This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One-Class Parties in D&D?

Only done this by accident, where nobody wanted to change characters. We had a first level party of five fighters and one rogue, and nearly got killed by some goblins with wolves.

We did an all Wizards party (v3.5) and it worked out fairly well. Prior to the 1st session we all got together and decided who would fill what role. Multiclassing was allowed but only so that it didn't drop your Caster Level below the opportunity to cast 9th level spells later on and we had to all be the same class at 1st level. One guy played a Summoner to use them for tanks. Another Played an enchanter for the party face while the 3rd went Evocation because they liked to blast things. I decided to be the party buffer and was mostly Transmutation and Abjuration, grabbed a feat that allowed me to add domain spells to my wizard list (I think I used Healing).

The game sort of fizzled out due to scheduling and Summer but it was pretty fun.


I actually wanted to run an all Paladin party and see how that goes but they'd all follow a different deity and have different ideals on how to deal with situations.

Yes, we ran a NotQuiteRoman Priests campaign. We got the idea from a guy I knew in the military. All the players chose one Roman God as a patron and went with the NotQuiteRoman Legions to NotQuiteIreland to convert the land from heathenry. It was pretty fun what with the internal power politics between the varying Priests (esp. Dis Pater thinking it was his time to shine) and the fight with the Druids interfering with each other.
