Season 2 Episode 2 - Wizarding 101: How To Be A Spellcaster
What do you think of when you hear the word spellcaster? Many think of Harry Potter or Gandalf, but that's not necessarily the case. Spellcasters in D&D can be varied and have many uses depending on the needs of the group. We'll take a look at what a spellcaster really is, give some examples of the kind of roles they fill in parties, and discuss which martial classes can choose subclasses to cast spells. Then we'll rank all five pure spellcasting classes by how easy they are to play on this episode of Crypt of Knowledge.
