roles than anybody else in your party because

957
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,600
all you have to do

958
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,840
depending on the day that's it is not

959
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,320
depending on how your dm rolls your conjurer you're familiar if you have

960
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,720
them go on the same turn as you you can just have them

961
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:18,720
run up to you

962
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,160
give you the help action

963
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:21,520
but i think about a bomb

964
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,000
you have buckin advantage

965
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,440
i uh... what i have you can have your familiar to that every night

966
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,720
as to a point robert so that's why you then have to move the cat around like

967
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,920
it's another little mini player that you get to control but that also gets to

968
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,080
take actions like i don't understand what

969
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,120
i where's the disconnect

970
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,160
i don't get a whole nother person

971
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,080
it's not a person it's a cat

972
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:49,400
can take actions like i don't it's it says in this book which we are i i don't

973
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,160
know what's happening with it it can't attack

974
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:56,920
meaning it can't attack is in the fucking book it cannot attack bullshit

975
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,880
i promise you you can okay

976
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:03,600
uh... it is out loud acts independently of you obeys uh... your thing in in

977
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,320
combat it rolls its own initiative that says it can attack the continuum

978
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:12,000
which i think is dumb i'm overruling that it's my world that's stupid anyways

979
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,400
uh... we are like i'm telling you i can

980
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,440
i communicate with your familiar telepathically which is dope you can see

981
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,480
through their eyes

982
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,960
uh... as an action you can dismiss them and then resummon them

983
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,800
all sorts of fun stuff i told robert if you gave me a familiar that it's sole

984
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,120
purpose would to be another target on the battlefield basically a meat shield

985
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,520
she would have me chill

986
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,400
uh... anyway i do have a cat i like my cat

987
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,960
and i'm actually

988
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,160
ideal of the cat i just don't understand his mechanical bonus i do understand

989
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:43,320
that i like having a little guy's mechanical bonus is advantage

990
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,480
i don't know how else to tell you that

991
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,360
okay scenario you're fighting the big bad

992
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,240
it's like if you hit this

993
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,440
it's a guaranteed win or at least it's going to be significantly better for

994
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:55,560
you and your party

995
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,880
you got your little familiar he's been playing support do an object interaction

996
00:58:58,880 --> 00:58:59,720
whatever

997
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,640
in this moment maybe we're gonna sacrifice the cat

998
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,400
we're gonna call it help action

999
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,000
where the cat's gonna physically distract your villain

1000
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,520
in whatever way you see fit that doesn't mean we're actually putting them in

1001
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:10,360
harm's way

1002
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,120
you know how advantage on whatever it is you're gonna do

1003
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:18,280
i want you to suppose to rolling cool i get a good idea one thing before my cat

1004
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,920
with an a c of four in two hit points

1005
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,720
well let's think about this if you deal you are the idea to kill a cat deal forty

1006
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,240
damage to the villain

1007
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,280
in the cat didn't even hurt them

1008
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,960
who do you think the villains going for

1009
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:37,880
the cat no i know you try again i feel like you're gonna go to the cat try again

1010
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,120
who's it gonna hit

1011
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,520
try again

1012
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:41,680
wrong cat

1013
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:47,320
wrong cat wrong no you're wrong you know i love to play strategically in

1014
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,360
combat i'm going after the person that's doing the most damage also think

1015
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,840
you go after what's gonna do the most emotional damage at the very end of the

1016
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,840
fucking fight like i'm gonna leave them alive

1017
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,120
if you can't tell

1018
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,720
my players have a lot of paranoia about the way that i like to play combat

1019
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,040
which is very ruthless because i think it's stupid

1020
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,480
for villains that have spent the whole god damn campaign

1021
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,240
learning about their players to then fuck off and make dumb act i also

1022
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,720
recognize i have a lot of like

1023
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,920
it's just issues with you

1024
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,800
right

1025
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,640
right then better this campaign though you have significantly significantly i

1026
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,640
let somebody live when they died three times in the span of two rounds i know

1027
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:28,680
all

1028
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,080
i'm i'm happy

1029
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,520
it's been going good this campaign but i still have

1030
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,480
i'm getting over my trust issues anyways with him and i have poisoned the rest of

1031
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,080
our table and i encourage you're a psychic you can read people's minds you

1032
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,440
have telepathic push mental barrier you can understand people whatever i don't

1033
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:44,120
care

1034
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,320
shape

1035
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,920
uh... you're a shape shifter dog

1036
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,560
you shape shift you shape shift you get like it's druid

1037
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,360
is ruined

1038
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,320
i don't want to tell you is good

1039
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:59,000
uh... speed sir this is a unique one it's very much like rogues but so i think

1040
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,200
it would cooler

1041
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,320
basically the last but the way that this one works is really neat i think it's

1042
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,880
some monk features the more movement you take in a turn the more damage you

1043
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:07,560
get to do

1044
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,360
other sex your movement speed i went through here in theory

1045
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:15,080
by the time you hit level twenty your movement speed as the speedster can be up

1046
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,720
to five hundred feet a turn

1047
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,520
and the more the more distance you cover in a turn the more damage does you get

1048
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,040
to add to your your final damage

1049
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,960
so it's a whole thing we like a run around the park in like city and like

1050
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,800
the injustice ultimate with the flash were like yeah

1051
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,220
which is sick

1052
01:01:32,220 --> 01:01:37,040
you can't make it's alright as fucking sick man it's alright anyways a lot of

1053
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,520
the powers for that is uh... increasing your movements be doing more damage you

1054
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,520
get bonus on dexterity checks uh... all that fun stuff

1055
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,360
one of your ultimate abilities is basically being able to create a

1056
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:49,760
fucking hurricane

1057
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,080
that does a lot of damage ultimate feature the twenty-level feature for

1058
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,720
mystic is counterspell

1059
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,040
because counterspell doesn't exist in any other way shape or form in this

1060
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,520
universe

1061
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:00,960
and we've went over this

1062
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,160
that makes sense mechanically because how the

1063
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,080
is a fifth level player

1064
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,480
countering anything in this universe when one of those abilities could be

1065
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,120
rockets

1066
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,200
riddle me that

1067
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:16,440
you can't

1068
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:17,640
you cannot

1069
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,560
so we've locked it behind the twentieth level because i'll be down

1070
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,120
and you're gonna stop

1071
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:24,920
one of my three powers

1072
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,960
that it uses a villain

1073
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,440
but you know you exactly each shit

1074
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,760
i think that it should come a little bit sooner than twenty level and maybe

1075
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,840
we'll we'll talk about that in a later date uh... so now that we can take a

1076
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,160
case

1077
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:43,320
maybe now that we've picked an alter ego in an origin and a role we would do a

1078
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,920
billy scores you know how to do that if you've watched the previous episodes in

1079
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,040
season one if you haven't fuck you go listen to them okay working i also love

1080
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,040
you if you're listening

1081
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,800
there's a happy

1082
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:59,720
uh... and then you choose your powers in your skills and stuff i'm not my

1083
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,040
favorite powers and talk about some of your favorite

1084
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:03,280
i'm not a favorite powers

1085
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:04,860
uh... you also have equipment

1086
01:03:04,860 --> 01:03:07,520
yeah on that list of equipment is a tesla can

1087
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,520
yeah that's just there attendee ten lightning damage

1088
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,760
uh... my girl also has gone there's not an ammo count on that by the way no

1089
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,040
uh... you can just

1090
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,880
going real quick so enhancements are kind of like features

1091
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,960
and there's some fun ones out just got the right and i have to read through all

1092
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,400
of them in the book and hence the service out mine

1093
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,280
uh... one called precision which is when you roll uh... attack damage every die

1094
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,840
you roll that the one is treated as to

1095
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,680
uh... which is pretty nice really cool and steadfast resolve you're able to

1096
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,560
push yourself beyond your limit your limits for a moment you can use a

1097
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:44,120
bonus action to uh... increase your proficiency bonus by one for one minute

1098
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,440
really cool when you have features that allow you to have spell slots equal to

1099
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:48,660
your proficiency bonus

1100
01:03:48,660 --> 01:03:51,160
for free crazy that's so nice

1101
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:55,880
raise that gives me when we were at uh... level fifteen it gave me six free

1102
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:56,580
spells

1103
01:03:56,580 --> 01:04:00,240
or six free powers when we were normally only supposed to have three powers

1104
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,020
uh... which is crazy

1105
01:04:02,020 --> 01:04:03,880
uh... then i also got i

1106
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,240
agonizing blast which is really similar to agonizing blast from fucking

1107
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,560
by the end some of them are a bit of the same some of them when you make a

1108
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,120
range power attack at a d four to the damage

1109
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,600
uh... then you also have at wills which are cantrips

1110
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:19,600
uh... my favorite is kinetic blast which is basically elders last

1111
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:20,560
uh...

