I'm playing upper-middle-class thanks to my backstory, but the job scarcity due to covid might force me to multi-class into lower-middle or working class
my favorite class is the wizard, but most caster classes is for me. :D Atm playing Wizard Necromancer Mark of Healing Halfling so it gets healing spells added to class spells from the race. and a Celestial Warlock in another campaign. though i would not advise to play warlock to new players. also remember that subclass that most classes get at lvl 3 can change a lot of the how the class can be played.
Great intro video! And another reason to tell new players to not fear their characters dying.. it is just another opportunity to try a different class! 😎
Gather friends, all play clerics and call yourself The A-men. Nobody will take you. Or play as paladins with their ridiculous high damage. I still remember Arkhan the Cruel with his 323 damage dealt in one round.
When going through a list, please don’t just put the text on the screen and then say “this class...”. Say what you are talking about for those who can only listen to it.
It’s so hard to get the right class for you! I advise you to try as many different classes as you can as your lean the game and did your place in the D&D World
I’m happy to be corrected on this, but my limited understanding of the difference is that a Cleric is priest of divine magic first and foremost (the divine version of a wizard) who is trained to fight in the defence of their faith (and can, somewhat confusingly, use heavy armour, which doesn’t affect their magic casting the way it does with arcane wizards). They often have a range of alignments so their morality is more fluid. The Paladin is a fighter first and a healer second. Unlike the cleric, they spend their days practicing combat instead of officiating religious ritual or tending to the religious needs of the followers of their god the way a cleric would. Their alignment is Lawful Good and their morality is fixed in the need for law and order and good deeds, which potentially could lead to conflicted values or, alternately a degree of zealotry.
@@balthazarquinn Only one thing to correct, I think Paladin is not locked into lawful good and can be of other lawful alignments, depending on chosen deity.
@@paralysekid Are you referring to the Oathbreaker Paladin? Or is such a thing as a Lawful Neutral paladin possible? Can you give examples? I think it would be very challenging to play. (Although, so would a regular LG Paladin…)
I think barbarian is a better choice for first time players than fighter, especially champion. It has just enough to have power and flavor, but it doesn't underwhelm the player.
Yeah, absolutely. You could play a fighter as a ranged combatant if you wished. An archer. Especially if you like the idea of a ranger, but nature magic and animals weren’t necessarily your thing, then a bow-using Fighter might be perfect for you.
So could I just make my elden ring character in this basically a knight who is also proficient in spell casting so still have good armor and good and hand to hand combat with some knowledge of spells
There's a subclass for the Fighter called Eldritch Knight. It would be your best bet as a new player for the build you want to do. Straight spellcasters have disadvantage and can't cast spells while wearing armor.
I think there are too many classes in D&D 5e. Warlocks & sorcerers are really another variety of wizards. Druids are like clerics that worship nature. Monks, rangers, barbarians & paladins are all fighter variants. It would be simpler & easier just to have fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue & make the others subclasses or specializations. No need to make things more complicated than they need be.
Vampirism is a condition rather than a class, so theoretically any class could become a vampire. (Although vampires may be evil in D&D, which could make a few classes that *require* adherence to a specific alignment difficult to play.) Caveat: It’s been a while since I played, so I my advice could be outdated!
Props to you folks for trying to explain the classes to new players, but ultimately I'm disappointed in the results. A lot of misleading or missing information here.
Let's see, outside of combat they can rule over every social encounter with expertise in charisma abilities and high charisma, and they can help others being even better with inspiration. In combat they can heal, they can buff, they can debuff, make allies better with inspiration and, if they choose so, even have some big damage dealing with magical secrets. Out of fights you're the specialist, but in them you're still a jack of all trades, which allows you to fill almost any position required by the party.

These videos are great. Totally going to use to introduce new friends to D&D.
if the video was uploaded 1 day ago, then how do you have a comment on it 2 weeks ago?
@@carmajinn odd I was able to see this two weeks ago. It must have gotten uploaded and then had it release rescheduled.
Who would have thought that back in the day Clerics would have turned out being one of the better classes.
my favorite class is the wizard, but most caster classes is for me. :D
Atm playing Wizard Necromancer Mark of Healing Halfling so it gets healing spells added to class spells from the race.
and a Celestial Warlock in another campaign.

