The Bad Guy This Season Is XP Leveling | Fantasy High Junior Year [Clip]

I don't know who's more mad, Riz or Murph lol

So instead of capitalism being the bad buy this season is xp vs milestone leveling 😂 I love it so much

Obsessed with the fact that at Aguefort they usually “take [students] into the woods so they can fight low level monsters + experience their first battle injury safely” meanwhile half fully DIED and Adaine literally /murdered/ an /actual person/ with a ladle on their first day of school

I think what would make a really satisfying denouement of this rivalry would be when the Rat Grinders and Bad Kids have to face off in battle, and it's revealed that the Rat Grinders are all super powerful and dangerous in a theorycrafting white room calculations way, but they each also have some unique glaring weakness that they never addressed because they spent all of their time fighting low CR monsters that couldn't exploit them, and that they lack party synergy because they've never been forced into a difficult position where they have to rely on their teammates to succeed. Something like their Barbarian can deal massive amounts of damage, but can't make a Wisdom save if their life depended on it, but their Bard never gives them Bardic Inspiration to help because they're too busy using them all on something like Blade Flourishes or Cutting Words. Or their Rogue has an insane burst opener, but has no sustained follow-up because she's never fought a creature that can tank her first attack.

I love the look on Ally's face as they discover XP grinding for the first time, after years of playing D&D with the gang.

"The real XP was the friends we made along the way.... and also all the monsters we killed. Oh BOY did we kill a lot of Slimes."

I understand Kipperlady’s fairness is about the bad kids always getting the best quests, but the fact that they speak about fairness when they have NO actual experience??

Best part is Brennan getting caught early on his XP vs Milestone beef (seeded in one of the earliest Adventuring Academy episodes), but being absolutely delighted at his own cleverness. 10/10, never change.

Brennan's delivery of the cheeky "whoops, sorry" always cracks me up

This is so fitting for a campaign in which all the D&D classes one can take are...literally classes one can take. The best thing about Fantasy High was always how self-aware and meta it was, even down to the name. I love it, this is amazing

"It's really hard to do the same thing for 3 hours everyday" Everyone with job suddenly wept a single tear and they can't explain why.

Riz losing his mind over it is justifiable. But Copperkettle is trying to argue that "fairness" of quest distribution when they haven't gotten themselves into any situation that would require them to go on the quest lines.

Murph is justifiably upset.

I love Riz's anger "THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF ADVENTURING!" It really shows ya Riz's love of being an adventurer.

Em and Murph mind-melding lol

I love how dedicated to the idea that The Rat Grinders are the bad guys the entire cast is. These are just other teens trying to get through school. Like, the bad kids school experience so far is Insane, and theyre Obsessed with these other students who are just like. Doing their own thing, entirely Unrelated to them.

Rats give 10xp, spiders give 10xp, and Twig Gremlins are a thing I think Brennan made up, but I’d assume they have CR 1/8 and so probably give 25xp. 10th level characters, like the Bad Kids, have 64,000xp, and there’s no way the Rat Grinders are a lower level. So, if the Rat Grinders have killed equal amounts of rats, spiders, and twig gremlins, then they have killed a minimum of 1,423 each

Brennan getting a little shy that the elevator pitch if this season was figured out makes me so happy

I love the look Emily and Murph share at 00:44 literally soulmate behavior
