I love it.

We all know who Kendrick Lamar is and no we aren’t going to fuck with him.

It is fantastic. He also does live music for a d&d podcast called dragon friends. It is recorded in front of an audience. They don't follow the rules super strictly, but it is entertaining.

Ursula from Little Mermaid.

What can I say? He’s a natural.

If the ancient dragon can't kill the bard while they spend 11 minutes mocking it, it just dies of shame.

New hit: Love Letter to a Dungeon Master.

To be fair, player characters at level 17+ are basically walking deities, regardless of class.

I mean if I was a dragon that failed to kill a bard for 11 minutes I'd take care of it myself.

I thought it made them suicide, least thats how i imagine it, like someone yo mama'd you so hard, you pull out and fall on your sword.

A cantrip that's as effective as "power word kill" on mundane folk? Use 55 times to kill a dragon? How did I miss this?

As a DM, I'd have to implement a house rule that every such insult must be unique, as it is magically bound to the target at that distinct moment in time. And that goes for failures as well as successes: each use burns that phrase forever. At the very least this goes if used repeatedly against the same target. Besides, a good bard should be able to cook up fresh material.

I love this video, but I genuinely upset at ruining the story and not taking it seriously

The bard in my game killed Brenda Walsh from Beverly Hills 90210 with this cantrip.

Well, this scene from Pick of Destiny is very fitting

I legit killed an owlbear with vicious mockery (as in killing blow). Sticks and stones etcetc

Imma start another bg3 run asap.

Bards aren't just "a talented musician" they literally use magic. They're basically wizards that went the liberal arts path in college.

Plot twist, the dragon accepts your challenge and destroys you with 800 years worth of yo mama jokes.
