Boromir is Warrior, Aragorn is a Ranger
Disciple

The Wishmaster
You guys are retarded, hes literally a breton. Hes got passive oakfesh buffs
downs aragorn
Strider duh
Ranger
This - he's a D&D Ranger which despite what your trash-tier videogames would tell you, does not limit him to only using bows.
Literally Ranger. They were literally based specifically on Aragorn and only in video game tropes down the line did they become bow-exclusive, and I'm pretty sure he used them occasionally anyways. Some of thr best ways to use Ranger in more recent games are with melee/swords. And in the original DnD, when there were stat minimums to take objectively better classes, Rangers were based off him implicitly to the point they were the only class able to use "totally not" Palantirs/crystal balls.
Ranger of the north specifically
Servant (Assassin).
He is literally a Ranger
Characteristically/personality-wise, Paladin.
D&D gameplay-wise, fighter/ranger multiclass.
Nah, his personality fits Ranger, too. Rangers used to have to be Good-aligned before they just got rid of alignment restrictions.
If anything the dnd ranger class might have been designed with Aragorn in mind. Gandalf is more of a paladin.
No. He's a straight OG DnD ranger. From before the dork times, before the dribble the dumbcunt elf came and ruined everything.
Ranger obviously
Upper class
This guy fought off all the Ringwraiths with a torch. He's whatever class has a massive debuff aura for all his enemies. He's like some kinda Paladin or some shit
In tabletop that's ranger, they're basically like slightly worse fighters but get buffs against specific enemy types. Aragorn just happens to specialize in fighting all the types of ghouls they encounter in the books/movies for plot reasons. That plus him being good at tracking makes him a ranger, but you're not wrong to say he's got paladin style buffs too
That wasnt all of them
Fighter
Ranger; the OG ranger
Protagonist
Ranger
A warrior using leather armor for extra AP.
Professions: alchemy and herb gatherung, as he can be seen picking herbs for Frodo's wound.
bro should've went Blacksmithing for Narsil. Lucky his guild grinded the mats out for him and found him a blacksmith.
The enduring question really is wtf is Gandalf. He's closer to Paladin than wizard but then you have to take into account he is a literal divine being.
Celestial emissary
Priest
Maiar
He's a DMPC and you'll find him in the monster manual.
He is literally a Janny.
>has powers but not admin powers
>earns nothing
He's really just a fighter with high int. Has very basic level zero spells, can read magic text, knows what time sunrise is.
ah that was a classic

