Murph is the perfect mix of getting all the respect, while simultaneously getting no respect from the players.

Ohhhh, that paladin is so getting itching powder in his armour later

id wish to be owed wishes by a omnipotent benevolent entity that wishes the best for me

Good advice, but try to disable surrounded audio, youre in my left ear only 😅

Love this and want to implement

you win some you lose some

you enter the fey and feel the air turn stiff, almost like static, upon successful successful perception check you know its pixoes and know they are invisible now, roll for initiative

Uhm...Fireball.

No, what a noise me is when my players try to convince me that a gnome barbarian can be just a strong as a goliath barbarian... No, not in my game. And if you don't like it you can leave my game

Put a pixie in a jar and use it as a chemical bomb

my greatest fear when watching youtube is when the audio only comes into my left ear and scares the shit out of me

I fear what my right earphone is dead, but its just ur shietty montage skill.

You can also ask in terms of like what might be "triggers" or "phobias" since fear can be such a broad concept

im picturing some backrooms type sht

Lines and Veils. Hard lines are things that shouldn’t be brought up, veils are things that can be alluded to but not in great detail

Good advice.

There's a book series called Dungeon World, where dungeons are sentient and actually have to defend against heroes and other dungeons(which can totally send dragons of rheir type)

Ooh. Dungeons for dragons? Interest: piqued.

My left ear enjoyed this short

My "easier solution" is to remove it from the spell lists, & instead make it a Bard-only class feature at Level 6 (alongside or replacing Countercharm), and make it cost a use of Bardic Inspiration instead of a spell slot (though there is the alternative of having it cost a 3rd level spell slot instead of a Bardic Inspiration). Ensures that not only is it harder to access (can't get it with Magic Initiate or a 1 level dip now), but it's also more costly to use (Bardic Inspiration & level 3+ spell slots are less common and harder to restore, with other important abilities/spells requiring their expenditure) and limited to the Bard (the only class Silvery Barbs really makes sense for).

I wanted to do a campaign much like golden sun, start with your character, seem to lose them at the end of a battle with bbg, start another, halfway through the second you get access to your old character with minor upgrades revealing how they escaped the last battle with bbg and need to level up and get a quest item before facing him with both sets of character giving you 2 rounds of play per combat.

No sound broski

6-8 battles a day = 3 sessions a day at least

the analysis of how much difference disadvantage makes, doesn't take into account that you don't have to use it until you see whether the attack hits. That makes it far more useful than the numbers for "the lower of two D20 rolls" would suggest. How much more useful, as you noted, depends on how high you need to roll to hit in the first place.

I discussed with my DM, we changed it such that it was a 4th lvl spell. Waaay better.

I wish they had made it a bard exclusive spell. The name alone makes me think it should be, and really the main problem I've seen so far is when like half the party all have it packed.

left channel.. left channel

So you are saying me playing a Psionic Sorcerer and putting Silvery Barbs on my Psionic Spelllist so I can cast it for one sorc point without any components needed was unblanaced. Yes probably it was. But it was a lot of fun.

Dragons are so powerful because they adventure in Astral Plane Dungeons where it takes 4-6 dragon of various types to succeed!

people do absolutely ban wish at tables, but also like, not nearly as badly, because atleast the dm can get creative with wish to make it backfire

My table rebalance makes it a 3rd level spell.

Another thing to add up, is that it is straight up better and more cost effective than the metamagic Heightened spell. First up, you can use it after you know it has succeeded. So if someone throws a very important encounter ending spell such as banishment, hold person, etc. You can make sure it succeeds. All of that for the cost of a 1st leveled spell.... the metamagic costs 3 sorcery points and a 1st leveled spell is only 2 sorcery points. So it is straight up better, because you use it only after you know it failed. It is cheaper, it is easier to get, you have more uses of it. And on top of all that, it doesn't even have to be your own spell. You can throw it when the banishment the cleric threw failed. And to make it even worse, you can now give advantage to the rogue. All of that for a 1st leveled spell. And that is without taking into account its main use.

The biggest use out of silvery Barbs I have seen is to negate critical hits. Even if the enemy or player hits again, it will most likely not be a critical hit. I have seen both DMs and players alike get their dreams crushed when they celebrate a nat 20 only to hear the words "I cast silvery barbs"... It is so strong, I have seen people use counterspell, and when people need a 3rd leveled spell to negate a 1st leveled spell, you know something is wrong.

WOTC recommends far more combats per rest than people are accustomed to. They recommend 6-8 combats per day.... seems like they have never played the game they designed. Each combat can last an hour or more. Do they really expect to spend 6-8 hours each day of playtime, before we even get to the boss?

To be fair though, if a strong character kicking down a weak door should have a DC of like, 5-10.

Why are you only in my left ear

While this definitely makes sense and could make playthroughs less volatile. Some of the best moments in D&D can come from a character tragically failing at something they should be very competent at and just having to somehow flavour it in a way that makes sense.

The dungeon has doors to begin with, they can be harder to go through than walls, where dragons are just dragons

Silvery Barbs is overrated. It gets banned because it 'feels' overpowered, but it's actually balanced just fine. SB gives advantage which is about 15% and disadvantage on average, which is also 15%. So 30% change - once. Shield increases your AC by 5 and is a reaction. That's an increase of 25% to AC. So it's better than Shield? Nope! Because Shield stays around until your next turn (and reduces magic missile to 0 damage). What else is that strong? Absorb Elements. Again, you KNOW you're getting hit so that's fine. Does Silvery Barbs reduce damage by 50%? Nope, we already did the math and found it was 30% difference in hit/miss. SB is 3rd best among the 1st level reaction spells (sorry feathery fall). That's not even taking Bless (12.5% increase to saves and attacks for multiple rounds to multiple people), Healing Word (range bonus action heal makes dying nearly impossible), Find Familiar (ritual spell to get advantage on 1 attack every round for eternity?). Heck, Entangle is on par with Silvery Barbs. Is it a good spell? Yes. Top 10 for 1st level. Is it OP and need to be banned? Lol, no. Ban Bless and Shield first.

Silvery barbs is really not special at all, its only DMs that ignore Inspiration that think it is. Lucky feat is much the same, players are designed to have the ability to get at will advantage a few times a day, its not like Inspiration is an optional rule or anything. Fabricate is banned way more often by DM's and for good reason.

Left ear gang.

setup took too long. pass

I can't resist the sweaty goblins

What kind of dungeon. Hell what kind of dragon

Audio is all in one ear

Sounds like an instant ultra rare that everyone will need 4 of in their deck.

Just add a rule when players use it at first level that the npc they’re targeting for disadvantage has to make a saving throw for whether or not the spell resolves . Use it at second level or above to remove that requirement.

In my last campaign we were stuck in like a Groundhog Day scenario by a demon and he was holding my guy and another characters hand trying to get us to join him and I almsot, ALMOST had my Character lick his hand but I decided I wanted to survive.

To me silvery barb sound like a legendary resistance that many high CR creature have. Like adult or ancient dragons. And they are limited to only 3. So yeah that spell destroy the whole balance of 5e. (Or any feeling of balance that was left.)

Currently playing a gnome bard with the sailor background PHB said they age at the same rate as humans... So being 100 already means they're likely to experience memory issues Being 457 meanwhile apparently leads to Donkin Dunot, the 3'3 man who gnaws on the bones of everything he kills before drinking its marrow
