Classes

Your class is what your hero does best: fighting, sneaking, healing or casting spells. Each one below shows its hit die, what it’s trained in, what it gains at every level, and one sample subclass. Your Player’s Handbook has the other subclasses.

About this text

Full entries come from the free official rules: the 2024 rules (SRD 5.2.1) match your 2024 Player’s Handbook, and the 2014 rules (SRD 5.1) match your Starter Set and Dungeon Master’s Guide. Entries marked “Your library” list only names and basic facts from your own books, with the page to open.

Read the same 2024 rules free on D&D Beyond: Basic Rules — Character Classes.