1112
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:21,960
favorite cantrip

1113
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,680
i'll say that really cool thing that the source book does is with their

1114
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,400
cantrip you can also level up

1115
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:32,120
parking kinetic blast with the same bullshit features that you can with

1116
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,560
elders blast yeah it's great

1117
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,560
uh... but the elit everybody has access to it

1118
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:42,800
yeah anybody can only one who has it though right but in theory every every

1119
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,400
one of yours could have kinetic blast and fuck you if they're even if they're

1120
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,000
all different fucking roles in origins every single one of them bitches can

1121
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:50,640
have their own

1122
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,000
and i'm glad that's

1123
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,560
yet that may do something this is a world we can also break your character

1124
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,960
so easily which is really fun to make you feel like a superhero and that's why

1125
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,680
things get so crazy is they do because how are you gonna feel like a superhero

1126
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:09,640
if like you you aren't super here like if you want shit yeah if your batman

1127
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,240
with no prep time because prep time doesn't exist in this universe yeah

1128
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,880
cool you fight superman you're dead in two seconds yeah you know unless we give

1129
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:17,560
you

1130
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,200
i don't know kinetic blast which does like a shit ton of damage in one turn

1131
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,080
i'm gonna highlight another thing that i think is really cool it takes uh...

1132
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,880
dumb ass cantrips uh... from five e that don't do anything and makes them do

1133
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,400
something i mean is light is an example because my girl's name uh... nightlight

1134
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,400
she goes

1135
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,280
uh... that's just like a little fun little mechanical thing uh...

1136
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,000
uh... so the light can trip is normal uh... it does the

1137
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,000
object a longer than ten feet

1138
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,440
uh... twenty-foot radius dim light blah blah blah

1139
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,240
yep yep uh... and that it's level uh... you can release a burst of light

1140
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,320
between yourself and an attacking enemy

1141
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,120
when you're attacked by creature within thirty feet of you you can use your

1142
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:55,800
reaction to flare bright light

1143
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,160
uh... to impose disadvantage and then at eleventh level

1144
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,520
uh... you can release that light to do that for any creature that you see that

1145
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,800
is attacking an ally within thirty feet of you

1146
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,320
and then at seventeen level

1147
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,040
uh... when you use this power they the target has to succeed on a constitution

1148
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,000
savings or be blinded until the end of its next turn

1149
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,080
that is from the fucking light can trip

1150
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:21,200
that's crazy as cantrips into things that are useful it's super super sick

1151
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:21,800
uh...

1152
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,960
because it's are also ninety nine percent of the things you can do in this game

1153
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,040
cantraps are sorry at willpower's willpower's weapons are also fun uh...

1154
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:34,600
just cuz you get access to like guns and shit in the air i'll go i'll read some

1155
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,720
equipment of the quickest so you all can kind of get that idea so for armor you

1156
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:42,400
have like kevlar threat armor survival car um... them we go up to medium kevlar

1157
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,880
body armor synthetic

1158
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,920
survival suit tactical carbide on uniform

1159
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,960
battle suits uh... bucking the adams suit which is basically uh... fuck you

1160
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,200
eat shit i don't get that i don't take damage

1161
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,400
uh...

1162
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:59,160
or melee weapons batons daggers great clubs hammers uh... sickles fucking

1163
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:00,120
spears

1164
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,000
crossbows pepper spray

1165
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,680
i have pepper spray and i'll have a stall a sling taser

1166
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,400
by the way i also have a taser let me read you really read you what taser does

1167
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,480
because on this lineup it's fucking insane

1168
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,920
taser

1169
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:18,080
low on a hit the target must exceed a dc twelve constitution saving throw or be

1170
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,920
restrained until the end of their next turn yeah it's not the taser

1171
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,840
is a weapon you can have off rip

1172
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,880
a first-level player

1173
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:30,080
can force another creature to make a dc twelve constitution saving throw

1174
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,600
i don't know why i have not used my taser in game

1175
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,440
i don't either from being honest

1176
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,800
fact about my character who is a spell casting character has the most weapons

1177
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:43,720
out of any character in at our table including the fucking battle android so

1178
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:44,400
again

1179
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,120
riddle me this why would i use the mace

1180
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,840
that does one d eight blood or one d six bloodsling damage when i could use the taser

1181
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,920
which does one d four lighting damage and then also gives me

1182
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,200
advantage on them because they will be restrained

1183
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,560
oh it's crazy tasers are tasers

1184
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,000
uh... and then for our like gun guns

1185
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,560
uh... these are called marshal marshal weapons

1186
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,000
uh... sir bigger melee weapons some of them include a flail battle axe great

1187
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,500
sword a lot of traditional fantasy stuff and then like laser daggers laser

1188
01:08:12,500 --> 01:08:13,520
blades

1189
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:17,560
uh... a tesla blade which is basically like a laser blade

1190
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,240
uh... a tesla glove

1191
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,320
uh... warhammer war pick a whip tesla whip that kind of fun stuff they love

1192
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,160
putting tesla in front of anything

1193
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,400
and then you have your bigger like a keky of course and then you have your

1194
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,360
larger uh... marshal ranged weapons

1195
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,640
one of them is it

1196
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,320
fucking chain gun which is a many gun

1197
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,700
cannot wait to sell rifle

1198
01:08:36,700 --> 01:08:39,720
well what's funny to me is on this list we have

1199
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:44,820
chain gun and then right above it is blowgun

1200
01:08:44,820 --> 01:08:47,100
so we have chain gun which does

1201
01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:48,940
three d six piercing damage

1202
01:08:48,940 --> 01:08:52,520
and then you have or sorry three d eight piercing damage and then you have

1203
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,360
blowgun which does one piercing damage

1204
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,080
you know what the benefit of using a blowgun is if you hit somebody with it

1205
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:00,080
in your head in

1206
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,480
you're not revealed

1207
01:09:02,480 --> 01:09:04,640
but you can do one damage

1208
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:11,200
there's not even poison that comes with that

1209
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:15,080
yeah there's a revolver a shotgun sniper rifle

1210
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:20,480
you as a dm right now to explain the scenario in which a blowgun

1211
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:22,240
uh... okay

1212
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,360
you have

1213
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,280
fifteen inches

1214
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:26,480
and they're all using blowguns

1215
01:09:26,480 --> 01:09:29,640
fifteen inches fifteen inches fifteen inches in a warehouse or fifty assassins

1216
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,440
in a warehouse they ambush a group of five players and a huge part of the

1217
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:36,680
issue is now going to be figuring out where fifty points of piercing damage

1218
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,760
is coming from

1219
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:44,480
congratulations you discovered two of them what about the other forty eight

1220
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:48,600
blowgun is only gonna be successful in a setting where you can either throw

1221
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,400
numbers at them or you

1222
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:54,020
dm some shenanigans about what's in the tip of your dart was in a little

1223
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:57,960
talk maybe if you do like a fucking kryptonite yeah like in the tip of this

1224
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,840
blowgun is rather than the dart is poison take three days of poison damage you

1225
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:02,840
know

1226
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:03,640
that's

1227
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,760
yep the uh... that's literally the only other alternative is

1228
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,680
uh... in numbers

1229
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,000
like a goblin ambush you know i'm saying

1230
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,960
right as you can like use it to like a knock an object over

1231
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,440
like

1232
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:18,280
hit a button

1233
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,800
don't worry guys were in the super secret like

1234
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,520
we're sticking to the fucking d r t headquarters we gotta get that door open

1235
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:29,320
yeah i don't know why i got this then you have to take out my fucking straw

1236
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,880
uh...

1237
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,760
was the range on that actually

1238
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,040
tell me the range

1239
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,120
uh... okay under feet

1240
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,080
twenty five two hundred what

1241
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,300
whose breath

1242
01:10:42,300 --> 01:10:47,240
i would like

1243
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:48,280
lungs

1244
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:54,720
for reference the revolver caps out at sixty

1245
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:59,760
uh... i don't know if i should with the blowgun it's crazy

1246
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,320
you could successfully do it by shooting with the blowgun

1247
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,960
and hit the people

1248
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,000
that's a good time

1249
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,800
another thing for equipment is tech and our king items its magical items

1250
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,360
don't give me a huge list is the kind of encouraging to make your own which i

1251
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,660
tend to think i'm pretty good at but

1252
01:11:16,660 --> 01:11:20,200
energy shield you equip it gives you a c based on the rarity

1253
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,320
element gun you can fire an element

1254
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:23,360
uh...

1255
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,780
fucking this one's wild deviant shackles

1256
01:11:25,780 --> 01:11:28,480
uh... have a little bit of a campaign yet but let me just

1257
01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:30,120
me tell you what they do

1258
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,800
uh... you and any creature you share the passcode with can use an action to

1259
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,080
basically turn the shackles on and off

1260
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:41,360
uh... any creature from tiny two large can be used or can be bound

1261
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,520
uh... you can also it says that like you can make the magical or not magical

1262
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,760
the fun part is the checks to come with it

1263
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:52,920
a successful d twenty dc twenty hackers tool check can open shackles or

1264
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,080
a dc thirty athletics check and break free

1265
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,360
those of the only two options it gives you

1266
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:00,880
uh...

