Presidential Candidates Explained Through Dungeons and Dragons Character Sheets
Presidential Candidates Explained Through Dungeons and Dragons Character Sheets


In 1977, game designer Gary Gygax created Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, defining the modern RPG genre and providing yet another justification for asshole bullies to mercilessly harass nerds. Well, with the coming election absorbing the media's attention like a gelatinous cube, we here at Live Funny or Die pondered how the lineup of 2012 presidential candidates might fare in Gygax's swords and sorcery universe. So crack open your monster manual, whip out your 20-sided die, and get ready for a different type of political party, with D&D character worksheets for this election's contenders.

1. Why a Warden? Wouldn't a Ranger make more sense for a Texan?

Hell, I don't even see a Warden class in D&D (never played the game).


Edit.. can't get link to work correctly, sorry.

I was, however, a Warden in DAoC for years and take offense at my class being associated with Prick Rerry. How about Necromancer? So he can bring back the people he has executed to be his servants?

4. Rangers have to be good
Or at least they did under 2nd Ed. rules. 3rd Ed. changed that, I believe, but I'm sure that's why they didn't list him as a Ranger.

7. I notice Perry's Intelligence score is just high enough to keep him from being an animal.
Much like real life, is Dungeons and Dragons...
