A Guide to Classes in D&D 5th Edition
Classes in Dungeons & Dragons define what your character can do and what they’ll be capable of in the future, as they adventure and gain experience. They can also shape the way a character interacts with the world and the role they play in an adventuring party—both during combat and while exploring or navigating social situations.
Every class comes with a set of unique class features that your character can use—and the higher level they are, the more class features they’ll gain. Each class also has a number of subclasses, which are essentially specializations within a class. Most characters can choose their subclass between levels 1 to 3.
