MAJOR UPDATE
The quiz has been uploaded to EnWorld HERE: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?657399-Personality-Quiz-to-determine-your-favorite-class-race-subclass&p=7568062#post7568062




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1: Class

For each question, you will give me one number, with an optional second number. The first number is on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the absolute of one side of the question, and 10 being the other side.

The second number is a multiplier to determine how important that distinction is. You can choose to ignore the second number, but it defaults to 1. So if you want something to be twice as important as anything else, you just give me 2 as the second number and you can have every other one of your answers have no second number (because I'll just default it to 1).

For example, the first question is whether you want to be a melee combatant or a ranged one. For the first number, 1 is a strictly melee combatant, 10 is a strictly ranged combatant, 5 is a character halfway between both. How big the second number is will change how important that distinction is. For example, if you chose your first number as 5, and your multiplier as 3 (written as 5/3), you've indicated that it's 3x as important for your character to be equally as good with melee and ranged combat. However, 10/0.5 implies that you prefer very long ranged combat, but it's not that important of a distinction for what you're looking for.

You can also just choose to use 0 or N/A in any answer and I'll just omit it so that it has no impact on your end result.

Questions:


Do you prefer to be Melee (1) or Ranged (10)?
Do you solve your problems through Force (1) or Finesse (10)?
Do you solve your problems through Talent (1) or Magic (10)?
Do you want playing your character to be Simple (1) or Complex (10)?
Do you want your character to be Civil (1) or Savage (10)?
Do you prefer your character to be Kind (1) or Selfish (10)?
Does your character serve a higher power (1) or their own interests (10)?
Does your character influence others (1) or are they more independent (10)?
Do you want to be more Consistent (1) or more Versatile (10)?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2: Race

Same deal. This is mostly to find a race/society that mostly matches your targeted persona, rather than directly trying to maximize stats. You can be a social Goliath, it just means you're probably very different from the expectations of your race. I haven't gotten around to adding all the obscure races yet. Only PHB, Elemental Evil, and Aasimar so far. You can also add a second digit, just like before, to change how important an option is (although I just default to 1 if you omit the multiplier)

Questions:


Are you Wild (1) or Civilized (10)?
Are you Sturdy (1) or Nimble (10)?
Are you Firm (1) or Easygoing (10)?
Are you strong Physically (1) or Magically (10)?
Are you Selfish (1) or Sacrificing (10)?
Are you Quiet (1) or Sociable (10)?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3: Subclass

This should be filled out after you know what class you want to be, not before. These questions are a little bit different, and basically ask how you want to shift the core concept of the class, based on a polar scale of 1-5, with 3 being unchanged. For example, if you wanted to pick the Rogue, and the first question asked if you wanted to be more physical (1) or magical (5), you could pick 4 for a slight emphasis on adding magic (Arcane Trickster, Mastermind), or 1 for a huge emphasis on using physical talents (Thief, Scout).

You could also choose to say 0 to not have any preference at all. This can be important if you care more about other aspects for your perfect subclass, and that question won't be relevant for your final result.

Questions:

Do you prefer your class to become more:

Physical (1) or Magical (5)?
Simple (1) or Complex (5)?
Heroic (1) or Supportive (5)?
Risky (1) or Conservative (5)?
Melee (1) or Ranged (5)?
Holy (1) or Dark (5)?
Mobile (1) or Sturdy (5)?

[DMThac0]

And I will agree that there is a good amount of accuracy to your project. I answered according to the ideals of one of the NPCs that I play in my homebrew and you nailed it. Tak, Gnome Wizard (enchanter) with a penchant for making haphazard inventions, with her twin brother Tik, that seem to go wrong in all the right ways.

I actually forgot to include the multiplier for some of the Class questions the first go-round, which excluded some of the questions (as their multiplier was 0). However, this doesn't change the recommended subclass choice one bit, so as a Wizard, it'd be recommended for them to be an Enchantment Wizard, but as a Bard (which may suit more), they'd fit as a Lore Bard.

[DMThac0]

Result: DMThac0, the Lore Bard Gnome

Alright, quite accurate, the first was closer to what I was shooting for since I based the answers off of an NPC I play in my homebrew game. However, a Lore Bard Gnome is very close to what the twins could have been had I not chosen Enchantment Wizard as the main idea.

I'd be very interested in seeing how you set up the spread sheet, I'm working on my own for crafting custom monsters from scratch.

I had all the classes listed in sequence from highest to lowest regarding each question. For example, the Barbarian is the most Wild and the Bard is the most Civil, with everything else in a slot in between. Then, I translated your answer into a spot on that list (so the answer ranges from 1-10 for simplicity, so I just convert that into a range between 1-12). Then, each class has a box that increases in value for the distance from the answer you chosen was (so choosing Civilized will give Barbarian a very large score). Tally up the scores, outputting the smallest ones (the classes with the lowest variance). Then I have a bunch of lookups so that Barbarian translates to the same thing all over the place so that it's all very easy to track or modify, as does every other class/race.

In your example, the classes with the highest scores (AKA, the ones that a player with your answers should never play) is


Barbarian
Fighter
Warlock

Half-Orc divine soul sorcerer. Pretty close.

The thing that threw Half Orc out of the race was the Selfish/Sacrificing part of it. You rated it as a 10 in favor of Sacrificing, but I have Half Orcs on the opposite side of the spectrum. Additionally, I have the penalty scale with distance, so the further something is from your selection, the bigger the penalty.

In other words, if you say that ranged combat is important, no matter what your other choices are, it'll be impossible to be recommended a Barbarian.

