Examples of the Various Classes in Media #


If you find yourself struggling to type certain characters or classes into the narrow space of classes within a TTRPG then perhaps this note can be of assistance in helping you choose a class for a character, or developing a character around a class. Herein a list of generic classes will be given, and following those will be examples and a brief description on what makes said character fit said class. Do bear in mind that these are approximations of course, and not factual claims, as such you may disagree with the exact category, but the reasoning should still indicate traits or other features of the character that would be associated with a certain class.
