DumpStat - Dungeons and Dragons Podcast

Everyone enjoys a good power trip when playing your favorite video game or destroying the opposition at family game night. But what happens when you have an overly optimized player that destroys combat encounters at your table in DnD? Maybe their sneaking ability is so high they're never caught, or they're so smooth that they talk themselves out of any situation? Maybe it's time to sit down and talk about Power Gamers then. We'll explore why you may have a power gamer at your table, and how you resolve the expectations between them and your game of D&D.

Tempest Clerics wield the power of the storm and zap anyone who stands in their way. What are the best of these domains? Stay tuned to find out!
