Which archetype RPG class would you be in real life?

[PrinceOfShapeir]

A True Good Paladin. While I would definitely be holy, I would not be the type of paladin who says "Because my Book or the law says X, these people must be punished!" It all depends on the circumstances, such as if it's a poor man who is starving and he steals a loaf a bread, I let him off with a warning or I just let him off period.

Yeah, that's what any Good Paladin would do. Ah, the failure of many people to understand the classic Lawful Good Paladin.

Actually, from my understanding, a Lawful Good character has to fallow the law established by the land or the religion and cannot deviate from it, no matter what (Although, I could truly be wrong). For example, if, say, the beggar stole a loaf and the punishment for that would be to have his hand cut off, the Paladin might not necessarily do it himself, but he would take him to the proper authorities to do so...

True Good characters fallow what they believe is good (From what I know). Therefor, A True Good Character, realizing the Beggar is probably dying of starvation and that his thievery is a sign of how desperate he is, would simply let him off because it's one loaf of bread.

 

[Leemaster777]

A spellcaster. Most likely a Cleric.

Not the most exciting of job choices, but on the plus side, I'll always be in high demand in questing parties. Plus, I'm far less likely to get a colon cleaning from a sword than, say, a warrior.

 

[Mauso88]

I hate classrooms and dislike authority and others telling me how to use my talents, so definitely a mage.
I'm also 6' 1'' and built like a railing, not to mention arrogant and strong-headed.

 

[lordlillen]

some sort of defender probably a palladin seing as i am religous and i dont really like to fight but if i have to i would defend the weakest in the group.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I couldn't possibly be a warrior so I'd probably be a mage. Although I hate studying so I'd probably be more like a Sorcerer from D'n'D. I learn my magic by playing with it and blowing shit up.

 

[Mad Sun]

The class I'd like to be? A rogue, preferably an acrobat.

The class I'm best suited for? Bard. Definitely bard.

 

[tobi the good boy]

Did a DnD what should you play thing once (It was very thorough) and it told me I'd be a Sorcerer, I can't complain although I weep for the distinct lack of monocle my class brings

 

[gritch]

I'd definitely be a mage. Probably some sort of alchemist. I'm already studying to be a Chemist so I think it'd be a good fit. Plus I'd get to hang back and support my teammates instead of being on the front lines. Sounds good to me.

 

[HellsingerAngel]

Which class would you want to be?
Which class would you be best suited for?

Out of the three choices you've given? Rogue. I wouldn't be very sneaky but I'm agile and have excellent finess with a blade. I'd swash the buckle of any fiend who dared to cross my path!

By D&D standards? Probably a ranger. I'm an excellent outdoors man with good orientation and survival skills. While I'm not exactly sneaky, I can utilize a natural environment to hide much better than an urban one. I'm not the best tracker either, but that's what level-ups are for. While not a great runner, I can walk for miles without tiring and can sprint a mean distance if I have to, so jogging would be the only thing to work on. Lastly, I'm a decent shot with a bow and those fencing tactics with my blades make me a decent dual-wielder.

By video game (I.E. Final Fantasy) standards? Red Mage. I have the type of personality where I don't learn one thing super well, but rather I tend to be a jack-of-all-trades. I wouldn't be dedicated enough to learn high level spells or stick to one school of magic, but I could certainly learn a couple tricks to help me out of a pinch. My fencing skills again come into play as Red Mages usually prefer lighter blades and finess based combat with a buckler shield or magic bracers. In the end, though, it's all about that gorgeous cape and that snazzy fedora combo that'll just keep the ladies coming back for more.

A paladin from 3rd Ed D&D is Lawful Good, not Lawful Stupid.

Lawful means you believe that the world works by some sort of natural order and that people should follow this. Telling the truth, obeying laws that are fair and just and a need for structure and goals are all traits a Lawful character may possess. Lawful characters also realize that the needs of the many out-weigh the few and will often be martyrs by sacrificing their own personal comfort for the well being of the party or affiliation their apart of.

