So, this was mentioned in a convo over in the Rules forum that it might be interesting to make a bunch of poll to unofficially find out what should be each core races favoured class, using all avaliable supplements.

So, using the Hill Dwarf race from the PHB, what is his favoured class?

Warmain (Arcana Unearthed)

;)

Actually, Dwarves are one of the few races who probably have the right favored class, even with all the supplements. Fighter (and rogue) are the ideal favored classes because they're fairly basic, so it's easy to see any member of the race dabbling in them, and great for dipping (which favored class makes easier).

I could see swapping in the warblade or samurai, but the former is a bit too fancy and the latter applies only to the dwarven aristocracy.

I am assuming, of course, that it's the OA samurai, not the CW samurai, because no race without an Int penalty would FAVOR that... ;)

EDIT: I missed Knight on the list. Arguably the very best fit, and having a sub-optimal dipping class (IMX) as a favored class weakens dwarves slightly - which is no bad thing. :)

Fighter, or alternatively I would consider Expert (npc class) to account for all the smith/craftsman types that are attributed to dwarves.

Cleric. First thing I think of when someone says 'dwarf', actually. Between dwarven clerics in EQ (they have a good starting WIS), & the dwarf cleric in our RttToEE campaign, it just seems a natural fit to me.

With all the added base classes, my group has actually instituted a rule that expands the number of favored classes each race gets. However, each character can only consider one of those classes their favored.

Dwarves get: Cleric, Fighter, Knight, or Warmage.

Yeah, they get a lot. Yeah, they're already powerful. But, that's okay for me.
