D&D 5E The Illrigger: Why I hate this class and love what it could have been.

[Genghis Don]

Just an FYI, MCDM did not make up illrigger. It was the article "A Plethora of Paladins" from Dragon #106 that introduced it I believe. @Echohawk might know more. I believe the intent is a combination of "ill" (implying evil or demonic) and "rigger" (suggesting a skilled manipulator or someone who controls things from behind the scenes). Not saying it is a good name, but it has precedent and intent.

this, beat me to the post

no comment on whatever class/subclass is being ranted about, but starting off decrying someone could change it to sound like racist word...ended my reading of the complaint. AUTOMATIC FAIL
