Guess I'm just playing as Random Villager #12. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

No. you're Crewman #6.

I love how 1E this idea feels.

If I'm a medical student (soon to be physician), am I really just stuck with Wizard? I do a lot of emergency medicine stuff and CPR is straight up necromancy, but I don't recall necromancer being a class. (it has been a hot minute since I've gotten to play D&D)

Edit: I'm completely braindead outside of medicine these days. Necromancer is a Wizard subclass. Time to go find a fancy hat I suppose.

Old Party DM: "God damnit, everyone's just playing wizards. We need to mix it up!"

New Party DM: "FUCK!"

As a software dev with no college degree, it feels weird to not fit into the wizard category because of a technicality. >.>

If you get a corporate job, you can be a code warlock!

[โ€“] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I can multiclass the shit out of this.

[โ€“] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

yeah i hit all of these except two

[โ€“] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Stupid DM has eyes in the back of his head and thighs like steel!

Also buns of aluminium. It's a known problem

that would be telling, wouldn't it

Steal the DMs dice while the guy who wants to be a fighter kicks his ass.

[โ€“] Triasha@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Gonna have a lot of warlocks.

I'm a warlock wizard multi class : /

[โ€“] notthebees@reddthat.com 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I can literally do all of these:

Artificer - I fix things in my house, and was on a robotics team in highschool.

Barbarian (only technically, I don't get explosively mad anymore).

Bard - Piano

Cleric - Muslim

Druid - Have ecology degree

Fighter - Probably

Monk - Fencing and Judo (in the past but looking to do this again)

Paladin - Conservation

Ranger - Nerf or nothing

Rogue - Jury is still out on that, but I startle everyone

Sorcerer - My dad's first computer, the only stable Windows Me machine.

Warlock - Big research university

Wizard - See druid

[โ€“] Soup@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Hell yes, Abserd-style multiclass incoming.

[โ€“] Triasha@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

One level in every class. Good luck.

[โ€“] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

No you start at level 1 with 1/13 of a level from every class

[โ€“] Sidhean@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

I'm going to blackjack my DM with the rules book and take his dice. If I wail on a guitar after (play, not play proficiently), can I start with three classes?

[โ€“] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Would not eating meat count for Druid? ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

YMMV.

Incidentally, as part of the Kingmaker chronicle, my DM actually introduced a race of cannibal elves who explicitly refused to eat vegetation as they considered plants sacred.

[โ€“] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

All wizards parties, all the time...

[โ€“] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I'll take the Druid class - it's literally my name

[โ€“] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

If FOSS counts, there's going to be a ton of Paladins in this party.

[โ€“] mechanismatic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I feel like this is too general. I'd want to customize based on specific IRL traits or jobs or hobbies.

You feed and befriend crows? Druid with animal skills focus.

You're some kind of a carpenter, engineer, craftsman? Artificer.

Phlebotomist's assistant? Vampire thrall backstory.

Retail salesperson? Bard with psychic damage skills.

Live in a basement? Homebrew troll obviously.

Software and coding? Sounds like arcane languages and warlock pacts to me.

[โ€“] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would be like 5 of these, so I would be multiclassed beyond usefulness. Come to think of it that is a pretty accurate representation...

[โ€“] Pandantic@midwest.social 18 points 1 day ago

Iโ€™m just multiclassed beyond usefulness.

Is my new go-to excuse.

[โ€“] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

I play wizard and am currently writing a PhD thesis. Checks out!

[โ€“] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

โ€œItโ€™s absurd, we have a play group of 20 and they are ALL WARLOCKS.โ€

โ€œMy patron is Geoffrey dโ€™Bezos, an arch fiend!โ€

โ€œSHUT THE FUCK UP RAYMOND!โ€

Damn I qualify for a lot of those:

  • Bard (guitar, keyboard, drums)
  • Druid (vegan and interested in volunteering in an animal sanctuary if i find one)
  • Fighter (years of historical longsword training + a few weeks viking style + a few sessions rapier and a course in dagger fighting)
  • Monk (Judo as a kid)
  • Ranger (archery as a teen)
  • Wizard (bachelor's degree in IT)

Rogue i might be able to pull off but idk if i still got it. I can move quietly but I'm also big

[โ€“] notthebees@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

HEMA is still a martial art. But that probably helps.

Also the big sneaky guys are always scary.

[โ€“] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I wonder how many groups would ever have a barbarian. A person with a temper that I ever see basically makes it to my 'don't-wanna-be-around' list.

[โ€“] Skua@kbin.earth 26 points 1 day ago

Depends on how they express the anger and who else is in the group, I suppose. One of my friends gets angry at games quite easily, but he doesn't take it out on anyone else and can accept a ribbing from the rest of us about it, so while it's a little annoying it doesn't ruin the time spent with him

I'm not great of any of these so I'll be a commoner. Unless LGBT+ Paladin counts

[โ€“] Triasha@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I would count it. Works for me too.

Honestly, warlock pally multi class with one level of wizard is not a bad build.

[โ€“] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if you're, like, really gay/trans.

[โ€“] Kaelygon@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Shame if allies don't count. It would sound fun beating enemis with a rainbow sword and the power of gay by my side

Only if you're really committed.

And you have to take a unicorn for your mount/companion who keeps getting distracted by dating every couple the party comes across.

[โ€“] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Play an Instrument"

RAW v RAI

I can play any and every instrument, badly. Rules never said play well.

Could you be a sorcerer if you're related to the DM?
