#Wizard dnd 5e plus#

Much like my D&D 5e cleric, I gave Yoruba a name based upon my real life travels and from nerdy little influences that I felt served his backstory and personality. In fact, that’s in part how he received his name. I like to imagine Yoruba with a bit of a fire and ice thing going on, perhaps with a wizard’s staff covered in frost, yet with a burning ember at the end.

Yoruba makes frequent use of Ray of Frost (1d8 damage, plus a slowing effect) and Fire Bolt (1d10 damage). But even at level one they can cast 3 cantrips (the term for a spell that can be cast every round without penalty). Unable to wear armor and using only a 6-sided die for hit points, wizards should never be the first character to poke their head into a owlbear lair. This still feels true for wizards in D&D 5th Edition (5e). Wizards are often referred to as “glass cannons”, meaning they can pack a powerful punch, but often can’t take a hit themselves. Soon, Nerds of Earth’s jack-booted bugbear thugs will be arriving at your door to push a 20-sided die into your palm. Now that you know Yoruba’s backstory (an important part of D&D 5e), we’ll talk more about the mechanics of a D&D 5e Wizard.īY the way, this is all a part of my level 20 villainous plot to have the entire world experiencing the joys of playing D&D 5e. Yoruba is one of my characters in my D&D 5e games, a wizard that just hit level 3. Not only do they deeply grieve the loss of the man who was like a father to them, they also grieve the loss of companionship with each other, longing to somehow be reunited.īy now you may have figured out that Yoruba is entirely fictional. In the confusion the 5 of them were separated from each other. Powerless to stop it, their only recourse was to flee in exile, barely escaping with their own lives. Yoruba, Remy, and 3 more of their closest friends, watched in horror as the priest was knifed down in front of them. That’s why his needless murder was so heartbreaking.įor every one person that sows light into the world, there are a hundred who sow nothing but darkness. This priest was the kind of person that oozed goodness and integrity, the kind of person that you wish the world had a million more of. No one was more supportive than Yoruba’s caretaker, the devout and compassionate priest who took in Yoruba when his parents had died. Both socially uncomfortable, their romance played out like an awkward scene from Freaks and Geeks, but those few who were close to them smiled inwardly, thrilled Yoruba and Remy had found each other.

As socially awkward as Yoruba, Remy kept far to the outskirts of the community, and by no logical explanation should have been attracted to Yoruba.īut perhaps precisely because it didn’t make a lick of sense, Yoruba and Remy felt a romantic bond. Two such bonds necessitate mentioning.įirst, there was a girl (Doesn’t every heartbreaking backstory involve a girl?). Extremely introverted and uncomfortable socially, Yoruba has had difficulty forming bonds, but with those he does connect with, he is extremely close. Yoruba is exceptionally intelligent, and has always been happiest among his books, researching and learning, yet always keenly observant to the things around him. Perhaps this made the lost that much more crushing. Yoruba’s life has been filled with more than his share of heart break, although for brief period things were wonderful, idyllic even.
