HELLO GAMERS, I’m Bill Cavalier and I’m here to help YOU get the MOST out of YOUR game. Your DM probably has a life coach. Why can’t your character?
I’M HERE TO FULFILL THAT NEED.
So if you’re struggling with a killer DM, or an overwhelming array of character choices, or maybe another clueless player who doesn’t know enough to bring the proper snacks to the game, drop me a line.
But remember: There ARE stupid questions. This consultation is gratis, and The Cavalier does NOT waste his time on half-elven shenanigans. Only those dilemmas that rise to the level of ADVENTURE will be addressed.
So make sure you’ve put on your big-boy pants before you send me a question.
Dungeon Bastard,
Thank you so much for your dedication and devotion to helping players and characters grow a pair.
My Dungeon Master doesn’t understand me! He puts characters over gods! What do do?
TO do, not do do!

Why does the Dungeon Bastard wield a bat’leth? Why not a Scimitar or Bastard Sword?
Look at the bat’leth. It is most likely a X3 crit weapon. His Bastardliness obviously wants maximum blood splatter and decapitation, so the choice was clear.
Dear Dungeon Bastard,
I’m heading to a gaming convention and looking forward to trying my hand again with the RPGA. The problem is that Lord Whitecross (naming your execution-axe-wielding frothing-at-the-mouth eater-of-the-dead gnoll barbarian something fancy :pinky finger up: helps me get past both cautious DMs and announce my name without immediately having to roll initiative) has had bad RPGA experiences at a convention before. Despite the RPGA rule requiring you to consent to players doing damage to you (bwahahaahahaha), I just can’t seem to find a table that’s not filled with elves, new players, & people doing it wrong.
Without cloning myself, how do I improve my chances of having a bad ass party (of bad asses) show up for Con-exclusive loot & plunder?

Having experienced similar RPGA issues, the best solution is to bring friends and all play together. 5 of us played dwarves of the Stonesplitter clan, with 2 barbarians, a cleric, a rogue, and a wizard. (If you think a dwarf wizard isn’t any good, you haven’t seen one cast haste on the rest of the dwarves in the party prior to them chopping a Frost Giant down like a tree.) However, unless you are able to get a group of 6 friends together, plan on being stuck with the worst party and players ever. It is then your job to be a one man killing machine.
Oh Holy Bastard,
I’m currently in a group where another player, whom is normally chaotic neutral, is playing a lawful-good paladin. ThACO be damned, I swear he isn’t doing it right! His idea of a paladin is a nancy-boy who is intolerant of everything that breaths and doesn’t wear a holy symbol. My question to you is: Is he playing a paladin correctly? I don’t need my Mage killed in his sleep again for knowing Infernal and Abyssal (>.<)
Dear Dungeon Bastard,
I’m a fairly new to D&D, I started out playing 4th Edition on and off about 2 years ago. I have a fairly decent connection to a group but we always seem to lose a few players due to lack of group synergy (rudeness mainly or they die horribly and just leave in a huff). I have tried to get my sister to join my group which already has a female player, I am curious if there is some way I could convince her to tag along even for one game to see if she even likes it?

Dear Bastard,
What are your thoughts on the Rogue class. I’m about to start playing another 4.0 campaign and was wondering how I should play the class. Do I concentrate on more damage? Do I concentrate on role play that involves swindling, stealing, sneaking, and over all screwing my team? Or should I simply sit back in a dark corner, wait for my team to kill the monsters, then loot the chests?
