In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss the help action in tabletop role-playing games, specifically in Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Pathfinder 2e. We explore the mechanics of the help action, including its use in combat and out of combat scenarios. We also discuss the limitations and potential benefits of using the help action, as well as different character options that can enhance its effectiveness. This highlights the importance of understanding the rules and clarifying any misconceptions to ensure a fair and balanced gameplay experience. We also discuss the rules and mechanics of the Aid action in both D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e, exploring the differences in how the action is handled in each system, including the requirements, benefits, and limitations. We include character options that make taking the Aid action more attractive, such as the Mastermind Rogue subclass in 5e and the Cooperative Nature and Loyal Empath feats in Pathfinder 2e. Overall, highlighting the importance and usefulness of the Aid action in both systems. In this final part of the episode we talk about the cooperative nature of aid checks in Pathfinder Second Edition, and the idea of adjusting the DC for aid checks based on the difficulty of the task and the level of training of the character being aided; and how aid checks can be used in combat to create openings for attacks or to identify weaknesses in enemies. The team share their personal experiences with aid checks and offer different perspectives on when and how to adjust the DC; overall, emphasizing the importance of aid checks in the game and encouraging players to use them more often. KEY TAKEAWAYS The help action in tabletop role-playing games allows a character to assist another character, granting advantage on ability checks or attacks The help action is commonly used in combat to provide advantage on attack rolls, especially with familiars or characters with specific abilities In out of combat scenarios, the use of the help action depends on the DM's ruling and the specific skill being assisted Understanding the rules and clarifying any misconceptions about the help action is important to ensure a fair and balanced gameplay experience Different character options, such as feats or class abilities, can enhance the effectiveness of the help action. The Aid action in D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e has different rules and mechanics In D&D 5e, the Aid action requires using an action and the DM determines if the aid is successful In Pathfinder 2e, the Aid action requires preparation, being in a proper position, and conveying necessary information The Aid action in Pathfinder 2e has degrees of success, with higher levels increasing the chance of critical success Character options like the Mastermind Rogue subclass in 5e and the Cooperative Nature and Loyal Empath feats in Pathfinder 2e make taking the Aid action more attractive The Aid action can be a powerful tool for assisting allies and improving the chances of success in both systems. Aid checks in Pathfinder Second Edition are a cooperative mechanic that allows characters to assist each other in various tasks. The DC for aid checks can be adjusted based on the difficulty of the task and the level of training of the character being aided Aid checks can be used in combat to create openings for attacks or to identify weaknesses in enemies The hosts share their personal experiences with aid checks and offer different perspectives on when and how to adjust the DC Aid checks are an important and versatile mechanic that players should utilize more often in the game MATERIALS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE DnDBeyond: Help Archives of Nethys: Aid https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=2292 If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app. It's a quick, free way to support the podcast, and helps us reach new listeners.

Show NotesThis week, Fiona and Hamilton continue their deep dive into the Monk - a playable class from the original 5e Player's Handbook. Monks are spiritual ascetics and practitioners of a mystical energy known as ki, the magical essence which flows through all living things.According to the Player's Handbook: 'Whatever their discipline, monks are united in their ability to magically harness the energy that flows in their bodies. Whether channeled as a striking display of combat prowess or a subtler focus of defensive ability and speed, this energy infuses all that a monk does.Monks make careful study of a magical energy that most monastic traditions call ki. This energy is an element of the magic that suffuses the multiverse—specifically, the element that flows through living bodies. Monks harness this power within themselves to create magical effects and exceed their bodies' physical capabilities, and some of their special attacks can hinder the flow of ki in their opponents. Using this energy, monks channel uncanny speed and strength into their unarmed strikes. As they gain experience, their martial training and their mastery of ki gives them more power over their bodies and the bodies of their foes.'In this episode, we cover the following 8 subclasses:Way of the Long Death (from SCAG)Way of the Drunken Master (from XGtE)Way of the Kensei (from XGtE)Way of the Sun Soul (from XGtE)Way of Mercy (from TCoE)Way of the Astral Self (from TCoE)Way of the Ascendant Dragon (from FToD)Way of the Cobalt Soul (from TCSR)Note - during the episode, we incorrectly label 'the Way of the Cobalt Soul tradition as being found from the Explorer's Guide to Wildmount'. It comes from the 'Tal'dorei Campaign Setting Reborn' sourcebook.Chapter discussed: 'Monks' from 'Ch. 4: Classes', 'Monks' from 'Ch. 1: Character Options', 'Monks' from 'Ch. 1: Character Options', 'Monks' from 'Ch. 1: Character Creation' and 'Monks' from 'Ch. 4: Character Options', Books: 'Sword Coast's Adventurer's Guide', 'Xanthar's Guide to Everything', 'Tasha's Cauldron of Everything', 'Fizban's Treasury of Dragons' and 'Tal'dorei Campaign Setting Reborn', published by Wizards of the Coast, November 2015, November 2017, November 2020, October 2021 and 2014 and January 2022 respectively.Consider using our affiliate link when using DM's Guild!#SupportyourFLGSCredits The DM's Book Club is hosted, recorded, edited, and produced by Fiona Howat (@WAIR_Podcast) and Hamilton (@TheDragonDM).

Show NotesThis week, Fiona and Hamilton take a deep dive into the Bard - a playable class from the original 5e Player's Handbook. Bards are a versatile group, capable of combat and of magic. They weave magic through words and music to inspire allies, demoralize foes, manipulate minds, create illusions, and even heal wounds.According to the Player's Handbook: 'The bard is a master of song, speech, and the magic they contain. Bards say that the multiverse was spoken into existence, that the words of the gods gave it shape, and that echoes of these primordial Words of Creation still resound throughout the cosmos. The music of bards is an attempt to snatch and harness those echoes, subtly woven into their spells and powers.The greatest strength of bards is their sheer versatility. Many bards prefer to stick to the sidelines in combat, using their magic to inspire their allies and hinder their foes from a distance. But bards are capable of defending themselves in melee if necessary, using their magic to bolster their swords and armor. Their spells lean toward charms and illusions rather than blatantly destructive spells. They have a wide-ranging knowledge of many subjects and a natural aptitude that lets them do almost anything well. Bards become masters of the talents they set their minds to perfecting, from musical performance to esoteric knowledge.'In this episode, we cover the following:Bard Class Features (as it appears in PHB)Optional Class Features (from TCoE)Chapter discussed: 'Bards' from 'Ch. 3: Classes' and 'Bards' from 'Ch. 1: Character Options'.Books: 'Player's Handbook' and 'Tasha's Cauldron of Everything', published by Wizards of the Coast, August 2014 and November 2022 respectively.Consider using our affiliate link when using DM's Guild!#SupportyourFLGSCredits The DM's Book Club is hosted, recorded, edited, and produced by Fiona Howat (@WAIR_Podcast) and Hamilton (@TheDragonDM).
