[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 8611064, member: 7034710"] Hmmm i think i'd divide them up into: Heavy Hitter: Fighter, Monk, Druid and the Barbarian Lots of HP, Heavy armour or high unarmoured AC, good with dealing lots of straight up basic damage with weapons and direct fighting, No [I]magical casting[/I] abilities but various techniques: fighter maneuvers, ki techniques, wildshape, rage stuff. Light Striker: Rogue, Ranger, (Combat Oriented)Bard, Paladin Has mid-level HP and Medium armour, lower base damage with limited martial weapons but uses a shared core bonus dice mechanic that scales to deal extra damage in certain circumstances that is expressed differently for each: sneak attack, hunter's mark or animal companions and bardic inspiration on their own or other's attacks, smite, Some magic access but 1/3 caster at most. Researcher: Wizard, Artificer, (Knowledge/Skill Oriented)Bard, Rogue, Ranger Medium HP Low AC, if they have magic then not many offensive spells, various combinations of lots of skills or lots of bonuses to the skills they do have, utility party members, simple weapons mostly, Good with social mechanics/npc interactions. Magic User: Wizard, Warlock, Sorcerer, Cleric, Bard Low HP, Low-Med AC, Full casters lots of spells, not great in melee, simple weapons, you know the drill. Healer and Support: Cleric, Ranger, Druid, Paladin Medium HP and AC, Some martial weapon access, Full caster but mostly healing, buffing or support magic, not great at dealing damage by themselves but good at facilitating other people to do damage. Magic Warriors: Paladin, Ranger, Artificer, Druid, Bard Med HP and AC again, martial weapons, half casters, magic is mostly damage dealing or self-focused buffs [/QUOTE]