>Grey wizard
>HMMMMMM WHAT CLASS IS GANDALF GUYS?
Gandalf's an astral deva pretending to be a wizard.
Add to this that LotR wizards seem quite removed for the hermetic/academic style of DnD wizards.
“A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”
>Most popular Wizard of all time dual-wields Sword & Staff and uses magic rather rarelly
>Every poor imitation just uses exclussivelly Staff because MUH BALANCE
>Most popular Wizard of all time dual-wields Sword & Staff and uses magic rather rarelly
Merlin didn't use any swords, anon. Beyond sticking one in a stone at least.
Harry Potter is probably more popular.
Only time will tell. LOTR has staying power. HP is liable, though unlikely, to fade. The author is still alive we're not even in the second innings.
HP is already being used as a proxy in the culture wars, which is dividing the fanbase, the actors who made it mainstream, the author is already being turned into a Messiah, etc.
He's an angel
>leadership
>illumination
>divination
I'd say Priest
>He's closer to Paladin than wizard
Maybe if you're a fucking retard. He doesn't channel influence from a God. None of the magic use in LOTR is like that. There are no paladins except maybe a few elves.
Now as for whether he's a sorc or a wizard? Hard to say. Magic in Sil was often interchangably referred to as 'lore' implying that it was arcane in nature. A knowledge of the universes inner workings made them maleable to those with the power to interact with them. At the same time those powers were, more or less, inherent. While you could expand your lore and create new and exciting products with them, even unique products that can never be replicated, it's not like you could expand your capacity for changing things by expanding your repitore, at least if you were a Maiar or Valar. You had a somewhat established 'powerlevel' and stayed in your lane.
So you could see Maiar and Valar as Sorcs who draw power from themselves.
Given elves start with little to no power and CAN increase their capability purely through understanding of lore you could see them as wizards I suppose. Very few wizards ever reached Valar levels but certainly a handful of elves have done - the most notable of them being Feanor - the most important and righteous elf to ever live
>inb4 feanor hate
He's literally the only reason Morgoth is defeated. Imagine a LOTR with Morgoth instead of Sauron. That was the future the Valar had chosen for Arda until Feanor forced their hand.
i'd argue Sauron was more effective at being a dark lord. Morgoth was all about brute forcing the free peoples into submission. Sauron used their inherent weaknesses against them more effectively (because he had to, he wasnt as powerful as Morgoth)
You'd argue wrong, bro. What the fuck would the peoples of Middle Earth do against Morgoth unopposed? At least they can fight Sauron, and they did. He was defeated at the height of his power and then once more when he was weakened and attempting to resurrect himself. How do you suppose they would have taken on Morgoth at his height, bro?
They would burst into song and reshape reality to weaken him.
Yeah morgoth had a much higher peak of power but was gotten rid of fairly quickly. Sauron was a more lasting evil power, more insidious. Without destroying the ring they would have lost. If you measure the armies of men, elves and dwarfs against Sauron during LOTR. Sauron wins.
And the peoples of middle earth DID fight morgoth. They did all the time. Even before the Valar intervened
addendum: they even sieged his fortress of Angband for 400 years, with morgoth not having the strength to break it
and by "they" i mean men and elves
>Sauron was a more lasting evil power, more insidious
This is literally fanfiction.
Morgoth only lost because he fought the combined might of Valar, Maiar and Light Elves. There's no metric were Sauron is better. Sauron's big money move was imbuing his power into other things to extend his influence - that's literally something Morgoth invented, even if it did weaken his core existence in the process. Like fucking honestly.
Tell me how, without the peoples and spirits of Valinor, the people of Middle Earth could ever have defeated him or how Sauron was more powerful or more effective. Everything that weakened him was done to counter act Valar resistance.
>dude he weakened his main form and is a shitter
Even as a shitter he could fuck up anything other than Tulkas and maybe some other Valar.
>insidiousness
He corrupts the very land itself. His was an inescapable corruption that taints the world even in the Third Age, a taint which Sauron is a product of and which he uses to great effect.
Sauron destroyed the most powerful human kingdom to ever exist without using martial might.
>Maybe if you're a fucking retard. He doesn't channel influence from a God.
what part of "servant of the secret fire" did you misunderstand
What part of, he doesn't channel any power from God do you not understand? Also the Fire and Eru are specifically different things. Eru found the fire in the void.
At no stage does anything Gandalf does rely on Eru. He has his own power, and were circumstances different he may have even become a Dark Lord. He had no divine favour. Frodo got some and frankly that fucks the entire setting up so I don't want to talk about it but Frodo is the only Paladin in the Third Age.
>literal wizard
BUT WHAT CLASS IS HE GUIYSS?
you are inferior minded and think u had a point
eldritch knight
Celestial Wizard/Fighter/Cleric
Gandalf is something like a summoner/druid/fighter hybrid.
He's a wizard but popular culture has meme'd wizards into shiney pewpew laser men
>not all those who wander are lost
Ranger
Same as this guy, original old school melee ranger.
YER A STEWARD
eh, by the end, John Snow is in the top 3 best fighters of all time in his setting, not that anyone of note even knows it.
he's some sort of sword prodigy class.
Black Knight
Ranger start of the story, Paladin end of the story.
in what way is he a fuckin paladin?
Embodies all the chivarlic values
looks like a high level ranger to me, maybe a level 1 paladin
once you get full plate...
S O V L
my king
>You will never live under a benelovent king instead of a globohomo who hates everyone beneath them.
its up to you to change that
Thats literally just a ranger when they decide to put armour on. You idiot.
He multiclassed to Paladin after reforging Narsil
I kneel, my liege
>Become a king
>Put on fancy clothes
>You're a paladin now
that's not how DND works, and you are misunderstanding.
he took levels in Paladin near the end, or in the very least, Fighter.
he still has his Ranger levels.
->
D&D gameplay-wise, fighter/ranger multiclass.
maybe a 1e paladin
all my d&d is from 3.5
he is a paladin when he gives up his old life and finally accepts his kingship, that is literally the arc of his character
Wasn't the D&D ranger literally based on him? A hybrid warrior good at traveling and tracking and strong against specific monsters he hunts?
Yes. In DnD before gays and women came along to ruin it, the ranger was EXPLICITLY aragorn expy.
Aragorn, farmer and boromir all fit neatly into DnD 'ranger'.
Dual class, low ranger/high fighter.
According to WotC: noble.

