The D&D 5e Character Build this week is a collaboration with the amazing artist Randall Hampton! We went live on his Twitch stream where I presented a build for a character built around using, that's right, a whip, while he drew his interpretation of what I was presenting. We had a lot of fun with it and I hope you will too. FYI: there's a longer than usual conversation at the beginning and end but the time of the actual build presentation itself is fairly typical :).

Most people would argue that you can't or shouldn't try to play a character in D&D 5e that's dedicated exclusively (or almost exclusively) to healing. It's not efficient. It's not optimal. It doesn't really work. This episode is dedicated to all those who are unsatisfied with that paradigm.

The Law of Surprise has been declared! But how does it work in D&D 5e, exactly? And more importantly, what kinds of things do players and DMs need to keep in mind when playing as and with a character who wants to stealth and surprise as often as possible?

Also, a Quick Ruling on Verbal Components of spells (can they be whispered?)
