Every single D&D class explained
Ойындар
Dungeons & Dragons can be overwhelming to get into. There's all these complicated terms and rules and there are SO MANY CLASSES. So I'd thought I put out a simple explanation of what each class does.
This video is meant for beginners choosing their class, so people who have played Dungeons and Dragons might find this a bit oversimplified. Hopefully new D&D players find it useful, though.

It’s DnD content bro only a few of us turbovirgins are left
I hear one more content creator call Legolas a Ranger when the class was literally made because of Aragorn and I'm gonna have to cause some Sauron level damage to the world. For real though, great video!

Thank you! Was looking for this comment. Aragorn tracking Pippin and Merry through the battlefield is the epitome of being a ranger. Legolas is the fighter with a bow.
Tasha’s Couldron of Everything optional abilities for ranger makes ranger genuinely solid for the record btw
Usually not the one to leave to many comments, but I think you more than deserve that. Incredibly well done video, I like the style, the pacing and the depth of detail. Just starting out with DnD and this video helped me and my wife to pick our first characters, thank you very much!

I also love a lot of the other druid circles. I'm currently playing a circle of wildfire druid, it's from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It means I have a little pet made of fire and I'm really good at arson and healing people.

This is very well done. Clear, informative and comprehensible
If I may make a suggestion for the UA Ranger, I would personally go with the optional rules for them found in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. It’s simpler and better to work with the rest of the game than UA tends to be. However if you’re DM is experienced enough to handle untested stuff like that, then don’t let me stop you; you’r table not mine

Yeah... I played a Ranger not only with the Tasha rules, but one of its subclasses the Swarmkeeper, and actually turned into a fairly decent Battlefield Control character, especially when I was able to pick up the Spike Growth spell. Now that turned my enemies into shredded cheese!
Great clear informative video! deserve way more subs. Made me nearly spit my drink out when you went "Clerics: GOD."
I'm playing DnD for the first time tomorrow, thank you for this video, it's really helpful
Small correction: You choose your Druidic Circle at 2nd level. Other than that, fantastic video.
Disclaimer: don't be an eldrich knight if you want to throw fire, you are going to deal more damage just ttacking. On the other side, if you want to use spells that increase your defense or add mobility, go eldrich knight
My first ever D&D session is coming up and this is easily the most helpful video I've stumbled on. Thnak you!
So, so glad I found your channel. Your channel is the only one I’ve found that breaks it down perfectly for beginners like me. You explain everything so well and make it so much while learning.
Great video friend! Believe it or not, there are not that many videos on the internet that cover all of the PHB classes. Great job!
This information is fantastic. Accurate and helpful, with the right amount of detail. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
Honestly this is the best video breaking down all the 5e classes for beginers ive encountered yet. Thank you, ill be sending this to the new guys from my campaign.
Just quickly KZreadd descriptions of DnD classes to help a friend who is getting into Baldur's Gate for the first time. This is a great video! It gives a good but brief description of the classes but is not just some boring info dump!
This is great, thank you! I'm very nervous about trying new things but this doesn't seem so bad. I hope you make many more videos
I've never done this before but I just watched this video two days in a row because it is so entertaining and well done. Great job man keep going!
I would like to say that Paladins do not have to worship a god. Their strength comes from their conviction, not a diety or god. When one turns into an oathbreaker their power still exists, it just manifests in a way that doesnt follow their previous values and ideals.
I already love your channel just from this video alone, keep up the good work
This is awesome! As someone who is starting dnd this helped boil down all the classes for me!
I subscribed to hear more in depth class and subclasses. Also races! Need to explain more of those 😋
I wish I had this video when I was making my first ever character. He explained things in a very light and fun way.
I’ve been wanting to start playing DnD for a while, but just had no idea what I was doing. One of my friends sent me a google doc to start making my character sheet, and now I’ve got an artillerist artificer based on the artificer from rain world, and a divine soul sorcerer based on Osvald from Octopath Traveler 2, and figuring out the basics it making a character and all of the cool stuff that adds together to make it really work is awesome.

