d20 fans take my one question poll

bc it’s fun to see how changes happen over time! i will be posting this after each episode to get a handle on trends in fave-ness and such. please don’t bot this or anything, there’s no prize, i’m just curious. favorite is defined however you want it to be (overall, weekly, in this moment, because you like the player) so just go with what feels right.

Forgot to give my CloHo class guesses so here I go!

Going into it I will say it is genuinely pretty hard to pin these down. It’s a steampunk season so everyone’s decked out in gears which is giving artificer and is packing at least one gun which is obviously giving gunslinger fighter lmao.

Anyways. Here we go!

Marya: Rogue. Her character has a lot of fun dangly bits and accessories which made me think maybe Artificer. But as stated above every character is a little bit giving artificer on account of the setting. So the MOST important bit I clocked was the little potential thieves tools on her belt. Could definitely still be artificers tools but I’m leaning more towards them being lil lock picks… We have seen Emily as a rogue on an IH season before. However. It was a relatively quick class change for that specific character which TOTALLY made sense for her overall arc so I would 100% get it if she wanted to take a second try with a different pc lol.

Olethra: Sorcerer? Honestly maybe a controversial pick. Her design is kind of simplistic, not at all in a bad way, so all we really have to go off of is the whip. I doubt that’s her primary means of fighting. And honestly? As someone with a Clockwork Soul Sorcerer PC. They have major steampunk energy I think Ally could nail. Have they already played a Sorcerer? Yes. Would I be one million percent on board with them doing it again? Also yes. Allys never played anything other than a full or half caster on an IH season and I’m not at all against it. Find what you love and do it <3

Maxwell: Monk? He is not depicted with any weaponry in his official character art but his physical prowess is acknowledged verbally in the trailer. Him being one of two characters without a visible weapon is what’s making me lean monk. Murph tends to stick with partial caster even when going melee on 5e (switching to arcane trickster for Riz and being eldritch knight for Theo) so it’d be fun to see him return to the good ole days of full melee which we could argue was last seen with Bary but if not (since it was a different system), hasn’t been seen in an IH season since freshman year Riz.

Daisuke: Fighter or Rogue. Honestly I think if Marya is in fact a Rogue he’s pretty much guaranteed gunslinger fighter. Again almost all of these characters have a gun so a lot of them are giving me gunslinger vibes. However! Daisuke has TWO guns. So he’s the most gunslinger of all lmao. We have also already seen Zac as a rogue (Pib) as well as a rogue-equivalent (Skip) in IH seasons so that could arguably be another point leaning towards fighter over rogue. Zac likes his melee classes and I respect it.

Vanellope: Artificer. For the last time. Yes. Like ALL of these characters are radiating artificer aesthetic because they’re all steampunk aesthetic. But I think, like Daisuke, she simply has the MOST artificer aesthetics. On account of the sick steampunk prosthetic. Also whatever it is on that necklace could be a spell focus? Otherwise for visible weaponry all we’ve really got is the gun. I think even in the old picture of the younger crew she gives the most second/third in command vibes being between the grandparents which in my mind is another tick on the box of ‘the MOST artificer’. Siobhan does tend to lean full or half caster class during IH seasons, in fact I think she’s actually done all of them EXCEPT cleric, artificer, and paladin. We have one whole IH season artificer (Gorgug) and one whole IH season artificer-equivalent (Gunnie) so it’d be nice to see her take a crack at it alongside checking off one of the last of the half caster classes in general lol.

Montgomery: Wizard or Druid! Official character art depicts him with a book and vials holstered as well as a book in hand which is what’s making me think Wizard. The animal patch on the coat, horn necklace, and flora beneath his feet is what’s making me think Druid. We haven’t seen Lou play either class in an IH season yet! We have, however, seen him play a WIS caster (Kingston) and two CHA casters (Fabian, Pinnochio) so I think it’d be nice to see him check off the box for INT caster since the closest he’s gotten was Gunnie. Which, as mentioned before, different system. However, if the class guesses above are all correct somehow, having a Druid certainly wouldn’t hurt the part comp since I’m guessing they don’t have a cleric and iirc druids get like. Way more options for healing than Wizards lol.
