Dungeons & Dragons Online: Core classes and build-defining choices

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Core classes and build-defining choices. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

Dungeons & Dragons Online rewards planning because class levels, feats, skills and enhancement choices are connected. A first character is easier to understand when it has one main combat approach. Decide what you want to use in a dungeon before distributing points across several unrelated possibilities, and check the requirements of later choices before accepting the next level.

These are the fifteen core classes. Archetypes are alternate versions of a class and access can depend on the account; the featured configuration uses the original Paladin, not Sacred Fist. Race, ability scores, level-by-level Feats and enhancement prerequisites all matter.