That's their organisation, they are not all going to be the same class.
"Lonely men are we, Rangers of the wild, hunters - but hunters ever of the servants of the Enemy, for they are found in many places, not in Mordor only."
—Aragorn
Exactly. You need some more skills in there to function.
Do you think the guy that runs bar at the Thieves Guild house has levels in rogue only?

Not even female. Fujos are honorary trannies.
He's a force of nature and would not have PC levels.
Bombadils lvl.??? bard.

low level thief
Villagers

Ranger, duh.
Paladin with dips into ranger to get pussy.
He is any class the plot decides
Why didn't he dodge roll?
Is it better to have wounded Melkor permanently or to 1v1 a balrog?
prob balrog because it was Gothmog, Captain of the balrogs. Otherwise i'd say wounding melkor
What class is he? Why is he so fucking OP
Why was he the ONLY elf to decide to reincarnate and keep up the good work?
Luthien
She just came back from the dead, not the same as actual reincarnation.
Pure fighter. He is like the only Tolkien elf to have ever actually put thousands of years of life into levelling fighter.
disagree. elfs are all paladins.
Some are, yeah. He would be, yeah. Good luck getting that across.
>tfw they will never make movies as good as the lord of the rings ever again
the last time i was kind of excited to go to the movie theater was for dune and i left thinking yeah its okay i guess. it's been 20 years since i left a theater genuinely impressed by a film.
what ever class he is, he needs to reroll
You got the webm where he's jumping on falling debris?
Elves don't weigh enough to sink when standing on snow. why is the debris thing so ridiculous to people?
>AAAIIEEE HELP ME LEGOLAS
I know this webm is somehow supposed to make the movies look bad but honestly it just impresses me that there was no CGI used for this shot. No the light shafts weren't added in they were able to make them look that way by utilizing the thing layer of smoke being used.
yeah that guy nocks and draws arrows pretty fast
There's a bow and arrow guy on YouTube who's gone through medieval tapestries and ahit and the existing manuals of arms from that era to recreate REAL bow shooting and you can get that fast with a proper bow and not the toy that gay hollywierd cunt is using.
don't reply to me again, idiot
Cry more, gay.
>I know this webm is somehow supposed to make the movies look bad
It looks great. The only thing wrong with it is that Aragorn is useless on the side, but for first time watching no one noticed it in the middle of the action and were too busy soifacing at Legolas.
Yeah it looks a little goofy in isolation but most things do.
Just imagine the comparable scene in the Hobbit movies.
>shoots every Orc except the one that's holding down Aragorn
wtf Legolas
aragorn is fiiiiiine, better compete with the dwarf
>men and elves dying left and right
>the fucking wall explodes
>countless lives are in danger
>those two cunts just keep playing their stupid game
Were Legolas and Gimli sociopaths bred for war?
Ranger
Are class changes allowed?
Like I identify as a different class but I'm not really
>AAIIIIIIIIEEEEEE A HECKIN BORKERINO MORGOTH SAMA HEELLLLPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sauron never had the makings of a varsity maiar
Who isthe main character of Lotr?
Me.
Sam according to Tolkien, but he was probably trolling at people answering the annoying question, mixed with his fetish for what he saw as le-salt-of-the-earth types.
He said that to a guy who was literally named Gamgee, he admitted to being deeply shook by it
Frodo
Sam motherfucking Gamgee.
He is a warrior skilled with sword and bow and has extensive woodland survival skills.
So literally a ranger.
How is this even a question?
He's a classic Ranger. From the Player's Handbook of ADnD (1978):
>Rangers are a sub-class of fighter who are adept at woodcraft, tracking, scouting, and infiltration and spying. All rangers must be of good alignment (q.v.), although they can be lawful, chaotic, or neutral otherwise.

