![]() Think on a class which can have very powerfull spells and still wear a fucking huge armour. Differently from other spellcasters, Clerics use divine spells, since their gods provide their magic, based on their faith. You might not want to follow the celibate life of a catholic priest, but clerics in D&D are actually very interesting, since they have a wide range of deities to pick, including Gods of Luck, War, Light, Forests and so on (check with Alex about different gods in his own scenario). Considering the 5.0 edition of D&D, I simply LOVE the Vicious Mockery attack: You make a joke of an enemy and it gets disadvantage on his/her next attack roll!! Hahahahaīards are usually good on skills and some type of spells, so I would say it’s a quite flexible type of class. They have lots of Charisma, and few tricks under their cuffs which can be very useful. It’s not like they all sing badly and scare other people, but it’s to show how different they are, and how uncanny their powers can be.įor those who haven’t read Uderzo and Goscinny’s books: it rains everytime Cacofonix sings… (definitely a protest from the Gods).īards are great classes for those who enjoy being diplomats, scoundrels or – why not – musicians. I always like to imagine bards as Cacofonix (from Asterix). Very complete guide – !-(A-Guide-to-the-5E-Barbarian) This doesn’t mean Barbarian are stupid guys, but they have their own tribal traditions and views of the world: the Goldmoon character in the Dragonlance chronicles is a perfect example on this. Inspired by the Viking berserkers, Barbarians can enter on rage to receive special powers, pursuing their hunger for… something (which you decide!)īeing raisen far from cities, they can be a very nice source of roleplaying, especially in an environment which requires finesse and etiquette. ![]() ![]() Yet, besides strength, they also have some very nice traits! The Barbarian is the most brutal class in Dungeons and Dragons, and I do not use this word in vain… Thus, it’s non official, non recognized by the community and probably labeled as heretic by some hardcore gamers… Still, I hope it can be useful for you :)Īnd now, please picture him: few clothes, loads of muscles, broad ‘n sharp sword, enemies being cut like butter… So, before I actually start talking about classes, I will highlight a very important thing: This is Chico’s view on D&D classes. Check them if you want, but unless Alex says it’s a must, I wouldn’t say it’s required. This might help those of you who are short on time to make a choice, and, perhaps, stimulate others to do research on your own! To help you with that, I will also add some useful links. My point here is not make a literature review about styles, characterization and roles, but give a brief introduction to the available D&D classes. Therefore, I decided to post it here, sharing my thoughts and opinions with you all:Īs I wrote to you earlier, I am here to help you choose your character :) Since all of them picked a class, and I got some nice comments about it, I felt it was quite successfull. It was something in between an invitation for them to read more about the game, and a reference manual for those who were lacking time. ![]() ![]() Some weeks ago I wrote a short guide to the D&D classes for my friends who were going to play RPG for the first time. ![]()
