While at the Inn, buy the Evasive Shoes from Mattis for another +1 AC. These will provide +5 AC total, which raises the Wizard's AC to 18 when using Mage Armor even if they haven't invested in Dexterity (Important note here: They should absolutely invest in Dexterity for even better results.)

From the six options, be sure to have Insight and Investigation covered. Investigation is incredibly useful while exploring the world and locating items for quests, as it can highlight things before you even see them.

Fiend Warlocks made a pact with an entity known for corrupting and destroying and often served those ends through their actions, intentionally or otherwise. Fiend Warlocks immediately receive the power "Dark One's Blessing," which allows them to receive HP equal to their Charisma modifier plus their level whenever they reduce a foe to 0 HP. This helps keep the Fiend's health topped off and allows them greater survivability.

Level seven offers "Dominate Beast" and "Evard's Black Tentacles," allowing them to turn animal enemies to their side and brutally restrain their foes with conjured tendrils. At Level nine, they can get "Dominate Person" and "Telekinesis," letting them manipulate humanoids and throw people and objects around freely.


At third level, Shadow Magic Sorcerers gain Darkness as an extra second-level spell and can cast it by spending 2 Sorcery Points instead of a spell slot if desired. At level six, they can use the Hound of Ill Omen ability using a bonus action and 2 Sorcery Points.

For the King captures the essence of what's at the heart of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign: the party. Players choose a party of three, choosing from a roster of characters that are all twists on classic archetypes from D&D. Each character comes with their own specialities and playstyles, with different weapons and tools for the job. The story takes place across a typical fantasy island with damsels in distress, evil wizards, and skeletons coming back to l
