    Default favorite class to play

    in my personal opinion my favorite class is the Paladin

    why easpically in low level campains u get very good

    eg
    detect evil: u can find the baddiess easy
    smite evil ; even with the good attack bonus u get a plus still
    Divine grace; get a plus to ur saves good for paladins poor will and ref
    lay on hands; heal urself or allies without a ramdom number like cure spells
    Aura of courage; immune to fear and imtimidate checks and also gives a +4 to allies
    divine health; immune to all types of diseases magical or supernatural
    Turn Undead; slay undead like the clerics just a little weaker than the pros
    Spells; u can cast a few helpful divine spells that can help
    Special Mount; wats better than a horse or other mount that is faithful stronger faster than normal

    One of the few classes I've yet had the pleasure to try.

    My favorite is definitely the rogue - especially paired rogues.

    Skill monkey with a decent attack (weapon finesse ftw)... not stellar damage, but then, I don't want the baddies to concentrate fire on me either.

    Rogue is a lot of run.

    Bard, because nobody I know appreciates them as much as I do. Also, it's fun.

    I get to sing (Well, I chant or just talk most of the time) to buff my allies, which keeps them happy. I can buff myself up and become a competent sidekick to everyone, holding my own in melee and spellcasting, and lending a hand in troubleshooting. And I get to be active all the time, even when the spotlight isn't on me.

    Big fight? My song supplaments my BAB to make me a threat on the battlefield, especially when I (all 5 of me, thanks to Mirror Image) tumble past the enemy and provide flanking bonuses. Arcane puzzle? I heard something about something like this while talking to that old man in the tavern back there. Tough lock? pick pick pick the troublesome security mechanism.

    I'm a big fan of Bards for style, but not good at playing them. My favourite classes are Paladin, Sorceror, and Rogue. In that order more or less, and not for power reasons... they are just fun to play. I am putting a ton of effort right now into building my character's entire unique race and their unique cultural PrC that is equivalent (note: not similar in play style, but in philosophy) to a sorcerous paladin: best of two of my favourite classes.

    I like a couple, the Hybrid classes mainly. Psychic Warriors, Duskblades...

    And, well...

    Paladins. :D

    I also enjoy the Tome of battle classes a lot!

    Well i've had little experience with PnP DnD, just a few campaigns run by friends that didnt last long, but Id have to say that overall I enjoy the Swashbuckler, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Bard classes.

    They just seem fun and interesting, and for the most part I like skilled class professions.

    I've always liked the standard fighter. Hexblades, warlocks, and sorcerers are probably my next three favorites as far as flavor goes.

    Psions and Barbarians, though I like the plain old fighters too.
    Something about blowing people up with your brain or your axe just is appealing to me... and I like the psionics system better than the magic system.

    I like Fighter because it's a very versatile, customizable class. Also, I feel like I'm getting the big payoffs at almost every level, instead of always having to think "I'm gonna kick butt at level 12" at level 3.

    I've always liked full casters, but then I'm also a power-hungry maniac underneath my veneer of decency and civilization.

    Seriously, I like playing casters in the support/battlefield control role. I tend to solve a lot of puzzles in the games I play, so I like stepping back and letting the other players shine in combat. Just be careful of the tentacles.

    My favorite class is the Wizard, by far. I like being the troubleshooter. Spell preparation and application is a game in and of itself, and one that I rather enjoy.

    I'm a big fan of the wizard, especially with a couple of item creation feats. My current wizard just finished four low level wands and 15 higher level scrolls.

    A scroll is the solution to every problem.

    I got the nickname "paladinboy" for a reason. I have yet to play a character with a non-good alignment for more than a little while, and almost all my characters are LG. Of course, most of them are paladins.

    Then again, I also like wizards for their versatility.

    I've never really had a favorite class. I tend to play melee combants, but mostly end up in play as 3-9 class monstrosities.

    Swordsages for me.

    I love the over-the-top dramatic fighting styles that maneuvers can give you, along with being an agile, unarmored fighter.

    In core though, I'm gonna go with Fighter.

    My favorite was a monk I made who became Chaotic due to the loss of his family, and started taking levels in barbarian.

    He started drinking too. Kept a bottle of whiskey on his person at all times. He was great.

    I try to play something different every time. Right now I'm playing in four online games (one of them's on hiatus), with four very different characters:

    1 noble Dwarf Knight, who acted like a knight before I even learned about the class. He's planning on becoming a Defender.

    1 tricky Human Rogue, with lots of ranks in jump and tumble. He goes where he wants on the battlefield. Wait until he takes a couple of levels of Thief-Acrobat.

    1 absent-minded Human Diviner, with at least 1 rank in every knowledge skill. He's brilliant, but easily distracted: fortunately, his owl familiar's wiser than he is and keeps him on task.

    1 surly Dwarf Ranger. I decided the PHB description of the caver was too interesting to pass up. There's just something innately fun about a ranger who doesn't like being outside.

    I'm not sure I could say which one I like best. The Diviner's my newest, so I'm having a lot of fun with him right now. And I like Dwarves, so I'm considering doing a Dwarf Runesmith/Eldritch Knight in my next game (Heavy armor/high HP for just a couple of spell levels and he could be quite effective on both fronts, I think). But I've also been wanting to try a Bard. And I ought to play an Elf sometime, just to do something different.
