It’s A Mimic! - E132 - Class - Sorcerers: Magical Font-asies
play

08/03/21 • 76 min

Sorcerers in Dungeons & Dragons are at the mercy of limited resources, long rest recharges, and lackluster flavour... until now. This week on the It’s A Mimic! podcast, the panel of Dungeon Masters sit down and discuss the ins and outs of what Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything has done for sorcerers. The Aberrant Mind and the Clockwork Soul get the spotlight, as well as the new sorcerer spells and the optional rules!

Happy Holidays!

Have you ever wondered why there's a 10-foot pole on the equipment list? Or how to craft Potions of Healing? Are you curious about why Alchemist's Fire is so famous, but so seemingly useless, or why poisons aren't being used more often? Have you scratched your head over how big a chest really is, which container is the best bang for your buck, or whether or not an iron pot is an effect smashing implement?

We're break the format a little this year to bring you a special mailbag episode on Christmas instead of an actual play! Our most frequently asked question is about using mundane items in Dungeons and Dragons, specifically the ones from the Player's Handbook, and why the items in the Adventuring Gear section are so important. Well, Dan and Adam sat down for this whopping 3-hour episode, and broke down all the tools, kits, and regular items that they could find, and what possible applications there are for them. You may just be surprised about how useful soap, oil, and a climber's kit are...

In this week's episode, the panel of Dungeon Master (Adam, Megan, and Terry) take a step back and ready their actions to draw blades in one-on-one combat with the honourable Bronze Dragons. These scaly sea-faring scions of chivalry are the knights of dragonkind, holding glory and honour high. As is our fashion on this podcast we break down their stats, discuss how we'd use them in a fight, and a discussion breaks out about how we'd use them for roleplaying!
Before the end of the episode, some solid ideas for bronze dragons in your campaigns are thrown around while Terry tries to figure out how to work in his tried and true "Drop and Land on them" combat strategy. The group then gets into what makes good good and the existential crisis devolves from there. Also... Kobolds!
