About Dungeons and Dragons Online
Classes
Your character’s class is like your profession. It will most clearly define the role you will play in group adventures. Available classes are barbarian, bard, cleric, fighter, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, and wizard.
 Barbarians are mighty warriors who harness the power of battle rage into a ferocious attack ability. This strength and damage boost improves as a barbarian gains levels. Constant exposure to danger also gives barbarians the innate abilities to sense danger and dodge attacks.
 Bard songs inspire companies to heroic performance and harass opponents to weakness. They can even heal the injured. The versatile bard also casts arcane spells, holds their own in battle, and uses rogue skills.
 Clerics are always welcome in a party. Their healing skills are unmatched, they know how to fight, and they use their holy magic to turn away or even destroy undead creatures. Clerics can use simple weapons and all forms of armor and shields without penalty.
 The fighter learns early how to dish out and deflect face-to-face combat damage. She is proficient with all standard weapons and armor types at level one. Her bonus feats give her access to melee maneuvers and exotic weapons not available to others.
 As a sworn enemy of evil, the paladin draws her power from the forces of good to protect and inspire companions. The experienced paladin fears nothing, can heal companions, and can turn undead.
 Rangers are superior hunters who can fight from a distance and hand-to-hand with equal aptitude. Every ranger has a favored enemy that he can hunt with enhanced skills. Rangers know how to hide and move quietly. An experienced ranger develops a bond with nature that allows him to cast divine spells.
 Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers in the arts of stealth, evasion and sneak attack. A rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and has a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. A rogue is unequalled in his ability to find and disable traps.
 Sorcerers manipulate magic energy through intense concentration. A sorcerer can learn fewer spells than a wizard (who learns them from a book), but can cast spells faster and more often than anyone else. Sorcerers are proficient with simple weapons.
 To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult art learned through intensive study. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. Wizards can also learn new spells from scrolls, which they inscribe in their spellbook.
