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 1 month ago

I’m just multiclassed beyond usefulness.

Is my new go-to excuse.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 month ago (4 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 27 points 1 month 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

"Play an Instrument"

RAW v RAI

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

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

I think bards who use an instrument should be able to cast spells with verbal components while gagged

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Depends on if it's a bloodline relationship.

Handholding types get to be warlocks or clerics

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 month 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 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Hell yes, Abserd-style multiclass incoming.

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

One level in every class. Good luck.

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!

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I don't know how a GPA would translate from american to the rest if the world.

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

First you have to subtract 32 freedom units, then divide by 1.8 bald eagles.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ehhh I think we can happily just swap it out for "good grades and haven't left education early"

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Oh shit, I can be a wizard as well.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

I'm just glad it's not gpa AND a degree.

Though it's an engineering degree, and I'd be an artificer.

[–] mechanismatic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month 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.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

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

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

DM: Must have a god complex.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Complex? I find it quite simple

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Gonna have a lot of warlocks.

I'm a warlock wizard multi class : /

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I could be an Artificer, Warlock or Ranger.

Industrial mechanic, working for the government, have passed proficiency tests for weapons handling in the CAF.

[–] Sas@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

HEMA is still a martial art. But that probably helps.

Also the big sneaky guys are always scary.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can be any of these except for fighter just because I don't really want to kick my best friend's ass.

Then again, he is pretty scrappy, so like, I might end up getting my ass kicked instead if I tried, so either way, it's a wash for me.

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

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

I would count it. Works for me too.

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Commoner it is, unless my GPA from over 20 years ago counts

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

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

New Party DM: "FUCK!"

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Time to pick fighter class cracks knuckles hey, DM...

[–] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I qualify for every class but Wizard (DNF college and who remembers thier High School GPA from 20 years ago (fuck I'm Old)), Cleric (Atheist), or Warlock (work in a small local trade shop).

I reject instruments only for bard, but I can play an ocarina poorly anyways.

Question about Sorcerer, what makes a family heirloom powerful? Is it size? Weight? Monetary Value? Notoriety?

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anything is powerful if you can sell the idea of it being powerful. Admittedly mine is a stretch but a fully functional and stable Windows Me laptop.

Magical cursed object.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

I play wizard and am currently writing a PhD thesis. Checks out!

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Electric wizard!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Either warlock or wizard for me. My brother qualifies for druid and monk, but i'm sure he'd go for fighter just to beat the DM

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I inherited my fathers sword, shield, and cloak, so maybe sorceror? Is there one that uses weapons like that? I haven't played one in ages.
