In today's show, we go over a few announcements, including our special guest for Sunday (hint:  It's DM Scotty!), and then we dive right into follow-up questions you had about dual wield fighters and mixing and matching milestones and abilities.  Specifically, we talk about net and trident fighters and what to do about balance and players that might outshine others.  Sit down, strap in, and buckle up, as Alex and Joe leave no stone unturned.

In today's video, we discuss three types of FIGHTER BUILDS:  dual-wielding fighters; heavy weapon fighters; and tank/defender fighters.  Sorry RogueIXian!  We all know fighters are the best!  And then, as we go BEHIND THE SCREEN, we talk all about VENUE and a DM's considerations when running games in all sorts of locations, including online.  As always, Joe and Alex break it down with simple, easy to follow advice.
