Episode Synopsis

In this episode of 8-bit Monsters' Monster Deconstruction for D&D 5e we look over the Giant Rat and touch on the variant a little bit. Going through the giant rat, we'll discuss some skills & traits it has and move on to all of the usual stuff. Better sound as the last episode but still a little stiff in terms of nerves. The episodes get better and smoother as I get more comfortable recording. Speaking of, this episode was recorded back in September of 2020.
New Episodes every 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of every month!
The idea of this podcast is to break monsters down into their bare components: DCR & OCR. These two values will allow us to see how strong they are and to see where D&D got the CR values from. I'm doing this because all too often, players skip right to level 3 to avoid the hell levels and possibly end up dead. Generally, each monster is a balancing act that isn't equal to the final value.
If you like what you hear and want to see this process in a visual medium. Then come stop by my YouTube channel and watch the magic in action. There will be extras not present here in the podcast.
