I LOVE drakkeheim, best campaign of whole 5E (for me) by far. A worthy successor un quality terms to what (for me again) was Iron Kingdoms and the Witchfire in 3E

For those interested in Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim, while it isn't on Dnd Beyond, it IS on VTT's like Roll20 and Foundry if you are looking to purchase it :)

I feel like your shirt has some substantial depth to it. Equality is Greater than Division?

This build reminds me of the old D&D 3.0 class, Sohei, from Oriental Adventures. It had a rage, monk unarmored features, and a paladin-like spell list and progression. I would run this build in a similar way, as a sworn guardian of an area or organization.

Woo hoo. Been waiting for this since the D6 colab !!! Also have rewatched the arcane hand video just about every day. I'm playing one soonish and am super excited. You and the Dudes rock!

[jeremysteed]

I love how yall work together. The comradery is very refreshing.
D6 baby lol

[davidhannemann]

Doth mine ears deceive me? Did I hear the mighty Colby say at the 27:13 mark that he thought a class was too overpowered? 😆 🤣 😂

[wolfden]

Would love to see you do more drakkenheim inspired builds!

[Zrdin]

Excellent shirt!

Yes. I will be playing standard 5e as long as drakkenheim is there!

[kjmoore]

This build gives me big monkey king vibes, emotional, impulsive, highly skilled, nigh unkillable, polearm fighter. Only thing missing is the magic, but convince you DM to give you a flying carpet that looks like a cloud and boom.

[mikecarson]

LOVE your friendly cooperation with Dungeon Dudes in this video and other content!

[jeremyleyland]

Few I was worried this was going to be the third straight class in a row! I was about to call for a wellness check :-)

[fullmetalpoitato]

Took you long enough! Been waiting for The Way of the Serpent for ages!

[FreeTempest]

17:22 When Colby mentioned planting the pole arm and doing a flying kick, my first thought was of Rey Mysterio's 619 😂

[theblindbuildergrandminuti]

Meany a time I’ve thought about making a snake themed monk, but this is also really cool

[Lysving]

16:44 Very happy to see a clip from Moribito. Fun build, fun theme! That's exactly where my brain was going anyways. Anywho, y'all have a great day!

[bshorrar]

If Colby should do more 3rd party stuff this comment should be at the top so he knows it would get views!

[joshuawilliams]

Been waiting almost a year for this one. Thank you.

I build a nice little Serpent Style Monk straight and loved the class abilities. I can see why someone would want to go Barbarian what with the Monks "MAD", Rage, and Reckless Attack, and Possible Barbarian Subclass.

Depending on how the new monk flushes out as in 2024 PHB the Pure Serpent Monk could get really strong, as the one i built was based on UA 2024 Playtest Material. I also took the Invocation from Warlock for Pact of the Blade for the Radiant, Psychic, and Necrotic weapon attacks.

[dylanstock]

Love the t-shirt. And the build of course.
