Every once in a while, you get that urge to make that perfect Dungeons & Dragons character. But how do you do it? Will you copy fictional works and go for a Conniving Thief? How about a Stupid Bard?
Perhaps you will try to do something less overdone than a Drizzt Do'urden clone, or perhaps you will choose a simple meat shield fighter to give your wizard less to complain about. Either way, here is an incomplete list of published classes and prestige classes. Good luck.