1267
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,940
that's you can place them on any incapacitated creature

1268
01:12:03,940 --> 01:12:07,080
and then they're basically permanently incapacitated

1269
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,220
the way i know and the opening line is these manacles suppressed deviant powers

1270
01:12:11,220 --> 01:12:14,400
so if i slap a couple of shackles on somebody who i've knocked out with let's

1271
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,720
say upload art

1272
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,520
uh... congratulations you don't have access to powers

1273
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,200
the way i would cut off my arms

1274
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,960
is that not fitting

1275
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,160
so the joke there

1276
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:27,840
we ended up going

1277
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:32,560
all down our own uh... flashlights in my mind and uh... my character got her

1278
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,560
already got off

1279
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:36,920
yeah

1280
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:40,120
she'll drown spy transmogrifier roba the wizard

1281
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:41,640
robo the lost madjai

1282
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,240
it's a little bit of a

1283
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,720
i have to say this about the source book and i kind of love it

1284
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:51,280
is sometimes when it's just plugging things in from five e it keeps the language

1285
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,360
of like really magical things

1286
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:54,440
because the

1287
01:12:54,440 --> 01:12:55,440
verbatim

1288
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:58,880
like verbatim i don't know what i don't know how to pronounce it

1289
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,640
but i'm gonna show you the word

1290
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:02,440
augury

1291
01:13:02,440 --> 01:13:07,440
yeah so that is just ripped straight in and so it's like cool you use dragon bones

1292
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:09,440
to tell the future

1293
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:10,340
you're using

1294
01:13:10,340 --> 01:13:12,120
description to tell the future

1295
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:16,680
in this setting and i who are we robbing in the setting to get dragon bones

1296
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:17,520
i

1297
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,280
dragons exist in this world canonically

1298
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,800
this implies that dragons exist correct

1299
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,920
part of the description is that like the reason that people have access to

1300
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,240
magic when their deviations occur

1301
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:29,280
are like

1302
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,280
fucking manifest out of nowhere which in the source book it also says you could

1303
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,400
be born with deviations are you could wake up as an eighty five year old and

1304
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:36,200
just have them

1305
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,360
now you can fucking launch newt's new fingertips

1306
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,200
it's fun with that

1307
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:46,640
uh... anyways as a toddler just with the power to which is why in the source

1308
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,000
book it talks about everything went to shit because there are a lot of people

1309
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,360
very quickly realized that like

1310
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:56,880
i can do anything anything i want to in there wasn't a damn group of people that

1311
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:57,600
could stop

1312
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,080
and so they said let's suppress this entire group

1313
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,480
yeah that's pretty much it as far as character creation goes mean you have

1314
01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:07,320
spells and powers and um...

1315
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,080
uh... you have your enhancements i guess one thing i want to say my favorite

1316
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,640
power real quick one thing to do powers

1317
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:17,000
uh... yeah pick a favor for a quick and then we're gonna do signature powers

1318
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,240
which is one of the core things in spoke

1319
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,080
i think you know what my favorite powers

1320
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,280
uh... if i do i would suggest you pick a different one

1321
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:25,560
or i'm just gonna i'm gonna

1322
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,440
go straight to signature powers

1323
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:31,280
is this an at willpower no okay

1324
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:34,160
the what is it is the one i use all the concussion beam uncle concussion

1325
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,560
me i thought you were gonna say kinetic blast is going to be a little sad that

1326
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,800
you can catch and be more of a fucking time

1327
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:40,680
so first of all another great thing

1328
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:46,000
uh... this is a power this is a bonus action so you get to also like do

1329
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,600
an action on top of this

1330
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,480
which is another really cool thing so concussion beam

1331
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:54,280
uh... has a range of a hundred and twenty feet you or a gadget releases a laser

1332
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,480
that streaks towards a creature of your choice

1333
01:14:56,480 --> 01:14:59,680
range power attack on hit they take forty six damage

1334
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,920
and the next attack role made against this target before the end of your next

1335
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:04,040
turn has a vantage

1336
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,960
thanks to the subtle concussion left from the impact on the target and then

1337
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,080
this raises with each so currently we're playing uh... at

1338
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,360
i'm playing at level five

1339
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:16,560
and i am doing uh... sixty six plus one d four radiant damage

1340
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:23,640
uh... at the fifth levels and said at the fifth level and i'm concussing people

1341
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,800
a subtle concussion brain david love the phrase subtle concussion i love that

1342
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,720
it's called concussion beam that shit is so funny

1343
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:33,340
but again

1344
01:15:33,340 --> 01:15:35,880
anybody of any class can take that

1345
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,320
uh... also anybody of any class can take buckin web shot

1346
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,280
yeah exactly what you think that is

1347
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:41,960
any

1348
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,240
the class can take

1349
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,640
telekinetic push and pull

1350
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,040
we had a buckin in our one shot which will talk about eventually and we can

1351
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,080
talk to it last time but like we'll go in depth like a full uh... breakdown is

1352
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,520
that was just insanity such a good or robot

1353
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,880
uh... picked a power that allowed him to hop dimensions

1354
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,760
he took blink

1355
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,200
that it's called phasing in this but he a blade rise in the m should have looked

1356
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:10,280
over everyone's list and in and like you know i'm in canon universe reasons on

1357
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:11,640
how they could happen

1358
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,880
send the moment the only thing i had to say was damn i guess d r t is come up

1359
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,960
with some pretty cool technology in this time jump

1360
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:18,720
yeah

1361
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:19,560
cuz he was like

1362
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,800
and i guess you gotta find a way to counter magic was he said i go into the

1363
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,000
ether and we went

1364
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,160
home

1365
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,720
he said sorry the

1366
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,800
anyway the ethereal and we're like

1367
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,600
the ethereal

1368
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:35,680
you're a robot you can take elongation is an android

1369
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,240
that makes it like

1370
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,880
like robot extend the arms

1371
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:43,720
you can take ground freeze

1372
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,600
as a fucking telekinetic

1373
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:47,880
tell me that works

1374
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:48,800
you can't

1375
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,280
because it doesn't you make people think that the ground is frozen correct

1376
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,520
that is exactly where i would take that

1377
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,400
you know it's like that bucket hypnotist thing when they do the shows and it's

1378
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,520
like you can no longer move your arms in a certain direction and i don't

1379
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,120
know i wish it i can

1380
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:03,400
yes that bullshit

1381
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,640
i have it so easy when it comes to like fitting my powers because i just go to

1382
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,160
robert and go hey who's a superhero in this world with this power cool it's

1383
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:11,440
mine now

1384
01:17:11,440 --> 01:17:14,560
i just get to come up with new people all the time ago this is who it's based off

1385
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:15,280
of

1386
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:16,720
and i was that

1387
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,400
uh... beyond enhancements

1388
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,520
you're having way too much of that bracelet i'm

1389
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,560
beyond enhancements are you have

1390
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,360
what are called signature powers

1391
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,960
uh... which are basically so you have your can trips about contingency your

1392
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,200
at will powers you have your spells

1393
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,440
your powers and then you have something entirely different which is signature

1394
01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:41,440
powers

1395
01:17:41,440 --> 01:17:44,520
so the way signature powers work is that they do not count towards your total

1396
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:45,560
powers known

1397
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:49,480
they can only be used once per long rest and they don't require any power slot

1398
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:52,000
to be used

1399
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:52,880
think of

1400
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,880
all of your basically i want to say

1401
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,720
fifth level spells and above are all

1402
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,280
your signature powers

1403
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:02,320
and again

1404
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:03,520
any class

1405
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,920
or any role any origin can take any signature

1406
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,800
uh... i'm i'm a hit you with a couple just so you can understand how absurd this

1407
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,480
concept of a minute

1408
01:18:13,480 --> 01:18:15,080
uh... big bang

1409
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,880
signature power instantaneous one action

1410
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,480
you send cosmic negative energy coursing the any creature you can see

1411
01:18:21,480 --> 01:18:23,880
and then they have to make a concept if they fail that

1412
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,800
they take eighty eight plus forty necrotic damage

1413
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:32,080
uh... if they're killed they become fucking fungus

1414
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,720
anybody can take that

1415
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,800
so the next one on the list is black hole

1416
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,840
it is exactly what you think it is

1417
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:46,120
you create a black sphere of negative energy from your hands weapon or gadget

1418
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,440
that ripples out in a sixty-foot radius fear

1419
01:18:48,440 --> 01:18:51,040
sixty-foot radius in a whole fucking big that is

