Favorite Class

[Teapot Salty]

Hey guys. I'm wondering, what's everybody's favorite class? Why? Mine is the ranger. If for no other reason that I'm nostalgic for it being the first class I ever made (my character was sssmarter than the avaridge gnoll) their just so bad ass. Swinging two swords, filling things full of arrows, being strikers. The only problem is, their not very good, but meh. Bard has been giving it a run for its money though. What about you guys? And as always, go nuts.

[Knaight]

What system is this supposed to be for?

Any of them.

[Milo v3]

Type Ace in Pokemon tabletops, there is just something immensely satisfying about changing the type of moves and your Pokemon.

Dark/Ghost Shedinja anyone?

[Knaight]

There are a lot of options here. At the edge of the "class" concept but within archetype based design, the Mouseguard Apiarist. You keep bees. Lots of bees. That doesn't sound like much, but given that you are mice bees are big, potentially terrifying creatures. Of which you keep a hive.

[Fabletop]

Ranger, with the OP.

Very versatile & washes the tropes.

[A Tad Insane]

Binder, because they managed to pull of occult and heretical in a setting with wizards, dragons, and dozens of gods

In one paragraph, you have made me want to play Mouseguard.

For 3.5e, it's the wizard.

For 4e, it's the Barbarian. One of the two times I've gotten to play instead of DM, I played a Gnoll Rageblood Barbarian. Had a blast

It"s a very well written game. I haven't had the chance to play it yet though.

I enjoyed playing a Factotum as much, or more, than any other D&D class.

[Stoneback]

3.5e Scout. Usually better than a rogue at all of the rogue's jobs. Better flavor.

In Champions, a martial artist with gadgets.

[YossarianLives]

In 3.5 I've probably had the most fun with bard. Although I once had a pretty epic gnome paladin

[Jay R]

Original D&D: Magic-user.
Original D&D with all the expansions: Paladin
Original D&D with all the magazine articles: Bard
AD&D: Elven Mage/Thief
Flashing Blades: Rogue or Gentleman
Flashing Blades with all the expansions: Sailor
Chivalry and Sorcery: Knight or Alchemist
Champions: Martial Artist or Brick (yes, those aren't really classes, but it quacks like a duck.)

[Honest Tiefling]

Typically whatever is the nerd class. Whatever allows me to substitute reading source books in place of interacting with NPCs is fine by me.

[Erik Vale]

DnD 3.5: Warlock. At level 12 it can do just about anything, it can be role played in many many ways, and endurance is it's middle name.

PF: Tattooed Sorcerer, such juicy fluff, such nice crunch.

Heroes: Teleporter [not a real class, just general point build]. Sure, you become the parties horse/main mode of transport, but I'm a fantasy fighter bomber, so suck it.

Fallout: 10 Int with Educated. I am better then you at your specializations. Because I get ALL the skill points.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator for coolness, especially with biotic abilities.

Demons Souls: Knight. Easy to tweak to get all the things very easily. Comes with plate to slowly equip for fast rolling.

And that's all off the top of my head.

[Prince Raven]

I play a lot of stealth games and I really enjoy playing a rogue.
On the other hand, as a bard I can annoy people with my singing in-character.
I find it hard to choose...

[ElenionAncalima]

I have a weak spot for Bards and Monks. I wish I knew why. For some reason, I come up with my favorite backstories for them...and I enjoy the challenge of making them party assets.

[Amphetryon]

3.5: Dread Necromancer, Warlock, Crusader, Psychic Warrior, Wilder (order subject to change without notice).

Pathfinder: Torture subdomain Inquisitor or Witch.

Rifts: Glitterboy. What?

[erikun]

I'm a big fan of martial healers.

Why? Because I like to tank and like to be the defender. I like being the one that people can rely on the pull their fat out of the fire. I also like being capable of surviving such actions and patching myself up afterwards.

[imaloony]

I'm usually the rougish guy in the group. I like Rogues, Rangers, and Scouts. Above all else, I HATE mages, though I'll settle for divine spellcasters if need be.
Honestly though, if it's not a pure spellcaster, I'll dabble into just about anything.

I briefly played the 40k RPGs (I doubt I ever will again, however) and when I played those I usually played the Tech-y guys (Tech Marine, Tech Priest, ect)

[mephnick]

I primarily play PF so I'll go with...Inquisitor, probably.

I like religious stuff in games, but clerics feel a bit bland. Being the badass Batman of whatever God I choose hits me right in the flavour balls.

[The Oni]

Dark/Ghost Shedinja anyone?

That's just wrong.

So far the coolest class I've seen is the White-Haired Witch archetype from Pathfinder. "I whip my hair back and forth" indeed.

[Prince Raven]

At least it would be weak to Fairy, plus you could just burn/poison it and laugh.

[Qazarar]

In whatever game, my favorite class is almost always the Paladin - or at least the closest thing to it.

[Anderlith]

I like the Artificer, Factotum & Duskblade in 3.5 & I like all the Pathfinder classes.

I usually play one of three different kinds

Wizard/Artificer/Factotum to be the guy with the solution for everything
Paladin
Spellsword

[Gnome Alone]

3.5: Beguiler. Why, yes I will take a hundred bajillion options, most of which involve messing with people's heads, thank you for asking.

[TheOOB]

Probably the Beguiler from 3.5. It's extremely well designed, being very powerful in their niche, but still useful outside of it, they fill a party role that doesn't have many good options, and allows you to play an illusionist/enchanting focused character without feeling like you're playing the class wrong.

In fact I love all three of the specialist sorcerer varients(beguiler, war mage, and dread necromancer), though the later two in more of a conceptual way than an execution way.

As for none D&D/d20, I'm going to have to go with Tamori Shugenja from Legend of the Five Rings. They make potion making bad ass.

[Kane0]

The warlock. It just has so much flavr.
Also it is conpetent and versatile without going overboard.

Honorable mention to the scout and hexblade.

[Hytheter]

My favourite class is Maths.

[Prince Raven]

I quite enjoy Biology.
