Explaining Classes in Dungeons and Dragons

According to the Basic Rules Version 0.3, “Every adventurer is a member of a class. Class broadly describes a character’s vocation, what special talents they possess, and the tactics they are most likely to employ when exploring a dungeon, fighting monsters, or engaging in a tense negotiation.”

An Expert-Level Quiz to Find Your D&D Class

The test on this page explores your fighting style, strategies, and even your personality to determine which category matches you. So, the goal here is to answer what D&D class you are in. The questionary has three primary stages. (See below).

Creating your character’s appearance.
Choosing the weapons and spells.
Analyzing your playstyle and strategies.
Finding the best class for you.

The Test Is Based on the 5^th Edition D&D Player’s Handbook

Mike Mearls and Jeremy Crawford, the game’s lead designers, and other contributors, explained all the 5e rules in a practical 2014 handbook. Our team used the firsthand information to create an accurate and practical DnD quiz.

The book includes an explanation about multiclassing, too. However, our test is focused on discovering your hero’s primary category.

What Classes Are Included in the Dungeons & Dragons Quiz?

All of the 12 main DnD classes are included in the quiz. They are also grouped into specific roles to make the results more accurate. (Michele Carter suggests the said roles in their guidebook).

Barbarian	Defender
Fighter	Defender
Monk	Defender
Cleric	Leader
Druid	Leader
Paladin	Leader
Bard	Leader
Mystic	Controller
Sorcerer	Controller
Wizard	Controller
Warlock	Controller
Artificer	Striker
Ranger	Striker
Rogue	Striker

What Do the Roles Mean?

Unlike Races, roles are unofficial categories to group heroes based on their similarities. They do not affect your abilities, Hit/Die, Primary Ability, Saving Throw Proficiencies, or Armor and Weapon. However, knowing the category of your hero comes in handy when planning your strategies. More on this below.

#1: Defender: A character with high defense and hit points. These are the tough characters who protect weaker adventurers thanks to their strongness. Barbarian and Fighters are shining examples of this role.

#2: Striker: A character that damages one enemy at a range or with a melee. Such heroes need mobility to execute their attacks and use their unique skills.

#3: Controller: A hero who locks down monsters and enemies at a range. Wizards are an excellent example of controllers.

#4: Leader: A healer and supporter. Such a character would buff other players, helping them fight the enemies back.

Things That Affect Your D&D Class

People who ask, “What D&D class am I?” should start by understanding the affecting factors. What makes you the type of hero you are? Here are the key indicators of your category.

Race

According to the 5e instructions, ‘Your choice of race affects many different aspects of your character.” Combining the right hero and race offers a more robust and practical character. Things that determine the ethnic group in the game are Ability Score Increase, Age, Alignment, Size, Speed, Languages, and Subraces.

Note: Our test exposes what DnD race you might have as well as your class.

Fighting Style

The way you engage with the monsters affects your D&D class. Some roles are meant to be close-range fighters, while others are specialized in long-range or stealth attacks.

Appearance

Your character’s size, weight, and overall look reveals its class. Barbarians, for example, are bulky and strong, resisting high damage levels with no problem. That is while Rouges are usually smaller and faster.

Abilities and Skills

Being a spell master, sword specialist, healer, or stealth attacker can define your DnD class.

Why People Ask, “What D&D Class Am I?”

Knowing your hero’s category is crucial to play the game. According to the official 5e rules, identifying the class is the second step of creating your Dungeons and Dragons character. So, many beginner adventurers would not understand the gameplay properly without knowing what their role is.

Quiz By Mohsen “Nix”

Mohsen, better known as Nix, is a full-time gaming journalist and a part-time quiz addict. As one of the earliest crew members, Nix has been exploiting his pop culture knowledge for fun quizzes since 2020. He loves making trivia and personality quizzes for the latest TV shows, movies, and anime. But he specializes in video game quizzes. His brain, in his own words, sends out an extra shot of dopamine when he has to “quizify” a newly released game.

How to Play?

Playing personality quizzes is straightforward: Choose the option that’s true about you—or you relate to—and select “Next.” Unlike trivia quizzes, personality tests have no right or wrong answers. But the questions are in forced-choice format. The point is to push you to choose an option that makes the most sense, not the one that’s 100% true. For the most accurate results, don’t overthink your responses. Go with options that you “feel” are the best.
