So when we have all the PHB classes, who is rolling what? I personally can't wait for my Drow spore druid

Half-elf paladin/hexblade: prob selune drow or wood elf half for the movement speed.

Human Paladin/Champion as its my most favorite class and i do that in every game. That is my main character. Actually I play paladins always where I can.

I'm boring and always play a Rogue in this kind of game because I like scouting ahead. So, probably what I'm playing in EA now, a Half Wood Elf Rogue/Thief.

I'm thinking of a dwarf druid, but I'll have to see what the graphics are like first. If they resemble the druids of Druid's Grove then I'm in.

Of course, I will almost certainly end up with dozens of characters because that's what I do.

Probably rogue, bard, or ranger. I like having my skill-focused classes.

Human Paladin of Kelemvor

Female Wood Elf Rogue, since I doubt I'll be able to get my Bard/AA/Assassin build from NWNs.

I can't even begin to decide now. But if I HAD to decide now, I'd say a Rogue, but not sure what race. Elf or half-elf, probably.

I hope they have the multitude of cleric domains available. Tempest domain or forge domain.

Also, Paladin, and monk. Love me some monk.

Actually no idea but atm I am enjoying a scale mail wearing Githyanki Wizard...

I went with a Githyanki wizard as well. Medium armor with +2 dex on a wizard for the win.

Seldarine Drow Bard... College of Whispers, or the Sword... or Spirits, should Larian include UA material.

Circle of Spores is not PHB. I hope we get some non PHB subclasses, especially hexblade. If nothing else, these will probably get modded in easily, as subclasses rarely require new assets.



This is exactly the character I want to play, too. I like playing unheroic heroes. Bilbo Baggins energy.

Other than that, what I am most excited to play is a shadow monk / assassin or arcane trickster with the warlock initiate feat for Hex.

Paladin Warlock.
Hex blade if it gets added (probably not for launch) but a paladin 2/Fiend pact of the blade lock. Will need stat rolling to get decent enough stats (will need Str+con+cha)
My idea is that by level 7 I will have decent ranged and melee with good "Face" skills. Face being face of the party so will be prof in persuade/intimidate/deception. Leave other skills to party members as I would in table top.

Either a human fighter/eldritch knight or an elf life cleric.

Half-Elf Bard, Paladin or Warlock (for a not goody-two-shoes character).

I just love CHA classes and I always go Half-Elf when given the opportunity.

Saying that, I really liked my Ranger Hunter Bounty Hunter Urban tracker in the EA.

Human- Battle Cleric or Storm Cleric

Actually, Rogue/Warlock IF multiclassing is added and IF Devil's Sight is fixed.

For sure I will have my Half Drow Rogue (AT) and Drow Warlock (GOO)

Probably will also have a Tiefling Fighter (EK), Half Elf Sorcerer, Death Domain Cleric (not sure what race) and some sort of Eldritch Archer (Warlock/Ranger)

Gnome if available - druid.
Halfling Monk is the runner up.

Wood elf / Druid

Depends on if yuanti is implemented or not.

Depends a lot on final class implementations but likely from the following:

Half Wood Elf Ranger

Human Barbarian

Half Wood Elf Paladin

Half Wood Elf Cleric

I'd go for draconic bloodline sorcerer (either silver or gold dragon), seldarine drow of course. Depending if we get to have draconic bloodlines, otherwise wild magic it is.

I've heard 5e sorcerers are pretty pants, so I'm definitely doing that. As for race, I'd like to see how the world reacts to a halfling.

human fighter or paladin most likely.

High elf, wizard, evocation school

We already have chainlocks, so all I need to recreate my current D&D character are aarakocras.


If we're only getting PHB races, I'll probably go for the dragonborn sorcerer.

I'd love to make an Aasimar, but I do have a deep love for Tieflings, so even if they don't add some of the more interesting races (Aasimar/Dragonborn/Half-Orc/Firbolg/etc), I think I'll be happy. Honestly, right now I'm just itching to see more classes and subclasses. Really excited to see whatever the next content is that's added to EA.

Tiefling sorceress or bard. Probably sorceress - unleashing havoc is just too much fun.

Dragonborn Paladin - Oath of Vengeance. DIVINE SMITE!!

Well I'm really liking the Ranger character, and for some weird reason I am digging the whole "part demon" vibe so probably something in there.

Although after meeting Sazza, I really really hope they have goblins as a playable race. Normally I just don't go for Dwarves/Halflings or anything like that ... but she really intrigues me.

Human Paladin of Tyr. Great grandson of the paladi. I ascended to Godhoid at end of baldurs 2. I plan on killing the Gith and Shadow soon as they give me that judge dress vibe that Tyr wants me to bring the law!!!

Hunter Ranger and Hexblade

I certainly hope that Wyll gets redone as a hexblade. Not only will it make more sense, he'll be a more useful companion character.

Not going to happen. His patron is a character in the game and part of his quest line.

Edit: that being said, Larian did see that they were looking into options to respec the companions, which doesn’t make any sense to me seeing as most of their stories are built around their class, so who knows.

Tiefling Warlock, hands down. Favourite race-class combo. I'd go with Fey-pact warlock assuming it makes the cut.

Will co-op with le bf at launch, and I've set my mind on being a Half Wood-Elf (Beastmaster) Ranger :P

So I'm NOT playing that for EA, wouldn't be fair to him otherwise imo.

Assuming no multiclass and such, very likely Wood Elf Ranger just so I could replace that obnoxious addict Astarion for lockpicks/stealth/sleight of hand proficiency. Prefer this to Rogue as a whole, I don't know if what I see in EA will survive to launch, but you can cheese so hard with ranged attacks and stealth, it's ridiculous.

That's already level 3 Ranger there.



You can basically solo entire temple courtyard like this, by the time they even spot you - you killed half of them, after that you can just run off and hide and keep at it.

And you start with all this level 1 too with Wood Elf Ranger in BG3, they give you 2 proficiencies on top.

Probably Drow Thief unless Monk or another class emerges that also emphasizes extra actions and reliable bonus damage. Thief to me feels incredibly fun and there's virtually never a time where I feel like I have nothing to do for my turn as a Thief. Drow mostly because it's extra dex and super darkvision (which is great for making sneak attacks).

I've also just tried this but in keeping DEX and WIS high, INT and CHA are still too low to make use of any skills related to them.

I tried to make it so that all the skills in that list were DEX and WIS ones, but there is still some overlaps like with Arcana, in that case I guess just ignore Arcana and keep Gale for that.

High Elf Wizard, ideally bladesinger, if there is no bladesinger, I'll probably go for with some fighter/eldritch knight levels mixed with pure wizard I suppose.

Human or Half-High Elf Paladin

Some sort of gish Is always fun. I had a Magus in Pathfinder I really really liked.

Gish are my favourite playstyle!

In Kingmaker, I wanted to try a pnp build I had which was an Arcane Archer, so I made the class for that game (A touch of magic mod)

I really hope they add Bladesinger and Hexblade to BG3, or that modding it is reasonably doable like Kingmaker.

Human Sorcerer, since Human Wizard is Gale and Human Warlock is Wyll.

I mean, technically the subclass means a shadowfell patron rather than an infernal one, but, eh... the rest makes so much more sense that I can see ignoring that yet going for the mechanics.

High Elf Paladin inspired by Tolkiens Fingolfin

Lolth Drow Pali OR Drow Warlock having a hard time deciding.

White guy chad.

J/K

Probably bearded white guy because I have a beard. With long hair because I don't have as much as I used to.

EDIT: I know, I know.
