Turning into animals would be rad

5e? Druid. You get a mix of offensive and defense spells, spells that shape nature, and wildshaping gives you the hitpoints of multiple creatures stacked on top of your own.

Bard would be an easy pick. High charisma, high intelligence, ability to influence others, a natural born leader, and generally not front and center in combat.

Druid would probably be the next best option for natural flight once you get your wild shape trained up.

Sorcerer.

Some of the sorcerer subclasses get unlimited flight at higher levels.

Hot female class

Monk
My lack of armor instills fear in most races. No one wants to fight a nude man. The swing of my dick as I move hypnotizes most monster types. And I hit stuff real good

I mean, if we pretending that we're actually living in the d&d world instead of just playing a character, then a sorcerer would get unlimited flight far towards the end of his lifespan, assuming he doesn't use magic to unnaturally extend it. A druid is going to get flight as a teenager.

Edit: but I suppose the TC didn't clarify as to whether you were landing in this world as a level 1 of that class or level 20.

Rogue. Thieves cant to basically enter any guild safely, plenty of nobles to rob. Hell Id just be Garrett essentially.

True for unlimited flight. Sorcerers get the spell at 5th level though, wildshape doesn't let you have a fly speed until 8th. I don't think people tend to reach 8th level as a teenager.

Genie Warlock

Natural access to flight, your vessel can be used as a personal inn room and Bag of Holding, and you get to grant wishes for yourself or others

Ah true. For some reason I thought it was 5th level. Either way, it's kind of funny how much better Sorcerer would be versus Wizard if we're talking living as the class since you just get to innately learn what you most want to learn rather than having to hunt down spellbooks from all around the world (and possibly secret/guarded for the good stuff).

That's the main reason why I went with sorcerer over wizard.

Honestly I would take the least dangerous class

Monk, I wanna punch fools

Rogue. Stealth all day erre day. Hoard riches, get bitches.

That isn't how it works. Bards want the character to have high CHA (INT is a dump stat for bards, so it doesn't apply), but that doesn't mean that they have them. You can have a low CHA bard just fine, and if anything this just means that if you were chucked into another world you wouldn't just isekai into being OP: you'd have your innate stats but with the bonuses granted from the class (which are not statistical in nature. The others are also entirely up to you and not the class: *anyone* can influence others, *anyone* can be a born leader. It's up to the person doing the RP. Also, Bards can very much be in the center of combat. It depends on specialization.

And either Wizard or Druid. It depends on how moving into the world would be with respect to metagaming potentials. Wizard would have the potential to be better, but it depends on the magical literacy of where one appeared as to how much shenanigans one could get up to.

D&D monks are more based on eastern monks as shown in kung fu movies

Monk here too.

I've only played Neverwinter so ranger I guess

Haven't played since 3.5 edition.

But... Ranger probably.

Paladin. They're immune to disease and can heal people (including themselves). Also they kick ass with armor, a shield, and a sword/mace/etc.

No downside to being a paladin except that you're expected to be a decent person.

Uh a healer. The practicality is through the roof. You dont have to fight. Just be you and you can heal yourself.

Damn,

In that case, Divine Soul Sorcerer.

Depends on the god you serve.

Healer isn't a class. You could choose from cleric, paladin or bard which all can function as healers (Rangers also to a much lesser extent.)

Or Artificer, if you want to literally be able to hit someone with a hammer and have it heal them instead of hurt them.

And sorcerers can take the divine soul subclass if they want to pick up cleric spells.

a dedicated healer is generally not necessary in 5e

its always nice to have people with healing capabilities though.

Pathfinder 2e, on the other hand, you definitely want a healer in the party. Combat in that game can get very lethal very fast.

well yeah. but all the classes that can heal also have things they can do that are significantly better than healing. clerics are arguably the best blasters in the game

This topic is reminding me that you rarely see the likes of Illusionists and whatnot in a protagonist capacity. It's almost always the standard Fighter/Sorcerer/Wizard/Rogue/Thief with the occasional Cleric, Bard, Monk, or Ranger side character.

I guess the recent movie changed things up a little with a Bard MC and Barbarian partner.

Then there's that one manga with an evil cleric duergar.

On topic, I suppose any support or summon class would work for me. Druid, Psion, Warlock, Wizard, etc. I don't mind being a healer either, but not one that's locked to an alignment.

True but it tends to make things infinitely easier.
