The Dark Elves of the Underdark typically serve Lolth’s cruel hierarchy, but a paladin who rejects that legacy becomes something rare: a character whose mechanics and story actually reinforce each other. Whether you’re playing an outcast seeking redemption, a cultural rebel, or someone proving

The Mechanical Case for Tiefling Bards Tieflings have a genuine mechanical advantage as bards that goes beyond looking cool with horns and a tail.
