D&D 5E When you do not know what class to play, just use your birthdate

On one hand, it would give very little variation among classes I play.
On the other hand, the suggested class for my birthday is in fact what I end up playing when in doubt...

I think I like this chart, all things considered.

 

[Seramus]

I love the idea, but one of my tables would just be 5 Bards.

 

[Anoth]

I’ll just roll 1d365 for my characters birthday and that will be his class. I don’t want to play a barbarian everytime so I can’t use my birthday.

 

[TwoSix]

Hmm...I know we had a thread a little while back about associating the classes with astrological signs, I'll have to dig it up.

 

[Anoth]

That would be an interesting setting. Everyone’s birthday would determine their class. A sort of mystically enforced caste system.

 

[Mister-Kent]

I guess that works - it's certainly the only way I'd ever play Paladin

 

[Umbran]

I love the idea, but one of my tables would just be 5 Bards.

What's wrong with that? The Five Man Band is an established and valuable trope!

 

[Eltab]

If you are born on Leap Day, can you multiclass into anything you want the other three years?

 

[Henry]

I’d just roll a d12...?

also, would you play an artificer if you were born on Feb. 29th?
