What class are you picking for your first run?

[Ny]

This is my first DnD game ever, including tabletop, and I have no clue what class I want. If this is your first time in a game like this, what class are you picking and why?

[Westie Sucks]

Paladin because I've played Paladin in every single game that has it's class, 5e and in EA for BG3. It's just the class I enjoy. Every single class is fun, I just like Paladin.

I would like to play a Dark Urge Monk, but since I'm playing multiplayer, I have to talk it through with the others first.

I'm curious to see how they improved monks.

Gnome barbarian

[Bastila Shan]

Sorcerer, drow, storm subclass. Because i want to hit hard it gives you twin spells so 2 for one spell point

[Recjawjind]

Draconic sorc.
Exploding foes is fun, and no one's better at it than good ol' sorc :)

[xebedy]

I think I may have to toss a coin between paladin and ranger... although I am leaning towards paladin given how I enjoyed it in EA... although ranger did whoop some ass!

[Bony]

Bard detective with high talking and investigation skills and some duelist abilities (rapier)
or
gnome arcane trickster with some barbarian mixed in to surprise my companions and foes with some anger issues if someone dares to get in my face.

[Echoside7]

Great Old One Warlock Githyanki. Let the Mindflayers get in touch with their real GOD.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

[MeatGolem]

I think maybe a bard because even though I would normally always pick wizard, I'll play that when I get to Gale.

[T3rrortrooper]

Dark Urge - Thiefling - Rogue 1 / Warlock 1 - not sure which one will be main class

I was seriously thinking about doing this too, since I can't seem to find any information about a PC's character size (gnomes would normally not be able to wield two-handed weapons). However I decided on Wood Elf Barbarian instead.

Probably going to flip a coin to decide between:
Brass Dragonborn School of Valor Bard
or
Drow Gloomstalker Ranger possibly mced with assassin.

[Katreyn]

Spore Druid for me (probably Wood Elf cause RP).

Back when BG3 was first announced there was a Reddit thread about what people would love to see class/race wise. And Spore Druid was my number 1. So glad it made it in.

[Damphair]

Half-Orc Barbarian for me, there's just something about being an unstoppable brute that I love.

I was kidding - that sounds like a terrible class/race combo =)
