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.

I love how 1E this idea feels.

Guess I'm just playing as Random Villager #12. 😮‍💨

No. you're Crewman #6.

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can multiclass the shit out of this.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yeah i hit all of these except two

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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

Hell yes, Abserd-style multiclass incoming.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One level in every class. Good luck.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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

New Party DM: "FUCK!"

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

All wizards parties, all the time...

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Gonna have a lot of warlocks.

I'm a warlock wizard multi class : /

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days 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...

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 18 points 2 days ago

I’m just multiclassed beyond usefulness.

Is my new go-to excuse.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 2 days 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.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 26 points 2 days 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

“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!”

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.

"Play an Instrument"

RAW v RAI

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

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Sas@beehaw.org 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I would count it. Works for me too.

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

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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?

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would not eating meat count for Druid? 🤔

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.