[Edit] Damn this blew up quick.

Right. I was going for the shaman/healer of the tribe, which skewed less selfish than standard. Guess it can't be super accurate if you want to play a special snowflake "I'm not like other orcs, Rebecca" character.

The spots that made Ranger stand out the most were your emphasis on balance between melee and ranged combat, their independence and their balance of versatility and consistency.

Now, based off of the numbers, it looks like there wasn't any perfectly accurate option with your spread, the Ranger just happened to be the closest thing to "perfect", even if that means they were an inch closer than the Cleric.

Apparently, you shouldn't play Warlocks, Barbarians, or Sorcerers.

[Man_Over_Game]

Don’t worry, guys, I am still doing them, I’ll be able to start back up on Monday.

[Citan]

Hey Man!
Thank you very much for proposing this. I had made some survey for new people to help them tailor a character, but I never went past the "what kind of playstyle you're looking for" to try and schematize actual class suggestions.

So I'll be glad to test yours. :)
Just so we can later compare your result and mine, I'll put in a spoiler (so you cannot see) what my own take would be from my own answers.

To make it easier I'll answer "inline" in a copy of your OP. :)

Also, I'll consider that you make your analysis while keeping multiclass, feats and UA out for obvious reasons.

Finally, I'll consider a hard limit of character level 14 when projecting, because you rarely get to play higher and on upper levels balance changes vastly.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to upload it at the moment. I made it as a way of learning some advanced Excel spreadsheet uses that eventually evolved into a full on personality quiz that determines your best class, subclass, and race.

Now, each section is determined separately, so the questions you answer for one part don't influence a similar question in a separate section. This is important because you might be recommended a Fighter as part of the Class section, but you may prefer to use ranged combat as a fighter (which makes you a promising candidate for the Arcane Archer).

I'm unable to upload it at this time, but I'll gladly give you your results if you're willing to guinea pig for it. It's actually pretty accurate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1: Class

For each question, you will give me one number, with an optional second number. The first number is on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the absolute of one side of the question, and 10 being the other side.

The second number is a multiplier to determine how important that distinction is. You can choose to ignore the second number, but it defaults to 1. So if you want something to be twice as important as anything else, you just give me 2 as the second number and you can have every other one of your answers have no second number (because I'll just default it to 1).

For example, the first question is whether you want to be a melee combatant or a ranged one. For the first number, 1 is a strictly melee combatant, 10 is a strictly ranged combatant, 5 is a character halfway between both. How big the second number is will change how important that distinction is. For example, if you chose your first number as 5, and your multiplier as 3 (written as 5/3), you've indicated that it's 3x as important for your character to be equally as good with melee and ranged combat. However, 10/0.5 implies that you prefer very long ranged combat, but it's not that important of a distinction for what you're looking for.

You can also just choose to use 0 or N/A in any answer and I'll just omit it so that it has no impact on your end result.

Questions:


Do you prefer to be Melee (1) or Ranged (10)? 5/3
Do you solve your problems through Force (1) or Finesse (10)? 6
Do you solve your problems through Talent (1) or Magic (10)? 7/2
Do you want playing your character to be Simple (1) or Complex (10)? 8/0.1
Do you want your character to be Civil (1) or Savage (10)? 3
Do you prefer your character to be Kind (1) or Selfish (10)? 5
Does your character serve a higher power (1) or their own interests (10)? 5
Does your character influence others (1) or are they more independent (10)? 6
Do you want to be more Consistent (1) or more Versatile (10)? 9 / 3



This is actually kinda difficult because my answers have some competing goals somewhat.
Considering the weight of complexity and versatility and the biais towards magic, my first take would have been Druid without any doubt.
With Sorcerer and Warlock being alternatives, but much behind still.
BUT, the wish to be equally good in melee and ranged, which has the highest multiplier, changes optics quite a bit. Melee means decent AC and other tools for resilience, while ranged means good cantrip or Extra Attack with longbow. Druids can be good on ranged attacks but only through slotted spells, which is a dealbreaker to me. Melee can be good only with feats or huge investment on spells and heals, or being a Moon Druid with some tweaks, which is also a dealbreaker.
Druids are just not melee beasts if I may afford this pun.

So my final take will be Hexblade Tome Warlock or Ranger (subclass to determine, possibly Gloomstalker or Beastmaster), with Tempest/Nature Cleric and Swords Bard as a third choice.
Warlock should get the pole position because of options and weapon cantrips, but there has always been debate on how much pressure your Patron can put on you (in other words, whether we should consider Warlock as "serving higher power" in essence or not).
For that reason, I'll put Ranger on the same rank: you have less magical tools at your disposal but you get the essentials (Healing Spirit, Pass Without Trace, Conjure Animals, Polymorph). More importantly, you don't rely as much on spells or other features to keep alive and you can switch from melee to ranged in a flash without losing any efficiency.


