Class and personality
Hey
My group is doing a new campaign, it's a Gothic horror campaign. My favorite. Anyways we're picking classes based off our personality. I'm aware you can be any class in DnD. I'm just wondering out of the Info I put what class sticks out?
I'm not super chaotic or impulsive.
I'm not super rebellious(I can be when I need to be) Im a liberal atheist and to my parents and city I grew up in could be seen as rebellious though. I believe it to be logical but in this town its more uncommon.
I can be very controlling, But have moments where I'd like someone to choose something. Not common though.
I tend to be a talker and a listener
I can be picky with some things.
I have OCD about certain things.
Don't like being micromanaged and speak up against things I don't agree with when needed
Very much about efficiency and accuracy
Id say I prefer to stick to a routine or a group of things that I enjoy and I dont usually Deviate from them
If I have a particular type of day in mind, I dont usually like straying from it. But it depends on what things happen. If the deviation is suddenly going to a Halloween store(I love Halloween time and horror movies) then Im sure I'll enjoy it
I'm very competitive. If I lose I just practice to become better or watch videos to get better.
I've been described as an jock/need combo and I'd say it's accurate. weight lifting and geek stuff
Science minded
I don't like fake people. I don't like hypocrites. I'll call it out if I see it.
I'm very opinionated. Possibly annoyingly so
I'm persistent though some would say relentless. I'm determined. I do however like to joke around and be goofy to people close to me. I know how to keep conversations going and control the room if I want to.
Impatient. Something I'm working on.
I'm somewhat traditional. But their my own traditions
Always learning something
Practical/Pragmatic
Logical and analytical. Very important to me.
Confident
Good at trivia games.
Believe people should be able to learn and have knowledge available o them
Try to keep everything fair

Re: Class and personality
This comes down entirely to roleplay which is usually informed more by your background, personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws, than by your class.
That being said however several of the things you mentioned are more closely tied to intelligence than any other stat, so I might go with either wizard or artificer as the Int based classes.

Re: Class and personality
Isn't this like 3rd time I've seen this thread with few months in between?
Play whatever you like. Classes have little to do with personality.It's Eberron, not ebberon.
It's not high magic, it's wide magic.
And it's definitely not steampunk. The only time steam gets involved is when the fire and water elementals break loose.

Re: Class and personality
Yeah, I cant be sure its the same table that is doing this again or if this is a thing that lots of people do? If its the same table, arent you going to keep getting the same class? Also, personality sounds like a terrible metric for determining what to play. A wizard can be a chaotic trickster just as easily as a studious bookworm or a power hungry tyrant. The correct and honest answer to your question, in my opinion is any class.

Re: Class and personality
+10.
One can be a sophisticated barbarian; one can be a biplor rogue; one can be a shrinking violet warlock or a sorcerer with a gregarious personality. And so on.
Recommendation:
high elf arcane trickster rogue. One of your expertise slots needs to be in charisma based skill like deception, intimidation, or persuasion. The other ought to be in either Athletics or Acrobatics.

Re: Class and personality
I agree with what everyone else has said regarding the basic premise.
Having said that, sounds like maybe an Enchanter Wizard?Proclaiming something "objectively" true or false does not excuse you from proving it so.

Re: Class and personality
Okydoke. That brings several tropes.
Anyways we're picking classes based off our personality.
Instead of asking some potentially hurtful questions, I'll just tell you to roll a d10:
Roll a d10.
1-2. Acolyte
3-4. Guild Artisan
5-6. Hermit
7-8. Noble
9-10. Sage
Gothic Horror, you say? Roll a d6:
1. Cleric
2. Fighter
3. Paladin
4. Ranger
5. Rogue
6. Warlock
Play what you get.

Re: Class and personality
Definitely a rogue of some kind. I'd also consider Mastermind or Thief. Rogue are skilled; it is easy to imagine one who is analytical, studious, a nerd about their specialties. They're also jocks - you have to be in shape to run, climb, jump and stab like a rogue. Rogues also have a long history of being up and down the full length of the charisma scale. Gregarious hero-thieves to loner in the corner, rogues can fit it all.

Re: Class and personality
From what you've described, I'd say Wizard. Perhaps with a level or two of Bard.

Re: Class and personality
Oath of glory paladin, it is a paladin about being the bestest and encouraging others to do so as well.
Charisma for the talky talky, micromanagement is low because no one can tell to what to do. And you hit stuff really hard for truth and justice.

From one atheist to another,
Paladin does suggest having a god or such, but is not a requirement. Also have a chat with your DM, as even in the case of needing a God D&D settings tend to work very differently than the real world on that front.
In FR for example it is not out of the question for gods to be people you have met directly, or in Eberron the gods are less distant but have angels that claim to be direct servants or are able to perform similar roles themselves.
This leaves a bunch of possibilities:
- serving a cause, ideal, principle or faction
- a Dean Winchester who doesn't believe in God but believes in Angels and at one point prayed to Castiel directly because they had been helping eachother for a year or two at that point
- a God like Mystra or Bahaumet, who just interacts with mortals periodically, you serve them because they are help people and you want to do similar by helping them. They are an ally on friendly terms first and a God secondLast edited by Witty Username; 2024-03-23 at 07:55 PM.
