One of the most exciting aspects of joining a new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons campaign is creating a new character. Players come up with original characters or take inspiration from other fictional ones. Creating a character from scratch can be intimidating, after all, especially for new players. Sometimes, it's a challenge to incorporate a character idea from modern themed fiction into the D&D setting.
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:DC comic universe is full of interesting and powerful superheroes, vigilantes, and villains. It's hard to create the D&D version of some of the more popular DC heroes such as Batman or Superman because they are either normal humans with access to amazing technologies and gadgets, or they are just too powerful for the game. But some iconic DC characters can be created using the official Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks.
Updated on June 26, 2023 by Rosa Baumgartl: As two of our favorite fictional universes continue to expand, gaining new characters, locations and lore, the drive to inspire and create grows. Since the release of this article, Dungeons and Dragons has gained new books, featuring exciting races and subclasses with which to play our DC heroes. Of course, there are many different ways to interpret these characters, and a plethora of options from Wizards of the Coast with which to customize our games.
13 𒅌 Aquaman (Druid: Circle Of The Land) 🌳
Aquaman is not the typical shapechanging druid, but his connection with the sea life and his mastery over the waters can be replicated with druid's spells and features. Circle of the Land (Coast) subclass gains access to spells such as Water Breathing, Control Water, and Water Walk that goes along with the character's story.
The aquatic race, Triton, from Volo's Guide to Monsters, is the best choice for playing as Aquaman. The race gives access to some other water-themed spells and abilities, and the ability to communicate with sea creatures. The Outlander background is thematically closest to Aquaman's personality.
12 Cyclone (War M🥃agic Wizard)
Cyclone is one of the most intelligent heroes in the DC world, excelling in academia and being one of the main tacticians of the Justice Society of America. Wizards in Dungeons and Dragons rely on their Intelligence to cast spells, making this a good match up. Especially War Magic Wizards, who can fend off blows using Arcane Deflection, similar to Cyclone's ability to bend air to defend herself.
War Magic Wizards arꦇe so quick witted in battle they get to add their Intelligence modifier to their Initiative rolls, making them speedy too. A great race to play Cyclone as is Air Genasi of course, which innately learn Levitate and Feather Fall, allowing them to hang out in the sky with ease.
11 Katana (Fi🐼ghter: Samurai) 🔯
This ally of the Batman is a classic Samurai, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything's Samurai Fighter subclass is perfect for playing as Katana. The Fighting Spirit feature increases the character's precision by giving them advantage on all attack rolls in a turn, and at later levels, the character can forgo one of their advantages for an extra attack.
There are a lot of homebrew magical soul eater swords that come close to Katana's iconic weapon, but the subclass feels strong and flavorful even without it. There are no species requirements for this build, but the human is the closest option to the character. Katana's origin story fits best with the Hermit background.
10 ꦗ Green Arrow (Ranger꧋: Hunter Conclave)
Oliver Queen's abilities as an archer, and the special gadgets and arrows that he uses thanks to his inherited wealth, can be replicated as a Ranger and their spells. While the Ranger class from the Player's Handbook might seem unappealing to some players, the optional features from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything make the class exciting.
The Hunter Conclave subclass improves the character's defensive abilities and helps them against larger groups of enemies, making it a better fit for the vigilante-style of the character. Green Arrow looks best as a human or a wood elf, and the Noble background is closest to the story.
9 ꦿ Beast Boy (Druid: Circle Of The Moon) 🃏
This member of the Teen Titans has access to classic druid abilities such as wild shape. The ability to shapeshift into any animal, and using its powers to the fullest, is what the Circle of the Moon subclass does best. But unlike most classic D&D druids, Garfield Logan has a charismatic persona — a feature that can lead to a unique and interestin𝓡g character.
Beast Boy is a green-skinned human in the original story — a feature that can be achieved by playing as a half-orc, or using the Custom Origin option from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. His personality fits with the Entertainer background.
8 Scarecrow (Shadow Magic Sorcerer)💯
Scarecrow's whole shtick is to bring his victims' fears to life and allowing their own minds to defeat them. At level three a Shadow Magic Sorcerer learns Darkness, requiring no spell components, and if cast using two Sorcery Points, they can see through it too. This makes for a great set up on the battlefield and puts enemies on the back foot. Additionally, you can summon a terrifying Hound of Ill Omen to hunt down prey and give them disadvantage to save against your spells.
Later on, Shadow Walk and Umbral Form make for a frighteningly fast and spectral character, meaning Scarecrow can float from shadow to shadow like ghoul he is. Fallen Aasimars can transform into a flying, hellish demon w🔜ith an aura of Fear which lines up really well with this build.
7 🐠 ♚ Catwoman (Rogue: Thief)
This iconic character of Gotha🍷m City is a professional thief with gray moralities that sometimes is the hero and sometimes is the vil𒆙lain. The characteristics sound a lot like the Rogue class. The Thief subclass also offers features that will help portray the character better.
Catwoman is a human. But in the D&D universe, choosing a Tabaxi from Volo's Guide to Monsters will give feline-like features that can create a unique version of Selina Kyle. The Criminal or Charlatan background can both be good options for this character.
6 Cyborg (Artificer: Arti🍌llerist)
Playing as an augmented, half-human half-machine technological savant in D&D seemed so far-fetched a few years ago. But, thanks to the Artificer class, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Eberron's Warforged race, playing as this member🌟 of the Justice League is possible.
The best subclass option for Cyborg is the Artillerist. The subclass gives access to some interesting spells and the Eldritch Canon feature that resemble some of the technological features and abilities of the original character. Cyborg looks best as a Warforged. The Noble or the Guild Artisan backgrounds are both viable background options considering the character's origin story.
5 ౠ Enchantre🌄ss (Sorcerer: Wild Magic)
June Moon's unstable magical powers, and her fear of losing control of them, make the Wild Magic Sorcerer the perfect fit for playing as the Enchantress. The act of June Moon transforming to the more dangerous Enchantress is a lot like the subclass feature, Tides of Chaos. She lets the Enchantress take over to empower her abilities, but, in return, she might lose control over the chaotic magical surges.
Just like how this Wild Sorcerer feature lets you have advantage on your next roll, you have to roll on the wild magic surge table and face one of it꧟s effects if you want to use this feature again. Enchantress can be portrayed as a human or a half-elf, and her involvement with the Suicide Squad makes the Criminal background one of the best options.
4 ꩲ Poison🦩 Ivy (Druid: Circle Of Spores)
Poison Ivy's control over her natural pheromones, and her ability to control the floral life around her, resemble some form of unique druidic powers in the D&D universe. These are powers that seem close to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the best Druid subclasses, Circle of Spores. While Poison Ivy can't reanimate the dead, the subclass's feature Fungal Infestation can be reskinned as vine-covered zombies that feel more like her powers.
The subclass's features, in addition to the classic druid spells such as Entangle, Spike Growth, and Plant Growth help portray this unique character. Poison Ivy is technically a human, but a wood elf looks close to the character as well. The Hermit or the Outlander backgrounds are the closest options to the character's backstory.
