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 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.
Building a 5E D&D Character
I must admit I’ve only played in two sessions of 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons so far, but I’m really digging it. Two sessions, two different characters two under lining themes, dwarves and sub-optimal builds. My first character for D&D 5E is a dwarven wizard.
This character was a blast to build as well as play.
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.
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.
Why I’ll Be Playing 5E D&D for the Foreseeable Future

Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Monster vs. Monster! Beholder and Lich
Hello again loyal fans and newcomers alike. It is I Nerdarchist Ted here to bring you another article on Dungeons and Dragons Monsters.

Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — Lycanthropes! Wererats, Wereboars and Werewolves, Oh My!
When it comes to Dungeons and Dragons Monsters the lycanthropes are a diverse lot. Not as much as demons and devils, but there are a lot of them. Basically if there is animal someone has turned it into a werecreature. The core werebeasts are- wererat, wereboar, werewolf, weretiger, and werebear. Then from there I’ve seen everything from wereseals to weredragons.
Your lycanthropes really can fill nearly any niche or role in your gaming world. Whether you need dungeons and dragons monsters to skulk and sneak, be savage and brutal, or benign and gentle werebeasts really do have you covered.

Dungeons & Dragons Monsters — The Voracious Troll Eats Adventurers as Appetizers
Hello Fans it is Ted and hopefully welcome back to another edition of Dungeons and Dragons Monsters. Today I will hopefully broaden your horizons in the views of the Voracious Troll.
Trolls are often used as just mindless killing machines, hell bent on killing and eating and the D&D Monster Manual says that they can be used as just that, but there is no reason to stop at what the book says.