Good means you believe in what is proper. Altruism, a strong respect for life and well being and respecting the dignity of others are all traits of a good character. Good characters will often make personal sacrifices to help others -- within reason.

So a Lawful Good paladin who meets a thief on the street of a town where the law dictates that his hand be cut-off would come to a moral dilemma of sorts. Does he obey the law and turn the man in only to be wrongly done by his government, does he let the man go to keep his dignity and well being but further the acceptance of hurting others to gain what you need, or does the paladin find a middle ground? In this case, I would say the paladin would probably be smart enough to catch the thief, sit him down for a good talking about what he's done and why it's wrong no matter what situation he's in, go back to the merchant and get the thief to apologize, ensure the thief will offer compensation for his misdeeds either by working for the merchant or community service and then pay for a good meal for the thief and point him in the direction of the nearest church to help get him fed, clothed and back on the path to being a proper citizen.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Using 3.5 ed rules, I'm best suited for a sorcerer or a paladin. I chose sorcerer, because I like having magic powers at my fingertips. And I'm not a huge fan of wizards, under that ruleset.

 

[Malyc]

The only aplicable class for me would be ranger. Hard to say which fighting style id choose, but longbow/greatsword combo would be a possible, or twin shortswords and the longbow... longbow either way tho, plus I get a loyal companion!

 

[Bravo 21]

Either battlemage or a paladin, because I can hold my own in up close and personal stuff, but i still want to be able to use magic. I'm pretty sure that I could manage the intellectual stuff, and I'm certain that I could manage the physical aspects.

 

[Deadyawn]

I wouldn't really fit into any of the basic archetypes all that well. I'm currently very unfit which rules out rogue and warrior and I'm lazy which doesn't go to well with the whole "dedicate life to learning magic" thing.
If anything I would probably be a Sorcerer which is like a wizard except you use magic on natural talent rather than learning. So that works for me.

 

[C F]

While I'm 6'2", lean, and can swing a sword, I'm a bit too lacking in the endurance department to be a straight-up Warrior or Paladin. So I'd be more dexterity oriented in my discipline, but I have absolutely no stealth skills with which to take up the scum role of a Rouge. I guess that leaves being a Ranger. Yeah, I'm suited to doing the whole sword-wielding wanderer bit.

Although I'd really like to be a wizard. Oh, yes. I could live with bending magic abilities to my will. I like to think I have the knowledge, wisdom, and willpower necessary to understand and manipulate such things. So long as I don't bump into any Lovecraftian horrors, how hard can it be?

CAPTCHA: easy as cake

Huh.
Well, there we go.

[LiberalSquirrel]

Personality-wise? Probably a mage. I'm bookish, intelligent, and occasionally sarcastic (which all the cool mages are).

I'd also want to be a mage. Preferably a battlemage/magic knight/spellsword/paladin/Red Mage/whatever you'd like to call someone who uses magic but also has melee capabilities. Because a) That's what I almost always play in RPGs and b) I've already got some bo-staff skills, and the aforementioned mage-esque personality, so I might as well put 'em to use.

Looks-wise, alas, I am the warrior. Between my curvy figure (or, as one friend calls it, my "anime boobs") and my 5'9" height, I become the chainmain-bikini-clad warrior princess. Maybe, with luck, I can graduate to the leather-armor-bikini-clad rogue, because I know a bit of archery.

 

[TakeyB0y2]

Fragile speedster mixed with buffer/debuffer. I might not be very strong, but I can move! Also I love buffing/debuffing roles. I think that'd be an awesome hybrid meant for me.

 

[mateushac]

I'd probably bet on me being a 2h warrior... Not really good with the books, nor with bargain or stealth

 

[Samantha Burt]

I'd definitely be a rogue, purely because I'm a superlative coward. I would be sneaking everywhere and being a master thief. xD

 

[lord Claincy Ffnord]

Warrior: not a chance, mage hmmmm tempting I reckon I could do it but when it comes to it it HAS to be rogue. I am purely by chance a very sneaky person, which is hilarious when i repeatedly sneak up on someone when I wasn't trying to Also, being in the shadows just ... suits me better.