Most of all if you want to quickly know how to play an effective ranger, choose the Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything variant features, pick the spell hunter’s mark, go gloomstalker, choose the archery fighting style, and pick either variant human, or custom lineage for the first level feat. Pick sharpshooter, use a longbow, and go to town doing schmassive damage. Max out dexterity, dump strength, put your next highest stat in con, and third highest in wisdom. This is by far the easiest way to be really effective as a ranger. Bonus points if you can pursuade your party to fight at night, because then you will be invisible to even creatures with darkvision, and gain advantage on just about everything.
Best summarized explanation. Thanks!
so thankful for your videos! they are so helpful
Thank you so much for all the info, i love the way you explained it all
this deserves more likes man! this was a really funny and informative video, awesome!!
Bro I'm glad the algorithm showed me to your channel - instant sub! Looking forward to seeing the channel grow!
This is a great video dude very useful and charismatic!
The Zelda music was so good 😂
The whole vibe of this video is amazing
Loved it. Thanks. I'll show this to the friends i wan to convince to play😊
This video is really helpful. I think you forgot to mention cantrips when you were talking about wizards and spell slots.
You just got a new subscriber my guy. This was awesome
Neat video. Like your style and script. Keep up the good work and I am sure the views and subs will come in.
Now I know where John Flanagan got the idea from
That guardian music in the intro hit hard
As a bard my favourite spell was and always will be Tasha's hideous laughter. Harpies are above us and wanting to attack us? Hideous laughter, one falls and dies. Giant octopus-like creature wants to kill us? No problem only thing I wanted to know was its wisdom saving throw and it was laughing for the rest of our session. Hideous laughter also worked on players at the table
I already love your content!!
I like the ranger features added in Tasha's cauldron of everything
Came for the info, subbed for the quality
just found this video, and it made me remember my character, multi-classed into rogue, warlock and druid for extra info; he's a Kenku and Fire Genasi hybrid, and made a deal with his local god of war, power, for souls, yes, not his soul, but souls however, he wants out of this deal, without losing his power, one of his main things is freedom, meanwhile he's caged by contract do with that what you will
This is a dope video thank you man cant believe im only seeing this now
Great video, I just sent it to the groupchat as a guide for my newbie players-to-be before oour 0th session :D
I thought that i was watching a very Big yt creator, the Quality is outstanding! Keep it up
Namedrop Regina George describing bards? 12/10
Thank you for this video i recommended it to a friend that played bg3 so he could understand the classes a little bt better because they are very based on dnd.
that piano at the start gave me painful memories and activated my fight or flight
Brand new to D&D. Coming from years with elder scrolls, I love that this is laid out like the character creator in Oblivion, and bonus, the Skyrim music is nice to hear!
Great content, easily digestible
these videos are very helpful, can you do abilities next? this is all very helpful information for my first campaign.
Honestly, don't let the whole "clerics can be boring to roleplay" thing hold you back! I wanted to play one and everyone was like "you're gonna be so bored, this is a long campaign" but I had a vision and I stuck with it, my cleric served a tri-goddess (Angharrad) who is the personification of three Elven goddesses plus herself. I had 4 different deities that I could pull "what would Jesus do" lines for and it gave me a ton of super interesting and indepth role play when faced with moral dilemmas. Cleric is easily one of my top favorites to play!
It's actually crazy how small of a content creator he is Also these vids have helped me a lot cause im new
I was a dm for the first time and this one dude was a wizard and would ONLY USE FIREBALL (it was their first time playing)
Thanks I'm new and this helped a lot!
Pause, you do D&D stuff too??? You had me sold with your other channel, now I gotta binge watch here too 😂
Goddamn you’re underrated rn, hope the algorithm picks you up soon cuz this is quality shit right here, great video
The quality is just fire. Hope you did get a good sleep)
How am I just now finding out about this super secret DnD Idyl channel!
You had me at the zelda music 👀 I'm ready to learn 💪🏻
Kind of underselling Monk's Monk Weapons, bonk with quarterstaff with two hands and then follow up with a punch after freeing a hand from the QS. Also being able to throw darts and follow up with a punch for a nice mix of ranged and close combat, creating a mobile, mid ranged, scouter. One of the highest damages in the early levels with decent consistency for any damage.
Honestly thank you for this great video! It really helped me! As someone who only just recently got into D&D with a group of amazing people I've been having a ton of fun and frankly really getting into D&D My first character is a Sorcerer with Draconic lineage and is in fact a half dragon with red dragon blood However the character is chaotic good and so far it's been a ton of fun to play Really excited to try out some creative and chaotic things An entire bard group with every bard specifying in a few different spells is a joke idea we had for a lot of comedic fun I love about D&D just how creative you can be
This is so good! The skyrim soundtrack transports 👌👌

