Beyond the Tavern Wall

Not everyone is cut out to be adventurers and some people got jobs to do anyway! Your D&D world probably has a bunch of people who aren't magical or don't go and risk everything for the world, so what are they doing to make due in a world that might be unaware of them?----------Check out our socials!Instagram ---- https://www.instagram.com/beyondthetavernwallTikTok ---- https://www.tiktok.com/beyondthetavernwallYouTube ---- https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthetavenwall

Their is a lot of stuff in D&D so somethings are bound to suck right? Well... the opposite is true too!

So you want to play a specific kind of character, but the normal BORING D&D classes won't cut it! You search online to find exactly what you want... but wait... what if your DM doesn't like it? WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT EVEN IS HOMEBREW!?----------Check out our socials!Instagram ---- https://www.instagram.com/beyondthetavernwallTikTok ---- https://www.tiktok.com/beyondthetavernwallYouTube ---- https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthetavernwall

Sometimes it happens, you make a character with a +5 intelligence and you realize... I don't have a +5 intelligence! How do I roleplay that? Well, good thing we are here because that happens with all stats!

We have a confession. We don't actually remember all the rules in D&D. In all honesty, we also have some rules that we think are rules and really just aren't. Rules don't matter when you're having fun right?Check out our socials!Instagram ---- https://www.instagram.com/beyondthetavernwallTikTok ---- https://www.tiktok.com/beyondthetavernwallYoutube ---- https://www.youtube.com/beyondthetavernwall

Every spell can have three components. They need to have something VERBAL. They need to be SOMATIC by waving your hands in a fancy way. They also need something forgotten about a lot and that is spell components! Nobody things of using those! So why do we even have them?

We all know the story. You spend a hours of your weekly D&D session planning how to perform the heist. Everyone has their role, and is handpicked specifically for that role. But immediately as the plan starts... it fails. The Bard is flirting with the servants, the rogue is stealing shiny things they shouldn't, and the paladin is giving unsolicited advice... it always happens. Why is that so common in D&D? Are the dice gods only there to watch our suffering? Find out on this episode of Beyond the Tavern Wall!

Let's face it... D&D combat can be grueling at times. Turns can take forever, players don't pay attention, the DM has 1000 things he planned and wants to get through. It can be rough!

Their are two ways of leveling up in Dungeons and Dragons. One of them is milestone leveling, where if you hit certain points in the campaign you level up. The other one is experience leveling, where each monster has as set amount of experience you gain that you get when beating the monster!

Everyone has seen the meme about alignment charts. Nine Squares arranged in three rows and three columns. You got Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic across the top. Then you have Good, Neutral, and Evil along the side. What does that even mean and does it really matter in the end? Why should we care about morale alignments in our fantasy world anyway?
