Doom Patrol is at its heart a series about a group of wayward misfits who are all broken in some way, and who are called to adventure in a battle between good and evil, similar to a Dungeons & Dragons adventuring party. With such a complex array of personalities, abilities and rich backstories, the main members of the Doom Patrol would fit nicely into a D&D campaign.

This is especially true considering how frequently they stumble and fail due to the whims of fate (i.e., the dice) and their own inadequacies (i.e., bad player decisions). Despite these stumbling blocks, the members of the Doom Patrol demonstrate great bravery and are true heroes at heart. Whether by mechanics or flavor, there’s one class that suits each character best.

Negative Man: Warlock

Larry Trainor could potentially be a Monk, with the Negative Spirit representing the Empty Body feature which allows Monks to cast the Astral Projection spell. Additionally with the Way of the Astral Self Monk subclass, players can manifest a spirit to attack with.

However, story-wise he feels more in-line with a Warlock. Whereas other classes get their abilities from training or faith or natural power, warlocks get their power from a pact with an otherworldly entity, which could describe Larry’s relationship with the Negative Spirit. Also similar to Negative Man, Warlocks at times are in conflict with their patron, which can make for some interesting role-playing drama at the table. While there isn't much mechanically about warlock that jives with Larry's schtick, short of a homebrew class, Warlock is what works best for him flavor-wise.

Cyborg: Paladin

In one of the show's departures from Doom Patrol comics, Cyborg finds himself in the employ of the Doom Patrol. One could argue that with his tech-based abilities, Cyborg should be placed as an Artificer. However, Victor Stone himself is not intelligent enough to manufacture his own upgrades. In fact, he is reliant on his father’s expertise and STAR Industries for such things, and there are even plots involving his father shutting down and cutting him off with his own tech.

With Cyborg being the most heroic member of the Doom Patrol, the Paladin class seems a nice fit. Victor is charismatic, motivated to do the right thing by an internal moral code, can hit hard and get hit hard, and throws out some specialty moves with his sonic arm cannon. On top of all this, Cyborg is the member that the rest of the team seems to rally around, which describes Paladins mechanically and spiritually.

Crazy Jane: Sorcerer

Jane’s abilities seem to be innate in the same way they are for a Sorcerer. And her ability to switch alters, each with their own super power, makes her an unpredictable Swiss Army knife of sorts. Her erratic, out of control tendencies helps her fit nicely as a Wild Soul Sorcerer, a subclass with which a roll of the dice could cause anything from large explosions to harmless effects such as growing a beard of feathers, and everything in between.

The Sorcerer spell list allows for, among other things, the ability to teleport over long distances, manipulate people mentally, shoot fire, and summon daggers, all things Jane is capable of doing with her different alters such as Flit, Dr. Harrison, Flaming Katy and Silver Tongue.

Robotman: Barbarian

Cliff Steele, former race car driver now housed as a brain inside a robotic body, could be described as a foul-mouthed, self-indulgent malcontent. With his lack of filter and tact, he is one of the most quotable members of Doom Patrol. He approaches problems either with apathy or reckless abandon. His anger with Niles Caulder, the world at large, and himself, leads him mostly toward a Barbarian mindset.

Barbarians are fueled by their rage, and typically are the first to run headlong into battle with little regard for their own safety, an approach Cliff usually employs as his robotic body can afford him. A key mechanic of what Cliff is able to do is being impervious to damage, which the Barbarian does with its rage feature, becoming resistant to physical damage while in a rage. With Barbarian, players can play as the shouting, cursing, physically resilient Robotman.

Elasti-Girl: Bard

In terms of her ability, Rita Farr is hard to place. There’s no particular class in D&D that specializes in stretching arms and enlarging, but there are spells like Enlarge/Reduce that can replicate what she does in the season 3 finale. In terms of personality and profession, Rita Farr fits easily into the role of Bard.

A Bard affects things through their artistic performance, which Rita is adept at, being an actress. Her artistic talents really got to shine in the latest season, as she becomes part of the Sisterhood of Dada, which in the TV series is reimagined as a bohemian, counter-culture, metahuman, performance-art troupe. Additionally, with the Magical Secrets feature, Bards can gain access to spells such as Enlarge/Reduce, despite them not being on the Bard spell list. With her can-do attitude and eagerness to do right, Rita inspires her teammates to do better, which is at the very core of the Bard class.
