Not sure if anyone will see this, but in Faerun (and thus DnD lore) the gods placed the Dragon Curse on the Dragons, which explains their lack of commingling with other species.
suckin' on the brain nipple
Don’t worry about that 3rd Eladrin, he’s gone. For now…
Also, Murph, you were correct. 1/5 of 1/3 is 1/15. Caldwell just gave you decimal/percentage form. :D
I think it might be that it's easy to become overly fond of/attached to one's first class, but monks are effing rad. My first character was a dwarven elemental monk, and I definitely felt like I was nearly an avatar-style bender! The damage dealt with each hit wasn't necessarily huge (especially in comparison to the swashbuckler rogue), but I DID get 3-4 hits a turn, which ended up doing a decent amount all together. The movement was a huge benefit, and I feel like it would be the same in theater of the mind, too. Monks rule!
Since the Band of Boobs is now roughly 6% closer to godhood, I'm wondering how much of a 'god' one needs to be for the pact to apply. And, would this complicate things with Mallora?
Afaik the pact applies only to the gods who were present when it was made, the old goblin god they found in the astral plane walked free because of this
"You should play a Monk"
I don't know if I'd say druids don't do a lot of damage, wisdom castors' best spells are concentration! You gotta have a concentration spell up at all times since they're you're strongest spells.
Tiger king references 😭😂

What if moonshine and other druids and magic folk come together over the ocean and stone shape amassing e land mass for the dragons to live on
Dogs do exist in Bahumia. Just re-listened to Honey Bear fight in Feywild. After Tubbing n Clubbing, Seely Elandrin says they’ll stay behind in the cave with the dog. BTW, freaking hilarious ep. it’s the oldest ad-free on Patreon. Thought it funny considering your convo about Hardwon still crushing on Triss. Love you guys!!!
No Frozen 2 spoilers?
Have you consider giving each player one legendary action/resistance of their own as their upgrade? They could use it once a day and it would reflect on their titan status. The original hero’s are level 20 and are not titans so that would be something to set them apart other than just levels
For Hardwon! 3 level in Barb, Ancestral Guardian, embrace the Dwarf Daddies and they could help Moonshine&Bev which I feel they definitely would be by this point. Helps the team while giving Sir Surefoot reckless attack... advantage on 4 attacks while crit-ing on 18-20... He would have to choose between going offensive with a rage and gaining advantage or being able to use shield+spirit guardians, while still being able to interact with the daddies.

I commented this on the first episode of short rest and I'm only on episode 37 of the podcast but I have to say: if nobody has said it yet speaking stones should definitely be called Rocky Talkies. I'll see y'all in a few weeks when I catch up.
See I always thought SmartStone.
As fast as multi classing goes Hardwon is chosen by Moredin maybe he gets a class in paladin or heck cleric would be wild
30:25 was uncomfortable and also thank you
i listened to 35 minutes of this short rest before realizing i didn’t listen to 40 min of the original ep SMH!
All the roses to Murph🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
based it on what they said the other present
A Forge Cleric dip might work nicely for Hardwon- it ties in w his Dwarven roots, he gets a smite spell, & can +1 armor or a weapon. Monk dip for Moonshine would be the dirty min-maxiest way to go- she'd get a monk's unarmored defense, which is DEX + WIS & would be bonkers for a druid.
Mathematically (and thus pedantically, as she wouldn't be excelling) the monk dip isn't particularly min maxy. The higher your armor is the more each point matters (if you have 19 ac against a +0 to hit, 1 more ac halves your chance of being hit, whereas 10 to 11 is a comparatively marginal difference), and given that she aint already maxin armor it's not gonna be that big a change against a +14. She'd get more out of a lvl in one of the sorc or warlock subs that actually have relevant level 1 features/spells (tho not in a min/max fashion i suppose)
Are there any D&D groups who might be interested in showing a player the ropes? I planned to start looking for a group in my area but with the pandemic...
