Fighter: Episode 1 - Kids Committing Crimes
SOUND: SOFT, TENSE GUITAR MUSIC GUNNER Welcome to Ravinova, a land of monsters mysteries and most of all mischief. Here, the people are warm and colorful, and the winters long and harsh. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, songs sung and silenced, stories written and forgotten. But the one evergreen force of the land is the Temny forest which reaches out to every corner of Ravinova. The creatures that call this place home, always have a trick up their sleeve. Our tale begins near the craggy coast to the south, in a lively village hidden in the mountains. Today the village of Hornetina is celebrating their midwinter festival, a celebration where villagers don monstrous costumes and chase off the evil spirits of winter and welcome in spring. Will our heroes be able to defeat these wintry demons or will their village fall into eternal winter? SOUND: MUSIC ENDS GUNNER All right, hello welcome to class feature the show in which we feature classes from D&D 5E. I am your DM Gunner Gunn, they/them pronouns. HANNAH And you’ll be playing the DM today. GUNNER And I will be playing today like I think I said. I don’t remember. HANNAH Yeah. You did. GUNNER Here we are. They say it couldn’t be done but we’re doing it. We’re recording a D&D podcast. SPENCER It’s a feat none has ever taken CALLIE And no one ever will again.

She/they pronouns and I will be playing Pip Squeak, the Owlin Cavalier fighter today, she/her pronouns for Pip. SPENCER Thank you Hannah. My name is Spencer, he/him pronouns. I’m going to be playing Kin-of-Moss, firbolg fighter and he uses also he/him pronouns. HANNAH That’s so...

GUNNER Hello, I am Gunner Gunn and this is Class Feature the show where we feature each dungeons and dragons 5e class with adventures inspired by Slavic folklore. Before we begin, let’s all introduce ourselves. I’m Gunner Gunn. I use they/them pronouns and I’ll be playing the role of dungeon master today. HANNAH I can go next. My name is Hannah. I use she/they pronouns and today I’m going to be playing Pip Squeak the Owlin fighter, subclass cavalier, and Pip Squeak uses she/her pronouns. SPENCER Hi. I’m Spencer he/him and I’m going to be playing the Firbolg battle master Kin-of-Moss; that’s a hyphenated little thing there, who uses he/him pronouns or just it and looking forward to doing so. CALLIE My name is Callie. I use she/her pronouns and I’m playing Odette, who also uses she/her pronouns, who is a goblin arcane archer. GUNNER Awesome. Excellent. Alright this is more of a supplementary episode we’ve got here where we’re going to go over more of the mechanics of our character build just so we don’t get too bogged down during actual gameplay and have people be like "Whoa, why can they do that?". If you’re ever wondering that, this is the place to be, so yeah, we’re just going to go in and let you know what’s happening on our character sheets before we play. Alright, so first off: the basics that I have set up for everyone is that we’re all fighters. And by we I mean the three people that are not me are all fighters. HANNAH Oh, so you mean everyone in the town that we’re going to be in are all fighters? GUNNER Everyone is a fighter. Everyone. We’re starting at level eight. We’re using the standard array from the player’s handbook just to simplify things. You know, just so everything’s on the level and we’ll be starting GUNNER (cont’d) your starting equipment for your class and five hundred gold pieces worth of items per rules of starting at a later level adventure kind of thing. So yeah we’ll be covering people’s subclasses because that’s what we’re really highlighting here is the variety in each class. So, yeah we can jump into what everyone’s doing, how they do it, and what the heck that means. Hannah do you want to go first? HANNAH Sure. I can go first. Like I said at the top, Pip Squeak is a cavalier, so you know, what’s at the heart of a cavalier, if not their mount? And Pip Squeak’s mount is called Mimi. This is not class relevant, just a cute fact to hold on to for later. The things with a cavalier, I’ve written and they are very small, but you get the Born to Saddle Feature, which just means I have advantage on saving throws to avoid falling from a mount. If I don’t make that save, I still land on my feet, I believe. GUNNER Ooh, nice. ...
