Gavel gavel, loves! Today, we welcome Associate Justice Tyler to the bench to talk all about fighting! In Action Surge v. Held Action, we ponder whether a fighter may hold their action surge in addition to their action. Then, in Attack v. Off-Hand Weapon, we discuss whether a character with the Extra Attack feature can make each attack with different hands. We then relax in the [SOON TO BE NAMED! Be sure to vote on our poll!] and talk about ability scores and whether some are inherently less important than others. And finally, we ponder whether DM's should allow PC's to use bonus actions as actions!

Hello, courtroom attendees! We're not adjudicating any cases today, but we instead have a truly lovely chat with John from "Tale of the Manticore," a dark fantasy D&D audiodrama. John tells us all about how he got into roleplaying games, how he produces his podcast, and about playing his all-time favorite character, Maurice the Bugbear wizard! (just kidding :)). We also discuss how to handle fleeing combat--what role does the DM play and what role should the players play?

ALSO: We hit 400 Twitter followers!! We are currently seeking submissions for naming our discussion section of the podcast, currently called "Chamber Chat." Submit your suggestions to us on Twitter, and we'll hold a poll with our favorites!

In today's class, we address the first of the three main portions of D&D gameplay--roleplaying! And joining us is American Steve and his amazing daughter Alaina! We discuss how our characters manifest at the table, the wacky prep we do before sessions to "get into character," and how sometimes your character ends up yelling at your party member in an ogre cafeteria. Hey, it happens. Grab your bookbags and settle in!

In today's class, we look beyond just creating your character and discuss character progression! What is leveling, how do you level up your character, and what happens when you reach a new level? We then dive into some advanced 201 content--multiclassing! Feeling left out because you're a fighter without spells? Think your sorcerer is too squishy and thinking of turning to the gods for some help? We discuss how to take levels in different classes as you level up!

Court is now in session! Today, we welcome back Associate Justice Clint, who has come prepared with all of his many supplements to nerd out with us! First up, in Players v. Find Familiar, we consider whether there is a limit on the range in which a caster can bamf out a familiar. Next, in In re Call Lightning, we discuss whether the spell can be cast indoors and the various complexities that result if you can. We then get comfy, sit back, and relax! We discuss whether the "lose by five or more" concept is, in face, D&D common law, and debate the utility of challenge ratings when creating encounters. BAILIFF!!!

We're back in session! Today, Justices Joe and Ana are joined by the absolutely delightful Hawk Johenson of Prismblade Gaming! We discuss whether the "additional/different" effects of Storm of Vengeance should stack, the limits of the cantrips Shape Water and Mold Earth, the utility of rules lawyers at the table (Excuuuuuse me!), and whether multiclassing can reach a point of absurdity. Gavel gavel!

You can find Hawk on Twitter at @Hawk Johenson and on Youtube with Prismblade Gaming, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKqLbQ7GBcCO7GxujjFKhw.

Wands at the ready!! Today, we're talking all about spellcasting! What the heck is the difference between a spell and a cantrip? What kinds of spells are there? What does it mean to "concentrate" on a spell? What are these pesky things known as "spell slots?" We'll cover all that and more on this extra ~*magical*~ episode of RAW School!

NOTE: There are actually some barbarians that can learn spells, like Totem Warrior. Whoops :). But they're very limited!

Note: Joe makes dumb jokes about shooting/guns that didn't actually sound like jokes. Please don't shoot people :).

On today's episode, the Court is CLOSED--that's right folks. Instead, settle in for a one-on-one with Justices Joe and Ana as they discuss everything from their dream celebrity D&D table, to the most heartwarming moments in D&D, to playing in a party of all wild magic sorcerers.
