Dungeons and Dragons Classes and Real Life Analogs

Since I could not find one anywhere using a Google search, I decided to create a table correlating the various Dungeons and Dragons classes to real life analogs. Obviously, role playing games are fiction. But we all wear a mask. And behind yours, who knows what one might find!



Class: Analogs
Barbarian: Technological obfuscationist Anger disorder sufferer Tribalist Non-professional
Bard: Musician Storyteller Artist Negotiator
Cleric: Cleric Priest Theologian Cultural administrator
Druid: Life scientist Naturalist Veternarian Environmentalist
Fighter: Soldier Determined individual Right-thinker Team player
Wizard: Professor Wonk Psychic / Fortune Teller Scientist
Monk/Mystic: Minimalist Forward-thinker Truth-seeker Idealist
Paladin: Do-gooder Altruist Loyalist Dogmatist
Ranger: Explorer Loner Nature-lover Keen observer
Sorcerer: Politician Popularist Hereditarian Position-seeker
Rogue: Anarchist Rebel Criminal Privatist
Warlock: Magician Cat person Moral relativist Intellectual peacekeeper


So, the idea here is to categorize all sorts of fictitious characters and to attempt to relate them to real world psychology.
