D&D Court - Flammable Brooms, Chokeslamming Dragons, and Grandma the Bard

"Its a disaster" oh look its my gender

Maybe a little late to the party but I believe the 4 attacks trick is possible in 5.5e, you'd need dual wielding style AND feat, and a scimitar in one of your dual-wielding hands.

Why do so many people want to FORCE their players to multi class? That has come up an alarming amount of times on dnd court

Having a campaign require multi classing is a fun gimmick, but I fully disagree with the DM, asserting that multi classing automatically makes a character “richer” is just silly Knave behaviour, honestly

Jake saying "I didn't know there was a Raiachu" was very cute to me. Unfortunately I am cursed to know the names, types, and stats of all 1000+ pokemon so I find it very endearing when someone earnestly gets something wrong like that. It's like a child struggling to say spaghetti

Late to the party and I'm sure most people know this by now but if you take three levels of rouge and choose theif subclass you can get two bonus actions so if you duel wield and have a class that attacks twice you can also bonus action attack twice for 4 weapon attacks per turn

Woah that literally happens to Murph’s character in unsleeping city 2! His character’s sword becomes too big and badass for him to wield it effectively!

Jake’s just “No interest in scorpions” killed me

the DM controls what's summoned by Conjure Animals tho, the snail thing is the DM's fault (except not really, it doesn't explicitly state that the DM does, and if they do then the wording is the same in polymorph and implies players don't get to choose that either)

This is the episode that convinced me to get the Patreon.

1. Wrestlemania 2. Royal Rumble 3. Summerslam I assume this is what Murph meant.

Lore Bards get to have new spells at level 6 which would be an easy way to give her eldritch blast while playing by the RAW

Chaos grandma is the content I'm here for

Thought on the dragon grapple. The player said they were hanging from the ceiling and that he was holding the dragon by the neck, so it's wings were free. Yes the dragon wouldn't be able to move because of the grapple but couldn't it have opened its wings to have potentially slowed the descent of the ape slamming it into the ground? Make it a Dex or Str check. That way the player could still have tried to do the slam but the DM could've lessened the damage it would've taken. To me that seems like a good way to make it fair to both sides

I’m pretty sure that the brother in law situation is due to the brother in law being possibly a high schooler or younger person who might have some sort of problem with Paul at a personal level or something, or just wanting to challenge their sisters husband or something. Or possibly they could even be middle school? These seem to me the only explanations that make sense

"You can make a stink if you don't heed the wink"

Regarding dual wielding weapons with extra attacks: you can use whatever weapon you have in your hand for a multiattack.

“Iffy gender reveal party” is my new favorite phrase.

agree with Justice Murphy about the dual wielder feat and fighting style. You get to use a bonus action as your off hand attack after you've already attacked. AND as a fighter you will action surge and extra attack SO you could go "attack, extra attack, bonus action off hand attack ACTION SURGE attack, again" giving Emily her 4 attacks. Unless you keep gaining levels in fighter and get multiple extra attacks.

the benefits of duel wield and extra attack is that according to two weapon fighting you only use the bonus action to attack with your off hand when you hit with your main hand. So you just get an extra chance to use the bonus action off hand attack. I had fun with a wild surge barbarian and two axes, but I wasn't shooting for the most damage possible, I was shooting for fun with friends.

Elder blast is completely legit under magic initiate an excellent ruling

Hey my dudes! Big fan from Alabama (rockin’ the Mavrus tee at a my Christian college campus leads to some great moments) but I’ve never once met another haha. Love you guys and all of the stuff y’all are in!

This elder is itchin' to blast!

For anyone curious, here are the episode dates and time stamps for the tale of Taruk: 1. 2/25 at 11:35 2. 3/25 at 21:22 3. 4/29 at 28:27

Caldwell's analogy via Pikachu v. Lt. Surge's Raichu is one of the realest uses of Pokemon episodes ever.

I'm just here to say that Kane is my county's mayor, so I think he'd be on board with assisting in delivering justice

grandma helps Kane and Undertaker in the punishment obviously

Shout-out to the COE shoutouts this week! Theres a whole chain of them that just go in on Taruk and it's so funny 😂

I can't wait for a case to start with "May it please The Court and spit in the face of jake the lowly bailiff", it is only a matter of time

Bardlock is a great multi-class! I'm playing a College of Creation Bard that dips two levels into Hexblade Warlock in an upcoming campaign. Get the medium armor, CHA based attacks, Shield and eldritch blast! Also just picturing a 90 year old woman solving every problem like "I'm gonna blast em'!" Is hilarious 🤣

As GOD as my witness that dragon is BROKEN in HALF!!!

Why not just give grandma the magic initiate feat and have her take eldritch blast?

I love that they sentenced someone to just be Cody with the Questing Blade Dark Excalibur Mega-Genesis

So I must say that we have to get the gang to go to/watch summerslam and have a “the gang watches summerslam” with all their reactions.

DIMENSION 20 SPOILERS Absolutely brutal giving out the Cody Walsh punishment to the dual weilder

Question, we've talked about giant animals before here being multiple times larger than the normal ones. Wouldn't these snails only really be the size of like dogs?? That's a HUGE snail.... There's no reason they need to be the height of the room right?

Fighting fires with a broom is a real thing. I'm a firefighter and we carry special brooms for combating grass fires. They are made out of metal but putting out a fire with a broom is a perfectly reasonable thing to do!

I may have misread but I swear that the rules say that magic items arent that easy to destroy.

Emily had a good point. "Most magic items are objects of extraordinary artisanship. Thanks to a combination of careful crafting and magical reinforcement, a magic item is at least as durable as a nonmagical item of its kind. Most magic items, other than potions and scrolls, have resistance to all damage. Artifacts are practically indestructible, requiring extraordinary measures to destroy." So it depends on if they put into the story that the broom was an artifact or magical item. It's more fun if the broom lights on fire though and the player can use it to write in the sky in smoke "screw you DM" as he tumbles to earth.

The DM trying to force multiclassing should look into gestalt leveling (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/az6hto/5th_edition_gestalt_rules_for_combination_classes/). I doubt the players would turn down a few free levels of class abilities while keeping their capstones. It makes them way more powerful but you can fix that in the encounter balancing.

I love murphs energy in this episode

Thank you honorable judges. I can’t wait to tell the other players about the ruling and sentencing lol

Plz plz plz make a game with taruke a patreon stretch goal 😂😂😂

Try OSW Review Murph. It's also a great wrestling show

To clarify: can my punishment of being forced (I absolutely volunteer) to watch Pokémon with Duncle be turned into a livestream where we all watch episodes of Pokémon with Duncle?

The multiclass bard podcast is BomBarded! You were right murph! It's awesome because they're a band irl so they write a song every episode. And theres a rouge, a druid, and a barbarian.

I'm disappointed Blastma isn't in the Summer Slam lineup!!

Don't Lore Bards already get Eldritch Blast?

Cant wait to see the NADDPOD brand deal with mountain dew to make the newest flavor Elder Blast

Aw does this mean no campaign drop this week?

Court is now in session, beeitchs!

Night court!

wowza double jury duty tonight

Thank you supreme crit justices! may it please the court!
