If you were a class in an RPG, what class would you be?

I would be probably an archer/wizard or healer. That's because I prefer to stay away from the fight (because, you know, I'm 5 ft tall xD) and I'd like to see what is happening in wider view. And I'm that kind of person who want to help everybody so I would like to take care of the rest of the team "Hey, maybe you need something? No? Are you sure? Ok. Your spell is ready btw. so you can use it."
But from the other side, when I'm excited so much about something, I want to be everywhere like doing a lot of stuff, running in the enemys line (I'm pretty fast) and assasinate them or steal from them important things so I could be an assassin/thief too (You know, fast little person which you probably wouldn't spot).
For sure I wouldn't be tank-related class (warrior/fighter). 😆

I don't know. /s

Rogue That is NOT the same as a assa(sine)!!!
my prefered chars and/or playstyle at Pen&Paper RPG's that i play since nearly 30 years now ;o)

Informations, traps, hidden stuff, higher payments after a lot of talks with the quest givers (75% of it shared with the group, 25% not talked about because i have done the work...^^ -you get the direction^^-), loot at quests, from enemies and (maybe) from fallen group members.....
I collect all, yes each rusty sword too, and i sell all because at some point money or good equipment is for sure needed.

Rogue/Assassin- Like using stealth and tricks to kill bosses.

Malkavian. Wait, we're talking aDnD and similar fantasy? Probably battlemage of sorts.

mague

I think, class that suited me most was Agent (Sniper) in Anarchy Online. Generally I prefer ranged, be it Archer or Magician, depending on a particular game. If I choose Melee, that's most likely going to be Paladin.

I tend to use Barbarian too much in RPGs, and never seem to mix it up... but I still like to get in people's face and get all stabby, and then piss off before they can hit back, so maybe a Rogue. I need to try this class... any game on Steam I might have that would be good to try this class on?

I'd try to be an NPC Shopkeeper. That way I would make a killing buying loot from adventurers dirt cheap and then reselling it at an absurdly jacked up rate.
Shopkeepers at RPGs have the best scam going on! :D

Well, I consider intelligence to be my main stat so wizard, I guess. Or perhaps a rather melancholic bard.

I would be an NPC.

As I am a gamer I want to be an NPC inside of an inn, which plays minigames with chars.

Probably a dwarf cause I'm small and stout.

Drone rigger, with a side of vehicle rigging for convenience and an armored van for transport. What can I say ? I like Shadowrun, and providing a mobile command center and remote recon to your team is a lot of fun :)

Then again, Shadowrun doesn't have a strict class system, it's more or less sticking to suggested archetypes while you mix and match whatever you want. (except magic and cybernetics don't mix that well)

Paladin for me in most D+D/RPG games like Baldur's gate/PoE etc.
Rogue in World of Warcraft.
Wizard in Dragon Age.
Dwarf Warrior/tank in pen and paper D+D a long time ago.

Multiclass for me then I suppose.

In the simple Warrior/Thief/Mage/Priest type of RPG, a Mage for sure, with Arcane and Ice schools of magic. Not a fire mage, as heat and high luminosity are not my thing. It's pretty cool, it requires to read a lot, it's respected and feared, it can be lunatic, it strikes from distance.
With more traditional classes, something close to a Shaman would also be cool. Not one who uses human or animal spirits, more an elemental Shaman using strength of the Earth.
The class I love is sadly pretty rare in RPGs. A psychic mage, illusionist, mesmer, it has many names. Someone who manipulates the mind of the opponent, creates illusions. You don't even have to fight and destroy your environment when you break the spirit of your enemy in a simple gaze.

In any case, a class that uses magic.

Of the more common classes, i'm probably closest to a monk. For more obscure classes, maybe runecaster or artificer - archivist if you go for something really obscure

IRL, I'm paid for my knowledge, reasoning, and creativity

Bard , just watching the beauty of world and singing about it

Summoner, with an array of Lewd Pets

Yes, I'm serious.

half orc wizard with a stutter.

Probably some kind of cleric or cleric-mage hybrid.
