My Favorite D&D Class: Barbarian

 The Barbarian


If you've ever wanted to crush an enemy and outlasting the odds in a combat scenario in Dungeons and Dragons, Barbarian is the class for you. 


The Barbarian in Dungeons and Dragons allows you to rage, doing extra damage with each attack, also allowing you to reduce the damage you take in combat significantly. As a frontline warrior you will survive the hits far longer than any of your other party members, so try to take as many hits as you can, you are the party's tank! As a Barbarian, your anger fuels your health and damage, so the angrier you are, the more deadly you become on the battlefield. The first time I played as a Barbarian, I remember doing 20 damage to a singular creature, which in the game, is a very large amount of damage at the beginning of the game. Barbarians are largely melee fighters, so you get up close to the opponent and overpower them with your immense strength. The coolest part about the Barbarian is the ability to become so angry that you can stave off death from deathblows, by making saving throws for every attack that would normally kill you, you can save yourself from death multiple times and keep attacking, making Barbarians unstoppable monsters. If a Barbarian can become strong enough, they can perform inhuman acts of strength by breaking boulders, snapping chains, and throwing monsters larger than themselves over cliffs. At a certain point in the Barbarian class, you can choose what type of Barbarian to come, either continue the bloodthirsty rage route, becoming even stronger and unkillable, or introduce an element of randomness and explosive energy to the mix. As a Berserker Barbarian, you can attack more and more times and even resist magic during your rage because your anger takes over your mind. Or even better yet, wild magic can become a part of your rage. Every time you rage, a random magical effect happens, causing vines to sprout from the ground, or giving you a radiant beam from your chest, or potentially turning yourself into a cat. Whatever the wild magic may be, it's assured to be a fun time while fighting whatever giant monster you decided to attack. Barbarian is a simple class in D&D and allows you to have some fun roleplay moments in a game like D&D, when the Barbarian lands a critical hit, enabling them to hit a creature incredibly hard, as the Barbarian player bellows as they slay their foe, it truly makes for some memorable moments.

Ludwig's Climb to Plat in League of Legends

 The Grind to Plat Ludwig Takes on an Impossible Challenge                          Ludwig Ahgren, famous Twitch Streamer and Youtuber, took on a challenge from pro League of Legends streamer Tyler1 to reach bottom of Plat before the end of the season.           Some would have never thought such a feat could have been achieved, but alas, Ludwig pulls his weight, and gets the job done. Although he had accomplished his goal, it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in order to get to where he is today, completing a mentally exhausting challenge.          This whole story started when Ludwig began to stream League for the first time, and comparatively to other players in the industry, he was shall we say, not so hot at playing jungle.          Ludwig consistently had hard times playing League, he would desperately try to win fights...

All This D&D, Where Can I Get More?

 High Rollers D&D High Rollers D&D is a Dungeons and Dragons show hosted by the some in the UK every Sunday and is incredibly fun to watch. Mark Hulmes, the dungeon master of the group takes everyone into the gang's newest campaign Altheya: The Dragon Empire, where Dragon's rule the cities threats are many. I've wanted to recommend the High Rollers to a wider audience for a long time, because they really set the standard for Dungeons and Dragons in a way. I've seen their previous campaign Aerois all the way through, make sure to give the campaign a chance, just have a look at episode one, it's really good and honestly, an amazing story. Whenever they play, Mark does a very good job of planning game events, having meaningful dialogue with the players, and taking advantage of the idea of mystery if you ever get to watch Aerois. The heroes originally only have their own side quests to complete, the only reason why the party was traveling together was survival f...

Dungeons and Dragons: The Rogue  Old Rogue Versus New Rogue: Which is Sneakier As we move away from the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons into the 6th edition, also known as the "2024 edition" of Dungeons and Dragons. The new rulebook covers a variety of subjects, from how to make specific calls, how to make certain rules of the game clearer, and most importantly, all the new class variations. The Rogue is the class beloved by many in the Dungeons and Dragons community and it was always cool to play the silent assassin who knows the right moment to strike a target down. The rogue from the previous edition of Dungeons and Dragons was exceptional at doing high amounts of single target damage and had decent survivability in most situations. The Rogue has a complicated role in Dungeons and Dragons, because they always rely upon stealth. In a game like Dungeons and Dragons where everyone sits around the table to play, many of the rules in Dungeons and Dragons relies upon combat....
