As a software dev with no college degree, it feels weird to not fit into the wizard category because of a technicality. >.>
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!”
Would not eating meat count for Druid? 🤔
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.
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
👀👀👀
Gonna have a lot of warlocks.
I’m a warlock wizard multi class : /
All wizards parties, all the time…
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.
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’m not great of any of these so I’ll be a commoner. Unless LGBT+ Paladin counts
I would count it. Works for me too.
Honestly, warlock pally multi class with one level of wizard is not a bad build.
Only if you’re, like, really gay/trans.
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.

“Play an Instrument”
RAW v RAI
I can play any and every instrument, badly. Rules never said play well.
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.
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.
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.
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
oh fuck yes i love Wizardry
