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.

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

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

Time to pick fighter class cracks knuckles hey, DM…

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

It counts

All wizards parties, all the time…

But if I need to do the thing to multiclass, I can’t be a fighter.

I’m either fighting my husband, and I… can’t beat him up I’d be sad, or I’d literally being fighting my father’s squire. He’d kick my ass.

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

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.

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

Also the big sneaky guys are always scary.

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

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

Magical cursed object.

You could always ask your friend to spar. Or do some boxing and win really hard. Take the friendship to the next level and Dom them.

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

We use percentile in Canada.

Just looked it up and it seems that GPA is a scale that’s linear from 1-4 but everything below 1 is a 0. A is 4, B is 3 and so on.

The conversion from letter grades to percentages can vary though but one example only has a D for 65% which makes B an 83-86% or a GPA of 3.

Failing a class with percentages does count a lot more towards a average than a GPA depending on how hard you fail. Getting a 20% would still be a 0 GPA as well as a 55%. For four classes you could get A, A, A, F and have a GPA of 3 but in percentages you could 100%, 100%, 100% and 0% to get a 75% average.

Needless to say, when taking all the letter grades together they are a weighted average based on the credits given.

Hell yes, Abserd-style multiclass incoming.

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.
