3 Pillars of DnD Cast

3 Pillars of DnD Cast

By Jesse Klemann

Welcome to the podcast version of the 3 Pillars of DnD Cast, where we discuss the 3 pillars of DnD (Social Interaction, Combat, and Exploration) and how focusing on these can change how you make your characters and campaigns.

In the class episodes we dive deep into the class and talk about each of the abilities. We discuss how the three pillars apply to each and just what we think of them in general.

In the character episodes we each take a pillar, decide on a subclass to exemplify it and make a character based on that subclass.

Welcome to anther episode of the 3 Pillars of DnD Cast, where we discuss the 3 pillars of DnD (Social Interaction, Combat, and Exploration) and how focusing on these can change how you make your characters and campaigns.

In the character episodes we each take a pillar, decide on a subclass exemplifies that and make a character based on that subclass.

We make the character at whatever level gets the general idea across for what we are going for, which tends to fall between levels 7 to 12.  We use the standard array for ability points so characters have strengths and weaknesses.

This episode we discuss three subclasses (Shadow Magic, Storm Sorcery, Wild Magic) of the sorcerer class and we make characters focusing on the 3 pillars.
