There is one undisputed fact about Dungeons and Dragons, for some unknown reason, just about everyone is armed to the teeth.
Whether it’s a sword, dagger, battleaxe, or even a heavy crossbow, the people of the forgotten realms sure know how to hurt people, so let’s count down the top 5 who are best at it.

3. Arkhan
If you noticed Arkhan's left hand looked a little weird, it's because he replaced his old hand with that of Vecna the Lich. Arkhan was able to achieve this feat thanks to the legendary efforts of Vox Machina. Since taking the hand he's been busy leading his army of dragons, dragon worshippers, and undead in Avernus, the first level of hell.
Arkhan the cruel is an oathbreaker. Once a hired killer who was captured by religious zealots of a cult. He escaped thanks to visions given to him by Tiamat. He now serves as an oathbreaker paladin of Tiamat. Arkhan is a DPS and Tank champion who works best in a two-tank setup because of his low health.
