- This article is about the website column. For information about the character classes, see SRD:Classes.
Character Class is a non-periodic column on the website of Wizards of the Coast where Skip Williams (and occasionally his other collegues) gives advice on how to create non-trivial characters of certain classes. It started in October 2004 as a bi-weekly series about base classes called Characters With Class, and was later continued with less regularity and more stress on character effectiveness.
List of articles (latest first)
Almost every article is accompanied by some useful links: its translations, the books and classes used, etc. If the author is not Skip Williams, it is also mentioned.
