Full Caster is a slang-term that appears on /tg/ in reference to Dungeons & Dragons. A Full Caster is any class capable of spellcasting with the following traits:

  • They start gaining access to spells at 1st level.
  • They can reach up to 9th level spells.
  • When multiclassing, each level in this class counts towards the character's Caster Level.

Usually, a full-caster's power is offset by physical frailty. Their durability is quite poor when compared to others and their combat ability is considered equally weak sauce, if it even exists at all. Thus, their power is usually better spent augmenting their casting powers or gathering new spells to cast.

Full Casters in D&D 5e currently consist of the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock and (most iconic) Wizard. Artificer is in a unique position of only meeting the first trait, placing it in a new tier commonly referred to as a Two-thirds Caster.