So my final ranking would be...
1. Ranger (not the biggest versatility potential but otherwise matches all points perfectly) & Warlock (IF you consider you have no obligation to serve your Patron unless you decide it, otherwise should be with Clerics).
2. Swords Bard: versatile enough with some nice spells + Magic Secrets, can be pretty powerful in melee and ranged attacks alike too in spite of its name.
3. Tempest/Nature Cleric: big deal is the "serve deity" and lesser versatility overall because spell list is very oriented, but both get very useful spells and features.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2: Race

Same deal. This is mostly to find a race/society that mostly matches your targeted persona, rather than directly trying to maximize stats. You can be a social Goliath, it just means you're probably very different from the expectations of your race. I haven't gotten around to adding all the obscure races yet. Only PHB, Elemental Evil, and Aasimar so far. You can also add a second digit, just like before, to change how important an option is (although I just default to 1 if you omit the multiplier)

Questions:


Are you Wild (1) or Civilized (10)? 5
Are you Sturdy (1) or Nimble (10)? 7
Are you Firm (1) or Easygoing (10)? 7
Are you strong Physically (1) or Magically (10)? 7
Are you Selfish (1) or Sacrificing (10)? 5
Are you Quiet (1) or Sociable (10)? 5



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3: Subclass

This should be filled out after you know what class you want to be, not before. These questions are a little bit different, and basically ask how you want to shift the core concept of the class, based on a polar scale of 1-5, with 3 being unchanged. For example, if you wanted to pick the Rogue, and the first question asked if you wanted to be more physical (1) or magical (5), you could pick 4 for a slight emphasis on adding magic (Arcane Trickster, Mastermind), or 1 for a huge emphasis on using physical talents (Thief, Scout).

You could also choose to say 0 to not have any preference at all. This can be important if you care more about other aspects for your perfect subclass, and that question won't be relevant for your final result.

Questions:

Do you prefer your class to become more:

Physical (1) or Magical (5)?
Simple (1) or Complex (5)?
Heroic (1) or Supportive (5)?
Risky (1) or Conservative (5)?
Melee (1) or Ranged (5)?

You are the kind of people who when told "using a scale from one to ten can you describe X" would say -e^pi
I should have done that.

[DragonLord7]

You are the kind of people who when told "using a scale from one to ten can you describe X" would say -e^pi
I should have done that.

(Speaking in nasally nerd voice) Actually I believe you are meaning e^(Pi)I which actually equals -1 making it invalid. Serioulsy though I have actually done that to my friends.

No I meant -e^pi which is different from -1 because -1 is too mundane.
-1 is just an integer.
the objective was the end result and not obstruction.

It is true that I am a noob.
but I wanted a real number.
Maybe I would have went with alligator instead?

And I will agree that there is a good amount of accuracy to your project. I answered according to the ideals of one of the NPCs that I play in my homebrew and you nailed it.

For the Druid section, the options should be:


Shephard
Land
Dreams



However, based on the fact that your primary class selection was for a heavily melee-oriented combatant, I'd recommend Moon.

Unfortunately, the Subclass identifier does not work that well if you don't know what your primary class is first.

[Man_Over_Game]

Huh, neat. I was going for a War Magic/Abjuration Wizard.

I have Wizards listed as being more Civil than Rangers, use more Finesse than Rangers, use more Range than Rangers, they're the most complex (at around the 9-10 range), fairly selfish compared to the rest of the classes, fairly atheist (around an 8), and I have them listed as the most versatile class.

As for Abjuration Wizards in particular, they're considered the most sturdy(5), the most conservative(5), fairly simple (2), and they are the closest thing the Wizard has to a support option (5 on Supportive). Based on the subclass answers you provided, they were actually one of the least recommended wizards for you, but you can always give me a specific class and I'll give you your recommended subclasses for a new list of inputs.





NOTE FOR EVERYBODY
Do not be conservative with your answers. Do not be afraid to go extreme on the scale. Each number (1-10) refers to a specific class, and choosing to stay in the middle ground for all of your answers (around a 5) will end up outputting the most generic of the classes and races (which is why there's an awful lot of dwarves and rangers being outputted).

If you want something difficult (like finding a complex melee class) then own it. The more extreme your answers, the more accurate the assessment.

Additionally, please do not forget that the Subclass answers are relative to all the subclasses for that class. An Abjuration Wizard, for example, may not be what most people consider a "support", but it is the closest to being a "support" that any Wizard can be, and is ranked high on the Heroic/Support scale.

Not far off. The character i role played (as opposed to roll played) the most was a conquest paladin. It was a heavy homebrew campaign, so some leeway on subclass. But you nailed it in the first 2 categories. The other character I spent a fair time playing was a monk. Different race for flavor reasons. But mentally and role play would have easily been human.

I'd love a copy of your work if only to give to new gamers to find something that's closer to what they want. So far you seem to have nailed it.

Thank you so much.

I note that you did opt to have a non-magical class, but all of your other answers (with complexity, versatility) were more oriented towards casting.

I've never played a monk but I might try. I mostly play fighters, paladins and barbarians. The furthest I've strayed yet is my Hexblade that mostly uses his spell slots to eldritch smite.

[Man_Over_Game]

I've never played a monk but I might try. I mostly play fighters, paladins and barbarians. The furthest I've strayed yet is my Hexblade that mostly uses his spell slots to eldritch smite.

A lot of your answers were in-line with the Barbarian, actually, except for Civil vs. Savage. The monk is about a 5, and the Barbarian is about as savage as it gets with a 10, so that tipped the scale in the Monk's favor. Additionally, you wanted a mostly selfless character, and I have Monks as being roughly a 3 (fairly kind), and Barbarians a 7 (a bit unkind).

Hey Man!
Thank you very much for proposing this. I had made some survey for new people to help them tailor a character, but I never went past the "what kind of playstyle you're looking for" to try and schematize actual class suggestions.

So I'll be glad to test yours. :)
Just so we can later compare your result and mine, I'll put in a spoiler (so you cannot see) what my own take would be from my own answers.

To make it easier I'll answer "inline" in a copy of your OP. :)

Also, I'll consider that you make your analysis while keeping multiclass, feats and UA out for obvious reasons.

Finally, I'll consider a hard limit of character level 14 when projecting, because you rarely get to play higher and on upper levels balance changes vastly.

