[Orius]

Edition doesn't matter because the class was always in all of them. The class of many names. The pinnacle of Tier 1.

WIZARD

 

[Erekose]

Independent of edition - always Paladin or Fighter.

None. I have more of a predilection for ranged weapons than for any particular class. Examples:

my Dwarf Wizard carries 2 throwing hammers (yep: wizard with STR = INT);
my Human Slayer (greataxe) carries 2 throwing hammers;
my Human (3.5E) Fighter (heavy mace) carries 2 throwing hammers;
my Elf Bard carries a sling despite having ranged magic;
my Elf Cleric carries a Longbow despite having laser-like powers;
my Human (sentinel) Druid carries a sling;
my Human (hybrid) Cleric/Druid carries a sling;
my Human (insightful) Warlord carries 2 handaxes;
my Human (storm) Sorceress carries 2 daggers;
my Human Rogues, "Snake" and "Bamboo," carry daggers, X-bows, etc.;
my Razorclaw Shifter Hybrid Sentinel Druid/Invoker carries dagger & sling; and so forth.

Ranger. I love having options in combat and out. In 3E, whenever I play something else I miss the skills.

 

[Darth Illithid]

Warlock, Sorcerer, or Fighter for me.

 

[Manbearcat]

Unfortunately, I've never been able to be a player in all of my many years of gaming. However, if I would have played I would have likely picked a guy who could be a man...a bear...and a cat. Or maybe a Wizard. Or a Warlock. Hard bargains with otherworldly powers has all kinds of oomph to it.

I remember how excited I was to discover the Beguiler some years ago. I've been wanting to play a gnome Beguiler ever since, but haven't as yet had the opportunity. Other than that, Fochluchan Lyrist (if prestige classes qualify), and fighter/rogues (or admixtures of their class features) because I think that they reflect the quintessential adventurer.
