DND opinion 3.5
In your opinion what is the best base race,class,and spells this is just your opinion, I think that my favorite race would be Elf my favorite class would be wizard and my favorite spell would be animate dead. that is just an example if you want to put more you can but I was just showing what I meant.
You may live through the day as long as you dont do something stupid (jumps through the window) like that.
78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
I started my first campain in a castle dungeon for the murder of the king's son so ya not a good spot to be in.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
My favorite class would be the binder, I just love the fluff. The mechanichs are pretty nice too, allowing for lots of customization and allowing for at-will effects most people can't have. I hate the vancian casting system but I like versatility and cool effects, as well as a bit of occult mixed in. My second vote goes to psion, I love the way psionics work in 3.5 due to there fluidity.
My favorite race is Elan. Just like there fluff and immortality. To bad they don't work that well together with binders.
My favorite spell? Hard one, I don't use spells that often, I'd say it would be... Extract Water Elemental, from the Spell Compendium. Not because it's good, far from it, but because I so love the flavor of it.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
Favourite race has to be the Half-Orc. They're so unloved. And they're awesome. Well, the ones that don't go into the whole "ME MURDER YOU IN FACE NOW" and are more "Hi there. Um... please stop stabbing me you big ol' racist?"
Favourite class... that's easy too. Psychic Warrior. Love 'em.
As for spells, I don't really use them that much, but I love a bit of Expansion which is sort of like a spell in as much as it's a psionic power. Someone growing huge because they think they should be is just amazingly cool.BANG → !

Re: DND opinion 3.5
I gotta love the goliath; they aren't utilized much 'round here, and I find it hard not loving giant, ever-competitive mountain men with zebra stripes of destiny.
Class is either sorcerer or dread necromancer. Although I wish they gave sorcerer less of a draconic bent and focused more and giving 'em a wilder-esque surge mechanic.
Favorite spells are Prestidigitation, Stick, and Thunderlance. The first is just great, and I wish I could use at-will like in 4E; the second is also a cantrip, one that takes an object of light weight and just sticks it to something else; and the third is an extendable Monkey King lance of force that lasts a whole encounter, deals nice damage (2d8 + Cha), and dispels certain [Force] effects on a hit.Extended Homebrew Signature
SpoilerCoplantor's Official Second-In-Command 2.0. It's alot like being Will Riker, but still with less alien women and also pirates.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
Goblin. Binder.
I love the fluff of the goblins, maybe it's just me. And Binder has an aura of Mystique to it that just is awesome, and the implication that it is accessible to anyone who's willing to put the time into learning about the vestiges is pretty cool. I played in a campaign once where I basically was the dark one: Used my awesome goblininess to raise an army and carve out a kingdom in the foothills for my people, using "forbidden magics" (binding) to secure and stabilize it.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
Human. Call me crazy, but I hate almost all the race-specific fluff of default D&D, and prefer entirely culture-based fluff. You could throw out (almost all) races and simply call them different human cultures, and you change very little (and get rid of the annoying "They're orcs! We can kill them!" mentality).
Binders. Fluff is amazing and the mechanics are strong enough to back it up as a solid class. Close seconds are warblades and psychic warriors.
Favorite PrC is a tossup between several ones from the later set of Completes. Unseen Seer, Ultimate Magus, Eldritch Theurge, Ordained Champion, Paragnostic Apostle. Swift Hunter, if it counts as a "PrC."
Favorite spell? One of Enervation, Freezing Fog, Haste, Avascular Mass.Proudly without a signature for 5 years. Wait... crap.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
Human (for the extra feat and skill points), Rogue (because I love the ability to make a middling class better if you've got access to the necessary 21 sourcebooks ), and Silence (because it messes up spellcasters quite wonderfully for a low-level spell).

Re: DND opinion 3.5
Non-psionic
Favorite Race: Illumians! Why yes, that IS a neon sign circling my head, thanks for asking
Favorite Class: Archivist. In the midst of raining magical death on the enemy, I can calmly tell the mere mortals of the party where they should be aiming their shivs and pointy sticks for best effect.
Favorite Spell: Miracle. ("HELP!" Exactly what a 9th should be.)
Psionic
Favorite Race: Synad. If two heads are better than one, how about three?
Favorite Class: Ardent - the best marriage of fluff and power in the game.
Favorite Power: Can't choose! Too many good ones. Maybe Hustle for versatility.Last edited by Optimystik; 2010-05-26 at 05:15 PM.

Re: DND opinion 3.5
I adore halfling rogues. They're not the most powerful (though you can have good fun with Confound the Big Folk) but I love playing them. And I'm not going to go with that Faerun subrace that gets the bonus feat either. Screw optimization, I like my +1 to saves just fine, thank you.

Re: DND opinion 3.5

Re: DND opinion 3.5
My favorite class is definitely... either Fighter or Rogue. The two classes least tied down by fluff/flavor concepts, allowing them to be almost anything you want.
Race, well, almost all my PCs are humans. I feel if you're going to play a PC who's inhuman, it has to be a large, defining part of who they are or you're in Funny Forhead Aliens territory. That said, I also enjoy playing Orcs, Half-Orcs and other bruiser-type races.
EDIT: I don't really have a favorite spell, but when I was a kid playing D&D with my friends we'd get a kick out of saying "magical missile!" and "sleeep, sleeep!" out loud in the goofiest voices we could.Last edited by Piedmon_Sama; 2010-05-26 at 04:56 PM.
