Warlock, what people forget is that you don't necessarily need to have a active patron. Some books refer to the Warlock just relying/learning their magic and abilities from various dangerous artifacts and tomes. You can own all the power instead of having it on loan, but due to the shortcuts and dangerous items used, you won't be on par with a Wizard or Sorcerer. Then find a way to become something equivalent of a Arch Lich. Immortality but no rotting body. Why would I want immortality? Because I'm indecisive and procrastinate, I need more time to waste on doubting.

Necromancer. Not for edgy reasons, but because then I can declare myself dead to avoid paying taxes ever again. Better yet, my phylactery is technically my legal representative, but since its an object it can never technically close out my estate.

[@Xokoy]

Wizard. Sure, it's more work than being a sorcerer, but at the end of the day, the ability to swap out your spells every day is well worth the extra effort needed in order to get to that point. Plus, the incremental rewards where you can see the power level of your top spells grow as you level up would be a pretty good motivator to keep me invested, especially since there is no drawback for taking downtime. After a while, I get the clone spell and can make copies of myself at a younger age and get back the body of a 20-year-old (via the 8th level necromancy spell clone); all I need to do is make sure that I don't die of old age or any method that would lock away my soul, which would be pretty easy with spells like planeshift at my disposal. Sure, I would need to invest in weird tuning forks that I would lose, but as deadly as the elemental planes of fire, water or earth are for people who are actively not taking anything to help them survive in those places, there's no rules that say that I need to take literally anything else with me. I'm sure that having a weirdo wizard teleport himself into the middle of a place that he cannot survive and die almost immediately in the nude would probably confuse whatever locals would stumble across my body, but hey, that's their problem at that point, I'll be climbing out of the container my new body was in and enjoying the perks of being young all over again.

[@VannMunson]

I'd have to say wizard, I don't know exactly what classes have access to what spells, but I do know that wizard has some of the best ones that I'd like. Simulacrum, Clone, Fabricate, Wish, Gate, Plane Shift, Glyph of Warding etc. Plus, there's a huge benefit that I really don't see others mentioning, access to summons. The Magic Circle, Glyph of Warding, Summon X-creature, and Planar Binding combo is ridiculous. You get minions who are bound to your will for the long term (if you upcast planar binding.) Material components can be a drag for this, but a competent wizard should be able to figure out a solution for that problem. At that point, you can summon martial creatures, or hell, more spellcasters. Now, the greater avenues of power within the D&D realms lay open to you. Do whatever you want at this point. Travel the realms, gather magical artifacts, achieve immortality, take over the world if that's your fancy. Personally, I'd like to solve the world's problems if it's within my power to do so, which at this point it really should be.

[@WorldWalker128]

Plus, you get to keep all your bard abilities and spells with the way true polymorph works. (The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can’t speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech, unless its new form is capable of such actions.) Not to mention the Song of Creation letting you make basically any nonmagical item you need (technology is not magical), and past level 14 there's no limit to the cost of the item so just instantly make yourself a new car every time you need to go anywhere for the low cost of a 2nd (or higher) level spell slot.

You can visit underwater places without submarine Or just fly into the cloud

[@FaisLittleWhiteRaven]

Thing to consider is if there are other people being granted classes as well. Like is this a whole world change or just you? Cause if it's just you, any class with healing suddenly gets a MASSIVE buff to how much 'soft' power you can influence others with and Clerics in particular with their access to Raise Dead so early may suddenly get a LOT of people in power willing to do a lot to keep you actively willing to rezz them which, while absolutely not as fun or as freeing as a druid's wildshape or a wizard's *everything* , probably has more potential for changing the world for the better than any amount of firepower or regular old Charisma ever will. -of course the downside is potential kidnapping but like that's where the combat magic comes in- (Also you can bring back people/pets you missed if they didn't die of old age so. That's. Scary tempting in its own right honestly. Oh and you can probably make a good amount of money just by being a cheaper alternative for hospitals to cure people with than idk stuff like chemo -if you're not going American doctor route- so like. Healing in the real world is OP really). ...That said, I think the main reason why I'm favoring Cleric the most is the idea of a deity that would actually be willing to pick me over anyone else. Like, I'm not particularly smart or focused or brave or anything noteworthy really and I'm not religiously inclined either so if they did pick me good odds it's because they want someone willing to discuss and chatter options and ideas with (friend! =DDD) or I share their ideals and can be trusted to bring those things about, and... I kind of like the idea of something/someone out there deciding that I of all people would be the one they trust for those~

It's a toss up for me. On the one hand, being an Artificer would be awesome, especially the subclass that let's you basically be Iron Man, or a Kamen Rider if you flavor it right. But in all honesty, Paladin fits my personality. That and I think the Navy would of had a much harder time giving me the boot for stupid reason if I could pull off what Paladins can.

