5 D&D Character Archetypes That Aren’t As Fun As You Imagine

For many Dungeons & Dragons players, brainstorming a new character concept can be nearly as entertaining as a campaign, but experienced tabletop RPG fans have learned that some character archetypes are a lot more fun in theory than in practice. Players may want to pay homage to a character from a book or series they enjoy, or they may be inspired by DnD discussion forums. Veteran players realize that the way a character plays and the way they are received will vary wildly based on the specifics of a Dungeon Master’s campaign and the player group they are fighting alongside.
