Roll a 20 in Compassion: New Dungeons & Dragons Subclasses From PETA

Circle of Empathy druids experience a deep empathy for all sentient beings, granting them, for instance, access to spells, including Animal Friendship and Conjure Woodland Beings. Oath of Animal Liberation paladins vow to protect animals and gain benefits, such as the ability to stop other humanoids from using animals for riding, carrying loads, or engaging in combat. Warden of the Wild rangers stand against anyone who exploits or endangers animals and receive new tools, including the Sanctuary Key, which unlocks any cage or trap that holds animals, and the Rescue Satchel, which magically expands to provide a temporary home for small animals.

“Compassionate D&D players have been asking for ways to advocate for animals in their adventures, and PETA’s new subclasses will help them do just that,” says PETA Senior Vice President Joel Bartlett. “PETA encourages everyone to level up in kindness by protecting animals in need—in their campaigns and in real life.”

PETA—whose motto reads, “Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness.
