I love that you’ve been making these! I’ve seen quite a few posts asking for D&D class recommendations and now I can just point them towards you 😌

ahhh thanks!! i didn't realize how hard some of the classes would be until i started scouring the internet and my own knowledge for some but it's been fun! i hope at least a few PBers will benefit from them 😊
Ooo! Ooo! Do artificer next?! There have to be some good steampunk tinkerer books?!
I love this series!!
the_ragsOP
i actually wasn't originally gonna do artificer since it's a "bonus" class but i realized there's so much sci-fi that could fit that i had to! probably will post some others first but it will be coming!!
When you put it together, I think it'll be good to have magical engineers and tinkerers, as well as the magical devices they make. I have so many that qualify under magical devices.
the_ragsOP
curious-when you say magical devices, do you mean a novel with a main character being a construct? or novels that highlight magical devices? (or both)
Yes, but my intent was the latter
I love a good druid book so I have a couple recs:
The One and Only Crystal Druid by Annette Marie Hounded by Kevin Hearne
the_ragsOP
