Dungeons & ড্রাগন (or D&D for short) is a super fun টেবিলের উপরে 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 আপনি give it a try if আপনি ever get the chance. It's really an absolute blast! D&D has always been one of my পছন্দ 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 ডিজনি Princesses into D&D characters.

Over the last বছর 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 প্রবন্ধ 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 আপনি here don't play D&D অথবা maybe even haven't heard of it, I'll begin with the backstory I wrote since আপনি might find that the most interesting. Below the backstory you'll find the আরো nitty gritty stats of the characters. Anything written in italics is an author's note explaining my reasoning behind certain character choices.

Raya

Human Monk - Way of the Kensei / Background - Noble

I know Raya is also technically not an official DP, but I like her so I'm including her in this series. There were multiple DPs that I had trouble deciding what class to give them because I didn't feel like any fit, but Raya was the only one where I had trouble deciding because I felt like too many fit. Initially I wanted to make her a rogue because her story is literally all about stealing things, and I also considered fighter because of her excellent combat skills, but the আরো I thought about it the আরো I realized that all of her training was conducted in a temple with the intention that she would use her skills to guard a sacred relic. That's a monk if I ever heard of one. I struggled with which subclass to pick as well. I think there were multiple that could've worked well, but I ultimately went with the Way of the Kensei because they focus specifically on training with certain weapons, and Raya states in the movie that she prefers blades over fists. I gave her the noble background since 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 যেভাবে খুশী 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 Chief Benja of হৃদয় and his wife Nur. My mother abandoned us when I was still too young to remember her, and my father never liked to speak of her. We lived an aristocratic life in our palace, but I was destined from birth to be the পরবর্তি protector of the Dragon Gem, and as a result others saw me as being different from them, and so I had few companions when I was young.

I trained hard until I mastered the teachings of my father, but disaster struck when my father invited our rival tribes to a feast. I befriended a girl from Fang, Namaari. We became fast friends, and I chose to প্রদর্শনী her the Dragon Gem. She betrayed me though, and in the ensuing fight the gem was shattered and each tribe গাউন a piece for themselves. The monstrous Druun returned and my father was turned to stone.

I spent the ensuing six years searching the rivers of the land for the legendary last dragon, Sisu. I found her, and together we traveled the land restoring the Dragon Gem. We were successful, and because she empowered me to trust Namaari again we were able to vanquish the Druun and restore ড্রাগন to the world.

Since then, Namaari and I have rekindled our friendship, though I hope there is a spark of something আরো between us.

Recently, Sisu has disappeared. She was last seen in the temple in Heart, but all that was left behind was a few blood spatters and two vials containing blood I believe to be hers. Namaari and I have ventured out together to determine what has happened.

We were initially being helped দ্বারা a halfling rogue who called herself Blossom, but she double crossed us and গাউন one of the vials. We're not sure where she's gone.

Raya and Namaari are gay and in প্রণয় and আপনি cannot convince me otherwise.

Character Stats

Level 3

STR +1 (13) DEX +3 (16) CON +2 (14) INT 0 (11) WIS +2 (15) CHA -1 (9)

I used the standard array to generate stats. I tried to assign them in a way that would allow for a strong D&D character while still remaining mostly true to the attributes of the character in the film.

HP 24
AC 15
Initiative +3
Speed 40 ft.

Saving throws: Str +3, Dex +5

Skills: Acrobatics +5, History +2, Investigation +2, Persuasion +1 (For her class skills I gave her Acrobatics and History. She's clearly very acrobatic প্রদত্ত her monk training, and being a "dragon nerd" essentially means she's a history buff in her world. Persuasion was granted দ্বারা her background, and then I got to choose one more. I picked Investigation since she spent so many years searching for Sisu.)

Languages: Common, Draconic, Undercommon (Since she's বন্ধু with a dragon Draconic is a no-brainer. I also gave her Undercommon because I can imagine she might need it when navigating the seedy underbellies of the various kingdoms of Kumandra.)
