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 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 2 days ago (1 children)

One level in every class. Good luck.

I can multiclass the shit out of this.

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

yeah i hit all of these except two

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

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 66 points 3 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 19 points 2 days ago

I’m just multiclassed beyond usefulness.

Is my new go-to excuse.

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

All wizards parties, all the time...

I love how 1E this idea feels.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

No. you're Crewman #6.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

New Party DM: "FUCK!"

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 3 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 3 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

Gonna have a lot of warlocks.

I'm a warlock wizard multi class : /

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

“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!”

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Would bard-warlock multiclass just be that one Bo Burnham song about Jeffrey Bezos?

"Play an Instrument"

RAW v RAI

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

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 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.

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Depends on if it's a bloodline relationship.

Handholding types get to be warlocks or clerics

[–] mechanismatic@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days 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.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

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

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days 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!

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

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

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!

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This is the exact reason I learned to play the ukulele

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

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

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

I would count it. Works for me too.

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