Hey, in an attempt to foster more discussion and to try and get this community growing, I am writing a discussion post to get ideas out. (While these conversations have happened elsewhere, we haven’t had them on Lemmy yet!)

As such what is your favorite DnD class? If possible, share any reasons why, and cool stories that help highlight your point.

Also as an added bonus I personally would love to hear about your favorite homebrew class. So if you got one feel free to share as well.

Clerics for sure. Always where my mind starts to go if I haven't locked down a concept yet. Having the whole spell list to choose from and prepare at the start of the day feels so good, even at lower levels, and then you get all the goodies from the Subclass out of the gate too, never feels like you have a full level. And if you don't want to be tied to a god, following an ideal or concept like 5e suggests works for so many ways and still gives an easy investment or motivation for a charcter.

Mercer's updated Blood Hunter is the only homebrew class I've personally played, had a lot of fun with the choices available to the Mutant subclass. I've DM'd for a buddy playing a Justicar/Maledictor twice and he's enjoyed that take on a half caster/half martial a lot too.
