Is It Possible to Play D&D, say 5E; without Character Classes, as we know it?
Yes. A few ways you can go about it. The one I came up with and considered most viable and the least hassle was having everyone one of two classes, the Fighter or Thief, and then returning the original playtest Magic Adept feats.
How to Play D&D without Character Classes
Fighters and Thieves
The Fighter and Thief classes are the simplest way to play without character classes. Fighters have the same base stats and abilities as the Fighter class in the Player’s Handbook, but they are not limited to any particular weapon or armor. They can use any weapon or armor they choose, and they can use any magical items they find. Thieves have the same base stats and abilities as the Rogue class in the Player’s Handbook, but they are not limited to any particular weapon or armor. They can use any weapon or armor they choose, and they can use any magical items they find.
Magic Adepts
The Magic Adept class was originally part of the playtest for 5E, but was removed from the final version. This class was designed to be a hybrid of the Fighter and Wizard classes, and it allowed players to cast spells without having to choose a specific spellcasting class. The Magic Adepts have the same base stats and abilities as the Fighter and Wizard classes, but they are not limited to any particular weapon or armor. They can use any weapon or armor they choose, and they can use any magical items they find.
Custom Classes
If you want to create a completely custom class, you can do so by using the point-buy system in the Player’s Handbook. This system allows you to customize your character’s stats and abilities to create a unique class. You can also create custom feats and spells to further customize your character.
Conclusion
Playing D&D without character classes is possible, and there are several ways to do it. You can use the Fighter and Thief classes, the Magic Adept class, or create your own custom class using the point-buy system. No matter which option you choose, you can still have a fun and exciting game.
