Class Guide

The Blood Hunter is a man changed by tragedy, who has been driven to the extreme fringe of societial kindness as to alter himself to become a monster who will hunt monsters. Geralt of Rivia from the popular video game and TV Series The Witcher is the perfect example of a Blood Hunter. A ruthless and single-minded individual whose sole purpose is to root out those they consider to be monsters and destroy them. Blood Hunters are powerful martial combatants who are proficient in the weirding ways of blood magic, a unique and powerful form of sorcery. Follow this [...]

A late addition to the game, Artificer is one of the extra classes inspired by past editions of the game set in a not strictly medieval setting. First introduced in the first Eberron book, and updated in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, the Artificer combines magic with technology to provide a diverse and effective class, capable of supporting a large party in the most dangerous of circumstances. Depending on your setting, artificers can be purely magical creationists or steampunk tinkerers, whichever fits the flavor. Like wizard, this is a very complicated class to play, and a difficult one to play [...]

Druids are servants of nature. They are empaths and hunters, in tune with the natural order. They are fierce predators, and shepherds, depending on the situation. Druids are divine casters with a wide range of options available to them, though their magic is a lot less flashy than other full casters like Wizards and Clerics. Follow this guide to discover how to best optimize the skills, weapons, features, and abilities for a D&D 5e Druid class character build. While the options presented here may be the optimal build for a druid (in my opinion), the beauty of D&D character [...]

Bards are one of, if not the most, versatile class in the game, filling in as a melee, ranged, support, or caster depending on their build. Bards are a “Jack-of-all-trades” class that has the potential to do all things, though not nearly as well as a more specialized character. Follow this guide to discover how to best optimize the skills, weapons, features, and abilities for a D&D 5e Bard class character build. While the options presented here may be the optimal build for a bard (in my opinion), the beauty of D&D character creation is that the only limit [...]

Sorcerers have an innate talent for magic. Where Wizards gain magic through intense study, Sorcerers have a natural aptitude for casting spells, requiring nothing other than their willpower and a few arcane components or a spellcasting focus. Sorcerers typically have an exotic bloodline tie to some sort of fantastical creature, either draconic, fey, or demonic, that lends them the ability to harness natural forces and transmute them into spells. Follow this guide to discover how to best optimize the skills, weapons, features, and abilities for a D&D 5e Sorcerer class character build. While the options presented here may be [...]

Rangers are a middle ground between Fighters and Druids. They have martial prowess few other classes can match, but also possess an intimate relationship with their environment, using the land as a tool to stalk their quarry, ensnare their prey, and gain an advantage over their foes. The classic ranger is a camouflaged archer hiding in the woodlands, but this class offers much more than the classic outlander hunter. Rangers can be stalkers in the dark places of a crowded city, guides in brutal mountain passes, and expert monster slayers who know how to exploit the weakness of the [...]

Paladins are holy warriors, called by their patron deities to carry out their divine will on earth. These knights are charged with protecting the weak, defending the ideals of law and peace, and hunting down evil wherever it rears its ugly head, and destroying it. The paladin equips themselves with weapons of war, but their ultimate goal is peace. Paladins wield divine magic that can bolster their allies and heal wounds, and this magic can also be channeled into powerful displays of radiant energy that scours shadows from dark places. Follow this guide to discover how to best optimize [...]