I'd check out the lfg subreddit! Lots of folks are looking to play rn
Hear me out... Bardwon Surefoot. He's got the woodblock, he already inspires Moonshine & Bev, he gets a couple spell slots... all that AND a punny name? Eh, eh?
I think getting new music to fit the theme of the new campaign would be good to give it its own feel, especially the battle themes and the intro theme. But after the first few episodes I think recycling wouldn't be as noticeable and it would be after the tone has already been established. Love the content!
I would love to see Hardwon Surefoot become a Warlock with MawMaw as his patron
Dogs = summer wolf
I love the idea of dipping into other classes. You could also possibly dip into other races i.e. let everyone pick a trait that is normally exclusive to a race that isn’t theirs like a Half Orc’s Relentless Endurance, a Kobold’s Pack Tactics, a Dragonborn’s Breath Weapon, etc.
Give everyone breath weapons for the last battle... they could all probably do much more damage w p much anything else at this point but
Anyone else scroll through venmo just to see if they could send a buck and a rose?
On emily's two cool pitches for characters: - for monk, the UA Path of Mercy seems 100% like emily's vibe. They are mask wearing monks who are equally good at poisoning and healing. They're supposed to be sort of like plague doctor monks which is super rad - For eldritch knight, I might take a look at a two level dip into bladesinger wizard because it buffs your AC an equal amount to your intelligence modifier and you get a lot more versatility with wizard spells! It's an insanely fun multiclass from expirience.
I've been tooling around w Bladesinger, as a multiclass w my Arcane Trickster rogue- I think that multiclass might make more sense, bc Bladesong doesn't work with anything but light armor & a one handed weapon (you can't even use a shield :( )
Listening to brain nipple sucking noises while trying to eat, I lost my appetite. 10/10 short rest.
Early request for Caldwell's next drawing stream to include the a gold dragon Joe Exotic and Melora as Carole Baskin thx
The brain nipple sucking bit...y'all ain't right 😂
Emily, playing a character that does not deal massive damage in a turn, really compliments your unparalleled intelligence, wisdom, and creativity as a player, which makes Moonshine such an amazing, delightful, powerful, nuanced, hospitable personality. That said, I totally get doing a ton of damage can be really badass and fun.🙂
Honestly this episode was another show of some fantastic story telling by Murph. I love the mirroring of all the previous adventuring parties in Bahumia. First the Legendary Heros and then these gods. All a party of three and all failed. I guess Balnor really did make the difference. Also bringing back Luna, amazing! On the stream you did make a good case why she wouldn’t come back and I’m sure everyone understood. But I’m personally so happy she’s back. So many roses for you Murph. What’s your venmo?
Dipping into other classes for free is a very cool idea. I know I'm rethinking multi classing systems for fun. Tough to balance though. Jake check out revised ranger. If you take a level, natural explorer actually gives you some good benefits.
warlock hardwon whose patron is mawmaw would be iconic
Loved that there was a Tiger King reference
Murph, what is your venmo?
So they each have 6.66% of a divine heart, ominous....
WHat did Balnor and Paw Paw think of?
Murph! Gestalt leveling but, like, adjusted to only be for a level or two! https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Gestalt_(5e_Variant_Rule) (you probably already know about this, but in the off chance you don’t, it sure is cool as hell)
Cleric or paladin for Hardwon would make sense because of the godshammer
Hardwon should multi-class hex blade with maw-maw as his patron (if that’s possible)...
Man listening to the short rest and it just sounds very not flat, very the opposite of flat.
My weekly dose of anti depressants has arrived
Anyone else not getting the rest to load?
Reuploading! I accidentally double filtered it and the audio sounded flat! Will be 2 min. - Murph
Episode came out great! 🌹🌹🌹
Literally JUST finished last weeks short rest/hearthside chat. I was so excited when I realized I had missed it and had stuff to listen to. Now I have this. 😍 The dishes WILL get done!
Man good timing i just finished listening to the episode! Thank you guys!
It maybe nearly 1am here in England but I’ll be damned if I have anything better to do that would require me to sleep right now
Callooh callay!!!!
Calloo callay!
Woot woot
