    Escapist Podcast - Tabletop: 003: Basic D&D and the 5th Edition Launch

    5E is attempting to solve that with its minimum ability scores. Want to be a paladin? You better have 15 strength and 15 charisma then! You don't? You're going to have to invest your ability score upgrades into achieving it before you can take on that new class. I also strongly suspect that...

    I go to school in Burlington, VT. for Game Design.
