Damn it DM I’m a Cleric not a First Aid Kit (or spicing up your priests) Player 1: “I’m going to be a fighter.” Player 2: “Me too” Player 3: “Well, I’ll be the mage” Everyone looks at Player 4 All: “You need to be the cleric” Player 4: “No way, I hate clerics” Ever
Have a Drink on Me. On this past episode of the podcast the guys spoke about creating and using taverns and inns. They did a pretty good job and I am going to expand on what they presented with my thoughts and a tavern of my own. In AD&D (at least in my campaigns) the
