Famous Wizards of Distinction — Tenser

Greetings my fellow Nerdarchists. In the weeks and months to come I am going to highlight famous wizards of distinction by delving into the backgrounds and spells of magic-users . I have already completed articles on Leomund, the nerdy prepper and Otiluke the Siege Alchemist. Now I am turning my thoughts towards Tenser. Why Tenser? Why now? Well I chose him by accessing my on board bio-computer with search parameters of “whomever I feel like.” It spit back Tenser for an answer. Without any input to the contrary I’ll focus on famous wizards of distinction from RPGs but that does not mean I am excluding the backgrounds and spells of magic users from books, movies, and comics. Give me a compelling example of wizardry and I’ll write it up.

Customization of 5E D&D Characters with Fabulous Feats

Hello my fellow gamers, I’m here with some more info for you. Today I want to talk about Dungeons & Dragons character customization and feats. Throughout the evolution of D&D there have been many ways to add flavor, backstory and character customization. In second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons you had proficiencies both weapon and nonweapon and these translated mainly to weapon proficiencies and skills in third edition D&D and beyond.

Uncommon 5E D&D Races — Dragonborn

D&D Dragonborn D&D Dragonborn are back baby.

They first appeared a standard player character race with the release of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons. Now this was a fairly polarizing effect actually one of many from that edition.

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition has brought the dragonborn back along with the tiefling. To be honest with you I’ve kind meh on the dragonborn as a player character race, but for the purpose of this article I’m going to do my best to remain objective.

You Gotta Have Faith to Play a 5E D&D Cleric

Welcome to Nerdarchy with you this time is Nerdarchist Ted.  Among our group I am the resident Cleric when we play Dungeons and Dragons. Many players look at the cleric as the parties healer or slave and that they have to do what the party says.  But especially after the introduction of Charisma being an important role in a clerics stat they can easily become a central character and make a great party leader.

Dungeons and Dragons

When you are a cleric you are a divine conduit of your gods divine power.  You wield this power as a smith wields a hammer.  Now some worlds have gods that are very active and some worlds have gods that are far removed from the world.
