My favourite bit was the Paladin, who must have been the DM’s super awesome level 20 NPC who showed up all the other players and was just great at everything.

[plexusissolaris]

9:37, ,There was me, there was oatmeal, there was apple pie…” Come on WatchMojo, 3 more words to perfection😂

[jonathanmanzan]

That "8 Int Gang" moment with the intellect devourers really got me 😂

[lizs]

A little attention to detail I noticed was that, mainly in the finally fight, everyone fought in turns. The choreograph was smooth from one action to the next, but only one person attacked at a time, and then the next person, and then the next. Sort of like the turn based initiative combat in a real dnd fight

[JojovonKoopa]

One of my favorite little details was when they get to the underdark, only Edgin and Holgar, the humans, carry laterns. Simon and Doric don't need them, as Halfelves and Tieflings both have darkvision.

[helloshyann]

I think my favorite little Easter egg was when Doric threw the rock at Sophina to break her concentration oh her spell. So subtle, but very well-placed!

[loganb]

It’s amazing how when the people making the movie *actually like* the source material and want to do it justice, the movie does well. Who would have thunk?

[StinkerTheFirst]

There's a bit when Doric breaks the necromancer's concentration at a key moment, when negates a spell and saves a party member. That was a clutch play that would work perfectly in a session.

[ledichang]

An extremely minor one: At one point in the final fight Simon accidentally hit his girlfriend with a fire bolt and she didn't skip a beat because she was resistant to fire.

[moestatk]

The Paladin used divine sense to detect the undead servants. What got me was that he smelled evil like it was a fart that just drifted through the room and reached him

[greendemon]

I loved the attention to detail when it came to the Sorcerer. Like how he had to attune to the helmet, or his component pouch on his waist, or how at one point someone covered his mouth, and he couldn't cast any spells anymore (verbal component).

[ReinBelmont]

I can't believe nobody is talking about the Hither Thither staff.
A DM having to invent a portal staff after the party fails his super awesome puzzle that works like a portal gun because it is, that was great but what is brilliant is that the party actually uses it later for the heist.
It's also the point where it becomes clear the paladin is just the DM's character.

[treehugger]

This is admittedly stretching "D&D Nod" from just official D&D lore to typical campaign shenanigans, but my favorite has to be after Simon collapses the bridge and then identifies Holga's stick as basically a portal gun, which ends up being more useful than the helmet they were looking for. That is 100% the DM being unprepared for the party failing the puzzle at Step 0 and pulling something out of thin air to keep the quest going, not realizing the implications of what they just gave the party until too late.

By the same token, honorable mention to when the painting they attached a portal to just falls flat on the ground apropos of nothing; that is the DM realizing that the item they hastily gave the party to get past that obstacle is snapping the campaign in two, so they contrived that reason for the plan to fail to force the party to think of something else.

[ryanbratley]

Fresh Cut Grass isn't a spell, the spell is probably Prestidigitation which can, among a bunch of other effects, create smells.

[jimwills]

I love how they glance over Ed telling Simon to keep holding everything. He has a bag of holding

[StageLXdk]

When the cast of the 80's cartoon showed up, I absolutely lost my sh*t!!! And when I found out they're played by the original voice cast, the world suddenly became beautiful and everything made sense!!

[joshuamohlman]

I was so happy when they acknowledged “fresh cut grass” from Critical Role. I only wish Sam Riegel or anyone else in the Critical Role cast made a cameo in this movie

[johntumahab]

I kind of wondered how some of the scenes would have played out if it was a real D&D campaign...

DM: "Your backstory earns the sympathy of the judges, and they consent to pardon you just as the fourth aarakocra judge walks in-"
PLAYER: "Wait. I want to see if I can escape by overpowering the aarakocra judge and using him as a crude hang glider to get out of the prison."
DM: "...You just passed the charisma check."
PLAYER: "Yeah, but I want to try that."
DM: "You want to end up being a fugitive instead of a free man?"
PLAYER: "Just let me roll!"

PLAYER 1: "Alright, now we go through the portal on the picture."
DM: "The portal opens to a stone floor. Apparently, the picture has fallen over."
PLAYER 1: "What the hell?! We spent all that time getting the money to buy that portrait, find the glue tree sap, and passed all those damn dexterity checks on the wagon just for that?!"
PLAYER 2: "You just really want us to use the helmet, don't you?"
DM: "Hey, I didn't plan out that entire Underdark side quest for you NOT to use it!""
PLAYER 1: "Fine..."
PLAYER 2: "You do it if you want. My character stays behind and tries to chip a hole on the floor big enough to shapeshift through."
DM: "That's nearly impossible."
PLAYER 2: "Then I'll just keep at it until I get a natural 20."

Dorric is specifically a Master of Many Forms (or atleast that would explain why she shifts so much) which is a 3E subclass that has the prequitise of polymorph or wildshape, It allows the player to seamlessly shapeshift into all animals and even magical beasts. Which would explain her Owlbeqe form.

Dont forget that they can drawn on more editions than just 5E.