He’s an elf fucker.
>great work if you can get it
I hate dnd morons so much its unreal, dont you gays have some wheelchair accessible dungeon to loot?
In D&D terms, Aragorn is a level 6 Fighter at best.
He's a half elf that's been rangering for 60+ years as an adult. He's got 12 levels in pure DnD 1 ranger. Because that's what that class was based upon. Aragorn.
Was he a half elf? I thought his long lifespan was due to his lineage but still being from the race if 'men'
Aragorn and elrond are related.
The half elves were given a choice, elfdom or mankind. The numenoreans choose man, elrond and his folk chose elfkind.
So they got the grace and timelessness of the elves. The numenoreans got the strength and vivacity of Man.
But they are all still half elves.
Legolas is like, the only actual elf in the LotR books, galadriel and cerebrimbor too..
>cerebrimbor
Celeborn. The other guy is the smith who created the rings.
.bah. he was barely in the hobbit so I pretty much forget him.
But yes for actual characters we see lots of, only legolas is an elf. And he's a dirty hippy woods elf at that. Not even a proper elf elf. They've already all fucked off to valinor? By the time of hobbit and LotR
>Celeborn
You mean Teleporno
>Teleporno
Next you'll be telling me there's an elf called Cumbrain
just to be a nitpicking gay. Círdan the shipwright was also full elven and he was in the books
So yeah. There aren't actually a lot of elves in the books at all. Every actual elf has pretty much buggered off to sleep eat and fuck Island.
Which you gotta admit, seems like a pretty great place to go to.
Beats 'let's slaughter orcs and goblins fruitlessly for ANOTHER thousand odd years or so only for the fuckers to STILL not die' country.
Anon, a level 12 can go toe to toe with a fire giant. You have no idea of the power scales of D&D.
He's a Lawful Good Ranger and Fighter multiclass.
and he has a gift giving him a bonus to his charisma modifier.
He uses a bow, but most of the time he uses a sword, especially during open field battles, so I would say that ranger is like his secondary class, and he mains fighter.
he is the reason ranger class exists bro wtf are you talking about?
Ranger is a sub-class of fighter dip ass
D&D Ranger is still nothing like Aragorn. Does Aragon have an animal companion? Does Aragorn perform nature magic?
D&D Ranger isn't a direct 1:1 replica of LOTR Aragorn but that doesn't mean he isn't the origin of it
And if you stop looking at 3e and beyond and look at the original ranger you'd realize it's significantly closer to him than anything else. Hell back in 2e Ranger was just a fighter with some slightly supernatural ability in nature and only ever got magic at like 15th level, with 1st level priest spells. The animal companion and early spells is taking the concept of Aragorn (and a few other characters, drawing on stories that originated from d&d among others) and making it more magical because D&D is immensely more in your face with magic than LotR is. This is also why anyone who says Gandalf wasn't a wizard is a fucking retard who doesn't get this too
That isn't DnD ranger. That's RA SALVATORE'S OC DONUT STILL assfuckening of ranger class into pure shit gayry Mary Sue retardation.
Aragorn is what the Ranger class was even created for.
Just because some gay came along years later and tried to ruin it in their cocklust for cringey emo shit doesn't change reality, you revisionist assclown.
Describe the EEnE cast in terms of D&D classes.

