Creation of the Golden Chimera – Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
Long ago I came up with this creature. Inspired by the regular Chimera I set out to make something personnel and cool. I never truly gave it a name because it was more of a unique creature in my mind then one of many. But over the years the idea has changed and grew.
Now Nerdarchy did a video on the chimera For Dungeons and Dragons, you can watch that below, and I talked about my version. The Golden Chimera like the regular has the head of a lion and a dragon. The lion looks more regal than vicious. The dragon is that of a gold dragon rather than that of a red dragon.

5th Edition – The Warlock: Are You Playing It Right?
One of the grumblings I sometimes hear or read about fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons concerns the warlock class. Almost always these center around the fact the warlock has so few spell slots, only one initially and then only two until 11th level, eventually ending with a maximum of four at 17th level. While it’s true the warlock does not have as many spell slots as other spellcasting classes, and it’s true the warlock does not have the diversity of spells available to many classes, the warlock has so many unique abilities I am left wondering if some players simply are not sure of how to play a warlock.

Ecology of the Mage Eater – Fast and Dirty Monsters
Spell Casters of the worlds beware. The Mage Eater lurks above stalking and hunting lone travelers with magical abilities. I present to you the Fast and Dirty Monster: The Mage Eater.
Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition presents many useful creatures to use against your player characters but perhaps that is not enough. Fast and Dirty Monsters is a series where we take a concept and convert an already created monster and give it a whole new life as a completely different monster. In this edition we have taken the Coalt, a generally good monster and turn it into something a little more vial and monster-like.

Fast and Dirty Monsters – Ecology of the Skleee
Greetings, Nerdarchist Ted here and and today I present to you a new race and its ecology. I offer up the Skleee. These are from our Fast and Dirty monsters series. Tune in below to see how the race came about. Lets see how they stack up against other creatures in Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. 
The Skleee get their name from the sound they make when startled. I would like to thank Jerel Fontenot for his suggestion for the name and concept for the name. The Sklee are an insectoid race that combines several insectoid concepts together. They have a hive mind like that of ants as well as their ability to function together as a unit.
In addition their great carrying capacity is inherent within all Skleee. But they also posses the abilities of termites in chewing through would and other things to burrow and make their dwellings.

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition – Custom Race – Boarks
Nerdarchist Ted here and I get to present you an entirely new race created by Nerdarchy. Over on YouTube we do a video series called Fast and Dirty Monsters.
We take an idea for a new monster and open up our Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition Monster Manual and show you how to take a thing that already exists and change it to match our creation.
You can jump below to watch the video of how we made these pig people.
Boarks in 5th edition
Boarks are a race of gluttonous pig people. The term pig headed would most apply in more ways then one. They are possessed of an tapped well of determination. Once they are set upon a path they will not waver short of their own decision to alter their course.
Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition – World Building – Gnar-Kee-Tis
Nerdarchist Ted here and I have been running my Dungeons and Dragons campaign for around 8 months. The inspiration for my game came from one of our earlier videos.
Well now that we are well into the thick of the campaign I figured I would give you some background information on my blood demon. I am not going to give any stats as I am not sure whether the players or their characters will ever want to try and slay him.
I would hate to spoil the surprise for my players in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. As many of them I would guess read this.

Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition – Race – Catfolk
With the amount of attention that cats and kittens get on the internet I am surprised that the catfolk are not even in the monster manual let alone have the stats to use them as player characters. So let me fix that for you. Here is my take on catfolk for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition with a little bonus.
Catfolk in 5th edition
Catfolk are nomadic hunters. They have no land that they can call a determinant home in an of the known Dungeons and Dragons realms. As long as they have food and family they can be secure in any place.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Simian Adventurer with this New Race Option
Here for your perusal is a custom race for fifth edition Dungeon & Dragons — simians. Deep in the untamed forest lives a race of intelligent apes and monkeys. Whether they exist due to natural evolution or as the result of a druid who began awakening them no one knows for sure. One thing is known — they have staked out their own territory and guard it fiercely. Simians are fierce at whatever they do. They are fiercely loyal if you have gained their trust. They are fierce competitors if you feel the need to engage them in combat. Those filled with compassion love with the heat of a volcano. And lastly those who have been wronged hunt down the one who wronged them until the end of their days. Being creatures of nature simians build their homes in trees and at times you might look into the trees and see nothing out of the ordinary as they try to blend their homes into the natural surroundings for protection. They live off of the land and are a part of it.
Svirfneblin Bard – D&D Character build 5th edition – Outkast
Greetings Nerdarchists. Nerdarchy is looking to launch another game into our schedule. If you missed our session zero feel free to watch the video below. My character build for that Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game is a deep gnome bard.
Now bards in previous editions really did not appeal to me. I think before 5th edition I had only played one bard in approximately 20 years of playing Dungeons and Dragons. 5th edition on the other hand really changed my mind. I have played in less than 10 campaigns in the year since the release of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition and 2 of those characters have been bards. So what does that say about them?
Dungeons and Dragons character build
So with this character build for 5th edition, my goal was to make a well rounded character. He has a few things that he would be good at, excel at really because of expertise but be a support character all around. As this race class combination is a sub-optimal character build it fits.
Otherworldly Patron – Custom Warlock – Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
Nerdarchy did a video talking about warlocks and we did a video talking about dragon familiars. On that second video we talked about the possibility of a Warlock choosing a Dragon as their otherworldly Patron.
In order to go into detail on this you have to examine what the warlock is in 5th edition. The warlock is a being being imbued with magical power from another source. The power extended to the warlock comes with some unwritten price that the player and the dungeon master can work out or through before and during game play.