Wizard, school of conjuration specifically. - As soon as at level 2 you get minor conjuration, so anything nonmagical that you have seen before is at your fingertips. In the game it depends on your DM but in real life it would be a completely broken ability. - By level 5 you can fly and cast fireball. - Lots of fun spells in the next levels too, but nothing reality breaking until... - Level 15: you are functionally immortal with Clone. And you can offer this immortality to others for a price, which will pay for your material components. - By level 17 you are a god with simulacrum / wish chains. And there's still three levels to go.

[@winnerwannabe9868]

Peasant, but i imagine being a sorcerer because people keep saying I'm smart but i have no idea what I'm doing ether. On what i want, it depends on the magic system. I'm incredibly lazy and so being a sorcerer would also be cool and unless I'm wild magic, it doesn't seem to have many drawbacks, so probably my first choice. Artificer would also be nice as i am interested in science and i imagine it would be very interesting and fun, but I'm dumb and it sounds like a lot of work, so second. If i could form a pact with a possessed or enchanted thing, that would be cool, but it may not be just "this thing gives me the ability to use magic! Cool!" And may have a pretty serious cost, so third depending. Druids can shape shift, I'd like to so that but there's not much else that would be very useful for me, so tied with warlock(depending on the conditions for warlock).

If I had to pick one from base rules, it would be a Bard. And not for the reasons most people do. I'm already decent at instruments, so I don't get a bonus there. And I also don't do anything in particular, so I wouldn't benefit from joat or such. No, the reason I'd go Bard is because... I want to know Vicious Mockery. So if I get into a situation where someone is threatening me or my loved ones, all I have to do is insult their mother and they *die*. And beyond that have all the healing capabilities of clerics and druids without the responsibilities involved. Subclass choice is College of Creation, because not only can I just... Make anything I want or need, but eventually to an unexpectedly vast degree. Did you know a 14th level Creation Bard can cast Heroes' Feast once per day for free by making the spell component with their Song of Creation?

I'd have potential to be a demigod. Though I'd use this power to help others when I can and protect as many people as possible. But I'd specific chose to make sure I get the wish spell. It's one of the only ways to make certain things possible that would make others happy

[@Metalchemist2]

Bard illusionist. Weave tales and have pictures to go along in 3D. Imagine the dnd sessions where you can actually walk around the set!

[@MaxGaming-gp6ij]

Wizard, without a doubt. We learn spells as we level up, and it ain't exactly easy to investigate magic based crimes if you're not expecting it. Just gotta get to level 17, get Wish, then wish to know every spell that any other class could possibly learn and not be overwhelmed by it. If you still have wish after that, wish for enough magical power to be able to freely cast all of them without ever needing to rest, but still being able to rest if you so desire. If you still have it after THAT, you just wish for perfect physical and mental strength in terms of what's possible for a human being. Boom. Every spell, infinite spell slots, and max stats. EZ. All it takes is casting Shatter on a support beam or the foundation of an apartment complex or an office building, and you've easily got enough exp for decent levels.

[@CatacombD]

And the second you finish formulating your "OP wish," the DM of the universe starts laughing maniacally, and uses DM fiat to twist your "carefully thought out wish" into some sort of living nightmare. For example: You wished to be able to cast every spell, so your wish turns your body to stone as your mind is trapped in an unending lecture explaining the fundamentals of every type of spell. This unending lecture continues until the heat death of the universe. If it weren't for the fact that your sanity is long gone at this point, there would be a brief zeptosecond where you theoretically could start trying to cast one of those spell, but the petrification has an aftereffect of stun for a full round, so every atom that composes your body is torn apart before you're ever able to cast anything.

[@MaxGaming-gp6ij]

​@@CatacombDokay, so youtube decided to bug the fuck out and delete my comments, but still. I'm certain I don't need to remind you of the 50 page wish. Hell, just add a clause to the wish that says "This only works as I intend, and cannot be taken in any literal sense other than what I intend for it." There are ways to make runon sentences without making it too obnoxious. Hell, just write your wish on a piece of paper and say, "I wish everything I have written on this piece of paper was true, and functions exactly as I intend regardless of the influence of other beings." Which does a number of things. It frees up your language capabilities, so you can't be cut off mid wish. Only you can write on this paper to change things, because you specify what you wrote, and for it to take effect as _you_ intend, so people can't take control of you to make you write things you don't want.

[@CatacombD]

@@MaxGaming-gp6ij And then the god of the universe (the dm) can just reject it, because they always have the final say on any wish outside of the strict examples set (ie, copying other lvl 8 spells, or getting a reroll in the previous round) If you try to make a 50 page wish that has no possible exploits, then the spell would probably just fizzle.

