Bugbear? More like Bugwear Amiright


    Do you crave people to recoil in terror as you pass by? Do you like walking into the room and counting how many weapons are immeadietly drawn? Do you have maybe a little too much of a crush on Emma Watson and you like pretending to be the beast? Well then a Bugbear is a great match for you.


     Now why would you want to be a hideous monster that is known worldwide for stealing babies and terrorizing towns? I am not certain but for me I think it relies mostly on both comedic and roleplaying possibilities. But certainly check with the DM because their interpritation of how people would react to you would make or break your game. I have talked to a couple DM's that say you would be barred from entry in any town and attacked if your party didnt suceed persuasion checks. Which means if the DM isnt on board its probably not worth your time to try it out.
    However I would have strong santctions against a monster PC but after being proven of good will they would be welcome almost every situation (which is a pretty strong promise for me). But for all intents and purposes you could win over every single person and township.  Which brings me to why I love this idea, I want to play an incredibly charismatic bugbear as a bard and convince the world that bugbears are a very reasonable people and bring them onto the map of diplomacy.
   Alright onto the SWAG


  • +2 strength and +1 Dex
  • Maturity 16-80 years
  • You are a medium sized object 6-8 feet tall and 250-350 pounds
  • Walking speed 30ft
  • You know common and Goblin
     This is where it gets OP as hell

  • Long Limbed: You have a melee range of 5ft greater then normal
  • Powerful build: You are considered a size larger when it comes to carrying capacity, Lifting and Pushing
  • You're proficient in the stealth skill
  • Surprise!: If you surprise the enemy and hit add 2d6 to the damage





    Thats all you need to know about making a Bugbear PC. Feel free to continue reading my ramblings underneath.

    I know what youre thinking, you meta gaming nerd! Yes obviously this race has a pretty clear objective, Speak softly and carry a large stick am I right Teddy Roosevelt. no no no no hell no, break the mold! be the change you wish to see. Which is to say my ideal bugbear is based off of Barack Obama. A crazy charismatic presence that just makes people like them and changes how people percive their lives. I also like the Idea of a pacifist Ghandi style monk that only acts in self defense and tries to avoid conflict.
    Naturally the strategy part of me is currently crying at my suggestions. So I must state how gratifying it would be to use an overly large club or axe and just rip apart waves of enemies. Not to mention if you strike first you can do a potential additional 12 damage. Then you count as a larger sized creature for carrying, pushing and lifting. So if you dropped in on an enemy group you could murder an enemy and pick up another one and toss him off a cliff. Or just go barbarian and go full hulk whenever you want.

    Thank you so much for reading, Keep it dicey my friends

A quick intro into DnD

Welcome and let me be the first to offer my congratulations. If you are watching this video it means (Most likely) that I or some other person in your life loves you enough to try and spend time together. Scarily enough if you are watching this that means you are on your first little baby steps to joining a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Now I know what you’re thinking, Isn't that the game that nerds play in the Basement while still living at their parents' house? Why yes, yes it is. But it is also the game played by millions of other people that go about their lives in a normal fashion. Playing this game is not going to make you crave Doritos and mountain dew at all time of the day. You won't shriek every time you see the sun and cry out in terror when someone suggests doing something outside. In fact    If you are already watching this video and want to play but you just need to learn how everything actually works feel free to skip this video a

Aasamir

Aasimar     An angel looks at the new recruit and asks "how did you get here". The new angel looks at him and says "oh you know... I flu". Don't worry that's as bad as it gets (hopefully) for today. The Aasimar are basically the weakest of the angels in this universe. With that being said that doesn't mean that aasimar are even remotely weak. It just means they don't roll the 4-9d6 die of holy damage with every hit.          Race: Aasimar     Stat Bonus: +2 Charisma/ +1 Consitution or +1 wisdom or +1 Strength     Age: up to 160 year     Size: Similar to humans     Speed: 30ft   Swag:  Celestial Resistance: Resistance to Necrotic/ Radiant damage  Healing Hands: You can heal a number of hit points equal to your level. You cannot use this again until you finish a long rest  Light Bearer: You know the light cantrip and can cast it at will  Languages: Common and celestial    Subraces: Protector Aasimar, Scourge Aasimar, Falle

Aarockra

Aarockra     In bird culture not allowing aarockra to be a playable race at the table is what is known as “a dick move”(Scrah!). Thats right even though officially aarockra are a recognized playable race by wizards of the coast, Some DM’s are a little hesitant to allow them in the game (you will probably be able to figure out why pretty soon). Though I have to say that I am obsessed with the current idea of an incredibly low Intelligence / Wisdom aarockra thats a freaking tank and I just act like a pigeon the whole game (that being said I would only do this to annoy my friends).    Just like normal I will break this down to #1 and #2, for those that want quick info needed to play the game, and those that will spend extra time to explore the impossibly infinite possibilities they can make with their imagination. Anyways onto the show.    #1 Race: Aarockra A Large bird like humanoid figure fully covered in feathers, Talons, Wings and a Bea