1420
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,760
uh... from a point within any range you can see which is a hundred and fifty feet

1421
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,240
each creature that area makes a con saving throw

1422
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,440
if they fail they take twelve d six necrotic damage

1423
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:04,320
you can take that as a speedster

1424
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,160
you can create black holes at the tip of your fingers because you run so god damn

1425
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,880
fast multiple people at our table to black hole i pretty sure almost everyone

1426
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,160
at our table had black holes signature power uh... huh

1427
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,560
which was in craigslist you get the contingency once i talk about a few more

1428
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:22,160
because i mean this is really where the absurdness of this universe comes in

1429
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,400
and i'm not fine

1430
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,560
uh... you punch someone

1431
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,120
uh... if they have a hundred and fifty hit points are lower

1432
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:31,920
not a hundred

1433
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,200
hundred fifty hundred fifty hit point lower

1434
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,160
uh... fucking global invulnerability

1435
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,080
which is the same nuts

1436
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,160
uh... yeah but anybody can take it

1437
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:47,040
yeah i had eleven level anybody can have that

1438
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,920
basically nobody can fucking hit you in a ten foot sphere

1439
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,600
nobody at all

1440
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:57,280
that matter what power they use black hole can't do it big bang can't do it

1441
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,800
stupefying stun can do it you are fucking invulnerable

1442
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,680
and that's here

1443
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,520
you can take that eleven level is that uh... fucking again

1444
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:10,660
i love speedster because the idea that is nuts the flash just starts using

1445
01:20:10,660 --> 01:20:14,560
is just suddenly you're unable to hit them because they're moving so fast

1446
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:15,960
like it's bullshit

1447
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,640
feeble mines you turn somebody into a rock

1448
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,800
people mind is crazy on a failed saving throw they take five d six psychic

1449
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,800
damage which doesn't sound like a lot but check this

1450
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:32,680
the creatures intelligence and charisma scores both become

1451
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:37,720
this creature can't activate powers use gear understand any languages or

1452
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,880
communicate in any intelligible way

1453
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,960
the creature can however identify his friends and follow them and protect them

1454
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:46,240
if possible

1455
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:50,120
uh... we had a character who started going around casting people mind on like

1456
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:54,320
now people along if you had to guess how long would you think

1457
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:57,880
how often do you think you could make a saving throw to like this i know the

1458
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:01,600
spell i want to say it's one of the days

1459
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,400
higher

1460
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,720
higher

1461
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,920
but jesus we went from ten to a hundred

1462
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,400
the only two numbers

1463
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,680
uh... thirty days

1464
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:17,120
so at the end of every thirty days this creature can

1465
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,160
repeat its saving throw if it succeeds

1466
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,680
it ends it can also be amended by

1467
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,400
greater restoration or heal

1468
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:29,960
it does not say it ends in their immune to it for another thirty days it just

1469
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:31,200
says it ends

1470
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,920
so if i just want to be that guy i can just

1471
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,400
follow this person around in their day-to-day life and every time they

1472
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,520
magically roll out of it once a fucking month

1473
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:42,880
congratulations

1474
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:44,560

fucking nuts rattles things around the seas is anything else i want to talk

1483
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,920

1484
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:13,720
bullshit

1485
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,520
uh... mind blank

1486
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,000
you just get to wipe somebody's mind for twenty four hours completely of all

information yeah

1488
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,060

prismatic surge is basically i love prismatic it's chaos bolt but on

1490
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,920
steroids to the nth degree

1491
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:34,480
uh... is just a shit ton of damage of a random a couple of random uh... damage

1492
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:35,880
types

1493
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,200
all of them reverse gravity

1494
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,560
fifty-foot radius aqua reverse underfoot cylinder

1495
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,400
zero gravity if they fail their dexterity saving throws to grab on to an

1496
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,800
object

1497
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,640
uh... sonic lab

have fun with that uh... sonic clap using a device beller or a clapping

1499
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,300
powerful hands together

1501
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,760
each creature that can hear you

1502
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:02,680

neck and fucking here you

1505
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,800
take a guess on what time you can use this on what action

1506
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,600
but action bonus action

1507
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,120
hundred twenty feet bonus action

1508
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,780
on a failed saving throw

1509
01:23:19,780 --> 01:23:20,920
you hear this

1510
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,160
hundred twenty feet you hear it you're not even in the room but you hear it

1511
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,280
anyways

1512
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,560
if you are fifty hit points are lower you are deaf and for a minute if you are

1513
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:29,720
forty or lower

1514
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,520
you are deaf and and blinded for ten minutes

1515
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,320
uh... fewer thirty points if you are you are blinded

1516
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:36,160
deaf and

1517
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:37,320
stunned

1518
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:38,480
for a fucking

1519
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:39,280
our

1520
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,880
uh... and if you are twenty hit points are lower

1521
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,620
dead you are killed

1522
01:23:43,620 --> 01:23:48,360
instantaneously regardless of its current hit points a creature

1523
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,520
not of the material realm is forced back to its realm of origin if it isn't

1524
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:53,680
there already

1525
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,540
i cannot return to the plane for twenty four hours by any means

1526
01:23:57,540 --> 01:24:01,240
it's crazy about using that in a city and there's like a building

1527
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,720
nearby it's not let's think of the average hit points of a civilian yeah

1528
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,000
probably taking tenor below

1529
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,280
you walk into a fucking building and hit him with

1530
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,960
sonic clap congratulations everybody within a hundred twenty feet of you

1531
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:19,400
has just been murdered

1532
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,640
it's fucking insane man

1533
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,640
absolutely insane that needs to not be allowed

1534
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:31,280
uh... he said it because we're always fighting like near people my god

1535
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,640
fucking there's a timer mine in here there's regenerate which basically says

1536
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,360
you touch somebody if they die

1537
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:40,560
they come back with five d eight hit points

1538
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,920
mind-blank and i talked about that going to what contingency does which can be

1539
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,760
used with any of these powers at least i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

1540
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:48,880
on signature powers

1541
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,280
but i basically did it to be regenerate myself

1542
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,280
uh... contingency is my favorite

1543
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,760
you can choose any non-signature power that has an activation of one time and

1544
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:02,680
then can target you uh... you basically create a contingency plan you go fucking

1545
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:03,680
batman mode

1546
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:04,760
uh... and

1547
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,880
you expect the power slots for this but the thing is this lasts for ten days

1548
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:13,360
uh... so what you do is you cast it and then you do a long rest and then you get

1549
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,400
those power slots back but you still have that contingency effect in place

1550
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:21,080
so basically whenever your contingency thing happens uh...

1551
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:25,040
that power goes off immediately so you describe the circumstance when you use

1552
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,880
them so basically you say contingency so whenever water breathing so it works the

1553
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,120
same way as preparing an action does in fifth edition

1554
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,920
yeah so basically but i can say that lasts for ten days

1555
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:38,280
so the one i used uh... was when i go down to zero hit points

1556
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,520
i'm going to cast cure wounds on myself

1557
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,680
and i'm going to fucking bounce up

1558
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,920
and i was giving myself five d eight plus five health so if i went down i was

1559
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,680
just coming back up to basically at the time full health for me because i was a

1560
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:51,320
fucking

1561
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,120
uh... uh...

1562
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,720
it takes effect immediately after the circumstances met for the first time

1563
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:58,880
and then it ends

1564
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,800
uh... you can only use it on yourself though but

1565
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,640
it's insane because you use those power slots before

1566
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,640
the spell takes place

1567
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:11,160
yeah i can prep myself to go into a fight and be like cool i'm giving myself two

1568
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:11,840
lives

1569
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,120
essentially

1570
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,880
or any other broken bullshit alternatively i go down to zero cool i'm casting

1571
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,680
whatever like my highest damage dealing spell is and i'm taking everyone down

1572
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,200
with me

1573
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:24,480
i love it

1574
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:27,840
some of our signature powers are a little more broken than others

1575
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,000
i love it

1576
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:30,680
i mean

1577
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,400
one of them which is kind of silly when you compare to any of the other ones i

1578
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,400
just mentioned is ambrose disem dart

1579
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,080
i mean it's still like ninety dollars

1580
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,600
ambrose dim dart uh... yeah you hit something that's willing

1581
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:46,200
and uh... they get ninety hit points back immediately

1582
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,320
it ends blindness deafness any disease affecting them

1583
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,440
it has no effects on constructs are undead

1584
01:26:52,440 --> 01:26:53,600
so

1585
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,760
uh... bucket we're losing this fight were level eleven

1586
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,720
merry christmas your ninety hit points yeah that's

1587
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,680
that's fucking insane by the way this isn't like they

1588
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:08,080
the it is as regain ninety hit points so skies limit on that to someone like a

1589
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,760
character has a hundred twenty hit points in their ten

1590
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,840
it's not just like they're at ninety they get ninety more hit points

1591
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,200
and

1592
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:17,240
goes crazy

1593
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:22,760
yeah so it was those are signature powers is can talk about enhancements uh...

