Purple Dragon Knight 5e Review 2025. Purple dragon knight is not the most powerful subclass, but no one will say no to free healing and it provides a fun roleplaying opportunity to play a 'leader' type or maybe a dainty upper class. I hope i can convince those looking to play a supportive, leadership oriented character that the purple dragon knight (pdk) is the class package that can really express that!

The mere presence of a knight in a hamlet is enough to cause some orcs and bandits to seek. That’s right, the purple dragon knight, one of the worst subclasses in all 5e is back—don’t worry, it’s still not great.
