First playthrough Class

[abdull3593]

Hi everyone. Can anyone suggest what class to play in the first playthrough?
I'm having some difficulty to decide since there are many good options to go thorough, since I'm not familiar with Dnd rules and games.

Can't go wrong with a fighter. Very straightforward. Or a barbarian or paladin if the fighter is too bland.

[Blood of Kerensky]

Pick any that you think sounds cool. At some point in the game, you'll be able to change your class at any time.

Fighter will always be my suggestion, for BG3 at least. It's very straightforward and only requires a little resource management.

Bard.

You don't know what you want to do. So pick the guy who's good at everything and figure out what you like. You'll reroll in an hour or two anyway.

i took a hunter with a pet, with a bow.
In this game range enemies are one of the most anoying units ever. They constantly move away and deal such insane damage to your units before you can even do anything.
Im loving my ranger.

But...
Mages are so f**king OP, i would recommend going mage.
But later in the camp you get a Warlock and a Mage to play with, so you dont really need to be worried.

Go Paladin , Divine smite is op . Great buff , Great damage , a lot of spell slots .

Paladin is the best protagonist char , high cha meaning great persuasion and intimidation .

6 Paladin , 6 sorc , the best Paladin build period . Low maintenance , newb friendly , You got yourself a demigod killing machine by the time you hit 12.

make a heavy hitter fighter and change one party member into a life cleric, atleast on easier difficulties you cant lose as long as you can heal and hit

I've been having a blast playing a Bard (College of Lore).
They're pretty good and fun allrounders in DnD, you can meele, range attack & do magic (offense and support) and you get to have some funny roleplaying moments. Plus you can play music for other people and earn a little gold at times, lol. :)

I suggest learning how the combat system works and how spells slots are used instead of mana.
Even if you play a fighter or ranger you are still going to have other characters in your party that most likely are going to use spells.
There are great tutorials on youtube.

what kind of playstyle do you enjoy? do you enjoy heavy armour and whacking things or sitting back and pew pew or sitting back and watching the explosions?
