Your favorite class?

[The Cats]

A simple enough question: Which class do you enjoy playing the most?

I myself can't really form much of an opinion since I've just recently started my very first campaign (As a monk) but I'm interested in hearing yours.

So, what is your favorite class and why?


EDIT: spelling errors!

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Mystic Swordsage. No competition. They are a flexible, and potent, class at all levels in addition to being incredibly versatile. It's closest thing there is to the perfect class in my eyes.

[nobodylovesyou4]

i like almost all the classes for their own reasons, but i love playing as a rogue. they have so many different applications, and they're not a bad combat force, either, as long as they're flanking.

cleric is another one i like a lot, because it, like rogue, has so many different applications. for me, the more different ways you can RP a class, the better. a paladin has pretty much one way to rp it unless you take grey guard, but a rogue can be virtually anything.

[ocato]

More and more I am succumbing to my love of clerics in all their varied greatnesses.

[Nohwl]

archivist, i like how they can tell the party a creatures weakness, and how to fight it. their spell list is a bonus.

[AmberVael]

Warlock. I do wish they had more invocations though.
They're simple, but have a good level of customization and a number of interesting powers.

[Cheesegear]

Personally, my favourite class is a rogue. I prefer stealth-based characters, that's just me. They can be useful in so many situations thanks to lots of skill points and lots of class skills. It seems to be one of those classes that 'anyone can play, but not everyone can master'.

Also Druids. If I'm not playing the party's rogue, then I'm a Druid. With stealth.

My favourite character I've made was a Rogue/Cleric though. Go figure?

[Zincorium]

Nowadays, probably Duskblade. I'm a big fan of the gish concept, and beguilers are an easy to use version of that that plays about as well at high levels as it does at low.

[Bag_of_Holding]

I've been pretty loyal to Druid for a long time.

[valadil]

Right now I'm fascinated with sorcerers. Beguilers might be more to more liking but I haven't tried one yet. My favorite PC was a bard.

[FlyMolo]

Warlocks, warmages, and anything psionic. Specifically PsyWar Thri-keen with War Mind levels.

[Trizap]

well I'm just starting out, so I don't really know but a Barbarian sounds right for me, simple, straightforward, get to smash face, plus a lot of funny roleplaying opportunities, such as thinking illiteracy is a deadly disease or getting distracted by shiny objects.

[FinalJustice]

First and foremost, Sorcerer. Entirely made of win. Arcane might, handsomeness, awesomeness and funnier mechanics. =D

Then, Warblade and Swordsage, ToB is beautiful.

[Chosen_of_Vecna]

Wizard, Wizard, Wizard. So many ways to play. So many variations. And whenever you get bored mem different spells. Also, being Unchallenged Master of the Laws of the Universe with a side of Way Smarter then You is pretty nice.

[Cainen]

Healer, even though it's woefully underpowered(I've done my part to fix it). I just like playing healbots.

[Kabump]

Well, Im a D&D noob, but I like the CONCEPT of monks, just not the execution. Right now, I have a swordsage im DYING to start using, campaign starts Wednesday

[SilentNight]

I enjoy rogues for the versatility in flavor and warblades for pure all around awesome. My new all-time favorite though is the cat-burglar by Bhu in the homebrew section.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I like alot of things, depends on what I'm doing. ToB is pretty fun, as are sorcerers.

[Lord Tataraus]

Swordsages (usually shadow hand focused) and Shadowcasters all the way. Runners up would be Binder and Spellthief.

[Yvian]

Elf Wizard for the power to do anything.
Dwarf Fighter to hit things really hard.
[I am classical, I am simple, I hate cheese].

[Chronos]

My favourite character I've made was a Rogue/Cleric though. Go figure?

Heh, my longest-running character was one of those, too. Well, actually, thief/cleric, since it was 2nd edition (which also made the combination much more viable).

But yeah, I like rogues, too. Everyone else, they can only do their cool things so many times per day (if they can do them at all, see: fighter), and have to ration them out, but rogues can do their cool stuff as much as they want.

I would probably like warlocks, too, except I've never gotten the chance to play one.

[Eldariel]

Didn't we just have one of these? My favourite class is Tome of Battle.

[Eclipse]

I'm all about the sorcerer and cleric. I like sorcerers for the amazing capacity of spell casting they have, and what they lack in versatility can be made up for in feats (and the archmage prestige class.) Clerics, well, they can heal, they can nuke, they can fight. What's not to love?

[Nebo_]

Mystic Swordsage. No competition. They are a flexible, and potent, class at all levels in addition to being incredibly versatile. It's closest thing there is to the perfect class in my eyes.

Wait, do you mean the arcane swordsage variant? That's one of the most hideously broken things ever to make it into a WotC book.

[BardicDuelist]

These keep popping up. I wonder if people give different answers each time...

My favorite class is probably the Factotum from Dungeonscape. I think it has the best mechanics out of any class in the game. It is actually good at not specializing and viable at nearly every level. It is single ability dependant for the most part, but rewards spreading your ability scores out. While taking Font of Inspiration as much as possible is the most powerful way to do your feats, it is not hampered by trying to emphasize annother aspect of your character and taking different feats. All around a sound class.

A very close second is the bard. The motivation is practically built in, and I loves the novels of Lloyd Alexander whilst I was growing up. Adaon was my favorite character.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Wait, do you mean the arcane swordsage variant? That's one of the most hideously broken things ever to make it into a WotC book.

It CAN be broken. However using spells like Blade of Blood as a strike and Expeditious Retreat, Swift as a Boost isn't going to end the world. It's just a really, really theatrical way to fight. The trick is to just be responsible when selecting your spells and, you know, act like you RESPECT your DM and fellow gamers?

I still think that Dimension Hop is the coolest freaking Mystic Strike EVER, even if it deals no damage and can be saved against.

[Collin152]

I'm fond of swordsages, though I've yet to play one.

I prefer Wizards, though.
Old man with a staff over young lass in leather any day.

[AslanCross]

1. Warblade.
2. Warlock.
3. Crusader.
4. Duskblade.
5. Psion.

[lordbrocktree]

my favorite class is the barbarian its just fun to play and i love being able to soak more damage than the rest of the party

[Grynning]

1. Fighter - I know it's the weakest class in 3.5, but I still remember my first character, a dwarf fighter in 2nd edition. Fond memories abound. I also defied all common sense by rolling a single class fighter in an epic game...dumb, yes, but choosing all the feats was kind of fun.

2. Everything out of PHBII - I think the classes in that book are very well constructed, interesting to play, and totally viable for their full progression.

3. Rogue, Ranger, Paladin and Scout, particularly in multi-class combinations with the class-feature stacking feats from the Complete series.

PrC's are a whole 'nother story...
