The four types of characters:
1. Fiteman
2. Good buddy
3. Fireball
4. Other

[TheGuardDuck]

Our party has a first time player. He picked Wizard. He is literally killing it in both the combat and role-play. I'm freaking amazed, dude's a genius.

[richardcrossley]

A necromancer is just a really late healer....

[RianeBane]

I've been dying to play D&D for years, and I've finally signed up for my first game this weekend. It's an one-shot homebrew game in which the party will be *only bards.*
To say I am pumped is an understatement.

[supershinystar]

I have a bard character with a magic flute that could make her communicate with animals and plants. But I remember this one time. We were walking through the forest and my character was getting bored. So she plays a random tune and accidentally offends a tree. And the tree smacks our Barbarian. It was hilarious

[ivybennett]

"Support classes dont do a ton of damage"
>puts paladin in there, literally the king of burst damage

[siegfried]

Clerics and Paladins: Two support classes that, in the accurate words of Jocat, can tank, smite and instill fright.

[goldenpants]

If you wanna be powerful: fighter
If you want something simple: fighter
If you want to be versatile: fighter
If it’s your first time: fighter
If you want to be tanky: fighter
If you want to be a damage dealer: fighter

Bard: ok I'm gonna play through the fire and flames

*guitar starts literally spitting fire

[erdervv]

(Playing pathfinder)

"Ok guys, what characters do you want to play as?"

"Barbarian"
"Gunslinger"
"Slayer"
"Ninja"

"...this is going to be a shitshow"

And that was the start of the greatest campaign i ever had the pleasure to play in.

[sampepper]

“...rather than doing loads of damage”

paladin: *laughs in smite*

[davidtorne]

The Druid has more spells than the Cleric actually. Druids: 151, Clerics: 116. Not only they have a lot more spells, they also have to learn many forms from the Beastiary. So they have to learn a lot more than the Cleric to be played well. I'd say the Druid is quite more advanced

[QuintonCenter]

"Your whole party has got SWORDS and BATTLEAXES and SPELLS that can cast from their HANDS and their WANDS, and you're in the back with a guitar going *DEEDEEDLDEEDEEDLEDEE* and people EXPLODE for some reason."

Haha. The bard in a nutshell.

[flyingfujigi]

I once played a wild mage and instead of using one, I used a mechanic called the unlucky number. After initiative I would roll an extra d20, then for the rest of the encounter if I rolled that number I activated my DMs custom 1-20 sheet. One time I was fighting an ancient black dragon in my friends home-brew campaign, and I rolled a 13, my unlucky number, and the dragon exploded into a tsunami of gold coins that killed the whole party. We then played another campaign in the same setting and came upon a cavern filled to the brim with gold coins, and five corpses buried in the treasure. That guy was a quality DM.

[bruhboss]

"Clerics, paladins, and bards are support"

*_JoCat would like to know your location_*

[nikitamalikov]

'and everyone turned into sheep. Even Strahd!'
As soon as I can, I am playing Sorcerer and using every unlucky die I can beg, steal or borrow.

[ForemostCrab]

Necromancer Gnome (tinier halfling) who has a Skeleton carrying him around cause his legs be too damn short to keep up with the party and leaves him quite winded.

[InquisitorThomas]

These classes are for filthy casuals, real D&D players chose to play Halfling Farmers who lost both their arms in their backstory and fight by holding a rake in their teeth!

[taxidermy]

So he convinced me to play a bard by his explanation of a bard. I’M PLAYING MY FIRST EVER GAME OF D&D TOMORROW WISH ME LUCK PLEASE
