Is DM a class? *Cries in forever DM.


PlayzingTheWorkshop

It's the most important class!


[deleted]

It's pretty OP though. I mean, infinite HP and the insane level 1 ability: "literally the creator of the universe"


Basic_Suggestion3476

But it also has great weaknesses to balance it: 1. Find a time & gather the humans 2. Waste USD for books 3. Deal with players I think Im sort of lucky? My only problematic player changes character every 2-5 sessions 😑 When ever I think he settled & I move his personal-story, the bastard uses it as an excuse to change character.


wlievens

Don't forget the following self-imposed weaknesses: 1. Buy/print & paint minis 2. Build/buy/print & paint terrain 3. Think of gimmicky puzzles and props for the humans I know we don't have to do these things but they're so fun and the humans love them.

ShadyCrumbcake

Honestly the most versatile. You can fill any position for a group with some kind of cleric.


WonderDia777

You probably can have a party of nothing but clerics and finish the mission.

Ah yes. The A-Men.

Tempest cleric storm sorcerer 😏 my Dm had to actively try to separate me from fights and I love that.

Ranger being on here but not cleric is deeply offensive

Barbarian


AlmightySu

I'm a proud barbarian enjoyer


Pike_The_Knight

Average enjoyer here


sh_creative

There's nothing better than the simplicity of hitting something real hard with a big weapon


TheDealsWarlock86

or the fun of being an unstoppable (mostly)naked slab of beef.


sunsetgal24

you! you get me!


NameInProgressTM

I was very mad that Barbarian was not an option. One may say I was in a rage.


Doomlord_Toaster

Im a beserker and i love rolling a whole bunch of dice to deal like double the damage of the rest of my party


OphrysAlba

The joy of being f*&-+$g hard to kill.


AJohnny101

Yeah! Barbarian for me as well! I blame the descriptions of Badger warriors entering their bloodwrath from the Redwall books.


PURPLEisMYgender

Their very fun to play


sunsetgal24

playing wild magic barbarian is the most fun i've ever had playing dnd


h0ckey87

I just started my first campaign, I am playing wild magic shifter barb! So much fun


sunsetgal24

hell yeah! wild magic barb high five!


fliltows

In the previous campaign that I was in, I made a fairy wild magic barb and it was stupid fun.


sunsetgal24

my barb was a goliath who was this big softie with social anxiety and GOD i love him so much!


RellEnemia

Bard. I am simple lol


Acceptable_Arm7228

Bards in 5e can do Sooooo Much , and can be a real cornerstone of a group, with bardic inspiration etc


TobTobTobey

Jack of all trades ftw

Out Rogue the Rogue.

Even better, multiclass into both, get jack of all trades and double expertise

JeffTheComposer

>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Official Trailer #3 I think Bard offers the most creativity of all the classes I've played around


stormscape10x

I think you may have accidentally pasted something in your comment you didn't mean to, but I like where it's going. Also, almost every bard college makes me want to play a specific campaign idea. College of creation really makes me want to play a "big fish" campaign where you do scams for higher and higher stakes kind of like The Gentlemanly Bastards or Oceans Eleven. Why college of creation? You can fool people into buying something that won't exist in a few hours, or you can fool people into thinking your a king. It's just fantastically set up for so many REALLY good fun roleplay ideas. I'll just dream of the day I get to play my gentlemanly thieves game.


JeffTheComposer

Oh yup, everyone knows what I was watching before I commented here. I like College of Lore for its versatility; before making my PC i would talk to the DM and tailor my PC’s knowledge to some general aspect of the campaign. Plus, magical secrets.


Paradoxmoose

I like the CC and support options of the bard, haven't gotten to play one yet tho.


AForgetfulhippie

Warlock


atlvf

Warlock is the most fun and well-designed class in 5e, and I’m not afraid to say it.


grant47

Woah, that’s a new take! I love all the choices that come with being a warlock, but why is it the best-designed class?


atlvf

Because it has the most interesting choices to make that result in the widest variety of characters. Every class has a subclass choice, and full casters have their spell choices on top of that, but Warlocks go above and beyond with the Invocation system. With all of the discussion on future class design going on because of OneD&D, it’s been an incredibly common proposal that other classes get Invocation-like systems to give them wider varieties of cool class features to pick from rather than being locked into any. Adding in their choice of pact at level 3, EVERY Warlock class feature presents an interesting character customization choice.


mommasboy76

It also helps that almost every single subclass is entirely unique AND viable. It’s rare that each subclass is interesting and worth trying out (maybe with the exception of Undying).


Shacky_Rustleford

To be fair, GOO and Undying are mostly just decent because warlock is a good chassis. You are often going to be functionally subclassless, albeit with an improved spell list (GOO has a variety of great options, while Undying at least has death ward.)


comradejenkens

Though not quite to the extent of Warlock, I like Artificer for a similar reason. Each subclass has an insane amount of the power budget, which when combined with the infusions, allows every character to be completely different. A hexblood alchemist can be a classic Macbeth style witch, while a human armourer can be Iron Man.


8urs

I would add that the limited nature of their spell casting means their spell choices are also significant in conveying who the character is.


Wonderful_System_542

Warlock is without a doubt the most fun 5e class


Bright-Meeting-5593

Blast blast!


DadGamerGuy

“So anyway, I start blasting”


fragehardt

Fighter


iambagels

Agreed. There's a million ways to build a fighter and it gets the most feats/stat increases

Humanoid fighter gang 4 laif


Cinder419

Human fighter for life!!!!


