I’m not a huge fan of Overwatch, but my son is. He’s stoked for the release of Overwatch 2, specifically because they added in a much-needed story campaign. I get that Blizzard makes its money from OWL and that’s all about 5 player PVP. But there’s something to be said for an actual story to in the blanks for all the backstory teasers we get with each amazing hero video.

To celebrate the release of Overwatch 2, I’ve decided to start a series based on the characters from the game. I have been thinking about it for a while, and now seems like the perfect time to move forward with this. We are starting with Reinhardt, mainly because he was one of the easiest heroes to do and since I was getting my feet wet with this adventure, easy is good. What was interesting was the feedback I got from both my son and Stephen. I drew up the 1st draft based on what my son knew and we looked up together on the internet. I have to say he was pretty spot on with everything. I wrote it up and Stephen proceeded to redline a bunch of it. It was funny, as I told my son he needed to read descriptions in D&D to see how it would translate and told Stephen he need to play the game to see what abilities I was trying to give the subclass. Neither did of course, and I was left in the middle to piece it together. So thanks to the boy for helping get the abilities I wanted to use right and Stephen for translating them into D&D speak.

So let’s dive into the Paladin Oath of the Protector, based on Reinhardt from Overwatch.

For those that paused their game and want to start playing again.
