Question(s) answered this episode:
1. Can contradictory characters (that go against established norms for race/class/personality combinations) be fun?
2. What are your thoughts on how ranged combat works in D&D and other fantasy games? For example, bows always use Dexterity and melee weapons are usually Strength. Could the system be more realistic without making it less fun?
