Classes by Association

Core Class, Archetype and Association Categories

These core class, archetype, and association tag categories are used to characterize classes and some subclasses. These tags are intended to be parallel to the race tags. Essentially carrying forward the race categorization system that is already in the wiki.

Core Class Tags:
[[Category:Barbarian Tag]]    <!-- core class - B - Rage, berserk or uncivilized fighter. -->
[[Category:Bard Tag]]         <!-- core class - O - Music or performance based caster -->
[[Category:Cleric Tag]]       <!-- core class - C - Deity religion based caster and often a tank type fighter. -->
[[Category:Druid Tag]]        <!-- core class - D - Nature religion based caster. -->
[[Category:Fighter Tag]]      <!-- core class - F - Melee and/or ranged fighter with magic less than or equal to an eldritch knight. -->
[[Category:Monk Tag]]         <!-- core class - M - Ki based or martial arts fighter. -->
[[Category:Paladin Tag]]      <!-- core class - P - Religiously associated fighter, often an offensive oriented fighter. -->
[[Category:Ranger Tag]]       <!-- core class - R - Tracker, hunter, beast master type fighter. -->
[[Category:Rogue Tag]]        <!-- core class - T - thief, rogue, assassin or some-such. -->
[[Category:Sorcerer Tag]]     <!-- core class - S - Internally (or externally) powered caster, having a spell slot table, and often something like sorcery points. -->
[[Category:Warlock Tag]]      <!-- core class - V - Pact based arcane caster. -->
[[Category:Wizard Tag]]       <!-- core class - W - Book wielding arcane caster. -->

Archetype Tags:
[[Category:Alchemist Tag]]    <!-- archetypal - I - Wondrous potion or substance concocter. -->
[[Category:Artificer Tag]]    <!-- archetypal - A - Animated thing builder. -->
[[Category:Beast Master Tag]] <!-- archetypal - Q - Class that focuses on working with animals, lacking the nature religion or tracking abilities of a druid or ranger. -->
[[Category:Commoner Tag]]     <!-- archetypal - L - Class with powers less strong than a regular adventuring class. Often just a profession. -->
[[Category:Dilettante Tag]]   <!-- archetypal - U - This class gives access to feature sets from oodles of other classes. -->
[[Category:Gunslinger Tag]]   <!-- archetypal - G - Firearm based, primarily ranged fighter. -->
[[Category:Healer Tag]]       <!-- archetypal - H - Has healing abilities not associated with a religion. -->
[[Category:Necromancer Tag]]  <!-- archetypal - N - Death, undeath, or necromancy related classes. -->
[[Category:Psionic Tag]]      <!-- archetypal - K - Mind stuff, psionics etc. -->
[[Category:Shapeshifter Tag]] <!-- archetypal - J - Arcane or other (non-racial) shape shifters. Undead are not considered 'races' here, so a shapeshifter class may be an undead racial class. -->
[[Category:Sorcery Tag]]      <!-- archetypal - E - A sorcery class gets magic power from somewhere other than themselves, and that often does not have spell points or spell slot table -->

Association Tags:
[[Category:5e Class Variant]]
[[Category:5e Class Mashup]]
[[Category:5e Class Hub]]     <!-- not used right now, use Dilettante Tag for the time being - classes that seem to have subclasses that could each be considered a different mashup or variant. -->
[[Category:5e Class Nonvariant]]

Directions

For your class either:

• Choose one category from the core or archetypal list and [[Category:5e Class Variant]] or
• Choose two or more categories from the core or archetypal lists and [[Category:5e Class Mashup]] or
• Choose no categories from the core or archetypal lists and [[Category:5e Class Nonvariant]]