1594
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,840
enhancements again any class can take any enhancement

1595
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,080
which is really cool

1596
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,920
some give you just bonuses to wisdom saving throws

1597
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,160
uh... others like add

1598
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,760
pluses to your an arm strikes there are some that allow you to gain more

1599
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,600
powers from different classes

1600
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,840
uh... some allow you to integrate weapons like into your body using cybernetic

1601
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,080
enhancements

1602
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,440
uh... like it's really cool they really they basically took features and then

1603
01:27:46,440 --> 01:27:50,120
made them relevant because you can stack them in really fun cool ways

1604
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:53,000
like one of the miss chill body you have resistance all cold damage any

1605
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,040
creature that touches you takes five

1606
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,800
uh... takes damage equal to your proficiency and also has to make a

1607
01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,280
consaving throw

1608
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,440
uh... all sorts of fun shit

1609
01:28:01,440 --> 01:28:03,800
is one of the mechanic than i haven't mentioned yet and then we'll talk more

1610
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:07,120
campaign stuff before i wrap up the episode which is called heroic moments

1611
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,760
it's another one of the unique mechanics of introduced

1612
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,240
uh...

1613
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,120
the way that it suggests doing it is that your car

1614
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:17,640
yeah that your players essentially get to vote at the end of each session

1615
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,400
uh... which i don't do it this way but your players get to vote on the end of

1616
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:21,480
each session

1617
01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:26,560
uh... who deserves a heroic moment so heroic moments are basically

1618
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:30,960
uh... did your characters do something that is heroic is it

1619
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:35,360
making us like a self-sacrificing decision is it just like really on top of

1620
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,040
damage did they

1621
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,840
uh... lead in a really cool point that they come up with a really successful

1622
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:41,000
strategy

1623
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,880
and then at the end of your session you know okay who gets the heroic moment

1624
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:47,080
and then your team can sort of like your players can elect who gets it it's like

1625
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:50,160
a bardic inspiration and then you get a bardic inspo that you can use on any

1626
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:51,440
role you want

1627
01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:53,960
and then you can store them depending on your proficiency level but

1628
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,000
it's really fun

1629
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,240
the way that i do it is uh... a little less limiting i will hand them out myself

1630
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:01,760
or i will let the table like make a request in the moment to give somebody

1631
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:03,640
a heroic moment as well because

1632
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,320
i don't know i feel like you can get more than one in a day you can only store

1633
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,760
one but you can

1634
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,760
i'm not gonna like

1635
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:11,360
everybody in the party

1636
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:15,360
does some really heroic shit in a given session or i eat a day i'm not gonna cap

1637
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,120
it to one person

1638
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,800
like just because this person was heroic doesn't mean that person isn't

1639
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:20,960
either so

1640
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,280
it's just like another fun hero thing

1641
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:27,280
um... be a bit of a courageous good behavior does that's pretty much everything

1642
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,240
we have to cover mechanically in the source book without getting into somewhere

1643
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,920
like super specifics it again all the mechanics of the same in terms of size

1644
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:38,080
movements be at hit points all that fun jazz

1645
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,680
i love it truly i think it's a great companion source book a great little

1646
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:45,960
addition to fifth edition so you don't have to learn a whole new system i mean

1647
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,760
you do with the way the powers work but once you understand how powers work

1648
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,120
uh... like if you've ever just played a fucking warlock

1649
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:54,960
yeah you're good you're good

1650
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,200
and if you haven't played a warlock you should check out uh... our table talk

1651
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:00,800
episode in season one

1652
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,560
bro we're on camera you can't do that i have to do that

1653
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,280
it's a requirement it's a biological function for those who are listening uh...

1654
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:12,360
robert keeps the trash can underneath the table so he gets spit into it i have

1655
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,920
permanent nasal drainage

1656
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:19,560
it's on my medical file it's in my history

1657
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,000
i have to spit

1658
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,760
it can't basically all of the fun mucus he bullshit that you all get in your

1659
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:25,680
nose

1660
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:28,240
and that then drips down or you blow out

1661
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:31,640
it goes down the back of my fucking throat

1662
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:32,440
i've not

1663
01:30:32,440 --> 01:30:33,680
constantly

1664
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:35,880
it never goes away

1665
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:37,000
so um...

1666
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,240
each shit respectfully i'm gonna spend on camera because i would rather not have

1667
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,440
a glob of mucus sitting in the back of my throat then

1668
01:30:43,440 --> 01:30:45,480
uh... talk and feel miserable cell

1669
01:30:45,480 --> 01:30:47,280
fair enough

1670
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,080
i don't know what i was talking about

1671
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:50,160
um...

1672
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,200
basically it's the same as playing a warlock

1673
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,880
oh yeah if you haven't listen if you have a kind of like before listen to our

1674
01:30:55,880 --> 01:31:00,560
episode in season one where we talk about classes and uh...

1675
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,640
and do a breakdown of them you can learn how play warlock fair

1676
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:08,160
yeah pretty much so to end today's session uh... i'm gonna talk a little bit

1677
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,600
about how i decided to set up my campaign based in the capes and crooks

1678
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:15,120
system and then we'll also show uh... some of the fun stuff that madison has

1679
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:19,240
made for our players the table and even some of my mpcs

1680
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:22,200
i've told you a bit about the world and sort of the universe that we're playing

1681
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:22,720
in

1682
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,600
it's grounded and all that nothing and none of that has changed i'm not just

1683
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,360
like gaslighting you

1684
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,520
so it follows

1685
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:32,320
right

1686
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,880
not crazy five

1687
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:39,160
we have to count every time like we don't play with together every saturday

1688
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:40,280
falls five

1689
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:44,400
heroes in the loosest terms possible so we have nightlight who's like a twenty one

1690
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:45,400
year old

1691
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,080
up-and-coming spider man you kind of character

1692
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,840
uh... finding her place in the world that we have uh... the shadow who is

1693
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,680
basically batman but a lot more brutal

1694
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:59,120
was somehow and actually has powers so he's not fucking useless

1695
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:03,240
uh... you've you've heard what nightlights powers are the shadows is

1696
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:04,440
or the shadow

1697
01:32:04,440 --> 01:32:07,320
is his powers are i don't know how to fucking say that

1698
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,520
basically the opposite of nightlight in some ways where everything it hers is

1699
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:13,120
like in a light generated everything is

1700
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:15,520
everything he has i'm having a stroke

1701
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:17,720
uh... everything he has

1702
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:22,840
his head right man space in shadow powers and everything is branded to be like

1703
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:25,000
using the darkness which

1704
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,560
fun fact basically means that he's only useful for half of the day

1705
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:33,200
uh... but he gets buffs when he's in the dark so all of his powers are amped up

1706
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,760
and he doesn't really fun stuff

1707
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:40,040
he's also a telekinetic so that's the the role that he chose which means all

1708
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,040
most of his damages psychic

1709
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:43,280
so he's

1710
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,720
really leaning into like this scarecrow fear toxin type of batman where it's

1711
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,280
like it's psychological warfare but like

1712
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:54,000
literal yeah i'm in your i'm in your fucking brain

1713
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,560
that man meets venom meets scarecrow

1714
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,600
yeah and then add like telekinesis to that

1715
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,520
it's it's crazy it's a really cool fun mix but he's the character

1716
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,000
who has like a really bad reputation

1717
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:10,520
it's like in a world where every deviant who calls himself a superhero is

1718
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:13,840
responsible for maintaining the reputation of superheroes because it is a

1719
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,600
very new and still highly criticized thing

1720
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,360
he is the black sheep that goes out in like

1721
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,600
breaks people's legs in

1722
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:26,520
literally traumatizes them to deal physical damage to them

1723
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:30,440
uh... and does a lot of really fucked up batman fear-based things that basically

1724
01:33:30,440 --> 01:33:32,000
get villains in check

1725
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,040
so he's he's a hero

1726
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:37,360
uh... but the public doesn't necessarily view him like one

1727
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,080
uh... dislike a lot of the public in dc comics doesn't view batman is one

1728
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,320
he's a vigilante who breaks it in

1729
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,360
racks up the bills when his batmobile goes through a building

1730
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:49,600
you know i'm saying like it's the same level of okay you're not a fucking hero

1731
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:52,520
but you can put on the costume anyways like what do you mean now you're just

1732
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:55,960
beating up a poor person that's not yet that's not fixing the like infrastructure

1733
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:57,440
got them yes

1734
01:33:57,440 --> 01:34:00,280
so his background is that he's a little bit older he's like thirty nine he's

1735
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,760
forty he's uh... somewhere in that age range we never really narrowed it down

1736
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:07,640
he's the most experienced hero out of all the people in our setting

1737
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:11,840
he's been around the block for a while and he kinda it takes on

