I can understand why they would put these spells under evocation, but transmutation? That's absolute nonsense. What is being transformed?

Arguably, if it is dark enough that you can’t see the ground, then you can’t even cast it in the first place!

By 3HP OMG!! Never more true than now that every damage, no matter how small, adds up and can make a difference. Mel's militia for the win 😅.

Eventually the Rhubarb Barbarian goes into a Rage.

Thank you for making the effort to film those recaps! It lets me watch this series as if it were a hop-on-hop-off bus whenever I don't have the time to watch an episode completely.

i love dnd ... hate 5e so far, why do the players pick a class and then a focus at a higher level? so much magic removed, and Psionic's is a Focus role for some jobs for the most part ... also why does it feel like the same rules as the red box set from the 70's/80's ...

Rob! You need to make your own D&D rule book and spells! It would be cool to see what you can conjure up! But also I know it would take a ton of time to do 😢

I played a game once where we were asked to enchant some bracers and we wanted sending but asked for message. I'm sure the DM will know what we meant tho, right? RIGHT!?

What?!?!?!?!

Action surge on an Eldritch knight. Have fun figuring out what actions just happened :)

the forced grin at the end 😆

Yeah, I ain't got nothing to say on this one chief. They fucked up

Im glad I finally decided to sink in my teeth into these next. I needed something new to watch and I'm already hooked 😂❤

Cuz sending is like transmitting, hence transmutation..... again..please ignore me ..never played D&D in my life

Ha, that's good! Maybe we should make cure wounds illusion and fireball abjuration? Oh, and Maximilian's Earthen Grasp? Necromancy for sure, which is why I'll never use it. Necromancy. Not even once. 😂

Everyone in the comments saying "constitution is about how much pain you can take" are incorrect. Constitution is about how likely you are to catch a cold if i sneeze directly into your mouth. How you handle pain is actually a mental trait. Google (and try!) Ice Cube Contractions if you want to train up that stat

If Rob keeps yelling Baradun is gonna cry again

The Misfits threw the dart🎯 or B.O.B. B.O.B. is number one 1⃣.

Hahah love the thought! Also, you're style of GMing is guiding my soon to be game. Thank you!

I feel your pain, brother.

I can actually understand transmutation OR conjuration. Its definitely not divination. You are not divining anything. You are sending information and receiving it back. A divination should be more prophetic. You’re either transmuting your thoughts into a telepathic message, or you are conjuring a telepathic link between the two of you. I agree it should be one or the other, but cant say I agree with using divination at all.

I do love your rants 😂

Hey Rob, maybe they need a new dart board? I’m sure if I thought very hard I could come up with a plausible reason. But I’m not going to 🤭 P.S. (I don’t think you saw this last time I posted). I’ve heard you use the name “Gareth” as a name for an NPC a few times now. Is it the same sad sack each time, is it a common name, or an Easter Egg? Inquiring minds want to know. 🧐

Have you thought about "Sending" WOTC a "Message"?

I'm sure there's a YT channel called "Ask a Wizard (or Sorcerer or Warlock or Cleric or Druid or Bard)".

Divination seems like reading someone' elses mind or receiving a message from a god. Message seems like bundling up a little sound wave and sending it short distances across the winds. The 3rd level one seems like closing your eyes, focusing really hard on the universe, finding a target, linking with them telepathically and opening up a private channel. These all seem very different to me. But I still find your rants hilarious! 😂

Message clearly works by transmuting the air in the receiver's ear into small dense pockets that then expand out in the exact frequencies needed to constitute the message you're speaking. Sending must then incite electrical activity in the recipient's brain to cause them to perceive your voice. Could, then, enough casters casting Sending on a person at the same time cause the target to have a seizure?

Dart board method is tried and true. Just ask the writers of Battlestar Galactica, it's how they picked who was a Cylon.

Maybe thats exactly what they do

It wouldnt be a robert rants without rob silently raging as he holds himself back from screaming into the void as a result of the mental anguish of discovering RAW

Only true wizard asks himself about such things)

Solid questions Robs.

Maybe with message, you're transmuting your words into the target's thoughts, and with sending you're evoking your thoughts in the target's brain... ... Or something.

It is known to be the highest honour in Swedish society to he chosen to read this poem on television just before the new year.

Mecha-Artificer let's go!

Had to ruin the 420 likes amd make it 421. Sorry everyone

Neat. My DnD ignorance made me think Apis just always was a horizon walker. Didnt know it was a decision that could have gone another way. Glad I'm making my way through these previous episodes 😊

Someone fetch the holy hand grenade!

I thought I hated this...but i watched it a dozen times so I must not.

That’s why you should never go adventuring without a jar of pickled vegetables. You never know when you need to identify limestone.

Hurray! I just finished all of vldl d&d content thus far, and am delighted that there is more Robert gm to satiate my current celebrity crush (yes, Robert, its you).

I hope, if you ever run out of 5e rants(unlikely, I know), you will move to other editions or game systems.

That is about the dumbest rule I have ever heard of! … p.s. in your campaigns I have watched so far, there has been 3 characters named “Gareth”. Is this supposed to be a common name or an Easter Egg?

Are there no rules for fire creating light?

The most calm and collected rant ever. 😂

But does it create enough heat for s’mores

Well if I'm not mistaken a torch does specify. So treat it like that, or a little better. Easy fix

Good thing about dnd.. you can alter those rules :P I’d say that light was cast as a DM if they were wanting to use a bonfire to cast light

Yeah…. F the rules as written…this is a bonfire and it will have light. I say good day.

Hehe the irony
