Race and class

The third-floor choice that can never be unmade. Donut stays a cat and tricks Mordecai into being her manager by picking Former Child Actor; Carl turns down Hobgoblin and Sasquatch for Primal — a blank slate with every skill unlockable to 20 — and Compensated Anarchist. Eighty per cent of crawlers stay human.

Series arc

As of book 3. Book 2's choices; book 3's consequences: Donut's Character Actor keeps skills across classes by a bug; Katia's doppelganger race is the floor's discovery — mass from a backpack, a third eye, a 98% gnoll, a sentinel gun; Elle's race came with a manager; Chris's changed him; Frank did not choose his.

Through book 2

Chosen in B2 ch. 1–B2 ch. 2; what everyone else chose in B2 ch. 7; regretted by Bautista (B2 ch. 23).

By book

Race and class in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Three hundred and twenty races for Donut, 398 for Carl, hundreds of classes, and the same lesson twice: the AI's recommendations are good for survival and bad for the show (ch. 1, ch. 2). Donut games hers; Carl takes the long road. The recap shows what others did — Hekla an Amazonian, Lucia Mar a Lajabless, a man a slug, a woman Kali (ch. 7); eighty per cent stay human. Bautista regrets his tiger (ch. 23); Katia's guide should have talked her out of doppelganger (ch. 21).

Race and class in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

Donut's Character Actor forces a new class every floor and, by a bug, lets her keep any skill she levels (ch. 1); Katia's race is the floor's discovery — mass, shape, a third eye, a gnoll at 98% (ch. 13, ch. 18, ch. 26); Elle's race came with a manager (ch. 8); Chris's changed him (ch. 8); Frank did not choose his (ch. 19).