>Sarah - Barbarian
>Jimmy - Bard / Cleric

>Kevin - A fighter without bike, Artificer with bike
>Nazz - Druid
No other answers are acceptable.
I was thinking Nazz and Jimmy would be swapped but I see what you mean
>Johnny
>Monk
Strangely accurate
Rolph is some sort of Cleric, Lawful Evil.
Since he can kill endlessly he's probably a barb who regains health when he kills shit
fuck these movies are so good. Been a while since i watched them. WIll definitely watch them this week
I make sure to watch the Extended Edition almost every year. I genuinelly think they're the greatest movies ever filmed.
Cant really think of a movie that comes close to it tbh
>desu
wtf i didnt type that
Ranger who respects into the Bard class at the end of the movie.
King, Lord, Leader type classes generally have some form of Inspire abilities.
What class is he?
Evil aligned Cleric with some necromancy spells. Maybe dualled into fighter.
Best LOTR game coming through
Battle for middle earth for me but your pick is solid too
TW Med 2 Divide and Conquer for me, and Shadow of War, I maintain that this is a great game even if the LotR aspect of it is utterly borked.
Gandalf only ever uses magic against magic/magical creatures. He uses magic against the nazguls whilst they are attacking the fleeing gondorians. Magic against the balrog, magic against saruman etc.
you never see him use it against orcs, goblins, trolls or urukai
No he used magic against orcs in both Hobbit and LOTR, he strikes them dead with lightning
Sorry, i never read past the tom bombadil part of the first book so i dont know
I'm glad Gandalf isn't shown doing 'magic' as such in LOTR. I find these scenes way more powerful than some awful over the top CGI wizard battle. The whole scene on Caradhras is one my favourites, the idea that Saruman is dozens of miles away coaxing a giant mountain to collapse on intruders while Gandalf tries to talk it down is sick
agreed. Makes sense when you think about it. He was sent as an emissary by the valar to teach and guide the people of middle earth to defeat Sauron. Not to go and do it themselves (which saruman eventually tried to do). Which is why in my headcanon Gandalf only uses magic against forces that aren't inherent to Middle earth. Like using cheats to kill cheaters
I know Christopher Lee wanted to play Gandalf but holy shit he is perfect for Saruman. The voice, the looks. Perfect Saruman.
I miss him :/
Tolkien himself promised him the role if it was ever made into a movie, but I agree, he was just too perfect as Saruman. Plus he had that reputation of playing intimidating villains, even though he was tired of being typecast and wanted the change of playing a beloved character like Gandalf. There was also the issue of his age, as he was 17 years older than McKellan and the role of Gandalf was much more physically demanding.
Im sure i would be saying the opposite if he portrayed Gandalf instead. He would have done a good job if his age allowed it
I KNOW WHICH IS MY FATE

imagine Christopher fucking Lee, whom you already deeply admired for his previous roles, roll up to your studio and give you 5 paragraphs on how excited he is to play Gandalf and you have to go "weeeeeellll"

