Character Class Warfare

Chelsea Maki and Chris Bodily join the Dark Corner to debate each character class in D&D. First, we get to know Chris and Chelsea. How much experience have they with Dungeons and Dragons? Also, have they played similar role-playing games? Furthermore, we find out about their creative projects. Chris is an illustrator under the moniker Hatrobot. Meanwhile, Chelsea makes graphic art under Chelsea Maki Creative. Also, they coach and perform improv comedy. In part one, we debate wilderness types. For instance, we look at the barbarian, the druid and the ranger. Mostly, we address how well each type deals with a wild setting. Also, how does each class work with other members of the party? In part two, we discuss the classes under god and country. For instance, the cleric, the fighter and the paladin concern themselves with war and conflict. Therefore, we cover effectiveness in a party as well as how fun the character is to play. Furthermore, we compare spell casting abilities of each. In part three, magic users take the spotlight. Therefore, we compare the features of the bard, the sorcerer and the wizard. For instance, we go deep into how each class learns magic. Also, we share points on how a magic user can contribute to the party. In part four, we cover the leftovers. The monk, the rogue and the warlock belong to the outsiders and outcastes. Each character class in this group possesses unique features unlike even one another. For instance, the monk focuses on unarmed combat. Meanwhile, the rogue balances stealth and skill. Finally, the warlock gains power through a pact with a powerful patron. Ultimately, we pit the winners of each group against one another to come up with the best overall character class to play in Dungeons and Dragons. You will have to listen to find out the result. Also, a special thanks to the We Got This Podcast with Mark and Hal. We pretty much borrowed their format for this episode. Finally, DJ Evil Dave plays you out on the dark track. Sebastion Komor performs Dragons Lair, an electronic instrumental with cinematic overtones. Next episode is our World Goth Day Special.
