The character creation process in Dungeons & Dragons is entirely customizable based on how you want each character. While it may not make the greatest sense, you are entirely free to create a gnome barbarian to lead your team into battle. Whatever you want to make, you can do so by combining races and classes. Here are some of the best combinations we have witnessed in Dungeons & Dragons (5 th Edition). Note: while these are great combinations, this topic is entirely subjective. You should make whatever race and class character you want to have the most fun while playing. Dragonborn Paladin Image via D&D Beyond
