Table top games take us back to the good ole gaming days, before we had to plug in to play.
The Spirit of Giving: A Warlock for the Far North
Ivan smirked. The barbarian punched him and he barely felt it. He punched him back, sending him back a good five feet. The barbarian charged, but Ivan twinkled his nose, disappearing in a puff of smoke and appearing behind him, looking a little more refreshed. He then hit the barbarian with a club he had himself made, with a lovely grip and a large clobbering end. The barbarian fell to the ground and didn’t get up. Ivan walked outside to a waiting sled, pulled by four glowing reindeer. “Tell him this is my region, but I’d love to drink with him!” Getting into the sleigh, he jerked the reins and flew off into the night.

The Nature Spirit Patron: When Warlocks Go Back to Nature
Thibalt hated when Oxnard and his band arrived in the woods. He would of course offer to be their guide, but only because his presence kept damage from the barbarian’s predatory instincts. This case was different: Oxnard had, unsurprisingly, ticked off a platoon of mercenaries, and so they were looking for help getting away from them. He sighed. Over the next few days, he made sure that they left no tracks due to his connection with the woods, talking them down from attacking non-hostile animals (which saved their lives multiple times, considering how any bears seemed to be about), and was able to negotiate help from plants to hide the barbarians.

The Malfunctioning Inevitable
The hoard of terrible creatures roiled from the buildings, horns and thorns rising from their smoldering flesh. The demons hissed and roared, snarled and clawed, burning saliva dripping from their maws as they sought prey to rend and tear.

Been There, Done That: The Traveler Mage Subclass
Been There, Done That: The Traveler Mage Subclass Hogarth teleported in. Thankfully, the information he had on the coordinates proved accurate. He looked at the dial in front of him; he had never seen such a wheel before, but after consulting his journal he had several ideas which numbers would get him past it. He dialed in the first set of numbers and the stone door ground open. Inside lay treasure, but not of the golden kind: Scrolls of a papyrus that hadn’t sunlight in a thousand years and a few artifacts of a forgotten age. He cast a spell of comprehension and looked through them for a moment, the scrolls would rewrite history. He smiled, gathered as many scrolls and artifacts as he could, then teleported out.

I'm Going to Raise Myself An Army: The Necromantic General
Branchae surveyed the field in front of him. He had thirty zombies in the field, twenty with swords and ten with bows, versus forty orcs. He smiled. He had his twenty swordszombies charge into battle and his ten bowzombies rain arrows on the orcs. His bowzombies would keep changing targets when their targets were eliminated, with one looking for the chieftain. He sent his crawling hand off around the bend to look for the orc leader. The orc leader saw the hand and charged it. The hand retreated and the chieftain followed it. Once he popped into sight of the bowzombies, Branchae had them change their targeting; the chieftain was quickly peppered with arrows. The orcs were easily cleaned up.

The Human Encyclopedia: The Scholar Wizard Subclass
Xavier glared at Ganor for the thousandth time. The barbarian wanted a flame for light and the books were the obvious source. The barbarian just want to fulfill a pyromaniac urge, but the scholar needed the books to solve the riddle before them and allow them freedom from the cell they were in. He looked at the books, his background in history helping to figure out which book held the answer to their predicament, and by chance he picked the right book. He translated a passage, and discovered that the solution to the riddle required mixing the chemicals in the right order. He smiled at the memory of his mentor Sandrarius, who had drilled basic alchemy into his head, and through the mixture at the given target.

Who Says There's Not Enough Room? The Exploding Wizard Subclass
Rollo readied his fireball. He didn’t care that he was in room that was just a 20-feet cube or that several party members were within range; he would just put each in a bubble that would shield them from the bulk of the flames. He just wanted to show the trolls who was boss. He let loose with the spell after giving his party mates minimal damage. He flipped a mental switch to up the flames, and he felt some of the burn himself. THE TROLLS WERE INCINERATED! However, the cleric and paladin gave him an icy glare; he would yet again be paying to have the party healed….

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE: Wrestling Wizard Subclass
Rothaar saw the orc rush the party. So he rushed the orc. Summoning his inner fire, he cloaked himself in a fiery sheath. He then reached down into his primal fury and raged fiery hot. He flung himself at the muscular humanoid, putting it into a chokehold. He grappled the orc to the ground and held it there until it was a burning corpse. He looked around for a moment, then smiled: He had found another target.
