Gimli is a Fighter/Barbarian multiclass, Merry & Pippin are Rogues, Sam is a Paladin, Frodo's a Warlock, Boromir? Probably Fighter too.

Gandalf is mostly Fighter, with a couple of levels dipped into Cleric, and he took the Inspiring Leader feat.

It's not hard to be better than Gygax was, but avoiding his harms is not enough if we want to make #D&D a game that can be for everyone: we must oppose such harms, and welcome all equally to our table. The invitation is open so, in more ways than one, come join the party! 3/3
