Neverwinter: Classes and Paragon paths

Neverwinter: Classes and Paragon paths. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

Neverwinter combines Dungeons & Dragons classes with action combat, so a build must be usable while moving and reacting. Begin with a class role you want to practise, then arrange powers around a short sequence. Item Level is useful context for access, but it does not explain whether your selected powers and defensive response work together.

The class and its Paragon path determine the available role and powers. This is the nine-class roster, with both paths named. A damage path is not interchangeable with the tank or healing path in a dungeon queue.
