While optimizing a character to be overpowered can take the fun out of the average game of D&D, having a underwhelming characters can limit player agency and turn an epic adventure into an uninspiring one.

On this lesson of Detentions and Dragons, Josh and Matt talk about the Metagaming for beginners, what metagaming is, why it isn't all bad, and actionable steps novice players can do to give their characters an edge without comprising the tone of their character.
