With over 100 subclasses in Dungeons and Dragons 5e, some are bound to get unfairly overlooked!

I've been told to use keywords in video descriptions, but I don't know what I'm doing. I stole these tags from MonkeyDM who seems on top of this type of thing when we chat.

    "Suggest a Prince gives you his prized steed, and forget he ever did so." gets steed, causes Prince to forget Prince: "What are you doing with my steed!? GUARDS ARREST THEM!"
  • I made a major villain in a campaign an Enchantment Wizard and he instilled a healthy amount of paranoia for the party with his antics.
  • I play a Path of the Beast Barbarian currently in a campaign and its a great time! Small correction, you can make the extra attacks with your claws as long as either of your hands are empty, you don't need both empty. This is especially good when you go with a dual wielding build, as you can have a real weapon in one hand and still get your extra claw attack!

    Way of the Ascendent Dragon sounds like what people wanted out of Way of the Four Elements.
  • @Neutral_Tired
    Enchantment is one of my favourite wizard subclasses. Also, undeniably the most evil. A necromancer will use your body to kill your friends, an enchanter will make you kill your friends and you'll thank them for it
  • @senorsnek1502
    Modify memory also seems like a fantastic spell for the enchantment wizard and their split enchantment. Changing what one witness saw can get you out of a jam, changing what two saw can rewrite history

    My current character is a Way of the Ascendant Dragon Monk, a Kobold who wants to become a Dragon, its been a constant source of amusement imagining a tiny 3 foot kobold flying past on spectral wings barfing fire exclaiming 'I'm a Dragon!'

    "Are candles scary?" May I introduce you to the Greek Lampades, whom follow Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, and carried torches, lanterns, or CANDLES that is said to drive mortals insane upon being looked at. The Lampades took great pleasure in doing this, often going out of their way in groups to play "pranks", often causing mass hysteria and even free-for-all bloodbaths.

    4:29 or you target the bodyguard NEXT TO the spellcaster, making them attack the spellcaster dealing damage if it hits, likely taking a spell slot as the caster puts up a shield cus they know how powerful their bodyguard is, and taking both of their reactions
  • I am so glad we are back to the goofy content I love! I Hope they won’t mess up so bad in the future…
  • @abadidea5984
    I had the opportunity to play with a high level Enchanter Wizard and let me say I was not ready for how strong they were. The entire table was stunned the moment he ended a huge encounter by dropping a Mass Suggestion and forcing an entire warband of enemies to take a hike for eight hours.
  • @TBoring
    For Beast Barbarian I like to take the Unarmed Fighting style to never need to carry a weapon. Also maybe take a level in monk for a BA attack. If you take Way of the Ascendant Dragon with it you don’t have to go with 6 levels in Monk for your unarmed strikes to be magical and gives you 5 additional damage types (you can also make your bite claw and tail attacks dragon themed)
  • @kobralex5429
    Regarding the Beast Barbs Claws: it says that both hands transform and that you can use them as natural weapons, if free. It doesn't say that both need to be free for that extra attack, meaning you can make all attacks with one claw and carry a shield in the other hand
  • @DnDShorts
    I run D&D games for people all over the world and have played for years, and I have never seen any of these subclasses played more than once, except number 2 which I think is played a little more than the others but not nearly enough! What subclasses do you think are underrated?
  • @bradcraig6676
    The knowledge cleric and the enchantment wizard are definitely underrated, they can be two of the most powerful classes in 5e if they are played properly.
  • @curoskai
    I'm playing a Spirits Bard in Curse of Strahd. Playing as a Vistani and definitely has great flavor for it.
  • @VestAround
    Thank you for the love for College of Spirits Bard. I’m in my first campaign and using this subclass and I think it’s amazing.
