Dungeons & 용 (or D&D for short) is a super fun 테이블 탑, 테이블 톱 roleplaying game that's been around since the 1970s but has recently gained a fair bit of popularity. I've been playing the game for around eight years at time of writing, and I strongly recommend 당신 give it a try if 당신 ever get the chance. It's really an absolute blast! D&D has always been one of my 가장 좋아하는 hobbies, but within the last two years it's become an even bigger part of my life. Since I've been having so much fun with it recently, I decided it was finally time to try something I'd always wanted to do: turning the 디즈니 Princesses into D&D characters.

Over the last 년 I've been slowly creating D&D characters based off of the DPs, and I spent so much time on them that I really wanted to share them here. I'll be posting a series of articles, one for each DP, in which I explain why I chose the classes, subclasses, etc. for each princess, and share the backstory I wrote for each. I'll also be crossposting these 기사 to the D&D club. All the characters will be level 3 to ensure that they all have a chosen subclass. Sourcebooks used to build these characters include the Player's Handbook, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

Since I expect many of 당신 here don't play D&D 또는 maybe even haven't heard of it, I'll begin with the backstory I wrote since 당신 might find that the most interesting. Below the backstory you'll find the 더 많이 nitty gritty stats of the characters. Anything written in italics is an author's note explaining my reasoning behind certain character choices.

Kida

Dark Elf Rogue - Inquisitive / Background - Noble

Yes, I know that Kida isn't an official DP but I woke up today and chose ANARCHY. Actually I chose anarchy in multiple ways when making her character. First, I chose not to make her a human. I know she's technically a human in the movie but come on... 8000 years old? Silver hair? Dark skin? Lives underground? If that's not a dark elf I don't know what is. I made her a rogue since she successfully sneaks up on Milo the first time they meet, and I went with the Inquisitive subclass because she is so curious about everything and always seeks greater understanding about the world around her. I gave her the noble background because she was born and raised a princess.

Backstory

Backstories have been created with a combination of the stories from the films and rolling randomly on the 랜덤 tables in the "This Is Your Life" section of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, which is why some of these backstories have some wild things that really come out of left field lol.

I was born to Keyleth and Kashekim Nedakh, the rulers of Atlantis. When I was very young, our kingdom was one of the most powerful and prosperous in the land, but my people had grown arrogant and the gods grew angry with us. As punishment, they cast our kingdom beneath the waves, relegating us to survive in deep underwater caverns. In the chaos, my mother was taken 의해 the magical crystal that we receive our power from, a sacrifice to protect the rest of the citizens, and she was 로스트 to us forever. I was so young at the time that I barely remember it.

I was raised 의해 my father. We helped our citizens as best we could to carve out a new life in this strange environment. I had a few close friends, but was always curious about the world beyond our caverns.

I spent many centuries serving as princess of Atlantis, doing my best for my people and serving my father and king, forever devoted to him. But as the millenia passed, sequestered away from the outside world, we 로스트 much of our knowledge of the arcane.

One day, a small band of adventurers somehow found their way to our network of caverns. Led 의해 an explorer named Milo, they had come in 검색 of ruins, never expecting our city might still be inhabited. I was ecstatic to meet outsiders for the first time in my memory, and with Milo's help I was able to recover some of the long 로스트 knowledge of our civilization.

Unfortunately, some of the members of Milo's band betrayed us. They were secretly working for an art collector who uses illegal means to acquire masterpieces and rare magical artifacts. They were intent on getting their hands on my people's crystal. We managed to stop them, and one of them was killed, but one of them, a human woman named Helga Sinclaire, managed to escape.

Milo chose to stay with my people to continue assisting them with reclaiming our culture, while I chose to take this chance to explore the surface world for the first time in my life.

I've been exploring the surface searching for Helga and her employer. I became a rogue because I’ve always been nimble and quick of wit, so I decided to use those talents to help me make my way in the world. I've even found myself a benefactor: a magistrate who recently kept me out of jail in return for information on a powerful crime lord I'd been stalking. I've been enjoying my explorations, and have been gleefully adding to my new collection of exotic coins along the way.

Yes I named her mom Keyleth. Don't @ me if 당신 understand that reference. It was literally the only female elf name that starts with a K in XGtE. Had to change a lot to make this backstory work. XGtE was no help either, I rolled the worst stuff on the tables!! Literally decided not to use anything I rolled because it was useless. I kept Helga alive cuz I like her. I guess Kida's father is still alive too so he can rule while she goes and explores the surface world. Loosened Kida's morals a bit as well to make her work well as a rogue. 사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 unhappy with this backstory but 당신 can't win em all I guess.
