What Type of D&D Character Should You Play?

[ProphetofGanja]

Survey here

I've been planning on getting into Dungeons & Dragons recently and so I've been reading up on everything I can. Lately I've started thinking about characters I would play or campaigns I would run as a Dungeon Master.

This survey is lengthy but it does a pretty good job of breaking down the different aspects of a D&D character. Of course one of the main aspects of D&D is role-playing so you can just choose whatever type of character you want, but if you want to play a character that feels like yourself and would act and react accordingly, with all your strengths and weaknesses, this is a fun way to pick one.

On my most recent completion of this survey I got Neutral Good Human Bard and the time before that I got Chaotic Good Half-Elf Wizard (because for some questions there's no answer that feels "just right", and your answer may change depending on your mood or something)

Does it have Rogues? Because I love me my Rogues. I'll check it out and see what it gives me.

Edit: Nope, but seeing it goes by actual personal choices, etc, then I guess it wouldn't turn out that way.

I understand what your talking about in needing to take it more than once.

Those are some nice stats but based on that I think barbarian or fighter is more appropriate.

That doesn't even make sense. Paladins have to be Lawful Good. This quiz is confused, haha.

I will take your word for it because I don't even know the slightest about any of that or interpreting the stats.

Barbarian and fighter sound dull compared to sorcerer. I'm not sure I would like that.

Yes, it assigns you an alignment (lawful/neutral/chaotic, good/neutral/evil), race (dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, half-orc, halfling, human), and class (barbarian, bard, cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, wizard). It also calculates a level and stats based on the confidence/consistency of your answers.

Only the basic options for class and race, but it's a pretty good starting point

I've done this one before, and I think I got something really boring like a human fighter.

In real life I prefer playing Elves, and for classes I like Bards or anything flamboyant and swashbuckler-y. I really enjoy the Swordmage class in 4e, it's not the best defender but it's a lot of fun, especially if you're a Eladrin Elf and can teleport multiple times.

As a long-time player and DM, I say play whatever catches your inagination. For me it is elves or half-dragons(yes that is an actual "race" with variations depending on the type of dragon parent) or gnomes, and for classes I like bards, wizards or multi-class fighter/mage (bladesingers and the like). In fact I am running my regular library game this Saturday. Should be fun- the group is in a goblin lair that is actually the upper level of a dragon's den.....
