Dungeons & ドラゴン (or D&D for short) is a super fun テーブルトップ, 卓上 roleplaying game that's been around since the 1970s but has recently gained a fair bit of popularity. I've been playing the game for around eight years at time of writing, and I strongly recommend あなた give it a try if あなた ever get the chance. It's really an absolute blast! D&D has always been one of my お気に入り hobbies, but within the last two years it's become an even bigger part of my life. Since I've been having so much fun with it recently, I decided it was finally time to try something I'd always wanted to do: turning the ディズニー Princesses into D&D characters.
Over the last 年 I've been slowly creating D&D characters based off of the DPs, and I spent so much time on them that I really wanted to share them here. I'll be posting a series of articles, one for each DP, in which I explain why I chose the classes, subclasses, etc. for each princess, and share the backstory I wrote for each. I'll also be crossposting these 記事 to the D&D club. All the characters will be level 3 to ensure that they all have a chosen subclass. Sourcebooks used to build these characters include the Player's Handbook, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Since I expect many of あなた here don't play D&D または maybe even haven't heard of it, I'll begin with the backstory I wrote since あなた might find that the most interesting. Below the backstory you'll find the もっと見る nitty gritty stats of the characters. Anything written in italics is an author's note explaining my reasoning behind certain character choices.

Pocahontas
Human Druid - サークル, 円 of the Shepherd / Background - Noble
It was clear from Pocahontas's stewardship of nature that druid would be the right choice for her class. The real trouble was which subclass to put her in, because I felt there were multiple that fit her well. I ultimately went with the サークル, 円 of the Shepherd, because they are known for communing with the spirits of nature and protecting wild creatures from encroaching civilization, which is exactly what she does in her film. I gave her the noble background because she is the daughter of the chief.
Backstory
Backstories have been created with a combination of the stories from the films and rolling randomly on the ランダム tables in the "This Is Your Life" section of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, which is why some of these backstories have some wild things that really come out of left field lol.
I am the only child of Chief Powhatan. My mother died when I was very young, mauled によって an owlbear in the forest. I was raised によって my father, living an aristocratic life. I had a few close フレンズ and lived an ordinary childhood.
One 日 some foreigners arrived, and they began destroying our ホーム and claiming the land as their own. One of them was もっと見る willing to listen than the others, John Smith, and we became フレンズ and eventually lovers. I was able to make both sides see reason, though John was gravely injured in the process, and the foreigners left our shores. John tried to convince me to come with them, but I knew my place was with my tribe.
Since they left, I've done my best to help my tribe to recover from their destruction however I can. I have always had an affinity for 動物 and nature, so I explored my talent to see how best I could use it. I knew that some others in my tribe had left to be mentored によって an old druid who lived alone deep in the forest. I thought I might be able to gain useful knowledge from her as well, so I left to find her in the wilds. Kalpana was a lone human wanderer who'd begun to pick up students, feeling as though she must pass on her druidic knowledge. She was always friendly to me, and I enjoyed learning from her. I was one of several of her students, and learned much from her. One day, we awoke to find her dead, murdered によって one of our fellow pupils who had betrayed our group.
Changchang was a human who'd always seemed friendly with Kalpana. I've left in 検索 of her, to learn why she did what she did and to hopefully talk some sense into her.
There was a sacred river near my mentor's abode. Its endless flow reminds me of the great span of the world. I seek to act with the long-term interests of nature in mind. I've taken with me a vial of water from the river to carry this reminder with me always. My friend Nabila, a kind human girl and another student of Kalpana, gave me a fragment of a beautiful song, written as musical notes on two pieces of parchment, to take with me on my journey as well.
Not thrilled with this one, but oh well...
Character Stats
Level 3
STR -1 (9) DEX +1 (13) CON +2 (15) INT 0 (11) WIS +3 (16) CHA +2 (14)
I used the standard array to generate stats. I tried to assign them in a way that would allow for a strong D&D character while still remaining mostly true to the attributes of the character in the film.
HP 24
AC 14 (leather + shield)
Initiative +1
Speed 30 ft.
Saving throws: Int +2, Wis +5
Skills: History +2, Insight +5, Perception +5, Persuasion +4 (For her class skills I gave her Insight and Perception. I wanted to branch out a bit from the cliche animal handling and nature skills that druids always get. Poca is very insightful since she's the only one willing to find common ground between her tribe and the foreigners, and she demonstrates a level of perceptiveness nearly unrivaled によって any of the other DPs. History and Persuasion were granted によって her background.)
Languages: Common, Druidic, Elvish, Halfling, Sylvan (Growing up in the forest I would expect Poca's tribe to have some contact with elves, so she likely speaks Elvish. I can also see them maybe trading with Halflings as well, so she probably speaks some Halfling. Druidic and Sylvan were granted によって her class and subclass respectively.)
Tools: Dragonchess Set, Herbalism Kit
Features and Traits
Speech of the Woods: あなた learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan, and beasts can understand your speech, and あなた gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions.

Max CR 1/4 (no flying または swimming speed). あなた can stay in beast shape for 1 hours before reverting back to your normal form (or as a bonus action earlier または if あなた fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, または die).
Bonus Actions
Spirit Totem: As a bonus action, あなた can magically summon a spirit to a point あなた can see within 60 ft. that lasts for 1 分 (or until you're incapacitated). The spirit creates an aura in a 30-ft. radius around that point and can be moved up to 60 ft. as a bonus action. The spirit's aura effect depends on its type:
-Bear: 8 temp hp and advantage on STR checks & saves.
-Hawk: use your reaction to grant an ally advantage on attack. Advantage on Perception.
-Unicorn: Advantage on checks to detect creatures. Heal spells also heal 3 hp to allies.
That's it for Pocahontas! I hope あなた enjoyed reading. If あなた have any 質問 または opinions I'd 愛 to hear them in the comments! See あなた tomorrow with another princess~
