What Class Should You Play in Dungeons & Dragons

Ойындар

Get a quick description of each of the core classes in D&D.
Dungeons and Dragons is a game all about telling stories, becoming a character, and having fun with your friends. It’s set in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery, but whether you want to join a pirate gang, explore a jungle, or take part in a political plot is entirely up to you. Everything is your decision, from what you look like, to how you act, to what happens next. The dice just help you along. Most of all though, it’s about spending time with your nearest and dearest, sharing dwarven ales, and making memories.

    my favorite class is the wizard, but most caster classes is for me. :D Atm playing Wizard Necromancer Mark of Healing Halfling so it gets healing spells added to class spells from the race. and a Celestial Warlock in another campaign. though i would not advise to play warlock to new players. also remember that subclass that most classes get at lvl 3 can change a lot of the how the class can be played.

    whats the difference between a paladin and a cleric ? arent they *somewhat* the same? magic from gods?

  • @balthazarquinn

    @balthazarquinn

    Жыл бұрын

    I’m happy to be corrected on this, but my limited understanding of the difference is that a Cleric is priest of divine magic first and foremost (the divine version of a wizard) who is trained to fight in the defence of their faith (and can, somewhat confusingly, use heavy armour, which doesn’t affect their magic casting the way it does with arcane wizards). They often have a range of alignments so their morality is more fluid. The Paladin is a fighter first and a healer second. Unlike the cleric, they spend their days practicing combat instead of officiating religious ritual or tending to the religious needs of the followers of their god the way a cleric would. Their alignment is Lawful Good and their morality is fixed in the need for law and order and good deeds, which potentially could lead to conflicted values or, alternately a degree of zealotry.

    Vampirism is a condition rather than a class, so theoretically any class could become a vampire. (Although vampires may be evil in D&D, which could make a few classes that *require* adherence to a specific alignment difficult to play.) Caveat: It’s been a while since I played, so I my advice could be outdated!

    I think there are too many classes in D&D 5e. Warlocks & sorcerers are really another variety of wizards. Druids are like clerics that worship nature. Monks, rangers, barbarians & paladins are all fighter variants. It would be simpler & easier just to have fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue & make the others subclasses or specializations. No need to make things more complicated than they need be.

    Let's see, outside of combat they can rule over every social encounter with expertise in charisma abilities and high charisma, and they can help others being even better with inspiration. In combat they can heal, they can buff, they can debuff, make allies better with inspiration and, if they choose so, even have some big damage dealing with magical secrets. Out of fights you're the specialist, but in them you're still a jack of all trades, which allows you to fill almost any position required by the party.
