I've got a friend group willing to give DnD a go, unfortunately we are all new to the game. My experience with it goes little beyond watching my favorite streams but as the most experienced and creative I've taken the mantle of the DM. This video has been a great help and surely when I help one of my players with creating his own Barbarian (Dragonborn) sheet, I'll seem a lot more knowledgeable than I actually am. Love the videos, I can now confidently guide others through their own struggles as a beginner!

Big fan of these quick walkthroughs. New to 5e but long time player of AD&D

I decided to make a Half Orc Barbarian at the same it but with different rolls and I think todays my lucky day.
As I joined my friends recently they were already part way through and most of them were level 3 close to 4. So the DM allowed me to make a character and start it at lvl 3.

So my stats are at Level 3
Str-20
Dex-14
Con-19
Int-10
Wis-14
Cha-15
AC-16
Hp-43!!!

I think watching this gave me good luck. So thanks for that plus for the helping making this guide. It really help.

Great explanations for a D&D beginner! Thank you

Making a Barbarian for this weekend thanks for the video

Hi man! It would be very helpful if you made indications in the video for each building step and you zoomed a bit out. When jumping in the video, it's very hard to find out on which page you are :) Thanks!

I like a half orc nature cleric I played it one that was more the medical woman type and tribe educator type. that one round to action after hitting 0hp is great

As far as Savage Attacks goes, it depends on what weapon you use. A greataxe, for example, uses 1d12 for damage, so Savage Attacks would wind up being a total of 3d12. A greatsword or maul both deal 2d6 damage, so the Savage Attacks would be a total of 5d6 damage on a critical hit!!

Weekday about a lawful Good, Teifling paladin, with compulsive honesty.

Thanks so much you created exactly what I wanted

Random question: I know that the unarmered defences don't stack (con/wis) but do they stack with other non armor sources of AC? Like Mage armor or dragon sorcerer armor?

[yardhaunt]

That was fun to watch : a war drum would've been a good musical instrument. I don't think I've ever sen a roll of an 18 and a 5 : The attack mods are definitely appropriate.

[VaughanCockell]

Did you realise that you didn't have to buy the Greataxe? The class comes with some basic equipment options that you glossed past earlier on.  Top of page 48 gives a bunch of weapons plus an explorer's pack that all Barbarians start with.

Wish you wouldn't fast forward the backgrounds... I love your videos, thanks for doing this.

[ajethandragon]

Hey, I'm a little confused on attacks, what bonuses does a barbarian goliath get in and out of rage for attacks throughout the low levels

[Rusouv]

Cool video, thanks for the help, but how did you the Initiative +1???

[deantitus]

My dude, you forgot to add the rage damage to the great axe damage roll. It should be 1d12 + 7(Strength mod plus rage damage 2)!! A second look should confirm that!!

[sven]

Why 13 charisma and not 13 dex? seems you want higher dex because of ac?

[drawrof]

How about a character creation where you use the Variant Hunan Traits?

[skeletonsystem]

argh you fast forwadd ability score modifiers... im so confused as to how these are scored. ill try work it out from another of your videos