You were really close with your estimates, but I generally have Bards and Warlocks focus on ranged combat, due to the fact that they lack the default proficiencies that Druids and Clerics have.

Or, put in another way, neither a Warlock or Bard should be considered "melee" before a Druid, at least before deciding a subclass. This might seem an odd president

With that being said, here's your final spread:

Class:

Cleric
Bard
Druid



Race:

Gnome (By a massive margin)
Tiefling
Human


Subclass:
Cleric

Trickery
Arcana

There are 12 classes, but I just convert it into a 1-10 system to make it easier for people. If you chose a 3 in Consistent (1) vs. Versatile (10), this would mean that everything gets a penalty to be chosen based on the distance from your choice. A Warlock would not be penalized at all, but a Wizard would receive a massive hit.

Once all the questions are answered and each class having a penalty from all of the questions, the suggested classes are the ones with the smallest penalty. Penalty not only scales linearly, but also exponentially, specifically at a rate of X^1.2 . I mostly added this to break ties, but it does mean that "extreme" classes (like the Barbarian), often don't get picked, but I consider that a fair part of the program. Barbarians are often an extreme to play, and probably aren't a good choice for someone who's basing their build decisions from a personality quiz.

Races are designed the same exact way.

Subclasses work a little differently. Each subclass has an "ideal" value for each individual question, and the penalty that gets applied for that subclass equals the distance from your answer to the "ideal" of that subclass option. For example, on the Melee/Range question in subclasses, a Cavalier would be a 1, but an Eldritch Knight would be a 4. The Banneret, with their aura abilities, I also put as a 4 (implying more synergies with ranged combat than melee). This is not to imply that the Banneret or the Eldritch Knight are excellent ranged combatants, but that they take the Fighter and provide a few more benefits to fighting at range combat, however you may build. Similarly, the Bladesinger is considered a melee-heavy wizard compared to every other wizard subclass, and has a 1 in the Melee/Range category.

Not anymore.

[Edit]
Sidson messaged me with this array for his Fighter subclass:

Physical (1) or Magical (5)? 2
Simple (1) or Complex (5)? 5
Heroic (1) or Supportive (5)? 1
Risky (1) or Conservative (5)? 1
Melee (1) or Ranged (5)? 3
Holy (1) or Dark (5)? 3
Mobile (1) or Sturdy (5)? 5


Which results in:

Cavalier
Champion/Samurai
Battlemaster


The reason Champion/Samurai are listed on here, despite requesting a complex combatant, is due to the fact that Battlemaster and Cavalier are very supportive Fighter subclasses compared to their counterparts. So while Samurai and Champions are incredibly simple to play, they are also the most heroic, focusing on the enemy in front of them rather than paying attention to what their allies are doing.

Skylivedk's results

I've taken the liberty of halving the multiplier on the questions of Melee/Range and Civil/Savage, so that your answer doesn't contribute much to the final result. Selecting a 5 in Melee/Range makes it less likely to be recommended a strictly melee character (Paladin) or a strictly ranged one (Sorcerer) so it's best to adjust the multiplier to reflect how much you care about that particular answer.

With these adjustments, your spread is:


Wizard
Druid
Sorcerer



(without the adjustment to those questions, your results are:

I appreciate that. The Subclass Quiz doesn't make much sense as a standalone. Throwing numbers at it without knowing your class is like trying to give directions without knowing where you are. Sure, you might know how to get there, but that won't help anyone if you don't know where to start.

Skylivedk rolled a Gnomish Enchantment Wizard!

Thanks! Super close. I'm playing a gnome Illusionist in my current campaign. What tipped the scale for enchantment? I thought my love of complexity and finesse would be a home run for illusions Vs necromancy and enchantment.

On another note, my first 5e character was an elf ranger, second a halfling (bard), the third a halfling druid and my two current ones are a half elf hexblade and a gnome Illusionist. Surprisingly good test! I by far enjoy the gnome the most so far. Shenanigans are so easy to come by with illusions and being able to speak with small animals.

One thing I think a lot of people missed is that each section is its own separate thing. Section 1 determines your class, and section 3 refines the class to find your subclass. However, nothing you put in section 1 will do anything for finding your subclass.

I do have Illusion having a 5 in magic, where Enchantment has a 4, and there were some other subtle differences between your results and your section 3 input. But overall, the system has a lot of overlap between Enchantment and Illusion.

The magic scale is perhaps a bit harder to give weight to the Wizard subclasses (but I can see why you think illusions are even more magical than the rest); I didn't even think of it as playing a role in my Wizard subclass.

Are the different parameters weighted differently for choosing subclasses for different classes? Ie is the choice of complexity more determining for your subclass as a Wizard than for a Ranger?

Are melee hexblades not very hard/unlikely to get with the current range of questions?

Point taken and pardon me for not rereading the algorithm before responding. The magic scale is perhaps a bit harder to give weight to the Wizard subclasses (but I can see why you think illusions are even more magical than the rest); I didn't even think of it as playing a role in my Wizard subclass.

Are the different parameters weighted differently for choosing subclasses for different classes? Ie is the choice of complexity more determining for your subclass as a Wizard than for a Ranger?

Are melee hexblades not very hard/unlikely to get with the current range of questions?

Your first question is correct. Ranking a "3" on Physical/Magical means you're looking for a middling ground of magic-to-physical-ness, whatever that means for that class. For example, the Hunter Ranger has a 1 in Physical, but the Horizon Walker is ranked at a 5 due to its large number of magical-esc abilities.

