Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as the Ultimate Duelist

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted swash and buckle into a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons Ultimate Duelist character build. The duelist is all about fighting one on one. We envision them as being quick of wit and foot. Taking inspiration from of our favorite swashbucklers we modeled this 5E D&D character off of a highway halfling from a book series we enjoy. Let’s get into it.

5E D&D wondrous items

D&D Ideas — Wondrous Items

Welcome once again to the weekly newsletter. This week’s topic is wondrous items, which we discussed in our weekly live chat. We hangout every Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST on Nerdarchy Live to talk about D&D, RPGs, gaming, life and whatever nerdy stuff comes up. The Clockwork Frog is one of our own most wondrous items, which functions as a vehicle for up to two creatures.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Staff Master

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted keep it simple with a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons staff master character build. The comment section is filled with various takes on the concept and most of these incorporate magic with a strong dose of maneuvers but the simplest (and pound for pound best?) weapon in 5E D&D inspired them to explore an equally simplistic approach. The Staff Master character build takes things slow and steady so let’s get into it.

Dreams of Fire

Adapting Dreams of Fire for 5E D&D Plus a New Feat for Sorcerers

Council of Geeks is a nerdy YouTube channel where Author Nathaniel Wayne discusses everything from Doctor Who to the Marvel multiverses, Netflix series, movies and general nerd-dom. But Nathaniel just couldn’t stop at talking about their favorite geeky stories — they needed to write their own! Enter the new electropunk fantasy novel with a fey twist: Dreams of Fire. Having shared my review of the book I feel it’s fairly apparent I enjoyed Dreams of Fire thoroughly. As such, of course my mind began swirling around how to adapt Dreams of Fire into fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons play.

mtg call of the conclave 5e D&D centaur knight

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as an Azorius Templar

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted hoof it through a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons centaur character build. Centaur player characters in 5E D&D are fey creatures, and monstrosities in their Monster Manual version. In the source material Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica centaurs typically associate with the Gruul Clans and Selesnya Conclave. But we wanted to make a centaur knight because frankly it sounds cool. The Azorius Templar character build draws on other aspects of the source material for inspiration. Let’s get into it.

D&D Ideas — Rings

Welcome once again to the weekly newsletter. This week’s topic is rings, which we discussed in our weekly live chat. We hangout every Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST on Nerdarchy Live to talk about D&D, RPGs, gaming, life and whatever nerdy stuff comes up. A Ring of Stoneshielding protects adventurers from the dangerous effect of creatures like basilisks and keeps a hero’s body flexible and limber whenever effects seek to restrain them in place. Originally created for our Garden of Statuary book this ring more recently became one of our monthly Magic Item Cards. Find out more about it here.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Zen Archer

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted calmly take aim at a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. On a whim the Nerdarchy crew wanted to create a wood elf archer build. It appeared to be something players were searching for online. Instead of going with some of the obvious choices we decided to come up with something a bit more unique for the Zen Archer character build for 5E D&D. Let’s get into it.

Gerald Brom elric soul stealer

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Stealer of Souls

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted offer up blood and souls for a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. This Stealer of Souls character build for 5E D&D came about because frankly we just wanted to make a paladin/Hexblade warlock character. While discussing it, a certain albino anti-hero from literature came up, so we leaned into the connection. Let’s get into it.

5E D&D rods staves wands

D&D Ideas — Rods, Staves and Wands

Welcome once again to the weekly newsletter. This week’s topic is rods, staves and wands, which we discussed in our weekly live chat. We hangout every Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST on Nerdarchy Live to talk about D&D, RPGs, gaming, life and whatever nerdy stuff comes up. Rods, staves and wands are all powerful arcane implements but there’s plenty of variety and opportunities for those who don’t use magic to make use of them too. You can get the Nerdarchy Newsletter delivered to your inbox each week, along with updates and info on how to game with Nerdarchy plus snag a FREE GIFT by signing up here.

mtg battle brawler 5E D&D half-orc brawler

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as an Extreme Brawler

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted knuckle down to punch up a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. One of the Fighting Styles in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything creates an opportunity to explore a popular concept and one we think is really fun and cool and now it’s got mechanical support — no reflavoring necessary! Woe be to the unfortunate enemy squaring off
against the Extreme Brawler character whose fists become deadly weapons. These 5E D&D brawlers are tough enough to stay in the fight no matter the odds. Let’s get into it.

mtg beast whisperer 5E D&D beast binder

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Beast Binder

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted attract a menagerie of pets for another fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. Lots of 5E D&D players love befriending and collecting critters throughout their adventures. We thought it would be fun to create a Beast Binder character whose career is focused on discovering new creatures, researching them and gathering pets, allies and friends along the way. Let’s get into it.

D&D Ideas — Potions

Welcome once again to the weekly newsletter. This week’s topic is potions, which we discussed in our weekly live chat. We hangout every Monday evening at 8 p.m. EST on Nerdarchy Live to talk about D&D, RPGs, gaming, life and whatever nerdy stuff comes up. Potions offer a potentially unlimited variety effects and creative Game Masters can get a lot of adventuresome mileage from these consumable magic items. Tonic of Hair Growth is a potion that puts a bit of beardomantic power in anyone’s hands. Bad haircuts are a thing of the past with a bit of this arcane tonic and practitioners of the beardomantic arts can find the added length and volume useful foci for weaving their magic. Originally created for our Beardomancy book this potion more recently became one of our monthly Magic Item Cards. Find out more about it here.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Champion of the Wild

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted get wild with another fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. When we were working on a video about what classes are best for an aasimar character we noticed their traits like Healing Hands and Radiant Soul would work while Wild Shaped. So we got the idea for this Champion of the Wild 5E D&D character as a divine guardian of nature ready to lay down the hurt on those that would despoil the land. Let’s get into it.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Drunken Tactician

Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted take a shot for a very fluid fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character. Sometimes these character builds start with a narrative and sometimes they mash different classes together out of mechanical curiosity. In the case of the Drunken Tactician it’s the latter. This 5E D&D character started with mechanics and built a narrative around them. Let’s get into it.
