I got into Dungeons and Dragons in late 2023.

One of my clients was actually leaving their job to become a full time DM and I wanted to support them- So I joined their trial campaign…

It took me about 2 months to become obsessed.

A few months in and I had created about 20 characters because it is just soooo fun!



Playing with the Character creation on DND beyond is a blast and fantasizing about how your characters will fight in certain scenarios has become my favorite way to day dream.



I was playing with two other newbies and at the start of our second campaign all of us decided to try out new characters…

When I clicked on the Triton species and read about it I just new I had to try it out!

I decided to make him a Storm Sorcerer with the plan to multi-class as a fighter. His name is Dohvnos Adelath! (I know Sorcerer + Fighter isn’t ideal but it just feels right for the character I’ve created. Storm magic with the ability to wield a deadly Trident!)

Buuut- Sorcerers are super squishy and I need to get him ready to toss around a trident with flair so let's go over his training program.


Note: He still needs time to practice his sorcery and can’t be too sore when he goes Dungeon Delving- So it’s going to be a 3 day program.

Goals:
- Strength
- Resilience (Constitution)
- Athleticism (Dexterity)


Considering he will need to be able to wield a trident, dive, duck, and dodge- I need to keep him moving really well while increasing his raw strength.

But we also can’t gas out… you never know how long you’ll be scouring a dungeon or fighting a horde of goblins. So we need to keep his resiliency high. (Luckily Triton get a plus 1 to Strength and Constitution 😉) *At least before the 2024 rules came out.


Note: A Warm-up is implied before every workout.