A good rule of thumb is, if you took away all magic and supernatural effects the subclasses most impacted are higher up on the list. Gloom Stalker and Horizon Walker wouldn't be much without magic, so they are ranked high on the magic scale. On the flipside, Hunter and Beastmaster both participate using physical combat, so they're ranked rather low (Hunter being 1 and Beastmaster being 2). Monster Slayer, having a reliance on supernatural abilities that improve your mundane combat methods, sits at a middling 3.


For Wizard, who already sees a lot of magic, uses a sort of different perspective. A 1 on Physical/Magical would imply you want more physicality to the class, which fits well with the melee Bladesinger and the tankiness of a War Mage (who does well with physical classes like Fighters). Additionally, Conjuration deals with the creation of physical objects, summoning, teleporting, and other things that do well for someone who participates in physical combat, so it's ranked at a 2. From there, I broke it down based on how much a subclass relies on its magic, or what that magic represents. Transmutation is very magical, but deals with modifying physical objects: 3. Necromancy drains life energy from physical combatants: 4. Evocation deals with the literal element of energy and creation: 5. Divination magically determines how things physically are: 3.

However, this is all based on the perspective of the Wizard and how you want it to grow. If you're a Wizard, and you want to consider an option that multiclasses well with a physical class, you'd put a 1 in Physical/Magic and 5 in Mobile/Sturdy, which would output Bladesinger, War Mage, and Abjuration. Conjuration would come next, due to the fact that it adds teleportation and the summoning of weapons.
Alternatively, if you wanted your Wizard to focus only on the magical aspects and be an overly complicated, versatile mess of arcana, putting 5 in Physical/Magical, and 5 in Simple/Complex, you'd get Illusion, Necromancy, and a tie between Enchantment and Divination.

I try to make each question equally weighted between 1 and 5, so that your choice always has weight.

For determining whether a subclass does better in a particular category, I don't really pay attention to lore or preconceived notions. For example, most people would not consider a Druid being valid in melee combat, yet it has the same armor, health, and weapons as non-melee Clerics, has a suite of spells catered towards melee and mid-range combat, and it even has Absorb Elements.

Similarly, the Archfey Patron has a melee burst that effectively stops all enemy combatants near them, and it's packed with different methods of teleportation. Besides the lack of armor, it'd do exceptionally well as a melee combatant, which is why it's Melee/Range category is ranked at a 2, with Hexblade having a 1.

To get a Hexblade, I have it ranked like this:

Physical/Magical: 1
Simple/Complex: 3
Heroic/Supportive: 1
Risky/Conservative: 3
Melee/Range: 1
Light/Dark: 5
Mobile/Sturdy: 5

So the closer your answers are to that in picking a Warlock Subclass, the more likely you are to be recommended a Hexblade.

I also have the Pact choices on a separate scale, so you can technically be recommended a Tome for a Hexblade (although it's unlikely). Keep in mind, the system is designed around concepts, not balance. Just because you don't like the Pact Weapon doesn't mean it makes more narrative sense to be recommended the Tome for a melee character.

Heroic/Supportive simply just means whether the class is designed to be standalone (a damage dealer, usually), or if it has abilities that make it support the team in some way. A Cavalier, for example, is ranked pretty high as a supportive Fighter, despite not being what most people consider a "support".
Risky/Conservative is what I define as power vs. safety. Undying Patron is extremely conservative, keeping your team alive while having abilities that make you much harder to kill, while the Great Old One is much riskier, having very few defensive abilities and mostly focused around affecting others rather than staying alive.

For each class, I also track the averages, to see if the options are being biased towards one side or the other. This is important for something like the Druid, who has the Moon, capable of physical, melee combat, and every other druid subclass that prefers fighting at range. This could lead to some bias in the results, so I track the averages to make sure every question has equal options on either side of the scale. That way, if you want a melee oriented Druid but don't want Moon, you might be recommended Land (for its defensive abilities).

This sounds like it was a lot of work, and very cool

But I wonder if it might be even cooler than it looks...

Could you use this tool to identify archetype gaps?

That is, clearly there are mechanical and conceptual spaces that are not all that well served by current options (though multiclassing obviously helps)

Is there a way to excavate particular options that don’t generate close matches?

I’m sure we could all guess at some of them, but there might be some unexpected ones too!

Possibly. I wouldn't know how to get the system to identify them as-is, since it's mostly based on what's available rather than what's missing. The 1-5 scale is based on every possible subclass filling out the numbers evenly.

There are a few major ones I noticed, though, when trying to balance things out:

Barbarian has few magical, complex, ranged or support options.

Sorcerer lacks melee options.

Rogue lacks magic.

Paladin doesn't really have anything that adds complexity or simplicity. They're all basically the same thing, different goals.

Monk REALLY lacks any kind of support option. Trying to spread that out was rather difficult.
--------------------

I could create a new spread, one that defines how the subclasses are, based on level of impact to the core class, rather than being fleshed out as "design goals" for how you want the class to grow. The difference is, the Horizon Walker is considered the "most magical" of all Rangers, but doesn't actually add that much magic to the Ranger at all. It's only "more magical" when compared to the other Ranger Subclasses.

But doing so would basically be an entirely different system. I could do it, but I just don't have as much free time as I used to as when I made the current one. It also wouldn't be as practical, as it doesn't really help anyone to know what the system is missing.

--------------------

As for coming up with really odd answers, just ask for anything Melee that's supportive and complex. You're basically limited to Paladins, and they're all fairly equally supportive and complex. There's not really any options that are designed to be a complicated melee support. Cavalier Fighter, Abjurer Wizard, Valor Bard, and it gets pretty thin from there.