1738
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:15,320
in a way a mentorship role within the group just having the most experience

1739
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:16,680
and it's kind of like

1740
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:18,760
this disgruntled batman

1741
01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:22,200
who never wanted a robin in the first place but then suddenly ends up with

1742
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:23,840
like four of them

1743
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,520
uh... doesn't know how to interact with any of them because he's been a solo

1744
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:31,280
hero his entire career also think of like the robins didn't find him he looked

1745
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:34,120
at them and was like

1746
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:38,480
mine but then also didn't also didn't want the robins and then also didn't tell

1747
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:42,000
the robin so it's just like we're like in a group and he's like what are you

1748
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:46,000
doing and we're like it's just fucking go to the stories like

1749
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,200
okay

1750
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:48,120
it's like

1751
01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:50,960
a fox somebody up if they look at you though but also don't talk to me did i

1752
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:55,440
get adopted without me knowing that you adopted me and then you also didn't tell

1753
01:34:55,440 --> 01:35:00,200
me that you're not but you also didn't want to adopt me yeah what's up man

1754
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:04,280
is a conflicted character really fun care it's a bit like that batman but

1755
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:08,080
absolutely hates robins but also can't not help but bring them in

1756
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:12,840
uh... so that's him and then we have uh... volt who's a really fun character

1757
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:17,000
uh... if you listen to previous episodes volt is the one that fucks up the

1758
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,040
campaign in a mighty way

1759
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,920
uh... i'm not gonna put that on the player is i still fully believe that

1760
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,320
that was the character

1761
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,120
basically makes a lot of really poor decisions go listen to previous

1762
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:27,960
episodes where i break some of the

1763
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,320
some of the worst moments we've had at the table down

1764
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:31,920
his was a long one

1765
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:33,920
uh... yeah i was threw up

1766
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:37,760
uh... in that session where things got so bad that i had to do a full hard

1767
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:42,640
reset uh... in our little one-shot fixing the timeline

1768
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:43,880
in concept

1769
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:48,680
he's like a sea lister so he's like the same level of experience at the

1770
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:52,480
shadow has he's a little bit younger he's like in his early thirties late

1771
01:35:52,480 --> 01:35:53,440
twenties

1772
01:35:53,440 --> 01:35:56,840
uh... and is like a slightly more popular hero who works in

1773
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,560
uh... uptown he doesn't work in the eastern fringes like the outside of the

1774
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:03,400
the outskirts of the gym city in sapphire city

1775
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,520
uh... he like works with more

1776
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,600
positive like

1777
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,480
uh... nice in neatly wrapped cases and is very pretty on the outside like where's

1778
01:36:12,480 --> 01:36:16,600
a white and gold suit blue and gold suit were in the middle of a change

1779
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:17,680
uh...

1780
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:21,920
and is like a speedster kind of and uses lightning powers and teleport

1781
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,240
as a character is just kind of fucking crazy

1782
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:28,440
and as a character like his powers is just as nuts as you think somebody who

1783
01:36:28,440 --> 01:36:31,860
teleports constantly is right like that you think about what that person's

1784
01:36:31,860 --> 01:36:36,000
mental state is that's exactly who he is he is like a mad scientist with the

1785
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,040
ability to teleport

1786
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,840
all in use lightning in a city full of technology

1787
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:45,080
and with that comes a deep understanding of how technology works so again when i

1788
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:48,720
tell you we have a very tech based group it's really a minute based

1789
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:49,560
um...

1790
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:53,680
and he also works for d r t which is like the f b i in also the standing

1791
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,200
military for gem cities

1792
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:59,760
which is just kind of like a fun undercover kind of conflict of interesting

1793
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,040
uh... our other hero

1794
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,620
loosely call him that because he's not really a hero yet

1795
01:37:04,620 --> 01:37:05,780
as uh...

1796
01:37:05,780 --> 01:37:07,240
sabastion

1797
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,240
we call him by his first name because he is like an eighteen-year-old boy who

1798
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,600
does not want to be a hero but is going to be because that is the campaign that

1799
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:14,540
we are playing in

1800
01:37:14,540 --> 01:37:18,280
he just got a superhero suit and just picked his name

1801
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:21,080
which is cause a which means wind in japanese

1802
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:26,200
uh... his father is his panic deeply so and his mother

1803
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:30,560
is asian only because he wanted the character to be

1804
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,040
asian in some respects because he has a deep love for japanese culture is also

1805
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:36,720
bendage of an it's not like an appropriation thing um... is an

1806
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:42,280
archaeologist yeah so he he loves all of that but uh... his power so he picked

1807
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:45,320
element controller for his uh... role

1808
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:46,400
and

1809
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:47,960
not his role his origin

1810
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:49,960
uh... i don't know what the bucket role was

1811
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:53,760
and i'll get a little i'm getting things mixed up in our main elemental person

1812
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,920
yeah he's the element controller role that's the role that he picked

1813
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:01,360
uh... so he wields the wind if you couldn't pick that up by cause a

1814
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:05,920
uh... japanese wind he uses uh... he's also kind of a one of our more miscalculated

1815
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:07,120
characters so

1816
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:08,920
volt is very

1817
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:12,240
and kind of rides the line between mystical and like material his powers

1818
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,880
are also the inherited background so he was gifted

1819
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:17,280
powers of

1820
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,520
uh... immense basically electrical lightning powers i haven't talked about

1821
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,760
it or exported in the campaign so i don't want to say it for a madison but

1822
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:24,520
he's cool

1823
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,560
is inherited also the person who plays that character listens

1824
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,520
yeah in the person who plays i don't like out of that stuff is there people

1825
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,120
that also listening campaign that are part of the campaign that don't know

1826
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:35,240
what his origin is i'm believe that them

1827
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:36,520
uh...

1828
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,600
but sebastian slash causes one of the more mystical characters because instead

1829
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:43,840
of just like wielding the wind we branded it as like he talks to

1830
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,920
wind spirits and then sort of communicates with them and uses them to

1831
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:50,440
pull off what his powers are so it's not just

1832
01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:52,880
i can wield the wind it's i can

1833
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,040
talk and communicate with like this natural force that only i am able to

1834
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:58,080
speak to

1835
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:02,280
uh... which is a really cool spin on the traditional element controller

1836
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:06,240
uh... like take and way that we see a portrayed a lot of universes

1837
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,480
he cares about family first and foremost is family runs a shop in the shittiest

1838
01:39:09,480 --> 01:39:10,520
part of town

1839
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:14,520
so that's kind of where a lot of the reluctancy to become a hero comes from

1840
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:19,160
uh... his father is also like the number two ranked hero in the entire city

1841
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:22,080
and is like known for being a mega asshole

1842
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,440
so he doesn't live with his father anymore he lives with his aunt who runs

1843
01:39:25,440 --> 01:39:28,480
the mechanic shop so he's also got the mechanic background

1844
01:39:28,480 --> 01:39:31,600
that's kind of like the unwilling here with a lot of potential figuring it

1845
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:32,800
out as they go

1846
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:34,040
uh...

1847
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:38,280
it's very like i don't want to be a hero because that puts my family at risk

1848
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:41,280
and i'm friends with a lot of gangs and criminals in the area because that's how

1849
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:42,560
i survive

1850
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,840
literally told his father last session

1851
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,920
go easy on the gangs dad

1852
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,280
and his father is the number two hero in the entire city

1853
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:52,000
and also an asshole goes

1854
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,320
their gang sebastian which is like

1855
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:59,800
that i hate i like i'm not team inferno but like

1856
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:04,320
yeah is a fair point he goes now the gangs are alright his his best friend

1857
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:05,480
ricky

1858
01:40:05,480 --> 01:40:07,320
ricky sanchez

1859
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,120
ricky

1860
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:14,200
has shot has created many people his own criminal empire

1861
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:17,880
and we've watched doesn't want to drugs pulled a gun on nightlight

1862
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:22,240
pull the gun on me immediately on our first official killer the campaign at

1863
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:26,920
like multiple kills he just kind of uses guns like he teleports behind people

1864
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,520
and then shoots them he's on like a fucked up coke in every upper you can

1865
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,040
imagine as well as some uh... plot

1866
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:36,520
and he's a best best friend he's like yeah but

1867
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:40,320
is the idea is that like sebastian living in a really shitty part of town

1868
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,600
uh... like makes friends with the people that you have to make friends with to

1869
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:47,360
survive so that ricky is one of those people that like protects the shop

1870
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,560
uh... make sure that like the gains that he's associated with don't like run

1871
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:52,880
protection money and all that kind of fun stuff

1872
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:54,420
uh... so that's a passion

1873
01:40:54,420 --> 01:40:55,480
political character

1874
01:40:55,480 --> 01:40:59,800
my my friends also from the same part of town which is wild to imagine yeah but

1875
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:03,360
yours is like i'm a bro college student looking for an affordable place sebastian

