0:00
hold person and dominate person
0:02
basically don't matter anymore in the
0:04
2024 D and D rules in previous editions
0:07
there were a lot of humanoid enemies
0:08
that you would face especially at low
0:10
levels goblins orcs etc uh the the
0:14
monstrous humanoids quote unquote so in
0:17
previous editions you could use spells
0:19
like hold monster on those enemies and
0:21
that gave you a powerful lowlevel saver
0:24
suck option like crowd control
0:27
essentially but in the 2024 rules those
0:31
again quote unquote monstrous humanoids
0:33
are no longer humanoids the Monster
0:36
Manual changed a ton of creature types
0:38
goblinoids are fay gith Yankee are
0:41
aberrations kankur monstrosities so like
0:44
a lot of those enemies that you would
0:46
face in a lot of those old adventures
0:48
they're no longer humanoids
0:51
and because so few antagonists in like
0:55
in official adventures and published
0:57
adventures because so few of them are
0:59
humanoid hold monster affects a
1:02
vanishingly small amount of potential
1:05
enemies so at this point like it was
1:08
already a problem where you could only
1:11
use it against a single creature type
1:14
but because that creature type is now so
1:17
smaller you're just not going to get any
1:19
value out of it so really it doesn't
1:21
make sense to bring the spell anymore
1:23
unless you specifically know that you
1:26
are going to be facing humanoid enemies
