Dungeons and Dragons’ Wild Magic Subclasses Get the Short End of the Stick

Within the world of Dungeons and Dragons, magic can be chaotic and unpredictable, but nothing can quite compare to Wild Magic. This phenomenon manifests as random Surges of unexpected power, which can conjure extraplanar creatures out of thin air, grant spontaneous resistances or vulnerabilities, or even transfigure someone into a potted plant. While Wild Magic can occur anywhere at the DM’s discretion, two Dungeons and Dragons subclasses wield it with reckless abandon: the Wild Magic Sorcerer and the Path of Wild Magic Barbarian.
