There’s something ancient—and a little dangerous—about the Fae.
They don’t just dwell in forests or dreams. They dwell in rules. In riddles. In the idea that for every gift, there is a price. And in many TTRPG settings, incorporating the Fae means flirting with narrative chaos, unpredictable magic, and character-rich worldbuilding.
Pathfinder isn’t just another fantasy RPG—it’s a system forged in the fires of player creativity and mechanical depth. Whether you’re sneaking through shadowed alleys, shaping the battlefield with elemental might, or healing comrades with divine grace, every Pathfinder class comes with rich lore, versatile mechanics, and deep customization options.
In the heart of magical industry, where invention meets incantation and wrenches clatter beside spell scrolls, stands the Artificer—a class forged not in fire, but in focus.
Introduced officially in Eberron: Rising from the Last War, the Artificer brought a new archetype to 5e: the arcane engineer. Yet, despite a devoted following, the 2014–2020 Artificer often felt like a fringe class—neither as flexible as Wizards, nor as durable as Fighters, and bound by clunky infusion and subclass mechanics that made onboarding a chore.
Among the ancient stones, beneath wild canopies, and deep within the shifting tide of the natural world, the Druid listens. Speaks. Commands.
In past editions of Dungeons & Dragons, the Druid was a paradox: wildly versatile but mechanically tangled. Shapeshifting potential often clashed with spellcasting identity. Subclasses ranged from the brilliant to the bewildering. And for all their connection to nature, Druids sometimes lacked presence at the table—overshadowed by flashier casters or simpler tanks.
In the realm of Dungeons & Dragons, the Ranger has long stood as a sentinel of the wilds—a tracker, a hunter, a guardian of the untamed. Yet, in previous editions, the class often grappled with an identity crisis, straddling the line between martial prowess and spellcasting utility without fully excelling in either.
In the grand theater of Dungeons & Dragons, no class carries quite the same duality as the Bard—both performer and powerhouse, jester and genius, trickster and tactician.
Yet despite their thematic richness, 2014’s Bard sometimes felt caught between roles. Jack-of-all-trades, but master of none. Full caster, but with limited impact. Inspiring, but mechanically murky.
Enter the 2024 Player’s Handbook.
The Barbarian has always been the primal heart of Dungeons & Dragons: a living engine of fury, born for chaos and carnage.
But in previous editions—especially 2014—Barbarians often felt trapped. You were great at soaking hits and swinging hard, but little else. Outside of Rage, your identity could feel narrow. And mechanically? Many subclass features came online too late to matter.
The world of tabletop role-playing games is more expansive than ever before. While Dungeons & Dragons may remain the best-known system globally, it is far from the only path available to brave adventurers and curious game masters.

Monks have always been the paradox of D&D: fast but fragile, magical but not spellcasters, martial but unarmed.In the 2014 rules, Monks were one of the most thematically beloved, but mechanically inconsistent classes. In the 2024 rules update, Wizards of the Coast has rebuilt the Monk from the ground up—refining its resource economy, combat versatility, and subclass identity to finally match the fantasy it has always promised:You are the storm. You are the stillness. You are the blade that doesn’t need one. Today at RPGInquisitor, we dive deep into the new Monk: what’s changed, what’s fixed, and why this version […]