Can confirm about the druid, I play a circle of spores gremlin, and i uh, havent gotten to experiment with wild shapes yet bc we were level one… but as soon as i get the chance im becoming a cat.
About to start my first campaign. I just skipped the research and made a wacky character (archer who cant shoot for shit so subclasses in alchamey and makes explosive arrows)
Bro, great video. I'm looking to get into d&d and want to know what classes can do and can play
I was going to have my character be a fighter. You have successfully given me analysis paralysis.
The “Fighters are really good fighters” really shocked me.
As someone who loves to play Paladins, this was nice to see more into the other classes im not as familiar with (more so the spell caster lot ;-;)
This video helped me make my first character. An owl themed rouge named Qwess
Comment for support! Good stuff!
During my first campaign I was playing with a couple of people who it was also their first time so we all had no idea what we where doing and watching this video made me realize how much I played wizard wrong and that my character probably wasn’t even really a wizard
Ranger is my favorite class. I always picked human variant and chose sharp shooter as my feet and archer fighting style. I did an insane amount of damage
I never played dnd but I’m playing bg3 now. This video is very helpful.
just came here to say i appreciate the skyrim music in the bg, 10/10 video
Barbarians usually get their power from nature like druids. But that's usually ignored until subclasses are added. There are more inaccuracies but its a guide for newcomers and i still consider this a good video and worthy of a like.
Legolas isn't a ranger if anything eragon's a ranger Aragon is the one that travels eragon is the one that knows his surroundings Aragon is the one that gets supplies from the wilderness if anything legolas is a fighter
my character who will be coming up in a new campaign is an Abyssal Tiefling Druid who is from the Circle of the Moon… I love her so much
"i thought this was supposed to be a game, not school..." yeah, at first time, i taught just like that. i needed two whole day, when i finally understood how the basics of the game works. (i watched crap guide to dnd, and it was helped a lot)...
Good for newbs who need like a broad explanation of what each class does. Remember, your class does not necessarily define your character. You can play a happy go lucky rogue, completely without edge, or a studious Barbarian. If we think Hulk, Bruce Banner is a genius scientist when he's not a raging monster. After nearly 30 years of playing TTRPGs one of my favorite way of making character is giving them a few defining characteristics and making stuff up as I go along. Just remember the golden rule of TTRPGs and you'll be fine :)
Cool dishonored background for the warlock.
A warlock who's patron is a Fae, who offered a down on their luck, depressed human immense powers and the removal of all worries, except by "removal of all worries", the Fae meant "Oh, hey.. Nice memories you got there, it'd be a shame if... YOINK!" So now they quest to regain their memories, except they don't remember that they had those memories, nor do they remember the location of the Fae that they also don't remember! 😂
I play a barbarian, my first kill was with the cast iron pan from my adventure pack. I went and picked it up from where it landed in the second session