[@anonymouse2675]

Definitely a Multiclass. Bladesinger Wizard, all the power of an Archmage, not a wussy in a fight. A couple levels in Artificer, cause who wouldn't want to make their own magic items, also Cure Wounds and Spare the Dying.

[@sabliath9148]

Things I might want to be: Drakewarden Ranger: Not only to I get access to a variety of skills, but I also get a dragon companion, and who could say no to that? Plus, at higher levels I get to be a dragon rider, to that's another benefit. Divination Wizard: access to a wide variety of spells, and to power to bend fate, give myself and those around me a sudden boost of luck? a great option. Plus, with the right research, I could permanently become whatever sort of powerful magical creature I desire, while still maintaining my wizard powers. Moon Druid: Not only do I get access to the power of nature in all its aspects, but I can become any animal I have observed. It would be interesting to experiment to see what the limits of that would actually equate to.

[@danielhale1]

Wizard: the freedom from needing a patron or the approval of a deity or nature, or needing a very specific bloodline, mixed with the ability to grow through study, experience, and experimentation. With a bit of a jumping off point, wizards are able to be independently successful, or to work well on a team. There's lots of magic that's just generally useful in everyday life, and when you meet another wizard you can hang out and copy spells to each others' mutual benefit. Sure there's the born-into-luck sorcerer, and that's perfect if you can simply choose anything (seriously, good option). Otherwise, Wizard is a skillset you can earn and build up yourself, by your own volition, and not need to be eternally beholden to others who could abuse or discard you.

[@kaimagnus5760]

Sorcerer. With Warlock multi class if allowed. Natural Tallent + an Eldritch Abomination to fall back on? Look at me, I'm the BBEG now.

[@dylanmalone14]

Paladin, Oath of vengeance We’re taking back the holy land, boys

[@deusvult980]

didnt know it was gonna be this kind of comment section

[@morosdreemurr7896]

it's crusading time.

[@soldierx345]

Bard. I already beatbox, so why not?

[@Xarestrill]

I think I'd probably go 3.5 artificer. I'd get to tinker and build cool stuff that everyone would find useful. It'd be a pretty good way to make money, and unlike so many others running around getting killed in dungeons or wherever, I could stay at home in comfort. Also, having access to pretty much all spell lists for enchanting would give me huge versatility. Need a specific spell or effect? No problem, pull it from whatever spell list and make it into a wand, staff, or scroll. I can make little minions to help me out, guard me, or be a friend. Best of all it'd let me make stuff to help keep those I care about alive.

[@AJVulpes]

I would choose any heavy crafty crafting class. Wizard/artificer would be my go to, though more likely artificer because I like working with my hands more than reading a book. I also love the idea behind "any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic" trope that artificer can bring to the table.

[@enderskunk7644]

For me it is not teleport would rush to, but plane shift (personal reasons...)

[@calicodavis1511]

Definitely Bard for me. I already love to tell stories and talk with just about everyone. Just feels like a natural fit. Altho that one guy does make an excellent case for Monk.

[@GrantBlackwell-j9r]

Probably either a Fighter, Paladin, Artificer, Wizard or a Forge Cleric. Fighters are extremely versatile with various subclasses. Paladins are natural leaders and great heroes. Artificers are mechanical geniuses and sure, Wizards are glass cannons, but really, they're more "cannon" than "glass." But, why a Forge Cleric specifically? Well, let's say I end up in Borovia, you've got healing magic, fire magic, fire resistance, Destroy Undead and more. In addition, you're basically a blacksmith. You can forge, improve and equip any weapons, armor and tools you need, and with the Creation spell, you can make all the materials you need, literally, out of thin air.

[@camillecutler6868]

Druid. All the healing of the cleric, with shapeshifting, and talking with animals sounds pretty useful to me.

[@rebekahoberson1447]

Artificer. Not because they’re the strongest, not because they’re the smartest, but because I think it would be really fun to use a (probably old) type of gun in battle. And there would still be a good challenge with reloading and stuff.

[@Nope-tq3nu]

I find the idea of a security person at a high school being the ranger class very funny. I mean, their favored enemy could be students/teenagers and natural explorer terrain as the school grounds. With the Hunter Archetype, if only going off the players hand book. And with spells like hunters mark, ensnaring strike, locate creature, etc. No kids trying to skip class would escape. And don't forget about the features they get.

[@DragoSonicMile]

Cleric. Somebody's got to heal/support the rest of the team.

[@lamiahunter]

The warlock guy was not thinking longterm. Dying to those monsters while under the guidelines of your god gives you an afterlife, your pact is gunna eat your soul

[@KarakTo]

Pact of the Genie, my patron serves ME.

[@enderskunk7644]

Druid. Healing? Hell, yeah! Shapeshifting? Nice!

[@welcometochaos4]

absolute decimation of "obstacles" on the battlefield? Say more!