Artificer: "Am I a joke to you?"
yes, yes you are
I like cleric. Played it for my first ever class. Like how you can give them an antimaterial rifle at level 1
Gather friends, all play clerics and call yourself The A-men. Nobody will take you. Or play as paladins with their ridiculous high damage. I still remember Arkhan the Cruel with his 323 damage dealt in one round.
🤣🤣🤣 That sounds pretty awesome lol
The C-men is also an acceptable name

People need to be more aware of the deaf community
@@jamilburn5957Heard that
@@jamilburn5957read the comment again. PatrickOTreat is saying their the opposite of deaf.
I don’t see this as much of an issue, she literally names the class while describing it 😐
She pretty much names each class and the few she didn’t it’s very easy to discern which class she’s talking about.
I love her enthusiasm.
It’s so hard to get the right class for you! I advise you to try as many different classes as you can as your lean the game and did your place in the D&D World
Omg I love your sword earrings, where did you get them?
Please post more D&D videos with Maddie Cullen!!!
A great guide for a D&D newbie like me.
These videos are very helpful, I wish there was a live chat to help newbies like me hahaha
whats the difference between a paladin and a cleric ? arent they *somewhat* the same? magic from gods?
I’m happy to be corrected on this, but my limited understanding of the difference is that a Cleric is priest of divine magic first and foremost (the divine version of a wizard) who is trained to fight in the defence of their faith (and can, somewhat confusingly, use heavy armour, which doesn’t affect their magic casting the way it does with arcane wizards).

@@balthazarquinn oh my god that was helpful! thanks a lot!

@paralysekid Yes, that use to be true, but that is no longer the case in 5e
I love these vids. So well done.
If you’re playing dnd to “have fun,” play a bard. If you play dnd to win, pick wizard or fighter.
Hi, do you have a beginner tutorial for D&D?
artificer moment
but seriously, great video!
I think barbarian is a better choice for first time players than fighter, especially champion. It has just enough to have power and flavor, but it doesn't underwhelm the player.
I demand more Maddie Cullen!!!
Is being a Necromancing Cleric possible? Idk why but that seems really cool
I’m either gonna be in the sorcerer class of the warlock one
lol im new to D&D but being a dragon quest fan makes it a whole lot easier.
Really handy video!
Especially the wizard!
That was wonderful!!!
Just to clarify the fighter has access to a bow right?
The fighter has access to ALL weapons.
Yeah, absolutely. You could play a fighter as a ranged combatant if you wished. An archer. Especially if you like the idea of a ranger, but nature magic and animals weren’t necessarily your thing, then a bow-using Fighter might be perfect for you.

I chose fighter rouge and monk I would also choose druid so I can turn into a monkey for idk sun wukong but I don't feel like adding it
You should play Rogue in a movie.
I have to say rogue i love stealth and thievery and magic
How do you multi-class?
I think there are too many classes in D&D 5e. Warlocks & sorcerers are really another variety of wizards. Druids are like clerics that worship nature.

Saved the best for last, I see.
May i ask if theres a vampire class?
Vampirism is a condition rather than a class, so theoretically any class could become a vampire. (Although vampires may be evil in D&D, which could make a few classes that *require* adherence to a specific alignment difficult to play.)

@@balthazarquinn cool thanks
Magic User all the way
Where punching monastery man
Props to you folks for trying to explain the classes to new players, but ultimately I'm disappointed in the results. A lot of misleading or missing information here.
"You're like school on a Saturday, no class." XD
Clerics of various flavors, followed by Rogues.
Play any class and you're my friend, unless you play the billionaire class, then it's off with your PC's head
I pick……. YOU!!!!
Best class is Elf getting spells AND swords at low levels! Plus you get to pick your spell you know unlike the magic-user.
:P
I like bard 🍺🍻
So... Where's the artificer??? It is a official class now :/
In the core books it isn't. Only in the expansion books
She is so pretty I love women
“ which class do you want to become, what ever you choose...” you’ll have more fun and be much less useful as a bard.
bards are so ridiculously useful this edition
@@zippomage not if your playing a bard the right way

Watch the Critical Role series ‘Exandria Unlimited: Calamity’, then tell me Bards aren’t useful. 🥳🎻🗡🎉
The content is alright... but it's presented as though the audience are 9 year olds..
Some people need content for 9 year olds. Some people are running D&D clubs at their middle schools. Find a different video for you. There are plenty.
