D&D players reveal the amazing character ideas they’ll never get to play
Wizards of the CoastDungeons & Dragons fans have revealed the character ideas they would love to play, but know they probably will never get the chance to roll up.
When it comes to D&D fans, there tend to be three kinds of players. You have people with countless character ideas, the fans who copy famous fictional characters and adapt them to D&D, and those who show up to the table with Bob the Human Fighter.
The problem with having many incredible ideas is that they’ll never see the light of day. This is because D&D is a social hobby that requires aligning several busy schedules. Even Baldur’s Gate 3 has referenced how scheduling is the death of many D&D campaigns.
So, if you have all these amazing ideas, what else can you do with them but share them online in the hopes that some poor soul will have the chance to breathe life into your character?
The best D&D characters will never be played
A user on the DnD Reddit created a thread asking others about the ideas for characters that they have that they’d love to play but are afraid will never see the light of day. Users were quick to share their amazing character concepts that will likely never leave their heads.
“So so many. But my current fav that I’m looking to get into one of my games… A fairy barbarian,” one Barbarian fan wrote, “Her temper got her pushed out. All her weapons are made naturally. She is set to go path of the giant. Where her rage ability transforms her into a 9′ tall berserker. And her weapons from with her. I’ve kinda gotten into another “magic girl or character from media” phase. Lol”
“An elf. He’s a warlock, his patron is Santa Claus. He reports his observations to Santa nightly,” one user said, while another wrote, “A barbarian whose solution the the “sword in the stone” problem was leaving the sword lodged in the stone and just bludgeoning people with the stone.”
One player almost threatened to unleash a terrible evil upon the world. “My Eladrin Bard that focuses on rap and Vicious Mockery. I had the perfect game for her, but then everyone appeared with ranged or fullcaster characters including another Bard. So she is still waiting at the box to be used.”
Hopefully, these characters will one day get their chance to live at the table. D&D has never been more popular and there are people worldwide who are itching to play the game. Maybe these heroes will get their chance to appear in a random one-shot someday or an impromptu online game, allowing them to be finally born via numbers and funny voices.