However, my system does have the penalty scale exponentially with how "off" a variable is for each subclass option. This means that the more "odd" your answer is from all of the other choices, the higher the end result. If you got every answer perfectly in line with a particular subclass, the resulting "penalty" would be 0, but most of the time the recommended subclass is around 5 (implying that each question was about 1 point off from that subclass), with the secondary and tertiary subclasses being around 7-9. I suppose I could average the results to show how "discordant" your answers are for the majority of all the subclasses, with a higher end result implying that your array of numbers isn't represented by any of the subclass options. But even then, it'd mostly be a trial-and-error thing, or some kind of system that just has every possible combination checked.

This is a cool concept!
I wish you'd upload it somewhere. Google Drive maybe? Dropbox?

I shouldn't be filling in the "subclass" bit yet, right?

You can guess that I'm really hoping to get a versatile, skilled and social spellcaster. Preferably a spontaneous one.

[Spiritchaser]

So if we ever get an arcane half caster, it will fill the gap best if it is primarily melee, complex and supportive.

Melee/Debuff/control is actually a lot of fun (conquest is a fair start, just not enough options) and I can imagine all sorts of ways to have complex interactions between spells and attacks.

I definitely agree with your opinion on the Conquest Paladin. It fleshes out a really cool mechanical concept in this edition, it's just a shame that the narrative is really hard to work with. Not everyone plans to be a Paladin of Conquering.

The Oath of the Crown actually fits a similar theme, it's just very niche in that most of its support abilities best work with melee allies.

[Man_Over_Game]

Alrighty, let's see what I roll this time. Also, is this an actual program you wrote (and if so, what language), or just a flowchart sort of thing?

Just an Excel sheet. I wanted to learn some new stuff, like how to use lookups and some advanced conditional formatting stuff, so I just made it a project.

Basically, every class has its own unique spot on a rank of 1-12 for each question (Barbarian is the most melee you can get, Sorcerer is the most ranged). I make a different list of all 12 classes in different sequences for each question (Barbarian is the most simple, Druid is the most complex, everything else someplace between those two extremes). Once I have all of my questions made, I ask your input on a scale of 1-10, which I convert into a 1-12 equivalent. Each class gets a "penalty" for how far it was for your answer in each question in comparison to their location on the corresponding list (so if you want something really complex, Barbarian gets a huge penalty). Tally up all the penalties from each question for each class, list off the 3 classes with the lowest penalties.

The Race portion works exactly the same. Dragonborn are the most civilized, Goliath are the most wild. Halflings are the most easy-going, Half-orcs are the most stubborn, etc.

Subclass works a little different, where you take the base class and are asked to modify it in your image, on a scale of 1-5, where 3 is just maintaining a balance for the class. Each subclass has an array of "ideal answers", where they have a sweet spot to what matches them the most. The further your answer is from their ideal, the larger the penalty. For example, the Cavalier Fighter has a large emphasis on melee combat, and so would get a hefty penalty if you asked for a ranged Fighter class. On the other hand, Battlemaster adds a lot of support for ranged combat, so I gave it a slight favoritism for ranged combat, where Arcane Archer has a large emphasis on ranged combat. Tally up the penalties and output the subclasses with the smallest totals.

Because the subclass section requires you to know what your base class is and how you want to adapt it, it doesn't use any of the scores from the first section, and it's best done after you already know what your specific class is. Saying "I want more ranged combat" in the Section 3 won't really mean much if you were recommended the Barbarian in Section 1. It works best when you play through the first couple levels of your class and figure out what you want to do with it, or for more experienced folk who know what their class is but don't know what they want in a subclass.

---------------------------

At the end of page 3 on this thread, I have a list of how all the classes are organized. A lot of it comes down to opinion (what's more selfish, a Fighter or a Ranger?), but I think it's fairly reasonable.

Part of my assessment was to base their place off of mostly mechanical, not thematic, roles. A Ranger (and Ranger subclasses) has more abilities that impact allies than a Fighter does, which implies that they're better at working with others, which implies that they're less selfish than a Fighter.

[Man_Over_Game]

Interesting, considering my next character if I ever get to play instead of GM is going to be a Lizardfolk Cleric of Nature. It's like everything is just one step away from my plans.

I don't have Lizardfolk on the race list, but I might in a future version.

Cleric wasn't mentioned because I have them listed as being more physical and more melee than Druids, due to the fact that they consistently have access to martial weapons and heavy armor when Druids don't in any subclass. On a scale of Barbarian to Sorcerer (1-12) in terms of Melee vs. Range, Clerics fell on 4, where Druids/Warlocks fell on 7-8.

I also have Clerics be listed as fairly Civil, and you indicated that Savagery was very important for you.

However, if Cleric was your choice, Nature was the #1 recommended Cleric.

There are 12 classes, but I just convert it into a 1-10 system to make it easier for people.

I'd be curious to know if the accuracy would improve if you had people use a 1-12 ranking. There's good evidence to show that asking people to rank things on non-decimal scales leads to better accuracy in their rankings. With decimal, a lot of people go for 3, 5, or 7. The study I remember reading, they tested people by having them rank things on a 1-7 scale, and got better results. The idea is that non-decimal forces people to put more thought into it, because it's an unusual scale. I wonder if 1-12 would have the same effect.

Thanks :D

[ZorroGames]

Unfortunately, I'm unable to upload it at the moment. I made it as a way of learning some advanced Excel spreadsheet uses that eventually evolved into a full on personality quiz that determines your best class, subclass, and race.