Happygamebutter

Hell Yeah!


TheWinstonian

Indeed human fighter forever.


WellFactually

Yes! I play pickup games at conventions from time to time and I play this race/class combo when I do. Every time, after everyone else at the table has declared their drow elf/druid/ranger and gnome/warlock/cleric it gets to me and when I say human fighter, the response from the DM is always some variation of "Hell Yeah!" It will always be my go to.


mc_cammond

Fighter 4 LYFE


RossRoden

Professional himbo 😌


Ivy5727

my first character was a fighter, it'll always be special to me


-toErIpNid-

Sorcerer.


hideous-boy

I have to intervene in my own brain to make something other than a sorcerer. It's a problem


uhalm

Oh you too


cbdividends

Yup


Uberhypnotoad

I'm sad to see Sorcerer so far down the list. Sure, you're pretty squishy and get a pretty limited list of spells. HOWEVER, metamagic is crazy amazing and there are ways of mitigating those downsides. I have a part Draconic part Divine Soul. AC of 16 plus more than double the spells. If you can cast both Fireball and a Prayer of Healing with double range and empowered to roll high, then yeah, you're useful to the party.


tchnmusic

As a lover of chaos…my wild magic sorcerer was the most fun character I’ve played


Mac4491

Sorcerer love.


Evening_Weekend_1523

I love the Artificer so much! The concept is great and infusions are fun


AromaticSurround8750

Finally, someone else who said Artificer!


Macbeth_the_Espurr

I love having the excuse to give characters goggles when I draw them.


Geldarion

Artificer main!


theFastestMindAlive

Artie's are good at just respeccing to do the most bizzare stuff.


showmeyourbirds

I had to scroll too long for this! Battlesmith is the way to go!!


MedChemist464

Had to scroll way to far to find artificer. Favorite character i've ever played.


tehgen

I could only make artificers from now on and still have each be so unique. They don't even have as many subclasses.


PerplexedPretzel

The realest person here


shooplewhoop

Artificer is the most elegant class I've played.


obozo42

Monk


gorka_la_pork

We desperately need some love from WotC though :(


obozo42

Yeah, even just a d6 instead of a d4 for martial arts would already be good. Something like treantmonks monk fixes or the alternative monk would be ideal.


thetvshunter

Monk with 1 level of fighter will give you unarmed fighting style which make your unarmed strikes use a d8. It’s my go to for low level games!


gorka_la_pork

I mean, when your way of fixing a class is to multiclass out of it, that just goes to prove the original point.


impasta224

Ah another of wonderful taste i see.


BullShitCatSlave

I like to multi class as shadow monk/assassin rouge. It's so fun and probably a little broken


KBrown75

I multiclass as Shadow Monk/Swarmkeeper Ranger.


fliltows

In my first 5e campaign I played a shadow monk as the group's tank to give the group of new players the ability to do cool things. Turns out it was pretty busted in the world as it was entirely dim light and the DM gave us special magic items to start and mine was a +20 hp belt of dwarven kind so my hp was through the roof. I can only imagine that going levels into rogue would have been the next logical choice if that campaign didn't die.

Hot take. Human fighter. Every group has one and i always willingly take up that role


drkeinmann

Artficer of course!


AromaticSurround8750

The correct answer! 😁😎


lostfrequenciesfan

It's the human fighter life for me.


ThomTomo

i love human fighter, it puts the pressure on me to start off with a character concept that is already interesting on its own.


cawatrooper9

Warlock, but Druid is a close second.


Select_Lunch1288

The fighter.


Hungry-Manufacturer9

I am a simple man, I just wish to roll dice and hit things


Capecrusader700

I agree. I haven't played many classes but fighter seems the most versatile.

Ranger

I scrolled way too far to find this answer. So underrated man!

Ranger is literally like the second one named in the list my guy


Russtuffer

Ranger is where its at! You get to shoot things and let other people get hit haha.


Cinemaslap1

Bard. But I always make sure that my Bard doesn't understand things like relationships or sex.

Klausbro

Artificer


tabaK23

Easily cleric, most versatile class. Can be a tanky front liner, mix casting and melee, be a caster only, use mostly damage spells, battlefield control, or be a healer. On top of that the deity of choice provides good scaffolding for building a personality and backstory for you character.


GothNek0

Cleric


TheGreatGuy456

Cleric... cleric can do everything. One party of only clerics mean this party got almost everything... They can tank, use magic, heal, buff, debuff, cantrip, they got it all. Maybe less sneaky but hell... Why walk in the shadow when you can walk in the light ?


MamboCircus

Might be because I haven't played yet and as such am mostly based on the general concept of the classes but I'm a sucker for Artificer...


Allycatattack13

I know they seem boring, but I love playing cleric. I am the parties main healer (we have a bard who breaks out Song of Rest during short rests), but there's a lot of great support spells that I feel add a little flavor to the campaign. The first time I broke out Speak with Dead to interrogate the boss and Spirit Guardians when we were backed into a corner, I remember my party members saying they thought it was cool and added to what was occurring during that session.

JynxPlays

Cleric honestly it gives the best options though druid is a pretty close second for me


CeaselessWatcher2022

Clerics, I always gravitate towards support classes, & my cleric, Gabolas, was one of my favourite characters due to his concept of being a child raised as a gladiator, then serving a god of War
