RL Dip Classes

[freyar]

Every once in a while, we get threads asking what D&D class best represents us in real life. (Seems like mostly we're Experts.) Here's a variant question: do you have any dip classes? I think I have a level or so of some non-spellcasting Bard variant, since this past week I did my turn as an itinerant scholar visiting another university. Instead of singing for my supper (and airfare), I got to give a seminar, though. Probably easier on the ears. But what about you? I imagine most academics have a similar experience to me every once in a while -- any other common dip classes out there?

Sometimes, after a Quantum lecture, like a Wizard without spell slots!

Cheers, LT.

 

[Nifft]

One level of Barbarian.

"NERD RAGE variant", -- N

 

[S'mon]

I guess us academic lecturer types are non-spellcasting Wizard-Bards or similar?

I took a dip level in Aristocrat. I spent all my money in a week, and then I had to go back to being a commoner. Kind of sucked.

 

[Deekin]

I'm a fast hero 1 /smart hero 1

 

[Relique du Madde]

I'm pretty sure I'm at least Smart 1 / Goth 1. During High school I was a Fast 1 / Smart 1 but within one year of graduating then I ended up retraining the fast level as a result of going through a bad year.

I took a dip into the archivist class last semester when I buried myself in the library basement doing research for papers on theology(the origins of the trinity) and the Austro-Prussian War.

I'm thinking I took bard as a dip class then went rogue. I know a lot of pure random esoterica that tends to prove useful in odd ways.

However, in d20 Modern, it's a 3 level dip in Fast then onto smart.