[@Skeleton52925]

3:48 very interesting way of saying simulacrum

[@veronwright1291]

Monk/ranger multiclass. I wish to go the 4 elements route to live out my fantasy of controlling the elements like an Avatar and drakewarden for a draconic pet or monster slayer to shutdown targets

[@ZesTofthelemon]

Really I could go for Bard, Warlock, Druid OR Sorcerer. - Bard: Jack of All Trades is something I sorely need in my life. I am shit at (almost) everything and it is not fun when I am shit at something. ;v; - Warlock: I thought of the idea of just straight up being on good, friendly terms with my patron and I attached got to it. Would be great to have someone able to put up with my dumbassery through thick and thin, ESPECIALLY if it's a fey or a Great Old One since I love the concept of the Feywild and also eldritch shenanigans with beings that are literally too complex and unorthodox for most people to comprehend. - Druid: I can live in the forest and create my own little garden of Eden without the outside world interfering. - Sorcerer: Magic, for free. It is as shrimple as that. Also Wild Magic is very funny.

[@JeffreyJusticeLosey]

Tough one. My all-time favorite build was an Eladrin Mariner Scout Fighter/Immortal Mystic/Astral Soul Monk. Primarily wrecked with an eldritch claw tattoo when forced to fracas but refused to kill. No armor, only ever carried a rope and 10-foot pole.

[@KarakTo]

Soulknife Rogue Superior skill Never unarmed Weapons that leave no wound Short range teleportation Invisibility Telepathy The supreme infiltrator, skill user, supreme scout, supreme assassin Let me be a variant human with the Telekinetic feat to drive home that theme and get the Arcane Tricksters Mage Hand

[@theawkwardpotato1973]

Druid... for the fact that the second druid one makes really good points: - Curing disease and healing: even level 1 cure wounds is more often than not, enough to bring 99% of people back to full health no problem. If you wanna deal with the supernatural, a cleric's probably a better option overall, but druid is certainly still not a bad choice. No matter what circle you belong to. - Shapeshifting pretty much covers all superpowers pretty easily. And magic pretty well covers the rest. I uh. Wouldn't trust polymorph though. I could be flying along as a bird, it'd wear off and I'd just pop out in the sky, now falling to my death. That doesn't sound fun. No thanks. With maybe a level in wizard just for the cantrips and always having a lil' buddy around! That may or may not be a non-literal chaos gremlin (familiar). 10 gold is expensive for most people, but as long as my familiar doesn't get into a fight and die, it's fiiine. The DM is moreso using a wound system than hit points anyway. And a tiny pact with some lesser probably hopefully very benign if not even benevolent fey - probably... idk, a dryad or fairy or unicorn or something - entity because theme ONLY for minor powers (especially devil's sight and talking with animals ANY TIME I WANT). I love animals and I'd love to talk to them and learn all about them. I'd probably be a pretty subpar druid just because I don't like bugs, but then again, maybe speaking to spiders and ants and other creepy-crawlies and understanding them more would make me a lot more accepting and a lot less afraid of them. Moths and butterflies and things like that, I don't mind so much already. And I like the little lizards that crawl around my house from time to time and help clear out the bugs. I could learn to be chill with them pretty easily, I feel like. Being a druid doesn't mean not harming ANY animals, just protecting the ones that matter to you and making sure things go smoothly in nature. And living like 10x my expected lifespan if I get good enough at it sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Though being a high enough level draconic sorcerer AND GETTING FREAKIN' DRAGON WINGS sounds pretty great too.

[@thetwojohns6236]

John 1: Ranger. If you know, you know. John 2: Wizard. Also, if you know, you know.

[@JacobHeaton-tx4gd]

I think that genie warlock of the djinni variety is one of the best options since you get limited wish which gives you every spell of 6th level or lower you also get regular wish which is great. it was a toss up between dao and djinni because dao has better self defense spells and djinni has better escape ones. but djinni has greater invisibility which is real good. plus djinni are good creatures which is nice. now the main attraction here is the home you get to go around with for free which is amazing. another fun thing is you can fly which you know is always good. and of course you can store spells in glyph's of warding for a rainy day.

[@DonovanTheDread]

Paladin. Charismatic enough to lead at work or in friend group plus just because your there everyone else around you gets better. Bonus to lay on hands to heal any injury you could possibly get in life along with the immunity to disease and illness

[@MairtheEverknowing]

Ranger, being able to not get lost, master with a bow, know spacific and interesting facts on creatures, and not being exhausted. Sign me up i can just go live off the land with my cats and be at bliss

[@kennethdennis8907]

[@flameblade3]

I would absolutely want to be a monk. Honed mind and body, bursts of strength, immunity to illness, the absolute best all around for practicality while not messing with the realm of magic

[@Dragon359]

Bard. Over 9000% Bard. Wixard is a close second. All that intelligence would help with homework. Also, magic in general.
