What's the best class/character archetype for an "all-(class) party?"
All-wizard is a classic.
I think all-rogue would be fun.
What do y'all think?
A party of barbarians is super funny.
>Nobody can read
>No magic
>Everything can be solved by varying levels of violence
>Absolutely insufferable and obnoxious outside of battle
>Well-oiled murder machine in battle with a lot of showboating, hooting and hollering
>Party wipes happen instead of single character deaths because stubborn
All bard party.
You're a boy band out on an adventure to fuck the entire world.
Warlock or bard, they are really flexible.

All Fighter party.
In a campaign designed for an All Rogue one.

>Party shows up to play a gig.
>Find the show is already over.
>Venue is trashed, panties everywhere, not a girl in sight.
>All-Elf band loads their last bit of gear into their wagon.
>"Smell ya later, nerds."
And thus a rivalry is born. Party follows the elves around, playing shows, trying to one-up each other and fuck the towns population first.
I'd play that.

im DMing pathfinder rise of the runelords with an all rouge party(ninjas too), its pretty cool.
They like to sneak around and execute deadly ambushes with all dat sneak attack dice
>>46368446
What about the whole party following one theme?
My party did that once with everyone choosing the ''light/holy'' archetypes and once with the ''dark/edgy'' archetypes.
All light party: UDL warlock, Light paladin, Sun monk, Light domain Cleric, Favoured soul with light domain, abjurer wizard.
Edgy party: Spiky barbarian dwarf, shadow-monk, shadow-sorc, vengeance pally,mastermind rogue, necromancer.
>>46368446
Something similar is in order.
All brawler party.
The whole party gets the grappler and tavern brawler feat at lvl 1.
This turned out hilariously broken after we did a prison escape and tied up all the guards, throwing them into our old cell.
>>46368446
All paladins.
>>46368446
I prefer all-[theme] party instead of all-[class]. The kind of thing that gives the party some leg room in terms of class, but still unites them under some banner. All pirates, all followers of a certain god, all inventors, all students of a magical academy, all members of a forest tribe/druidic sect, all escaped convicts, etc. etc.
All Bard metalocalypse is the only way
What would a thief/mage hybrid be called?
>>46368517
All-barbarian is great. It's just a wall of meat storming through dungeons and beating the shit out of each and every plot hook.

Arcane Trickster.
>>46368446
All clerics of different gods.
>>46370288
For years, I've wanted to play in a game where the PCs are a band on tour.
>>46372654
Deus vult!
i dunno about the later editions but 3.0 and 3.5 i think i would have to say a party of all clerics would be the most over powered of the all one class partys.
though i would say not the most fun to play.

I really do think all Witches can work really well, or at least be very entertaining.

All druid
How has no one mentioned all-monk party? You could even add a power ranger / super sentai theme to all the monks.
All rogues Ocean's Eleven campaign.
All druids campaign focusing on destroying civilization.
All monks goofy kung-fu movie-esque campaign.

>A great master had two apprentices.
>One, a great warrior, the other, a wise sage.
>The warrior demanded to take over the dojo upon the master's death, claiming he was the greatest.
>The master put his two apprentices to the test to see who deserved the dojo.
>The sage outwitted the warrior, and won the challenge.
>Long after the master's passing, the warrior returns and murders the sage, driving his students into exile.
>Students must train mind and body to challenge the warrior, put the sage to rest, and restore balance to the ki of the dojo.
It'll be a bit like TMNT, but without turtles and rats and New York.
Dammit. Now I want to run this.

Just for you Two: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20013482/
Doesn't come up very often but all magus/spellsword can be pretty fun. A bunch of ANCIENT MYSTICAL WARRIORS OF PROUD ANCIENT TRADITIONS all trying to one up each other and giving their attack-spell combinations ridiculous names.
>>46368446

Best theme one my group did was militant church members comprising of a half human/angel inquisitor, centaur cavalier of the church, orc cleric, and warforged paladin. We also had a few dmpcs thrown in for flavor.

All Techpriest Party. Praise the Omnissiah!
>>46382416
I mean the military orders in general, including all the big shots as well as relative obscurities like the Order of Aviz. Gygax's cleric was meant to be and explicitly described as a guy from one of the crusading orders, inexplicably crossed with Van Helsing. But regardless of the confused power-set, you've got a fairly coherent idea (crusader) that has since sludged into "god-loving magic-user", leaving a void that people desperately try to plug with whatever's closest to hand. So the Paladin gets reworked from its (very obviously secular) origins into a churchman.

All druid party is far more terrifying with their giant bear army. Most summoning additional bears, one casting enlarge animal on the group, and another summoning storms or something all while they themselves are also bears

This story immediately came to mind as I was reading.
>>46375091
I'd play it.
>>46368525
>Everyone gives eachother bardic inspiration
>>46380192
Sounds like Fairy Tail and/or Seven Deadly Sins. I'd play it.
>>46368525
I was THIS close to getting my fellow players to play an group of nothing but halfling bards as traveling performers in an up-coming Curse of Strahd game. If I had kept badgering one player, I could have pulled it off... to this day, I curse my lack of willingness to ruin a friendship for the sake of a theme.

All slav party.
Goal of getting enough money to buy new tracksuits, flatcaps, and gold chains.
Or an all psyker party.
First one to perils wins.
I was once in a campaign where we played a group of Dwarven brothers. I couldnt convince one of the players to be a dwarf but he chose shardmind instead and became our walking insurance policy. We were all waiting for him to die so we could harvest him afterward.
It was really fun being a group of dwarves.

I appreciate the all-paladin party. Five knights of disparate faiths and practices overcoming the boundaries of differing dogma for the cause of righteousness.
The all Warlord (a la Path of War) party would also be pretty cool, if everyone specialized primarily in a different Discipline and each member teaching some of the tricks of their main Discipline to the others.
