Session 8: Character Creation 101

This week Gabe and Orion take a step back from class analysis, and enter the new player seat to go through the process of creating a character. Listen as we go over some character races, choosing classes, generating ability scores, backgrounds and basic backstory, equipment, and some basic level up processes. We used D&D Beyond to organize our characters, however it's just as easy to use purely the PHB races, classes, and their recommended process in creating a character. This episode is definitely less organized than previous episodes, so hopefully it is helpful in your character creation.

This week, Gabe and Orion talk about an unofficial class *cue collective gasp*. That class being Mathew Mercer's Blood Hunter, quite possibly the only class that's more edge and goth than the rogue! Listen as we talk about the ancient somewhat forbidden magics and abilities featured in the main Blood Hunter class, delve into the esoteric powers of each of it's four archetypes, two lightning rounds, and of course some of our ideas on how you could use this in your next campaign as player or dungeon master.
