Every single D&D class explained

- Dungeons & Dragons can be overwhelming to get into. There's all these complicated terms and rules and there are SO MANY CLASSES. So I'd thought I put out a simple explanation of what each class does.
This video is meant for beginners choosing their class, so people who have played Dungeons and Dragons might find this a bit oversimplified. Hopefully new D&D players find it useful, though.

Ah yes, a bard's insane powers... Imagine being a powerful ancient dragon and dying to "Your mom"
😂😂😭😭😭😭
"you can play whatever sounds fun to you"
I did exactly that when I chose cleric as my first class despite people telling me spellcasters are hard to manage for newbies
How dare newbies play the only classes that actually get choices
What kinda cleric
@@TheReZisTLust a bard cleric :v
I intentionally gave her mediocre wis and high charisma despite starting off as cleric because I planned on multi-classing early on because of her backstory.
She was a human, but due to circumstances, ended up being raised by an elf community, specifically by the community's priests, so she was a cleric of Corellon despite being hooman :v
The Bard thing is because I'd wanted her to sort of have a talent for performance and singing, and hey, from what I can remember, Corellon is a bit of a patron of that kind of stuff as well :v
@@xKazeshi98x once again I lament that clerics are wisdom casters with no questions asked, when they should have different casting stats based on their domain(e.g. the one you described would likely be a CH cleric)
@@xolotltolox7626 oh, well, I mean, roleplay-wise it wasn't that bad of a trade-off as I intended to pass her off as a "mediocre" cleric due to a growing focus and interest towards those other things :v
Besides, I took light domain (mostly cuz I didn't really look up that many sources for other possible domains for clerics of Corellon), so I was still able to deal a significant amount of damage with fireball against a band of orcs or smth 😊🖐🏻🔥🔥🔥
Oath Of Throwing It Back Paladin.
oh no
@@calem_son_of_nyxoh YEA!
as a legend once said:
"Cast firenball, just fireball, just cast fireball, FIREBALL! CAST FIREBALL!"
“I don’t care how big the room is, I cast fireball!”
Naw the demogorgan will come if you don’t cast fireball😂
Wow. To be such a minuscule content creator you have awesome quality, shocked that you’re not bigger then this. Good luck with your future endeavors and thank you for the much needed explanation!❤️
Absolutely! I’m about to do some heavy interaction on each of these vids to help him grow bc he deserves it for real! And he isn’t asking for it, which is rare these days lol
Honestly, I think the problem is that DnD is kinda niche these days, so there's fewer people looking for guides
@@aistikasmursu9432dnd is literally more popular than ever and only growing, what are you on about
Why you gotta hit my man with the “minuscule” 😭😭
It’s DnD content bro only a few of us turbovirgins are left
Tasha’s Couldron of Everything optional abilities for ranger makes ranger genuinely solid for the record btw
I hear one more content creator call Legolas a Ranger when the class was literally made because of Aragorn and I'm gonna have to cause some Sauron level damage to the world.
For real though, great video!
Thank you! Was looking for this comment. Aragorn tracking Pippin and Merry through the battlefield is the epitome of being a ranger. Legolas is the fighter with a bow.
Usually not the one to leave to many comments, but I think you more than deserve that. Incredibly well done video, I like the style, the pacing and the depth of detail. Just starting out with DnD and this video helped me and my wife to pick our first characters, thank you very much!
That’s so fun!!! What classes did y’all end up picking?
@@LimboGcX She ended up as a Druid (moon) and I started playing a paladin, we are level 5 by now and call me a bit of a power gamer but I am a Hexblade Warlock Paladin with ties to the raven queen, next session is tomorrow ;)
We already struck down a local ring of cultists who turn children into a a dnd version of meth and are now pursuing the big bosses, having been thwarted off our way into a prison and escaping more or less elegantly.
Thank you for getting me back to reminisce about this video ;)
Catch us up again!
My party’s paladin basically was a cult member but escaped, he’s like an AA person, trying to get away from darkness while still using its power. It’s really funny when you have a guy who swore an oath to evil but he’s tryna do good lol.
But wouldn’t that make him an oath breaker?
This video marks the first time that I’ve ever heard someone complement the favored enemy ability.
I’m now off to see if you have a matching video for races and sub races, because hands down this has been so helpful and well organised it makes a huge task begin to look manageable!
Thank you, and, keep going!
This is very well done. Clear, informative and comprehensible
man this guy sounds like he could make runescape plugins
That's exactly what I was thinking
I also love a lot of the other druid circles. I'm currently playing a circle of wildfire druid, it's from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It means I have a little pet made of fire and I'm really good at arson and healing people.
Ooo cool!! Im currently playing a circle of spores druid!! :D
I'm doing a circle of Stars druid in a campaign right now
“Im really good at arson…” 💀💀
I'm playing DnD for the first time tomorrow, thank you for this video, it's really helpful
Great clear informative video! deserve way more subs. Made me nearly spit my drink out when you went "Clerics: GOD."
It's actually crazy how small of a content creator he is
Also these vids have helped me a lot cause im new
My first ever D&D session is coming up and this is easily the most helpful video I've stumbled on. Thnak you!