noble warrior
Early dexterity focus, switches up to a knight character after legolas joins the party, can’t have two speedy archery guys on the same party.
So who were able to resist the power of the ring in their possession? Bombadil and Sam?
Frodo technically tried to give the ring up to Galadriel and Gandalf. So he should also be included in that list
Bilbo left the ring to Frodo willingly as well. Bombadil, Sam, Frodo and Bilbo.
Sam is basically the only person to ever give it up without having to be coerced or demanded, he gave it up effortlessly.
its because all the Ring could offer him was outlandish impossible and dumb shit like to be the worlds most powerful Gardner, his dreams were that small, which was his ultimate strength, all he wanted was to take his friend back home, and that determination was stronger than all the fabled doomed heros of old.
>Bombadil
Can you call it resisting when the ring didn't even affect him in any way?
The entire ranger archetype came from him, you fucking tell me. This is like asking what Conan is.
Conan is Fighter/Thief
yeah "the barbarian" is just his middle and last name, duh
Perhaps, if barbarian didn't exist due to him. Instead he's a barbarian with notably high wisdom and charisma.
Book Conan spends most of his time either sneaking around taking out people from behind or running away from trouble, or fighting as a mercenary, wearing heavy armor, as part of an organized military unit. Later in life he spends most of his time as some flavour of top-level leader, like a steppe nomad khan, a pirate captain, a general, or even a king. He's intelligent and has enough self-control to not do stupid things unless he has no other choice.
Only movie Conan really fits the popular barbarian archetype.
this, he's "Barbarian" in linege, not in class, he's far more a Rogue+Fighter.
>Only movie Conan really fits the popular barbarian archetype
It really doesn't, the movie shows him being a thief and sneaking around most of the time, as well as wearing heavy armor sometimes. He's also not shown to be dumb or uneducated at all.
He's shown to be very uneducated in the movie, he spends his time up to adulthood as a slave pushing a wheel or fighting. You can say what you want about that not meaning that he's dumb but he's definitely uneducated. So is book Conan until he gets fairly old, and even then it's not clear how he manages to be so well-informed beyond just being very observant and attentive to important matters.
They show him being educated in the beginning of the movie
Doesn't the movie show him getting teached later after he becomes a gladiator and starts getting some prestige? It's been a while since I watched it.
>So is book Conan until he gets fairly old
The stories make a frequent point of him being stubborn and bull-headed but pretty intelligent and well-informed. garden gnomeels of Gwalhur takes place when he's pretty young and it makes a point to mention that he's better at linguistics and knows more languages than almost anybody else in the world because of how well-traveled and personable he is. He's frequently shown being able to figure out deception and detect tricks and deceit when he needs to. In Shadows of Zamboula, he figures out that the queen-consort is lying to him about who she was pretty much immediately and out-swindles everybody by getting away with the magic ring when everybody underestimates him as a dim-witted barbarian.
Conan in the books taught me the unbridled power of not just acting dumb, but making sure others perceive you as such, but only when it lends to you some sort of leverage or power.
Not really. D&D has ever been designed by fucking retards. E1? Too stupid for wargames. More modern editions? Ripped off other fiction without understanding it. Current WOTC? Where do I even start?
Conan was a barbarian, yes, but the D&D and Pathfinder archetypes are fucking retarded and assume you've never read the actual Conan the Cimmerian stories from Robert E Howard. The barbarous nations aren't characterised by ignorance or simplicity but harsh unflinching pragmatism. The reason they become an issue for society is that, when lead by someone with ambition or when it becomes more productive to predate their neighbors than cultivate their own isolated lands, they burst out with more discipline than the civilised worlds and are in no means limited intellectually. They voraciously absorb the techniques and technology in pursuit of total victory and in finding that victory they become weight down by that and settle into a civilization of their own - rinse and repeat.
Conan himself is extremely intelligent as well as being confident and competent. And while there's a lot of noble savage cope from Howard he admits that the barbarian is as or more chained to preconceptions as a civil man is, it's just that these preconceptions are a little more utilitarian and superstitious than rigid and restrictive. Neither the civil man or the barbarian can advance while holding on to those precepts but the Barbarian, being confronted with the vastness of the world, has a harder time holding on to his than a civil man being confronted with the savagery of nature which he can discount and gate away with town walls.
D&D and Pathfinder Barbs are just unga bungas. Even the hardiest mountain folk were given more consideration in Howard's work than the smartest D&D barbarians. How dare you compare them positively.

Aragorn is a moron now.
Also he's a fucking ranger. Literally part of a group called Rangers of the North.
lol Wizards of the Coast doesn't get to dictate the grander canon of LoTR.
then again, who really does now that the whole franchise is getting whored out.
If I have to look at ratqueen RoP's Galadriel every time I search the character, you deal with moron Aragorn.
God, I fucking hate Simon Tolkien.

Ranger and Fighter were both based on him. Fighter was also based on Conan, who later became the basis for the barbarian
He abandoned the warrior class to become a ranger for majestic elf pussy. As would I.
Remember Aragorn is the descendant of Elrond's brother, so he's commiting incest plowing that elven hole.
literally every single human on the planet is related if you go back far enough. Elros is like 20 generations removed from aragorn
Still incest.
