To be blunt: D&D has a lot of deities. So it should be no surprise that there are lots of options for Clerics. Depending on what deity you devote yourself to, you could end up projecting domes of magical twilight or spend your days forging armor out of your own sweat and tears. With a…
Come child, come see if the divine life of a Cleric is the right path for you. All that is needed is a willingness to help others, devotion to one of the many deities of our world, and the strength of will to crush a few kobold skulls when the situation calls for it. Sorry,…
D&D feats. What are they? Who gets them? Can I buy some? In a nutshell, D&D feats are extra bonus features that every character gets as they rise through the levels. Feats give skills, advantages, flavor, and sometimes a cheeky ability score rise. They help flesh out your character and add to the game’s roleplay….
Druids are wrapped in a cloak of mystery as wielders of magic known only to Mother Nature. They’re strangely in tune with animals, plants, and their surroundings. This sense of wonder is part of what makes it such an attractive class to play in Dungeons and Dragons, but the hardest part of creating your Druid…
Circle of the Moon is arguably the most popular choice for Druids, especially those still fairly new to the game. However, popularity doesn’t mean that it’s an easy or basic Circle. It’s actually one of the most powerful and versatile Circles, giving your Druid a real edge. If you’re the kind of Druid that likes…
Subclasses add so much depth to a character, and Druids have some of the most fun out there. With access to exclusive spells and abilities, there is so much to explore. For Druids, subclasses are referred to as Circles, and they represent the path you follow. There are six subclasses for you to choose from,…
Druids are incredible – it’s a fact that you can’t argue. They are completely in tune with nature and their surroundings, wielding it in a way that no one else can. Their spells are powerful and versatile and lead to exceptional support and combat builds. One of the great things about the Druid is that…
One of the most versatile classes out there, Druids are probably the most exciting spellcasters to play. They can work as scouts, support, strikers, controllers, and so much more. The flexibility within the class means that you have the power to create incredible and unstoppable builds. At their core, they might feel very similar to…
Choosing to level in more than one class can be complicated. If done incorrectly, you can end up with a compromised build – one that’s not great in any single area. Like with most things in DnD, there are near-limitless options. This can intimidate new players. To make things easier, we’ve created a list of…
DnD’s Rogues are a diverse bunch. There’s a ton of variety once you consider all the different subclasses, feats, backgrounds, and races. But a handful of things ring true for just about every great Rogue. An affinity for stealth, dexterity, quick wits, and nimble hands all spring to mind when we think about this sneaky…
There’s a lot of historical inspiration behind the Swashbuckler, both fictional and non-fiction. And thankfully, this classic source material is well-represented in the 5e mechanics. The bravado, bluster, and superior dueling of the Swashbuckler make them an exciting class in combat and cunning schemer in social situations. There’s a lot of fun here for players…
“No way, scum!” the guard captain barks, “These papers are out of date and none of you look right.” You step forward and carefully modulate your voice to sound like local nobility. When you speak, your companion’s eyes widen almost as much as the guard’s. You’ll have to explain your time with the Actor’s Guild…

Fancy getting all ghost-like? Or being a spectral ninja? Then the D&D Way of the Astral Self monk might be for you. The first of our Monk monastic traditions from our Monk Subclass Guide. Simply because it’s alphabetical, if there was the Way of the Aardvark Monk, then it would be second. Anyway, I digress….
Way of the Shadow Monk, they’re a sulky bunch. A ninja, even. If you’re a little bored of playing a Rogue, but you still love the sneaking and surprising, then you should definitely look at playing this Monk subclass. It’s loaded with features that allow you to be at one with the shadows, diving and…
Way of the Kensei or ‘Monk with Weapons‘ is for those of you who love playing the punchy Monk archetype but can’t let go of using weapons. The emphasis for this particular D&D Monk subclass is weapons, a nudge in the direction of a fighter, but with more punch and kick. This especially bodes well…
All Monks are different, especially as they reach level three, where you choose which Monk archetype or monastic tradition you fancy. There are ten main Monk subclasses, and I’m going to give you a run-down on every single one. Whether you fancy ‘traditional’ style Monks like the Way of the Open Hand or Doctor Death…
The Warlock knew her patron was somewhere in the murky waters before her. There was a loud splash from far away, and a sword came whirling towards the Warlock, sticking in the sand at her feet. “Oh… thank you! I love presents.” Spellcasters are usually pigeonholed into one party role: maybe they focus on damage…
Picking a class can be hard. So why pick? Multiclassing lets you play as two classes, and Warlock is one of the most potent options for one of your two picks. If you are tired of slinging spells and want to start cleaving orcs in half, multiclassing is the way to go! Many Warlock quirks…
Names have power, and Warlocks know this best. Signing a pact with a patron means they know you on an uncomfortably intimate level. Rest assured, your name will always be kicking around somewhere in the back of their head as they sit, ready to pull on your leash whenever they need something. Warlocks tend to…
Cold rain hammers down the high valley, turning the village pathways into rivers of mud. People stare wide-eyed from their doorways. They know why you’re here. The heretics swept this way, and now the Emperor has sent you, his Inquisitive, to separate the wolves from the sheep… What’s An Inquisitive? The 5e Inquisitive is an…
