New Dungeons & Dragons Class Lets Players (Literally) Raise Hell
Directly following the release of the 2024 editions of the Player’s Handbook and Dungeon Master’s Guide, Dungeons & Dragons introduced a fresh, new class from MCDM: the Illrigger. This class allows players to tap into the malevolent powers of the Nine Hells. According to D&D Beyond, an Illrigger is essentially a hellish soldier, dispatched on assignments to enforce the desires of the archdevil commanding them. In many respects, their character profile shares similarities with a Paladin from Hell, but it also offers distinctive traits that set it apart as a wholly unique and immersive role-playing experience for both players and non-player characters (NPCs).
