Don’t go away your hat behind! This week’s D&D sheets belong in a museum as we play Dungeons and Dragons with Indiana Jones and Short Round.
Over the weekend Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan had one of the vital heartwarming reunions in cinematic historical past.
It was really a pleasant second, and it received us considering that Indiana Jones is an almost excellent Dungeons and Dragons character. He has all the traditional D&D participant character parts. Ridiculous talents for what needs to be a fairly mundane particular person? Check. That “I shall woo the NPC” vitality? Check. Actual dungeons to crawl via for literal treasure? Check. And proper now none of us can overlook Ke Huy Quan or Shorty, so let’s simply make it official. This week we’re taking part in D&D with…
Indiana Jones
Starting proper on the prime, I made a decision towards making this character human. He is, yeah, however because the films happen in a world solely inhabited by people and D&D has a fairly vast selection of clever races now we have some choices. In the top, I selected tabaxi for the dexterity and charisma boosts. His close to misses and fast reflexes are very cat-like, even when the human character appears extra like a canine particular person. After that Rogue Inquisitive was an apparent selection based mostly on the official description alone.
“As an archetypal Inquisitive, you excel at rooting out secrets and unraveling mysteries. You rely on your sharp eye for detail, but also on your finely honed ability to read the words and deeds of other creatures to determine their true intent. You excel at defeating creatures that hide among and prey upon ordinary folk, and your mastery of lore and your sharp eye make you well equipped to expose and end hidden evils.”
Rooting out secrets and techniques, unraveling mysteries, mastery over lore, and exposing hidden evils is Indie to a T and are principally his job as an archaeologist. Well, a film archaeologist, I feel any in the actual world make take concern with how he does his work. That mentioned, he calls himself an archaeologist in order that needed to be his background.

This transfer nearly however not fairly working is why I didn’t give him a lift in sleight of hand in proficiencies or experience.
The obtrusive concern right here was, after all, Indiana Jones wants a whip proficiency and doesn’t get one from both this race or this class, and after just a little little bit of looking out it didn’t seem to be any quantity of duel classing would end in a whip proficiency. Way of the Kensei Monk would give me the choice to achieve proficiency in any two weapons I wished, however he doesn’t appear terribly monk-ish to me. Instead, the feat Weapon Master helps you to acquire proficiency in as much as 4 easy or martial weapons of your selection. He additionally has his unarmed strike (useful for all of these nazis he punches), a hand crossbow, and a pistol. I figured totally different gamers could wish to play with or with out weapons of their video games, so there are alternatives.
Short Round
This character looks like when your youthful sibling asks to play D&D along with your group and also you say, “Okay but we’re not going to protect you, you’re on your own,” and then you definately completely defend their character. But it’s okay, their character is an absolute delight and your pals have invited them again for the following session.
I didn’t wish to make Shorty a rogue as a result of making a tiny low-level Indy clone can be boring and never fairly proper. Instead, I poured all of that little child model of “make questionable choices and commit” vitality right into a fighter. Plus, Short Round additionally occurs to be an honest fighter.
And should you’re questioning in regards to the pet mouse, it comes with the Urchin background and I assumed it was too humorous and cute to not embrace.
How would you make Indiana Jones for Dungeons and Dragons? What would you modify? What character or film would you prefer to see me make subsequent time? Let us know within the feedback!
Happy Adventuring!
