The Best Uncommon Magic Items in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
It’s well known that in D&D, the majority of campaigns focus on lower level characters. In fact, the majority of campaigns don’t get above 10th level, and as such, characters don’t tend to often get magic items or loot of any kind that is above Rare. As such, it’s more likely than not that you’re going to be focused on weapons and armor, wondrous items and such that your character is actually able to find or buy within the course of the campaign or module you are going to play. All that together, welcome to the list of the best Uncommon Magic Items in the game. These are far and away the most powerful or most useful items you are going to be able to find in the game, and you should be aiming to get these for your character or party members as soon as you can! Without further ado!

The Best Spells for Druids in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
As far as spells go, Druids are awesome, they have a good mix of combat, support, utility, Area of Effect and Single Target Debuffs. All around, something within the Druid’s spell list will fit every caster’s playing style. The following list is by no means a full account of every good spell on the list, but simply the best spells at each spell level. Some spells will situationally be better than others, and it’s impossible to know what any individual DM or adventure will throw at you, but here are the top picks!

The Best Spells for Clerics in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
As far as spells go, Clerics have the benefit of being able to prepare spells on a whim each day, completing changing the list of spells they are able to cast after every Long Rest. Because of this, your choice of spell matters a lot less than a class who is stuck with a limited number of spells known, but the downside is that it means that a cleric has a smaller spell list than other casting classes. Clerics focus primarily on buff spells and healing, but also have an interesting array of debuffs and some damage dealing capability. However, unless you go Tempest Cleric, your ability to lay out the same amount of damage as a Sorcerer or Wizard is likely to be limited. Nevertheless, Clerics have spells for most occasions, some spells will situationally be better than others, and it’s impossible to know what any individual DM or adventure will throw at you, but here are the top picks!

The Best Cantrips in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
Cantrips may not be the most powerful spells a spellcaster has access to, but they are by far the most versatile choices that you will make as a caster in your class of choice. Cantrips are spells that you get a very limited access to, but they are the spells your caster has infinite access to, you never run out of Cantrip spell slots. While new cantrips rarely come out in new sourcebooks, they remain the most important choice in many ways that many spellcasters will make in their careers. So! Without further ado, here are the best cantrips in D&D Fifth Edition!

The Best Legendary Magic Items in D&D Fifth Edition (5E)
There are a number of magic items in 5E Dungeons and Dragons, but few are nearly as awesome as the Legendary Items that we almost never get to use. These items are found in the highest level of play, or given out by newbie DMs who don’t know any better (sorry!). Sadly, we very rarely get to see these Legendary Magic Items in actual play, but nevertheless I thought I would make a list for you so you can see my personal top 10 for Legendary Magic Items in the game so far.

Only the Best
“It will be a smooth operation,” That’s what he’d said to himself the night before the heist. “Nothing could go wrong.” Now, as he leaped across the creaking timber floors, the Package firmly tucked beneath his arm as he scampered as fast as he could, the enemy getting closer, the warm blood pooling on his side as he whisked ever closer to his salvation, nearly slipping on the loose blades of hay, he wondered if it had been worth it. Had the meticulous plotting, the planning, the scheming, had it all been worth it for what he had acquired? Yes, he thought to himself, surely it had for the smile he’d see in his mother’s eyes before she left them. There was nothing that she’d wanted more, and while his brothers and sisters had laughed at him for even attempting the impossible, he’d always known that he was meant for better things. He’d had the gall, the guts to do what no one else would. And he’d made it this far, but now the enemy closed in, he could hear her screeching yowl as she lunged towards him, he had to push, he had to run. It was his only choice. The Enemy got closer and closer, bearing down on him he leaped upwards, this would be his legacy, if only he could make it. Only the best for momma...
