X-Men in D&D 5e 💥 How we build parties, not just characters
86We wanted to demonstrate how players can build adventuring parties instead of a hodge-podge of mismatched characters. Players who proactively discuss their characters in the context of the adventuring party are wise, setting up themselves and their friends to maximize the fun of their campaign. 💥 #SquadGoalsDND
We used the Giant-Size X-Men comics for inspiration in this first video, looking at Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Wolverine. These characters are functional on their own, but let's see how they gel together!
You can read a write-up of my Nightcrawler concept in my accompanying article: https://www.flutesloot.com/nightcrawler-in-dnd-5e-xmen/
