All episodes from the first campaign have been converted to podcast with podcasts of the new campaign due to be released the on Thursdays a week after the episode airs on Twitch. If you don't feel like you have time to sit down and watch for 4 hours a week you have the option to listen to it at...

I'm playing an archer ranger in my current campaign and I don't even drop my bow, I just draw a sword for melee. You only need one hand to hold a weapon, even if it requires two hands to use meaning I have a free hand to use for melee combat, sheathing my sword when I want to go ranged again...

Please reread the rules I quoted: "if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you don’t die until your rage ends, and you die then only if you still have 0 hit points." This specific rule overrides the general rule for death saves but only for a level 14+ Zealot Barbarian. Using this...

I've seen a few of these posts recently and the thoughts that always come to mind when I read them are: It is a 6th level spell, so unless your game starts at level 11+ your character will spend enough time without it that you shouldn't make it the focus of your character. It is only active...