Now, each section is determined separately, so the questions you answer for one part don't influence a similar question in a separate section. This is important because you might be recommended a Fighter as part of the Class section, but you may prefer to use ranged combat as a fighter (which makes you a promising candidate for the Arcane Archer).

I'm unable to upload it at this time, but I'll gladly give you your results if you're willing to guinea pig for it. It's actually pretty accurate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 1: Class

For each question, you will give me one number, with an optional second number. The first number is on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the absolute of one side of the question, and 10 being the other side.

The second number is a multiplier to determine how important that distinction is. You can choose to ignore the second number, but it defaults to 1. So if you want something to be twice as important as anything else, you just give me 2 as the second number and you can have every other one of your answers have no second number (because I'll just default it to 1).

For example, the first question is whether you want to be a melee combatant or a ranged one. For the first number, 1 is a strictly melee combatant, 10 is a strictly ranged combatant, 5 is a character halfway between both. How big the second number is will change how important that distinction is. For example, if you chose your first number as 5, and your multiplier as 3 (written as 5/3), you've indicated that it's 3x as important for your character to be equally as good with melee and ranged combat. However, 10/0.5 implies that you prefer very long ranged combat, but it's not that important of a distinction for what you're looking for.

You can also just choose to use 0 or N/A in any answer and I'll just omit it so that it has no impact on your end result.

Questions:


Do you prefer to be Melee (1) or Ranged (10)? 7
Do you solve your problems through Force (1) or Finesse (10)? 3
Do you solve your problems through Talent (1) or Magic (10)? 5
Do you want playing your character to be Simple (1) or Complex (10)? 3
Do you want your character to be Civil (1) or Savage (10)? 2
Do you prefer your character to be Kind (1) or Selfish (10)? 3
Does your character serve a higher power (1) or their own interests (10)? 7
Does your character influence others (1) or are they more independent (10)? 7
Do you want to be more Consistent (1) or more Versatile (10)? 2


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2: Race

Same deal. This is mostly to find a race/society that mostly matches your targeted persona, rather than directly trying to maximize stats. You can be a social Goliath, it just means you're probably very different from the expectations of your race. I haven't gotten around to adding all the obscure races yet. Only PHB, Elemental Evil, and Aasimar so far. You can also add a second digit, just like before, to change how important an option is (although I just default to 1 if you omit the multiplier)

Questions:


Are you Wild (1) or Civilized (10)? 7
Are you Sturdy (1) or Nimble (10)? 2
Are you Firm (1) or Easygoing (10)? 7
Are you strong Physically (1) or Magically (10)? 2
Are you Selfish (1) or Sacrificing (10)? 5
Are you Quiet (1) or Sociable (10)? 5


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3: Subclass

This should be filled out after you know what class you want to be, not before. These questions are a little bit different, and basically ask how you want to shift the core concept of the class, based on a polar scale of 1-5, with 3 being unchanged. For example, if you wanted to pick the Rogue, and the first question asked if you wanted to be more physical (1) or magical (5), you could pick 4 for a slight emphasis on adding magic (Arcane Trickster, Mastermind), or 1 for a huge emphasis on using physical talents (Thief, Scout).

You could also choose to say 0 to not have any preference at all. This can be important if you care more about other aspects for your perfect subclass, and that question won't be relevant for your final result.

Questions:

Do you prefer your class to become more:

Physical (1) or Magical (5)? 3
Simple (1) or Complex (5)? 2
Heroic (1) or Supportive (5)? 2
Risky (1) or Conservative (5)? 4
Melee (1) or Ranged (5)? 3
Holy (1) or Dark (5)? 2
Mobile (1) or Sturdy (5)? 5


Hope that is clear.

[lluvia]

I've registered just so I could take the quiz!
I really appreciate something like this where numerical values create results which seem more accurate and variable when compared to those that resemble a flowchart.
Great for people like me who want to try something different but not comfortable with exactly everything.

No multipliers.

Class:
0, 7, 4, 4, 3, 4, 0, 0, 7

Race:
0, 6, 6, 0, 7, 3

My subclass values are all 0 since you recommended to do it after my class had been chosen.

It would be a nice additional feature if my subclass could be recommended to me dependent on my answers to the class section so that the runner-up results may hold more significance. This might make the system too complex, but it's just an idea based on how I receive the flavor of subclasses in 5e.

It would be a nice additional feature if my subclass could be recommended to me dependent on my answers to the class section so that the runner-up results may hold more significance. This might make the system too complex, but it's just an idea based on how I receive the flavor of subclasses in 5e.

It's not necessarily a matter of complexity, but a matter of accuracy.

Say you wanted something simple, melee and civil, so the system recommends you the Fighter.

However, you feel that the Fighter is a bit *too* simple for what you're looking for, and while the Fighter fits most of your criteria, it's still missing a lot of what you're looking for.

The problem comes in with the fact that you wanted a Simple class but don't want a Simple subclass for the Simple class. But since you rated Simple so highly on the class portion, the system thinks you want a Simple subclass, too, so it recommends the Samurai or the Champion, which are two of the simplest builds you can play.

I chose to keep them separate, using the Class section to broadly find what you're looking for, and using the Subclass feature to more accurately hone in on what you want. That way, I get your opinion twice.

Similarly, when buying furniture, you generally pick the house it's going in first.

Could you not update it to a D&D site that allows files to be uploaded? I'll plead ignorance on GITP, but I know enworld hosts stuff and I've used them a few times.

