D&D Character Classes Of The Witcher Characters
The fantasy Netflix series The Witcher brings to mind many wonderful elements of Dungeons and Dragons, with characters reflecting specific classes.

Netflix’s wildly popular The Witcher series based on the game series by CD Projekt Red of the same name, in turn, based on a series of books by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski has a pretty wide cast of characters with different personalities and abilities. Since this series is a fantasy series, after all, it only makes sense that we should file the characters into their respective Dungeons And Dragons (D&D) classes.
While at first glance it seems like a lot of the characters fall into the classes of sorcerer or fighter, not everyone is so easy to nail down since they have such varying abilities, especially someone like Geralt or Ciri who’s either been through the mutations that are used to give a witcher their abilities or are naturally gifted.
10 Geralt – Fighter/Blood Hunter
Geralt is a strange mixture of a fighter and a blood hunter. Since he’s well-versed in the skills needed to be an accomplished swordsman but isn’t quite as tanky as a barbarian, that’s where we get the fighter part of his personality. He also doesn’t quite have the berserker rage type of state that would allow for him to be a barbarian either.
The blood hunter part comes from the idea that while he didn’t quite partake in dark knowledge to gain the abilities that he has command of, he still knows enough about things that other people don’t quite have the gall to learn that he’s able to use them to his advantage effectively. Aside from that, one could say that the mutations he underwent at Kaer Morhen are enough to make him the subject of the dark transformation that the blood hunter undertakes, especially since he’s shunned by normal people as unnatural.
9 Ciri – Fighter
While we don’t really see Ciri in too much combat at the start, we can rest assured that she’ll be more than a capable fighter as the series progresses. In the games, her fighting style is very similar to that of Geralt’s, but we can also add in the fact that she has the ability to jump between universes. This can be used to her advantage since she’s frequently doing her best to evade capture, and often does her best to remain hidden from the various groups that are pursuing her.
Since she hasn’t undergone the mutations that Geralt has, she’s probably not a candidate for the blood hunter class. In fact, she’s much more of a mixture of the fighter class thanks to her time spent at Kaer Morhen and the Rogue class, but mostly out of necessity thanks to her situations.
8 Jaskier (Dandelion) – Bard
Hmmm… Plays a lute, annoys anyone trying to play the campaign seriously in a metaphorical sense (Geralt), is pretty vain and really doesn’t provide much to the campaign. Most definitely a bard. No, that’s merely a small jab. Bards and by extension Jaskier, are wonderful.
Aside from the fact that “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher” is written as a blues which really makes no sense since the universe of The Witcher most definitely doesn’t have the cultural context that would allow blues music to arise if the music wasn’t being written to be catchy, which makes it extremely immersion-breaking, but that’s just a personal gripe. Definitely a bard.
7 Yennefer – Sorcerer
Yennefer is surprisingly enough a sorcerer and not a wizard despite the nature of her training. While usually studying magic in a school like Aretuza would make someone a wizard since in DnD terms it’s usually used to describe someone who’s able to use magic thanks to their knowledge of it gained from study, she’s a quarter elvish.
That means that since Elves are naturally magical and were the ruling class before teaching magic to the humans after the Conjunction Of The Spheres, Yennefer inherited a lot of her natural magical ability from a bloodline, thus rendering her a sorceress.
6 Triss – Wizard
Triss is most definitely a wizard, which is fine considering that’s not a gender-specific term. She’s not really given us any type of reason to assume that her heritage is anything more than human, which would mean that her power isn’t derived from any sort of bloodline issues or anything like that.
She also doesn’t have any kind of gift as far as we can tell, despite the fact that not much is known about her former magical training, other than the fact that it’s pretty certain she didn’t go to Aretuza as Yennefer did. Given her abilities though, it doesn’t really matter too much that she didn’t.
5 Stregobor – Wizard
Stregobor is probably the wizardy of all the wizards in the series. Not only does he resemble most of the wizards that exist in the popular imagination of the culture, but he’s the type of person who takes his magical knowledge just a little bit too seriously.
Well, that might not be entirely fair. When Stregobor was rounding up and killing all of the women who were born under the black sun, he also basically stole Refri’s future throne from her and contributed to a really traumatic assault that Renfri underwent. Whether Renfri was really cursed or not is kind of up to the viewer, but either way, Stregobor is a wizard.
4 Renfri – Rogue/Barbarian
Renfri is probably the closest thing that The Witcher has to a true Rogue, and perhaps the closest thing that it has to a Barbarian too. While Refri is obviously sneaky, considering she’s able to hide from Stregobor so well that he calls in Geralt for assistance in finding her, it’s also clear that she’s driven purely by the rage she holds against Stregobor for stealing her future life from her.
This is ultimately her downfall, as evidenced in the “Butcher Of Blaviken” incident when Geralt gives her the option to leave and she goes into a fit of rage in the fight for her life against him.
3 Tissaia – Wizard
Tissaia De Vries is a wizard who plays a big part in both the council and in the education of new candidates for sorcery at Aretuza. In fact, Tissaia De Vries, while being a ludicrously harsh teacher, is responsible for pulling Yennefer of Vengerberg out of her life of abuse at the hands of her family, and molding her into the person she becomes later in the series.
While her methods might not always be the greatest, she is indeed a great wizard. With her help at The Battle of Kaer Morhen, we truly see how powerful a wizard she is.
2 Calanthe – Barbarian
Calanthe is surprisingly enough a Barbarian. Although she functions more or less passably in the context of high society, she’d much rather be on the battlefield, either fighting for what she believes in or dying a glorious death in war.
While we haven’t really seen her fight other than when Ciri’s parents announced their engagement for the first time, it’s safe to say that they don’t call her “The Lioness Of Cintra” for no reason.
1 Mousesack – Druid
Mousesack is completely unsurprisingly in contrast to Calanthe a druid since it’s spelled out explicitly in the show that he is one. In DnD, a druid is described as one who follows the old religion and is able to commune with animals and nature, resembling something like a real-life shaman as opposed to a druid, which is specifically a sect of Celtic shaman.
While he doesn’t really show much of this part of his nature in the series while he’s busy playing advisor to Queen Calanthe, the fact that it’s mentioned is enough to know that he’s perfectly at home in his niche as a druid.
