D&D General Classes getting along or not

[HorrorRogue]

Hey

Im wondering what classes or subclasses would get along or not in your opinion.

For example 3.5 player handbook each class has a paragraph or more under "other classes" about how said class gets along with others(like a Death Domain cleric would most likely get along with a wizard specialized in the school of necromancy in my opinion) that's what I'm wondering.

I'm aware any class can work together due to RP or whatever but I'm asking from a more generalized standpoint.

I like to imagine Clerics and Druids being in sort of a new religion vs old religion kind of soft conflict. Just a theme familiar from some old theories about the Christianization of Europe, you'd occassionally find in fantasy novels, like Kieth Taylor's Bard.

It's easy to imagine there being some tension between trained/civilized classes and talented/individualistic ones. Like Fighter, Monk, or Paladin vs Barbarian or Wizard vs Sorcerer.

The potential conflict between benevolent-deity Cleric/Paladin and Infernal Warlock is obvious, maybe a little trite.
Similarly, Paladin v Thief or Assassin (ie Rogue) is an old one.

I'm always shocked when everyone else doesn't get along with my Chaotic Evil assassin/ranger with humanoids as a favored enemy. So much for the tolerant Good alignments!

I assume your PC is a lizard man that refers to their compatriots as "Spare Rations"?

Fighter and Barbarian?

Weirdly, they take it a lot better when I tell them they're a total "snack."

"A cleric, a druid, and a warlock walk into a bar..."

All of this depends on specific characters, of course, but assuming traditional narratives, some of the sharpest conflicts might be within classes rather than between them. Imagine the conjuration and transmutation colleges competing for research funding, or the clerics falling on opposite sides of a recent theological schism.

Everyone likes the Bard, whether they know it or not.

You could probably steal this part from the 3.5 PHB and insert it into any existing campaign.
