What Dungeons & Dragons player would refuse to play a Fighter sharing the same stylishness as Dante (Devil May Cry), the ruthlessness of Kratos (God of War), or the unique attacks of Mega Man (Mega Man)? Gamers who love D&D can actually find a way to translate these action legends into functional Fighters in their party.

To top it off, the right approach can actually help players bring these legends to life in D&D without using homebrew resources as much as possible. That’s right – players can get away with a character that’s just as stylish as Dante but still works with campaigns that only allow official resources. How would this concept work with these characters?

10 Mega Man: Arcane Archer

Just because gaming’s super fighting robot uses a Mega Buster doesn’t make him any less of a fighter. Mega Man fans can transform the Blue Bomber into an Arcane Archer, with its Arcane Shot variations too much of a temptation to resist being considered as Mega Man’s special buster shots in a D&D game.

9 Link: Cavalier

Having defended Hyrule from disaster after disaster, Link is perhaps one of the greatest defenders to have existed. This silent protagonist from The Legend of Zelda can wield the iconic Master Sword and Hylian Shield as a Cavalier, trained precisely to defend his allies.

8 Master Chief: Battle Master

Years of combat experience ensure Master Chief has all the resources he needs to turn desperate battlefields into stunning victories. As fans of Halo know, Master Chief’s mastery of combat strategies easily makes him a Battle Master for D&D players.

7 Geralt Of Rivia: Rune Knight

In The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia specializes in hunting various supernatural threats through martial training, physical augmentations, and a bit of magic on the side. Flavor-wise, Geralt could work as a Monster Hunter. However, players who want to stick to a Geralt dishing out Witcher Signs might want him as a Rune Knight.

6 Alucard: Eldritch Knight

Unlike the Belmonts who use sheer combat prowess, Alucard inherited Dracula’s casting capabilities. Alongside his prowess with the blade, Alucard of Castlevania easily fits the Eldritch Knight Martial Archetype. Augmented with the Spellcasting of a Wizard, Eldritch Knight Alucard can best foes with either might or magic.

5 Dante: Gunslinger

Dante of Devil May Cry may use Rebellion to hack his way through demons, but his marksmanship excels when using Ebony and Ivory. Despite his fighting prowess, fans of DMC can showcase Dante’s gunplay skills as a Gunslinger Martial Archetype.

4 Vergil: Echo Knight

Vergil of Devil May Cry possesses a calm and stoic nature opposite Dante’s explosive personality. A half-demon like his twin, Vergil’s special powerset fits the abilities of the Echo Knight Martial Archetype. As an Echo Knight, Vergil relies on Echoes or temporal duplicates to help him in combat.

3 Kratos: Champion

At first glance, one might assume Kratos of God of War fits the Barbarian Class due to his inclination for reckless violence. However, fans who look at Kratos as an immediate Barbarian might forget his experience in combining battle tactics and physical prowess as a Spartan General. These characteristics reflect the Champion Martial Archetype more than a Barbarian.

2 Jin Sakai: Samurai

Depending on one’s playthrough, Jin Sakai of Ghost of Tsushima easily becomes a dueling Samurai or a Ghost operating in the shadows. Taking into account his original training, Jin Sakai fits the Samurai as a character build, with a focus on making precision strikes.

1 Commander Shepard: Psi Warrior

Versions of Commander Shepard who became an Adept can tap into the biotics of the Mass Effect franchise. Shepard can then manipulate mass around them, generating psychokinetic effects. This powerset easily ties into the Psi Warrior Martial Archetype.