1876
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:04,680
is like

1877
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,380
i i i i've been more or less grew up there

1878
01:41:07,380 --> 01:41:10,360
yeah so it's a little bit different in that way but it does not to take away

1879
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:14,080
from like where she is it's just kind of different background uh... so we have

1880
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:19,520
vaults we have sparsians as cause a we have nightlight yeah i mean i also get

1881
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,760
i a little bit more of a description for night like that and talk about what

1882
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:26,000
had chip and then you can finish yours and will close out with your character

1883
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,440
uh... they have chip who's our android the one that i alluded to earlier being

1884
01:41:29,440 --> 01:41:31,000
fucking broken

1885
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,120
so the role that he took is

1886
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:35,240
exosuit

1887
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,200
which is where i had to do a lot of thinking

1888
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:43,120
what is an exosuit look like to a robot is it just a bigger robot

1889
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,600
that you can step into is the littler robot

1890
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:51,160
like is it i wish i was going to style mecca like what are we what are we doing

1891
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,280
gone with just a bigger robot just a bigger robot

1892
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,680
now i picked fucking nanobots uh... because a lot of the technology at

1893
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:01,920
references in the source book is nano technology because we're in twenty ninety

1894
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:04,440
nine and that's a thing that we have so his

1895
01:42:04,440 --> 01:42:08,160
uh... suit that he dons and off is basically

1896
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:10,360
uh... a really advanced

1897
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:14,600
uh... technological fucking we've a nanobots it's like i'd be an armor from

1898
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:15,640
in game

1899
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:16,800
if you can

1900
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:19,200
if you know what that is or can imagine what that is

1901
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,800
yeah if you've ever heard of this like little and everybody watch marvel

1902
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:24,960
movies that's all i'm saying

1903
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,560
not everybody does i understand that but everyone knows in game

1904
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,480
not everybody

1905
01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:33,240
look up shout out to any of you that are listening or watching that have not

1906
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:36,720
watched in game madison looks like a fucking fool right now i just learned

1907
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:38,360
that it would never mind

1908
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,120
i already talked about that

1909
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:41,480
where i was like is so

1910
01:42:41,480 --> 01:42:46,480
chips origin is probably one of my favorites so he is uh... the way that

1911
01:42:46,480 --> 01:42:47,800
we start off with him

1912
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:52,680
is that he is this really experimental under uh... like under wraps

1913
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:57,960
uh... robot that is combat unit that is essentially being designed by d r t

1914
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,840
uh... to be able to adapt to any deviation within the city

1915
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:05,840
uh... if anyone's familiar with comics you'll very quickly pick up on this is

1916
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:07,440
basically the sentinels

1917
01:43:07,440 --> 01:43:09,440
from axman

1918
01:43:09,440 --> 01:43:13,200
brats that are eventually become so advanced that they can respond in

1919
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:17,920
overcome and adapt any deviation or any power that they

1920
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:20,600
come face to face with and that's where

1921
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:25,000
comes in so uh... he basically is the first prototype first of his kind

1922
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,760
is on basically a shipment to be destroyed so that nobody can get a hold

1923
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:32,000
of the technology and so that they can continue to make more prototypes without

1924
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,040
like leaving the dirty laundry around

1925
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,320
uh... and then that's shipping it's fucking yoinked it gets robbed

1926
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,480
uh... because they have to go to the shipping dock which is a hop skip and

1927
01:43:40,480 --> 01:43:43,400
jump away from the eastern fringes where a lot of our fun criminal gangs like to

1928
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:44,280
hang out

1929
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:45,360
uh... so

1930
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:47,040
they get spucking robbed

1931
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:48,560
it gets robbed hard

1932
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:53,120
and i got any of the grandfather who's uh... fucking jersey gangster

1933
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:57,400
half-man half-shark that always is smoking a fucking cigar

1934
01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:02,560
robs the shipment for guns and ends up with a fun little surprise called chip

1935
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:07,160
uh... they managed to turn on somehow by fucking with them enough and then he

1936
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:10,880
basically gets booted is a newborn and instead of being this like programmed

1937
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:14,320
murder bought because they fucked something up in him like bucket c three

1938
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:18,400
p o to job is just as he's basically just see three p o but like just turned

1939
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:19,240
on

1940
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:23,160
so instead of having like this murder personality he's just a guy

1941
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,360
he's a little baby that don't know nothing

1942
01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:28,920
he follows orders with anybody ask him to do something

1943
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:32,640
uh... and is basically raised by a bunch of criminals like the movie chappy

1944
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,360
he just gets raised by a bunch of fucking gangsters and that's his

1945
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,720
socialization

1946
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:41,000
uh... and then we literally pick up with him in her first session where he's

1947
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,240
bodyguarding for cod father is all of our other heroes break in coincidentally

1948
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:47,480
at the same time

1949
01:44:47,480 --> 01:44:49,320
in the car for the warehouse

1950
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:52,360
and then he defects because he basically is fucking kidnapped i was

1951
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:56,000
rereading my session one notes and the first interaction that nightlight ever

1952
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:59,800
had with chip was when she was trying to de-escalate is during punching people

1953
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:01,840
and is she's like hey

1954
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:03,640
maybe we calm down

1955
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:08,680
and uh... she gets fucking dog piled by multiple people and he goes i've got

1956
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:10,680
this and picks up just goes

1957
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:15,240
high little one and she goes no and kicks him and runs and that was the

1958
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:19,520
first interaction yes chips chips cute chips uh...

1959
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:23,520
the sort of the night eva tate to the campaign uh... which is kind of fun to

1960
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,680
watch and explore is it's like getting to mold this little

1961
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,680
not little actually he um...

1962
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:33,400
is the strongest character i would say in the party off of

1963
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:38,120
all i mean dot dot even marshaly this the powers he has to like he has a

1964
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:42,240
ridiculous amount of broken range debilities uh... just the origin he

1965
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:45,360
picked in the role he picked in the way he's built his powers

1966
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:50,080
he is fucking stacked uh... his health is double anybody else is in the party

1967
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:52,480
he can do as much damage as anybody else can

1968
01:45:52,480 --> 01:45:56,320
uh... he's got shield which can buff is a c two like twenty one started with a

twenty in constitution started twenty one

1970
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:03,120
like he has a busted character which is what you would think would happen when

1971
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,520
you have a robot that's partially made from nano technology yeah he can do

1972
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:08,360
anything

1973
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:12,080
so you know fingers crossed a party can turn into a good person

1974
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,560
which is kind of what's happening he's got a friend couple digga man who i

1975
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:15,960
haven't given a name

1976

1981
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,880
she doesn't have a lot of ties to sapphire city in the way that the other

1982
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:40,200
characters to her families from another city

1983
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:44,000
she ends up uh... kind of basically moving to sapphire diamond city

1984
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,920
uh... yes

1985
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,480

1986
01:46:49,480 --> 01:46:52,480
i'm not diamond city it is

1987
01:46:52,480 --> 01:46:54,280

1988
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:55,040
there you go

1989
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:58,960
uh... and she kind of moves it's kind of sad looking back she kind of like

1990

1993
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,680
building her own little like

1994
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:10,840
she she's like

1995
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,120
oh yeah i've been like a superhero like five or six years now she's been

1996
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:15,800
rescuing cats from trees

1997
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:19,320
big on social media really big on social media she went by really couple times

1998
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,120
mostly because she's just like

1999
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:24,280
no she's just fucking

2000
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,040
like in the same way the redneck rap was like

2001
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:30,400
going viral with all of her interviews of she's just like

2002
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,800
there's no professionalism there very distinct personality to yeah she's very

2003
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,520
like bubbly peppy uh...

2004
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,360
and like loves what she does and so nightlight has her uh...

2005
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:43,560
her little comic bookie powers and she's just so fucking happy to be there

2006
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:47,440
yeah like the the hero in the campaign that wants to be a hero and enjoys being

2007
01:47:47,440 --> 01:47:51,240
a hero and tries to make everyone else be here oh it is like yeah there's good

2008
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:52,360
in everyone

2009
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:54,400
i don't care if you have a gun to my head

2010
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:58,000
i know there's good in you kind of vibe uh... and then

2011
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,440
she has uh... like her couple fun i'd say

2012
01:48:01,440 --> 01:48:04,520
i may be spun the bracelets for when she made friendship bracelets for every

2013
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:05,600
character

2014
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:08,040
uh... that she meets

2015
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:09,040
pretty much

2016
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,560
yeah which are what these are so if you want to talk about the the three

2017
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:16,560
characters the nbc's that you've got bracelet sure i'll hit three mpc's

2018
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:19,200
i'll also have mine so this is my blackout bracelet oh

2019
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:23,680
i'm going to wrap things blackout uh... she has a secret identity

2020
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,640
along with her other secret identity called blackout who's like an edgier

2021
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:27,640
persona

2022
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:29,840
uh... that she uses for like recon stuff

2023
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:33,200
being another fun character facts so one thing that i didn't mention about the

2024
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:37,320
shadow in terms of why his origin is is interesting is that his father is the

2025
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:38,920
mayor of the city

2026
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,440
and his younger brother is one of the most popular heroes in the city

2027
01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:46,160
and they don't like each other if you can

2028
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:47,600
surmise

2029
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:49,200
you know parse that one out

2030
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:55,040
uh... like he's dark and brody has like black hair a beard he's a doctor

2031
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:57,960
he just hates life but he's doing what he's got to do because that's kind of

2032
01:48:57,960 --> 01:48:59,240
what he sees his role as

2033
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:01,920
and then you have uh...