Well it's possible they don't want to share it for whatever reason ie (unfinished, they just don't want to) or they would just rather do it themselves and its easier for the OP to say unable to upload. (Not meant as an insult just possibilities)

[guachi]

I can understand not wanting to release a complex spreadsheet for consumer use. I've made enough of them in my time to know that a large amount of work goes into making a spreadsheet or database user friendly. I have an Expert certification in Excel and the result is I make spreadsheets other people can't use because they are too complex.

Honestly, I've just gotten really busy. I had a lot of free time with the furlough in the US, and now I'm playing catch up, so I haven't had a whole lot of time, and it can take a decent amount of time away.

I have an Expert certification in Excel and the result is I make spreadsheets other people can't use because they are too complex.

I try to make things easy by color coding where basic users need to pay attention/input information. It makes things a lot easier, I find. The spreadsheet itself was designed to be an all-in-one package for new players, includes a few pages on the basic rules and what each caster is best at. I kinda used it as a dartboard for a bunch of random ideas, and the quiz just happened to be the biggest/most complex one. I'll make sure to upload it sometime tonight.

Does someone have any recommendation on the best way of uploading these kinds of things? I know I could use Google Docs, but I'm not familiar with it and I'm not sure how to make it so that the only thing people would be able to download from there is the spreadsheet.

You can upload an Excel spreadsheet directly to enworld. People have done it for fillable Excel character sheets. I don't think the system really cares what kind of file you upload except there's probably a size limit (can't actually check at work as enworld is blocked but this site isn't). Then just give it a description and you're good to go.

Google Docs is only for documents, like Word files. For an Excel file, you'd need Google Drive. Which is quite user friendly - you just login, select a file from your computer that you wish to share, and then in the upper right corner you hit the share button and create a link (make sure you don't enable others to edit your file).

What people will be able to download is only the exact file for which you created the link. No other files in your Drive are accessible. If you meant that your Excel file holds a few sheets (or tabs, not sure what they're called), then you'd best create a duplicate of your file first and remove all sheets you don't want others to access. Then upload/share the copy.

It's made in Excel. It doesn't have any overcomplicated macros or programming, so it should run fine on Open office, if you don't have Excel, but I don't know if the formulas are 100% compatible.

Use Excel if you got it, or Open office if you're broke.

Huh, Illusion Wizard Tiefling. Make it a Feral Tiefling and that's pretty solid honestly.

[masterjoda99]

I put an 8 in the Physical/Magical split field, and got Ranger, Paladin, Monk as the top 3 picks, as opposed to actual casters? How did that happen? Was it because of the 2 in Melee/Ranged split?

[Man_Over_Game]

I put an 8 in the Physical/Magical split field, and got Ranger, Paladin, Monk as the top 3 picks, as opposed to actual casters? How did that happen? Was it because of the 2 in Melee/Ranged split?

Potentially. It can also come down to your other questions, too. Did you also request to have a simple character who was neither athiest nor pious? Because the Ranger, Paladin and Monk are considered much simpler to play than full casters.

Also note that the class and subclass sections have nothing to do with one another. Just because the Wizard has a melee build doesn't mean that the Wizard class will be high up as a magical melee class. That does mean it ranks higher as a melee class than a Sorcerer, though.

However, for magical and melee, a Cleric or Druid should have been the number one choice, unless your other answers disqualified them (likely religion\selfishness)

If a question doesn't have as much weight as another (like, maybe it doesn't matter how religious your character is) make sure to modify the multiplier variable (in orange) for that question.

[Man_Over_Game]

Lastly, please make sure not to fill out the subclass section until AFTER you pick your class. The questions are relative to the class that you've already picked (such as, do you want your Paladin to use more melee or range?) and it won't work right if you don't know how you want to adapt your chosen class.

Hm, I've done it and repeated it and tweaked things a bit for experimental purposes, and still consistently get paladin and ranger among my top 3 recommendations, no matter how magical i specify. Guess I'm just more of a ranger or paladin than I ever thought.

It was a work-in-progress when I stopped modifying it, but there's also a section on the Class tab that recommends your best stats based on your Class answers. Each stat has an ideal value for each question, as well as having an individual importance ranking for each class.

So while Dexterity will always be the most important stat for a Monk, how aggressive you are or how much you prefer melee combat may determine whether or not Constitution or Wisdom is your secondary stat.

Redone the quiz. The race and class have been completed. Which column am I looking at to get my final answer re subclass? Aj?

This has been fun so far :)

I appreciate all the great work you put in there.
Still, I have to say this didn't help me at all.

All these hard question i don't know the answer to.

Can't you just make a separate section for people like me with only one question?



Would you like to be overpowered, unkillable and curb-stomp everything? (Wussy/Badass) 1/10

Now that's a question i can answer.

Now that's a question i can answer.


Moon Druid Gnome. Maybe grab a level into Barbarian if you feel like a real jerk.
Eldritch Knight High Elf. Pack a few levels of Abjurer, too, maybe?
Warlock Tiefling (the one with wings). Grab yourself Darkness and Devil's Sight.
Aarakocra Sun Soul Monk. Fly around, go Pew-Pew, block projectiles that shoot you and fall safely to the ground if you need to.
Lore Bard Half-Elf. Pretty hard to go wrong here.
Dwarf Hexblade Paladin. Rock heavy armor and dump Strength.
Human Variant Sharpshooter/Crossbow Expert Ranger. Hunter's Mark, fire away.



If you don't know an answer to any particular question on the quiz, though, you can just put a 0 (zero) into one of the slots. The algorithm will ignore that question for the sake of giving you your character.

Hm, if i put 0 everywhere, i think it breaks the algorithm :P
