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…
I’m just multiclassed beyond usefulness.
Is my new go-to excuse.
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.
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
Nah, some people have short fuses, some have very particular things/scenarios that set them off. Just don’t step on their feet, and back them up if someone’s pushing their buttons accidentally/on purpose.
Literally talking to my DM about this right now. You have to grade on a curve but absolutely good, kind, even in control people can be barbarians. Frankly the entire self-limitation people put on themselves by forcing a class based on tropes is getting tiring.
Hell, I had an idea for a barbarian that doesn’t get bad but instead just locks in. Just goes real quiet and fuck’s shit up.
You can also make a paladin that doesn’t wear plate armour, who uses a bow, and who’s oath is to protect their village or simply they just love their wife a lot and it’s their wedding vows.
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
Hell yes, Abserd-style multiclass incoming.
One level in every class. Good luck.
No you start at level 1 with 1/13 of a level from every class
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.
All wizards parties, all the time…
“Play an Instrument”
RAW v RAI
I can play any and every instrument, badly. Rules never said play well.
Play the music from tape while miming on the instrument. Surely, acting falls within the scope of bardic abilities!
Or just do some form of oration (rousing speeches, telling jokes, rapping …). Bards don’t have to play an instrument, and using your voice for your bardic performance is way more practical than bringing some instrument on the road.
I think bards who use an instrument should be able to cast spells with verbal components while gagged
“It’s absurd, we have a play group of 20 and they are ALL WARLOCKS.”
“My patron is Geoffrey d’Bezos, an arch fiend!”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP RAYMOND!”
Would bard-warlock multiclass just be that one Bo Burnham song about Jeffrey Bezos?
Yes.
I can multiclass the shit out of this.
yeah i hit all of these except two
Stupid DM has eyes in the back of his head and thighs like steel!
Also buns of aluminium. It’s a known problem
I’m so curious which two.
that would be telling, wouldn’t it
👀👀👀
Could you be a sorcerer if you’re related to the DM?
Depends on if it’s a bloodline relationship.
Handholding types get to be warlocks or clerics
Gonna have a lot of warlocks.
I’m a warlock wizard multi class : /
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.
If FOSS counts, there’s going to be a ton of Paladins in this party.
This is the exact reason I learned to play the ukulele
I don’t know any instruments (yet), but I can bring a vuvuzela and learn real quick during the next session
Vicious mockery on a Vucuzela makes a lot of sense honestly.
Aztec death whistle would also be interesting. IDK how hard it actually is to produce that sound and it’s definitely harder to find (or make) than a vuvuzela, but you certainly don’t need to know any music and the effect is really impressive.
Old Party DM: “God damnit, everyone’s just playing wizards. We need to mix it up!”
New Party DM: “FUCK!”
Hmm, some of these work. My DM does enjoy that good grass so there are some sessions where I could steal his entire box of dice without him noticing. Rogue it is, then!
