Favorite Non-Core Base Class (Redux)

[Gez]

As John Semlak's thread, but richer. Also, multiple choices allowed.

Little problem, I don't know how it appeared, but the second Favored Soul (the one between Healer and Marshall) is supposed to read "Hexblade (CoWa)"... If a mod/admin can correct that...

 

[Felon]

Also, you spelled "marshal" with an extra "L". Of course, everybody else spells it like that except for the guy who originally wrote the class in the Minis Handbook, so I guess it's forgivable.

I blame George Catlett Marshall.

Well, at least, I didn't spell it Martial, as many people do. I've often seen the martial/marshal confusion (e.g., courtmarshal instead of courtmartial).

Your poll is flawed. It allows poster like myself, to vote while they don't know all these classes. I voted Psion (that I much like), but ExPsi is the only book of the list that I know and have read. :\

 

[Thanee]

Go, Warlock!

Also voted Favored Soul (twice, no less! ), Scout and Spellthief.

Bye

Yeah scout! C'mon, you can do it.

Voted for Psion and PsyWar too, here.

Incidentally, Gez (Mr. / Ms. OP), I wish you'd included the classes from OA rather than (or as well as?) the ah. . . (--not a suitable word--) versions in the 'Complete' range. I'm not having a go or anything; more like *sigh* as opposed to grr.

Go, Warlock!

I'm with Thanee on this...Go Warlock, Go!

Warlock is what the Sorcerer should have been.
I love Psion, Scout, Marshal, and Artificer as well.

I voted for the Artificer, but my actual favorite non-core base class isn't listed. In fact it's explicitly excluded. IE: The OA/Rokugan version of the Samurai.

I love that class. It portrays exactly what it means to portray. It's flexible. It shows what a feudal lord ought to look like skill-wise far better than the fighter. And it's a terrific starting place to mod-up a local variant class for a feudal lord or military leader. Want one of Arthurs Knights? Change the Ancestral Daisho to a Long Sword and Lance, write up his list of bonus feats, possibly tinker with the skill list a bit and done. Maybe 10-15 min of work. Try and do that with the fighter and you'll be there all day.
