So I'm just wondering what the most terrifying real life implications of the D&D 5e character classes are. Subclasses are included. I think it might be Cleric/Warlock just by confirming that gods and devils and whatnot are real but I want to know what the smart people of the internet want to say!
Pretty much every aspect of the game. Spells are real. There really are gods, and malevolent forces. I hate the idea that the bad guys can come out on top. That's something I see too much of in the real world, and I don't want to experience anything like reality when I play a game. I ache to be someone in that game, someone with power and who is capable. So it's really everything in the game.

There are none, it’s a fantasy make believe game of imagination. If you are running around with a weapon killing orcs in real life then go see your doctor. Unless you are LARPing.
This is a purely hypothetical situation. IF D&D things magically became real, what would be the most life shattering implication. I do not run around killing orcs irl... No... definitely not

Wait... you don't? I thought it was a normal hobby. Maybe I'm behind on the trends nowadays...

All stars fade.

I don't kill orcs. I mean, I'm half-orc half-genasi. No orc-killing here.
If D&D were real the really good thing is that there is an afterlife. I'd rather go to the Abyss than just... die.
Hey, it's not my fault that I'm an elf! We have an innate rivalry. But I would tend to agree with that, yes. The afterlife is definitely a plus.

I have to smile at that. I've had a very difficult life, and there are times when I felt like the gods were mad at me, and I couldn't understand why. Proving that there was a real afterlife? That would confirm my suspicion.

Tolkien and WotC would think so, but only Tolkien is right (his orcs would technically use the aberration or construct creature types)
Couldn't they alternatively be considered fiends? At the very least they were created by and continue to work for masters (Morgoth and Sauron) that would probably be considered fiends in a D&D context (well fallen celestials more accurately, but D&D 5e seems to lump those into fiends given the listed creature type of both Zariel and Asmodeus).

I would go with Monstrosity, since they were changed using magic, but they're not humanoid, I don't think. Orcs and elves aren't actually enemies in my homebrew setting, but I was going by most published WotC content.

Morgoth and Sauron would definitely be fiends, but I see orcs more as Monstrosities. They don't possess most of the traits typically associated with fiends.

I mean that sounds like fun! I get to transform into a lvl3 Aasimar (Protection) Druid (Circle of Blood [from Grim Hollow Players Guide]) who is also a Vampire (from Grim Hollow Players Guide)
If the game became reality does that mean I become the character that is me in the game? That is scary
I wish lol. I would likely still just be me, so basically a commoner.
Same. If I became one of my characters, I would probably either become a manipulative psychopathic fallen angel or a giant, amorphous cloud (don't ask).

The GM/highest god allows atrocities and evils to exist to entertain players/lesser gods.

The fact that gods exist and are very real, as stated with the Cleric thing, but can simply be denied with the Iconoclast thing from MOoT.
