Robot Chicken creators play on WotC vidcast

[Nikosandros]

Well to be fair... the two players who have made the most melee attacks (the goliath and the warforged) I believe are both completely new players to D&D (and it sounds like rpgs in general). So getting their feet wet on just learning how to attack and roll damage in itself is a good thing for them to become comfortable with... before telling them all about the special attacks they can make with at-wills and such.

It seems that in general Chris is just presenting a simplified version of the game. In part 9, after the encounter is over, he tells them that they can spend healing surges, but makes no mention of the fact that the bard could boost those. Additionally when asked about using spending them in combat, he answers that they can't.

the DM commentary is awesome! I'm totaly stealing the dead floating beholder full of spiders idea!

I think, I'm going to use a dead spider filled with beholders instead ...