If I may make a suggestion for the UA Ranger, I would personally go with the optional rules for them found in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. It’s simpler and better to work with the rest of the game than UA tends to be. However if you’re DM is experienced enough to handle untested stuff like that, then don’t let me stop you; you’r table not mine
Yup, tasha changes made ranger work without problems, don't neeed to use the ua
Yeah... I played a Ranger not only with the Tasha rules, but one of its subclasses the Swarmkeeper, and actually turned into a fairly decent Battlefield Control character, especially when I was able to pick up the Spike Growth spell. Now that turned my enemies into shredded cheese!
Disclaimer: don't be an eldrich knight if you want to throw fire, you are going to deal more damage just ttacking. On the other side, if you want to use spells that increase your defense or add mobility, go eldrich knight
Great video friend! Believe it or not, there are not that many videos on the internet that cover all of the PHB classes. Great job!
I would like to say that Paladins do not have to worship a god. Their strength comes from their conviction, not a diety or god. When one turns into an oathbreaker their power still exists, it just manifests in a way that doesnt follow their previous values and ideals.
I wish I had this video when I was making my first ever character. He explained things in a very light and fun way.
So, so glad I found your channel. Your channel is the only one I’ve found that breaks it down perfectly for beginners like me. You explain everything so well and make it so much while learning.
This information is fantastic. Accurate and helpful, with the right amount of detail. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
Small correction: You choose your Druidic Circle at 2nd level.
Other than that, fantastic video.
A Druid who’s permanently in wild shape as a small electric spider who only knows one op electric move and invisibility
Honestly this is the best video breaking down all the 5e classes for beginers ive encountered yet. Thank you, ill be sending this to the new guys from my campaign.
Just quickly TH-camd descriptions of DnD classes to help a friend who is getting into Baldur's Gate for the first time. This is a great video! It gives a good but brief description of the classes but is not just some boring info dump!
I recently played a knowledge cleric and concentrated a lot more on being the smart one in the party, and was secondarily a healer. One of the best things about clerics is how versatile they can be depending on what domain you choose.
This is great, thank you! I'm very nervous about trying new things but this doesn't seem so bad. I hope you make many more videos
I've never done this before but I just watched this video two days in a row because it is so entertaining and well done. Great job man keep going!
I already love your channel just from this video alone, keep up the good work
Everything about Rangers was literally based on Aragorn, not Legolas.
This is awesome! As someone who is starting dnd this helped boil down all the classes for me!
Bro I'm glad the algorithm showed me to your channel - instant sub! Looking forward to seeing the channel grow!
Would love to have a deeper dive into each of these
I subscribed to hear more in depth class and subclasses. Also races! Need to explain more of those 😋
I was a dm for the first time and this one dude was a wizard and would ONLY USE FIREBALL (it was their first time playing)
this deserves more likes man! this was a really funny and informative video, awesome!!
The whole vibe of this video is amazing
Best summarized explanation. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to start playing DnD for a while, but just had no idea what I was doing. One of my friends sent me a google doc to start making my character sheet, and now I’ve got an artillerist artificer based on the artificer from rain world, and a divine soul sorcerer based on Osvald from Octopath Traveler 2, and figuring out the basics it making a character and all of the cool stuff that adds together to make it really work is awesome.

Most of all if you want to quickly know how to play an effective ranger, choose the Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything variant features, pick the spell hunter’s mark, go gloomstalker, choose the archery fighting style, and pick either variant human, or custom lineage for the first level feat. Pick sharpshooter, use a longbow, and go to town doing schmassive damage. Max out dexterity, dump strength, put your next highest stat in con, and third highest in wisdom. This is by far the easiest way to be really effective as a ranger. Bonus points if you can pursuade your party to fight at night, because then you will be invisible to even creatures with darkvision, and gain advantage on just about everything.
Thank you so much for all the info, i love the way you explained it all
This is a great video dude very useful and charismatic!
so thankful for your videos! they are so helpful
Neat video. Like your style and script. Keep up the good work and I am sure the views and subs will come in.
As a new DM this was super helpful! Thank you
The Zelda music was so good 😂
That guardian music in the intro hit hard
Loved it. Thanks. I'll show this to the friends i wan to convince to play😊
You just got a new subscriber my guy. This was awesome
About to start my first campaign. I just skipped the research and made a wacky character (archer who cant shoot for shit so subclasses in alchamey and makes explosive arrows)
Can confirm about the druid,
I play a circle of spores gremlin, and i uh, havent gotten to experiment with wild shapes yet bc we were level one… but as soon as i get the chance im becoming a cat.
This video is really helpful. I think you forgot to mention cantrips when you were talking about wizards and spell slots.
I’m sick and tired of people assuming Ranger means Ranged weapons. It’s Ranger, like PARK Ranger. Not a guy who uses guns to fight, just a guy who’s job it is to walk around in the wilderness. They’re survivalists
Wait! Why there's nothing about the artificer?
i dont think artificer is in players handbook
@@carterulery In fact, you can find the artificer in the "Tasha's cauldron of everything".
