E187 - Class - Monks: Martial Artisans

This episode of the It’s A Mimic! podcast returns with one more Monk subclass, the Way of the Ascendant Dragon, and then looks at an often-forgotten aspect of monastery life: crafting.  In real life, many Monks hone an art or a craft, and focus their energies by dedicating themselves to a single, useful talent.  Dungeons & Dragons addresses this practice in theory, but so few players really lean on this potentially powerful and character-defining aspect of their character. The panel of Dungeon Masters looks into the different artisan’s tools that are available, and offers some insights into what’s useful, and what unique ways there are to capitalize on this aspect of the game.   Cold Open 0:00Intro 0:38Monk Overview: 4:46 Ascendent Dragon: 7:38 Commercial Break:  29:48Artisan’s Tools: 30:40 Social Media Info: 57:31 Artisan’s Tools: 58:39Outro 1:19:48Post-Credit 1:20:05Bloopers 1:22:14    DON’T FORGET TO LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
