Classes
This half-caster class is pretty weak spell-wise, but has a more divine use for their spell slots.
What is a paladin.
This die is well known as the best way to kill an actual player in D&D
What is the d4
This core ability is central to many melee builds, but don't forget to remove your damage modifier.
What is two weapon fighting.
This half-caster class is quite the steampunk. Too bad it still pulls from the wizard spell list.
What is an Artificer
One of these little green guys with a stick can one shot a wizard with some good damage rolls and a crit.
What is a goblin.
This ranger subclass is well known in the community for making a useless class even worse.
What is Beast Master
This die is commonly used for damage by Barbarians, but is statistically worse than it's two younger cousins.
What is the d12
While many DMs rule it as an automatic success, in certain situations, this event can still result in failure.
What is a natural 20
This core Artificer ability is quite fun, but can be hard to tinker with for newer players.
What are Infusions / Artificer infusions
This creature is famously the target of every bard's seduction. Pro tip: it won't end well.
What is a dragon
This full caster class is the only one to not have full access to spell slots above 5th level. At least Daddy's on their side.
What is a Warlock.
This die is only used by a single subclass in 5th, and is renowned by the community for being a waste of a die.
What is the d100
Repelling blast may sound like it combos well with this core ability, but a rules technicality ruins your opportunity for fun.
What is an attack of opportunity.
This core addition to every class allowed for some more customization, but it wasn't as flashy as all the new subclasses.
What are optional class features
This classic D&D monster is always there when the DM needs it. Plus, it's pretty fun to say you killed a player with an attack called 'pseudopod.'
What is a Mimic
This magical class is the only one in 5th that lacks a melee-dedicated subclass. At least they have fireball.
What is Sorcerer
The d8 is used as an inspiration die for this class, during any of these levels.
What is a level 5-9 bard.
This cantrip is widely regarded as the game's worst, but a rules update in 5.5 made it playable, if not a little niche
What is true strike
This subclass is a callback to a classic sorcerer build, but the class that got it a little more muscular than you'd expect.
What is Path of Wild Magic
This big blue blob is pretty scary on its own, but put it at the bottom of a trapdoor and now you've got yourself a real problem
What is a Gelatinous cube
These two classes are polar opposites, but a musical subclass for one of them makes this multi class quite playable.
What is Wizard and Barbarian.
This first level spell holds the crown for the most dice rolled by a first level spell slot: six, to be exact.
What is color spray
This monster's passive ability may sound quite irritating at first, but a closer read of the statblock reveals that it often weakens the own creatures ray attacks.
What is a beholder
These fun new magic items are just begging to be added to a badass criminal character.
What are magic tatoos
Someone in the party is always one of these shifty creatures.
What is a changeling
