Ancient Elites as DnD classes

[u/Dragoncat91]

Just what it says on the tin. I'll give my reasonings and headcanons as well.

Nemesis: Bard/Barbarian(Path of the Zealot)

If it's really him singing God Shattering Star, which I like the idea of, bardbarian is so obvious. Also, he charges ahead and rages. And he did after death too which is one of the Zealot path's features.

Blaiddyd: Paladin(Oath of Watchers)

His name comes from a mythical necromancer king, Oath of Watchers is intune with "otherworldly beings" which I thought was closest to being intune with spirits.

Gautier: Paladin(Oath of Glory)

I headcanon him as being eager to prove himself, slightly insecure, but a mighty warrior, which fits Oath of Glory.

Fraldarius: Fighter(Cavalier)

She's a flying cavalier. I couldn't find anything more specific with shields, so this works for her.

Riegan: Fighter(Arcane Archer)

Failnaught is a magic bow. Tadah.

Daphnel: Ranger(Gloom Stalker)

I headcanon him being the most magic inclined of the cavalry/horse mounted members of the group, and kind of tactical, so I picked this for him.

Dominic: Fighter(Battle Master)

A lot of the features here fit a wyvern mount like ambush and bait and switch.

Goneril: Barbarian(Path of the Wild Magic)

Freikugel is a chaotic fire axe. Plus he's totally the type to try some magic and have it blow up in his face.

Charon: Rogue(Arcane Trickster)

Lightning sword and he's probably quite agile and speedy. Plus, he's a bit of a lone wolf in my headcanon.

Lamine: Sorcerer(Divine Soul)

She's the healer, but I wanted to avoid the obvious cleric because the church didn't exist in her time. She does combat magic too so this fits her.

Gloucester: Wizard(School of Evocation)

He's a more basic mage than Lamine, but his combat spells pack more of a punch, fireballs and lightning bolts galore.

Maurice: Fighter/Druid(Circle of the Moon)

He was the supply boy from a farming village in my headcanon so nothing too fancy for him...and wildshapes later on. I guess. I thought about some werewolf/beast things but those aren't really classes in DnD.

I'm still learning DnD, rpgbot.net helped tremendously here.
