This week we’re creepy, cooky, and altogether spooky as we work out how you can play D&D with Wednesday Addams.
I’ve cherished the Addams Family ceaselessly. The spooky, bizarre, however total loving household actually spoke to me. Especially once I was despatched house early from camp for being a “cold prickly” as an alternative of a “warm fuzzy” and had my dad and mom known as mid-school-year as a result of I’d spend recess studying as an alternative of enjoying with the opposite youngsters. Sometimes your loved ones will get you however the different youngsters don’t.
Since then I’ve discovered my very own assortment of weirdos however my love for the Addamses has caught round. Suffice it to say, I’m very excited in regards to the upcoming Wednesday present. We don’t have an actual date but, however we all know it’s coming quickly and Autumn is the right barely spooky time for a Wednesday launch. But till then, we will invite everyone’s creepy and cooky household to hang around. We’re enjoying D&D with…
Wednesday Addams
The Addamses usually aren’t a really combative household. Gomez is of curse swashbucklingly roguish and an skilled fencer. But for probably the most half, they’re shockingly regular. Sure the stuff they are saying is bizarre and the youngsters attempt to kill one another and there’s a literal crawling hand wandering the home. But they’re not precisely your common adventuring occasion. So I needed to get a bit of artistic with Wednesday for a D&D setting.
I made a decision one of the best ways to go about her can be to make her one thing akin to a witch. But “witch” isn’t actually a category in D&D so as an alternative, I made a decision to borrow a web page from Emily Axford’s guide when she made Fia for NADDPOD and cobbled collectively a witchy character from present lessons. In Fia’s case, she’s a Cleric-Wizard combine. And whereas Cleric may work for Wednesday I didn’t assume Wizard would so we did a bit of digging to seek out the right combine.
In the tip, I landed on Grave Domain Cleric and College of Whispers Bard for that spooky pseudo-mean-girl teenage witch character. I did contemplate Necromancy Wizard for a short time, however Wednesday isn’t actually necromancing. She’s not elevating the useless. She’s extra concerned with making extra of them than animating any. But whispers. Wednesday is nice and amassing data and utilizing it later. And whereas it’s at all times hilarious for the viewers, it’s not often superb for whoever has wronged her most not too long ago.
As for tools, Wednesday is likely one of the few principally non-combative characters we really see with weapons. The promotional materials for the upcoming present exhibits her with a knife – so I gave her a dagger – and I know one of many 90s movies had her taking pictures at Pugsley with a crossbow. Y’know, regular sibling stuff.

I nearly gave her a noble background, however I made a decision on charlatan as an alternative. Backgrounds don’t matter an excessive amount of however they can provide you some further goodies generally. And charlatan had the identical stuff I’d need as noble plus bottles of coloured liquid… Which is on model for Wednesday and simply form of humorous.
As a Bard, she will get an instrument, and the posters present her with a cello. And her spells are targeted totally on making different individuals really feel dangerous and speaking to useless issues. She will not be a full-blown necromancer, however she’s a bit of spooky. She’s gonna attempt to discuss to useless issues.
The solely factor that’s sadly lacking from this sheet is that I needed Wednesday to have a crawling hand acquainted so Thing may very well be round. But giving her one other class only for the acquainted was out of the query. Assume Thing is their very own character, round and being useful.
