D&D players reveal most predictable character gimmicks in the game Wizards of the CoastThe drow Rangers, kender Rogues, and human Fighters of the world, beware, as D&D players have revealed the reasons behind the game\u2019s most predictable character gimmicks. Dungeons & Dragons players have near-limitless options for making characters. Despite this, some character archetypes are incredibly popular, with a human Fighter named Bob being the most popular character type on D&D Beyond. There\u2019s a reason some people pick certain class and race combos, either because of old fantasy tropes or because of overpowered D&D character builds. These reasons were outlined in a recent thread on the DnD Reddit, where users broke down the most predictable character gimmicks. \u201cIf a tortle monk sits down at your table they want to be Master Oogway but will be Michaelangelo,\u201d one very correct user wrote, while another said, \u201cKalashtar Bear Totem Barbarian. Resistance to Everything,\u201d referring to a very broken damage resistance build. One user wrote, \u201cFiend or Fey Warlock with female patron: sub,\u201d and another responded, \u201cUndead patron who is a male vampire: also sub.\u201d This is why Strahd von Zarovich is so popular. \u201cHuman Fighter \u2013 First time playing huh?,\u201d one user asked, \u201cVariant Human Fighter \u2013 They need 6 feats for their build to work.\u201d One player summed up a lot of characters.:\u201dElf-ranger: Legolas, Drow-Anything: Drizzt clone most likely, Hexblade 1\/Anything: Gaming the system are we?\u201d One fan wrote, \u201cLoxodon Rogue,\u201d referring to the Magic: The Gathering race, \u201cI know they want to quip about people not noticing the elephant in the room.\u201d The sad truth is that most D&D campaigns don\u2019t last for long. Groups are lucky if they hit level 5 in any single story. As such, everyone should play whatever character they want without fear of ridicule for being broken or an overused trope. (You can judge them privately, of course. Feel free to complain on Reddit about all of the Drizzt wannabes in the world.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
