Best Classes for Harengons
5. Wizard
Primary Ability Score – Intelligence
Secondary Ability Scores – Constitution, Dexterity
Spellcasting Ability – Intelligence
Armor Proficiencies – None
Weapons Proficiencies – Light crossbows, Quarterstaffs, Slings, Darts, Daggers
Why the Wizard?
Harengon Wizards should increase Intelligence by +2 and Constitution by +1.
Harengon poses simple yet effective skills that suit the playstyle of a Wizard well.
Hare-Trigger allows you to add your proficiency bonus to your initiative rolls, allowing you to get your best spells onto the field as quickly as possible.
Lucky Footwerk protects against Dexterity saves, which can cause a lot of damage, and Rabbit Hop lets you jump out of dangerous situations without provoking opportunity attacks.
Recommended Wizard Arcane Traditions

- School of Abjuration
- School of Enchantment
4. Rogue
Primary Ability Score – Dexterity
Secondary Ability Scores – Constitution, Intelligence (For Arcane Tricksters)
Armor Proficiencies – Light
Weapons Proficiencies – Simple, Shortswords, Rapiers, Longswords, Hand Crossbows
Why the Rogue?
Harengon Rogues should increase Dexterity by +2 and Constitution by +1.
Hare-Trigger is suitable for Rogues, and for the same reason, it’s good for Wizards: it allows them to unleash their abilities before enemies have a chance to react.
Note: Hare-Trigger combined with Reliable Talent will raise your initiative rolls above the average of most creatures.
Rabbit Hop will act as your “get out of jail” card whenever situations seem unfavorable.
Recommended Rogue Archetypes
- Arcane Trickster
- Scout
- Swashbuckler
3. Druid
Primary Ability Score – Wisdom
Secondary Ability Scores – Constitution, Dexterity
Spellcasting Ability – Wisdom
Armor Proficiencies – Light, Medium, Shields (Druids won’t use shields or wear armor made from metal)
Weapons Proficiencies – Spears, Slings, Sickles, Scimitars, Quarterstaffs, Maces, Javelins, Darts, Daggers, Clubs
Why the Druid?
Harengon Druids should increase Wisdom by +2 and Constitution/Dexterity by +1.
Druids must get their control spells and buffs out as soon as possible, which hare-Trigger helps them achieve.
Lucky Footwork gives some protection against Dexterity saves, especially against agile enemies, but if they scare you, then you can also hop away with Rabbit Hop.
Note: It’s unclear if the Harengon’s abilities work in Wild Shape, so if your DM allows it, you could also try building a Circle of the Moon Druid.
Recommended Druid Circles
- Dreams
- Stars
- Land
2. Bard
Primary Ability Score – Charisma
Secondary Ability Scores – Constitution, Dexterity
Spellcasting Ability – Charisma
Armor Proficiencies – Light
Weapons Proficiencies – Simple, Shortswords, Rapiers, Longswords, Hand Crossbow
Why the Bard?
Harengon Bards should increase Charisma by +2 and Constitution/Dexterity by +1.
You can think of Bards as more useful Druids, which makes it imperative that you get your spells out as soon as possible using Hare-Trigger.
Rabbit Hop should be used to get you out of trouble or to keep space between you and enemies, while Lucky Footwork protects you against Dexterity saves, which Bards are pretty bad at.
Recommended Bard Colleges
- Eloquence
- Lore
1. Cleric
Primary Ability Score – Wisdom
Secondary Ability Scores – Constitution
Spellcasting Ability – Wisdom
Armor Proficiencies – Light, Medium, Shields
Weapons Proficiencies – Simple
Why the Cleric?
Harengon Clerics should increase Wisdom by +2 and Constitution/Dexterity by +1.
Clerics probably possess some of the most broken spells in D&D (Spirit Guardians and Bless), so if you plan on playing a Harengon Cleric, you need to use Hare-Trigger.
Lucky Footwork gives you more than enough protection against Dexterity save, and Rabbit Hop lets you jump in or out of combat as you like.
Harengon works for both front-line and spellcasting Clerics. They just have slightly different playstyles regarding why and when they use particular abilities.
Recommended Cleric Divine Domain
- Forge
- Light
- Order
- Twilight
Final Thoughts
Whether you prefer the arcane mastery of the Wizard, the stealthy skills of the Rogue, the primal connection of the Druid, or the tactical versatility of the Cleric, each class offers unique opportunities to enhance your Harengon character’s abilities and role in your party.
