On this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss roleplaying in combat. Play acting and character development frequently halt when initiative is rolled, which means losing a huge opportunity to roleplay. We discuss ways to make characters and creatures feel alive and interesting while you're rolling dice and tossing fireballs.
