What class would Santa be?

[buffalo bill]

The obvious answer is wizard, with the magical flying reindeer and knowing who has been naughty or nice, but I think there's a case to be made for thief (because of all the breaking and entering), or cleric (because of being Saint Nick), or even fighter (because of carrying around a heavy sack of presents, and overall looking like a tank).

Anyway, merry Xmas everybody and hope you all have lots of good cheer!

 

[Butter]

Barbarian of course.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

cleric(Saint Nicholas), some combination of travel/water/trickery/good/animal domains

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

A fat ass Ranger.

 

[Pink Eye]

Why best class of course: MONK!

 

[lukaszek]

i second ranger of sort

 

[Kruyurk]

Why not use a classless system ? Does DnD need to also ruin Christmas ?

 

[Comte]

Street Samurai

 

[Reinhardt]

Paladin.

knowing who has been naughty or nice

 

[undecaf]

Druid/cleric.

 

[Nutria]

Definitely gotta go classless. Santa is a Darklands character. During character generation he picked priest and bishop career choices.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Paladin.

knowing who has been naughty or nice

know alignment is a cleric spell tho

clearly a cleric

 

[Maxie]

santa is middle class

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Reverse-rogue, obviously.

 

[JamesDixon]

He's a multi-class Paladin/Thief.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Being able to give massive amounts of gifts seems like a case of Miracle.
Another point in cleric's favor.

 

[Ismaul]

Wrong category.

Santa isn't a class, he's a spell. Precisely, a Mass Suggestion.

This spell is now maintained in part by (((people))) corrupting the original idea behind the Suggestion in order to transform man into a turboconsoomer. While man is in this form, he can be harvested for even more benefits and is also more vulnerable to other Suggestions.

 

[Abu Antar]

He's an Arcane Trickster.

 

[Kruyurk]

Most of it is trash loot thought. That grey item your aunt gifted you is not even worthy of hauling in town to resell.

 

[perfectslumbers]

Cavalier obviously. Can't separate him from his sleigh.

Are you implying Santa has no class?

 

[Serus]

Are we talking about the TV fat guy in red clothes or the saint? If the former then no one mentioned one of the most obvious choices:
Cleric (of Coca Cola) / Ninja. It explains how he can move silently and enter houses unseen and unnoticed and at the same time his choice of beverage.

The guy enters your home by the dirty chimney rather than knock at the door like a civilised man. Of course he has no class.

 

[Aemar]

 

[Fargus]

Barbarian of course.

reminds me of this
