In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), a King is typically a ruler or leader of a kingdom, often holding supreme authority over a territory or a group of people. Kings can appear in various forms, depending on the setting and campaign, but they generally possess significant political power, wealth, and influence. Their role in the game can range from a key NPC (non-player character) to a major figure in the campaign’s storyline. A King may govern a vast empire, a small town, or anything in between, and their leadership could be marked by wisdom, tyranny, or something in between.

In terms of gameplay, a King is often involved in diplomatic interactions with players or serves as a quest giver. The King might request the adventurers’ help with matters such as protecting the realm, solving internal conflicts, or defeating enemies that threaten the kingdom. A King's decisions and actions can impact the world around the players, and their alignment—whether good, neutral, or evil—can shape the nature of the kingdom they rule.

Kings are often depicted as having access to substantial resources, such as armies, advisors, and vast riches. Their personal skills and abilities may be enhanced by their station, but they are not necessarily unbeatable or without weaknesses. In some cases, a King could also be a powerful fighter, a wise mage, or a master diplomat, depending on the character's background and class.

A King’s story in D&D is often interwoven with the larger narrative, driving both political intrigue and adventure. The players may find themselves caught up in the complex web of court politics, alliances, betrayals, and wars that are part of the royal realm. Ultimately, a King’s role in D&D depends on the imagination of the Dungeon Master and the needs of the campaign.