Is another handbook but it's supplementary
just found this video, and it made me remember my character, multi-classed into rogue, warlock and druid
for extra info; he's a Kenku and Fire Genasi hybrid, and made a deal with his local god of war, power, for souls, yes, not his soul, but souls
however, he wants out of this deal, without losing his power, one of his main things is freedom, meanwhile he's caged by contract
do with that what you will
Came for the info, subbed for the quality
I thought that i was watching a very Big yt creator, the Quality is outstanding! Keep it up
As a bard my favourite spell was and always will be Tasha's hideous laughter. Harpies are above us and wanting to attack us? Hideous laughter, one falls and dies. Giant octopus-like creature wants to kill us? No problem only thing I wanted to know was its wisdom saving throw and it was laughing for the rest of our session. Hideous laughter also worked on players at the table
Now I know where John Flanagan got the idea from
I already love your content!!
Great video, I just sent it to the groupchat as a guide for my newbie players-to-be before oour 0th session :D
This is a dope video thank you man cant believe im only seeing this now
Honestly, don't let the whole "clerics can be boring to roleplay" thing hold you back! I wanted to play one and everyone was like "you're gonna be so bored, this is a long campaign" but I had a vision and I stuck with it, my cleric served a tri-goddess (Angharrad) who is the personification of three Elven goddesses plus herself. I had 4 different deities that I could pull "what would Jesus do" lines for and it gave me a ton of super interesting and indepth role play when faced with moral dilemmas. Cleric is easily one of my top favorites to play!
Legolas isn't a ranger if anything eragon's a ranger Aragon is the one that travels eragon is the one that knows his surroundings Aragon is the one that gets supplies from the wilderness if anything legolas is a fighter
these videos are very helpful, can you do abilities next? this is all very helpful information for my first campaign.
that piano at the start gave me painful memories and activated my fight or flight
Brand new to D&D. Coming from years with elder scrolls, I love that this is laid out like the character creator in Oblivion, and bonus, the Skyrim music is nice to hear!
Thank you for this video i recommended it to a friend that played bg3 so he could understand the classes a little bt better because they are very based on dnd.
Kind of underselling Monk's Monk Weapons, bonk with quarterstaff with two hands and then follow up with a punch after freeing a hand from the QS. Also being able to throw darts and follow up with a punch for a nice mix of ranged and close combat, creating a mobile, mid ranged, scouter. One of the highest damages in the early levels with decent consistency for any damage.
How am I just now finding out about this super secret DnD Idyl channel!
The quality is just fire. Hope you did get a good sleep)
Thanks I'm new and this helped a lot!
Any chance you could make an artificer vid? Ive already subbed but ill give you an inspiration point if you do 😅
This is so good! The skyrim soundtrack transports 👌👌
Great content, easily digestible
Honestly thank you for this great video! It really helped me! As someone who only just recently got into D&D with a group of amazing people
I've been having a ton of fun and frankly really getting into D&D
My first character is a Sorcerer with Draconic lineage and is in fact a half dragon with red dragon blood
However the character is chaotic good and so far it's been a ton of fun to play
Really excited to try out some creative and chaotic things
An entire bard group with every bard specifying in a few different spells is a joke idea we had for a lot of comedic fun
I love about D&D just how creative you can be
Goddamn you’re underrated rn, hope the algorithm picks you up soon cuz this is quality shit right here, great video
4:30 Fighters also get Action Surge(Aka, low use extra turn)
2:47 "....and kinda makes you an adorable bloodthirsty teddy-bear" love it
I like the ranger features added in Tasha's cauldron of everything
Pause, you do D&D stuff too??? You had me sold with your other channel, now I gotta binge watch here too 😂
Ranger is my favorite class. I always picked human variant and chose sharp shooter as my feet and archer fighting style. I did an insane amount of damage
Cool dishonored background for the warlock.
Namedrop Regina George describing bards? 12/10
my character who will be coming up in a new campaign is an Abyssal Tiefling Druid who is from the Circle of the Moon… I love her so much
During my first campaign I was playing with a couple of people who it was also their first time so we all had no idea what we where doing and watching this video made me realize how much I played wizard wrong and that my character probably wasn’t even really a wizard
sharing this video with my players‼️‼️‼️
I play a barbarian, my first kill was with the cast iron pan from my adventure pack. I went and picked it up from where it landed in the second session
Bro, great video. I'm looking to get into d&d and want to know what classes can do and can play
"i thought this was supposed to be a game, not school..."
yeah, at first time, i taught just like that. i needed two whole day, when i finally understood how the basics of the game works.
(i watched crap guide to dnd, and it was helped a lot)...
just came here to say i appreciate the skyrim music in the bg, 10/10 video
You had me at the zelda music 👀 I'm ready to learn 💪🏻
16:04 I actually chose a Variant Aasimar. I don’t know what that means.
The “Fighters are really good fighters” really shocked me.
I was going to have my character be a fighter. You have successfully given me analysis paralysis.
In Baldur’s Gate specifically you can take the tavern brawler feat and then Barbarians get to be long range, before I left act one I was throwing three things a turn if I was using rage and I did legitimately obscene damage from across the battlefield. Doesn’t work in Norma dnd tho apparently
