DaggerHeart Breakdown: Core Mechanics
Dragons and Dice - A Dungeons & Dragons podcast
Welcome to Dragons & Dice, A Dungeons and Dragons podcast where I talk about all things D & D. I go over tips for players and DM’s. I make home brewed items that you can add to your games. I make random charts for your players to roll on. And at the end of each month I do a fantasy character build out as a Dungeons and Dragons character.
Listen on:
The Dreaded Negative Critical chart
1) Crit your pants - You hit your self
2) Sad - Turn ends, no other movement or actions
3) Friendly Fire - You auto hit closest ally
4) Slippy - You drop your weapon, arcane focus, instrument, etc and it takes a bonus action to pick it up
5) Emotional Truama - Skip next turn
6) Rage out - Standard Melee attacks next turn
7) Over think it - Spells only next turn, skip turn if you don’t have any.
8) Stubborn - Must redo the failed actions each turn until successful
9) Over Compensate - Must use your biggest spells and as many cool downs as possible next turn
10) Fear of Failure - No action next round
11) Scared - Must use all of your movement to flee the missed target.
12) Embarrassed - Disadvantage on next save or attack, give creature advantage on saves
13) Make an excuse - If the Dm likes it nothing, if not roll twice on the chart
14) Blame Placer - Pick a party memeber, an actual PC, no summoned monsters or pets and roll on the chart for them
15) Over Worked - Can only do 1 of action/ bonus action/ movement next turn
16) Brain Pain - 1d8 psychic damage
17) Contagious - Any on the moves with in 10 ft of your or finishes a turn there must roll. This doesn’t effect enemies
18) Think it over - You can’t speak until next turn if you do reroll
19) Learn from your mistakes - Advantage next roll
20) Balance - Hit! Max Damage

So it’s time for another Dungeons and Dragons shenanigans build. On this episode of Dragons and Dice, I am building a character that is all about bending the world to their will. We will have so many ways to change what the dice say and get to drop dice for days, that we will be the bane of the DM and the envoy of all those min/max monsters we are playing with. Thank you all so much for listening to the show! You all are awesome, I hope you have a great week, that your DM’s are kind, and that your D20 ‘s roll high.

Hey folks it’s the last episode of the month and that means it’s time to bring another fantasy character to our Dungeons and Dragons table. For this month I am going old school and bring one of my childhood favorites to D & D. “Autobots Roll Out” Its time to build Optimus Prime. Leader of the Autobots, Keeper of the Matrix of Leadership, and a really awesome Transformer. I hope you all like the build, I love making him into a D & D character as he is in my top 3 favorite cartoon characters of my youth. Thanks for listening to the show, you all Rock and Roll …Out!

So I have been cheating on Dungeons and Dragons. I have been listening to Daggerheart actual play podcast lately and while I am loving all the new weapon masteries and how easy and fun it is to just load our combats on to a VTT, this new system has made me feel nostalgic for the theater of the mind and how fluid and interesting combat is if you don’t have to grid and measure everything out as much. So on this episode of Dragons and Dice I am talking about why and how to bring more theater of the mind to our D & D games. Thanks for listening! You all are as awesome as a Nat 20.

Hey folks, running one week behind so this is the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy character build for the month of June. It Is Waxillium Ladrain, a gunsling lawman from The Alloy of Law Series by Brandon Sanderson. It is full of Gunslinger flavor with a hint of Warlock and a Paladin dip too. This episode comes with a Home brewed item customized for Wax, but would serve as a nice templet for any game where you wanted an ebb and flow from the item. Thanks to everyone that is listening. You are the best!

it’s time to take it to take our Dungeons and Dragons games to the wild wild west. On this episode of Dragons and Dice I am breaking down weather or not to multi-class the new Gunslinger class that is up on D & D Beyond. I breakdown all the subclasses at each of the 4 tiers of play. If I would multi-class, when to multi-class, and what with I would multi-class them with. Thanks so much for tuning in you all are awesome.
