I've been wanting to play a character based on the leper from darkest dungeon for a while but can't think of what class to play as. So does anyone here have any ideas. Though I do think that either a barbarian or paladin could work.
Haven’t played the game but looked at the wiki of the character. Healing, protection, damage + poetry.
To me this sounds like a Paladin that multiclasses as a warlock with the entertainer background, leaning on charisma. Pick whatever subclasses and species you want. You could also multiclass as a bard and skip warlock but you’d need to max strength without pact of the blade.
However….. I could just as easily see this as a necrotic themed life cleric with a ranger dip to get weapon specializations. If you went this route I would 100% take the guide background and pick poison spray as an attack cantrip, and for the free spell pick something other than Goodberry because they nerfed the Life Berry exploit in 2024. I would probably take Healing Word just to have a freebie get out of jail card.
Either way I would play with a Great Sword and just destroy everything in my path dumb enough to get close.