2034
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:02,960
jury

2035
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:05,720
who is like is brazil lawn hair

2036
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:11,040
this is me i can blue-eyed clean shaven like works out all the time in his

2037
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:15,200
powers are like super cookie cutter it's basically he can fly he can go really

2038
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:18,640
fast and he can punch people hard and he's like durable

2039
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:20,440
even though that's never been proven

2040
01:49:20,440 --> 01:49:21,240
uh...

2041
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:25,720
he like has daddy's money using like the mayor's money and basically putting

2042
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:30,080
out comics of himself he has a super heavy personal p r team

2043
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:34,720
uh... he's known all over the city he's not even that experienced of a hero

2044
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:38,240
uh... but everyone knows who he is and everyone also knows who the shadow is so

2045
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:40,640
like the contradiction between the two is kind of funny

2046
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:43,720
uh... the other thing which is also funny is that the shadow is objectively a

2047
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:45,440
much better person than juries

2048
01:49:45,440 --> 01:49:46,960
oh yeah juries like

2049
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,080
frat boy douchebag in it for the fame in the fun

2050
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:51,720
and the booze in the women

2051
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:55,640
but also like being a hero is cool sometimes to yeah and then shadow is

2052
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:58,080
like now like i'm genuinely in it to help people i just

2053
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:00,400
think that i have to break people's legs to help them

2054
01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:01,520
yeah it's

2055
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:06,160
very very fun dynamic to play with uh... yeah they just recently got into a

2056
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:09,600
combat encounter slash session with one another and the tension is palpable for

2057
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:10,400
sure yeah

2058
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:12,880
is one of my favorite mpcs though jerry hundred percent

2059
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:15,200
uh... and then we have parker

2060
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:17,560
who it comes from new metro

2061
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:20,440
is a bit of an origin story to that uh... which i don't think we have time to get

2062
01:50:20,440 --> 01:50:21,360
into but we will

2063
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:25,280
next time we talk about the campaign basically best friends with nightlight

2064
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:30,120
uh... is kind of like a z not nightlight with daisy is like a hero hater

2065
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:33,920
kinda narcissistic in the way that some people like batman with the whole

2066
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:37,440
contingency thing of like there's no one that has powers that isn't gonna go a

2067
01:50:37,440 --> 01:50:39,240
little wrong at some point

2068
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,000
uh... it's the whole like

2069
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:42,920
power corrupts absolutely

2070
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:46,360
uh... and like he he sees any understands that there are people out

2071
01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:49,080
there that are doing good with their deviations and with their powers but at

2072
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:50,200
the end of the day

2073
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:53,600
there's a greater risk of them going sideways

2074
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:55,360
then there is of them doing good

2075
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:59,160
uh... and that's kind of where the fun like dynamic comes between

2076
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:00,080
daisy

2077
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:03,960
daisy is a superhero lover in is a literal superhero that is actively

2078
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,440
hiding her identity from parker

2079
01:51:06,440 --> 01:51:11,080
parker doesn't like superheroes and he's like his version of justice is like

2080
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:14,680
community involvement in the actively volunteers it like soup kitchens in

2081
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:16,080
homeless shelters and

2082
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:18,000
does advocacy stuff

2083
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,400
so he's like

2084
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:24,120
kinda harvey dent and uh... the batman begin movie uh... where it's like he's

2085
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:27,080
the the right way he's the way it should go

2086
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:32,240
uh... and what she's like to do you read the june about this cool new superhero

2087
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,080
she's so awesome he's like uh... huh

2088
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:36,160
okay so

2089
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:39,040
vigilante small terrorist

2090
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:42,920
it's not like it's it's that's and that's the right is like it's like she's

2091
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:44,040
like

2092
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:45,400
well okay

2093
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:46,320
that's fine

2094
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,440
those are strong words

2095
01:51:48,440 --> 01:51:50,280
this is bracelet is that he's got a green

2096
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:53,960
i have this one which is uh... daisy and parker friendship bracelet so it

2097
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:58,600
cute and then we have uh... more who's probably one of my favorite mpcs

2098
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:00,040
alongside jury

2099
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:04,600
uh... more is the inspiration for his character comes from a book series that

2100
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,000
ever actually

2101
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,920
uh... this something i should know before we finish this episode when i talk

2102
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:13,040
about origins and uh... inspiration a huge inspiration for this campaign

2103
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,880
especially locations in some of the mpcs

2104
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,440
uh... comes from a book series online

2105
01:52:18,440 --> 01:52:22,440
uh... called the heroes rise trilogy from getting that correct

2106
01:52:22,440 --> 01:52:26,360
uh... the guy that wrote the books and preachers name is zackery levy or zack

2107
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:27,560
louis something like that

2108
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:29,240
that really is an actor

2109
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:32,400
uh... idea i know that he's got a very similar name

2110
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:36,760
anyways guys awesome hero uh... basically they're they're like little uh...

2111
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:38,000
a o three flip books

2112
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:42,360
kinda they're like choice games i didn't know i was playing dn d and then i found

2113
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:44,320
out i was for multiple years

2114
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,040
read the whole series it's super fun you get to make your own hero

2115
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,440
a lot of locations named locations

2116
01:52:49,440 --> 01:52:52,880
in sapphire city uh... come directly from that universe

2117
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:55,760
jury comes directly from that universe morphe comes directly from that

2118
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,040
universe he's the protagonist of

2119
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,000
the second series in this universe

2120
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,960
uh... but his power set is basically

2121
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,440
he is one of uh...

2122
01:53:06,440 --> 01:53:08,880
one of the many animal powered heroes

2123
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:10,520
the deviance i guess i should say

2124
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:12,480
in sapphire city around the globe

2125
01:53:12,480 --> 01:53:15,680
and they face a lot of discrimination because they oftentimes have the

2126
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,000
uglier power set

2127
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,720
like jury who is

2128
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,400
clean cut he looks like a normal guy he's traditionally attractive his powers

2129
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:24,800
are fun in very like pc

2130
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:28,480
uh... is looked upon very differently than somebody who has like

2131
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:33,760
a elephant trunk for a face and is disfigured because of the scales growing

2132
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:35,480
under their fingernails

2133
01:53:35,480 --> 01:53:38,200
uh... like those are the people that get often the most mistreatment in the

2134
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:38,960
city

2135
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,640
uh... and morphe is basically like

2136
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:45,600
the epitome of all of those things that could be

2137
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:46,880
like really good

2138
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:50,880
uh... so he basically wakes up every day with a new set of powers that are

2139
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:52,920
directly linked to animals

2140
01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:56,120
some days his face is that of like a lion or cheetah

2141
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:58,360
other days it's like a fucking doberman

2142
01:53:58,360 --> 01:53:59,840
next day could be a chicken

2143
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:03,280
uh... and he can essentially turn any part of his body into

2144
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:06,440
whatever kind of an animal party wants it to be in so he's an incredibly

2145
01:54:06,440 --> 01:54:09,600
versatile and potentially really powerful hero

2146
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:12,240
uh... but he's kind of in the same situation with nightlight worries like

2147
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:14,200
up and coming he's kind of on the

2148
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:17,560
like lower than spider-man level and is just trying to find a way to make a

2149
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,440
difference in his community in the eastern fringes helping

2150
01:54:20,440 --> 01:54:22,720
uh... the enemy the the any powers

2151
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:25,840
uh... and so kind of his role in the campaign at this point in the city at

2152
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:30,080
large is to be like a really positive role model in a really positive image

2153
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:31,000
for

2154
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,000
uh... any powers across the city

2155
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,800
and is also a really good friend of nightlight at this point as they've met

2156
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:37,200
uh... doing like a

2157
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:39,360
kind of off the wall mission it somewhere

2158
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,680
lost in the timeline in the campaign

2159
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:46,440
i'll say those three got bracelets because they are three of uh... night

2160
01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:47,600

2175
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:34,200
pre-established superhero system for fifth edition

2176
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:38,320
uh... it is incredibly moldable and is really easy to customize me

2177
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,760
you've heard a lot of the changes that i've made to it bringing in different

2178
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:42,680
