[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 3054760, member: 18363"] I chose Fighter, although personally I think their favored class has yet to be crafted. For a dwarf I would expect a favored class to have: high BAB, good Fort and Will, 4 + Int skill points, Craft, Know (arch / engin, dungeoneering), and Perform as class skills - along with the normal Fighter class skills and perhaps a few others. Thus, the Savage Bard was almost the choice I made for this poll. It lacks, however, in both being illiterate and in having such a large spell casting motif. Four levels of casting at higher levels - focusing on runic type magic: transformations, maybe abjurations, perhaps conjurations (and not on illusions nor enchantments) would be better for dwarves. I tend to recall the items crafted by dwarves in Norse mythos - golden hair that attached and grew, a ship that could fold up to fit in a pocket, a hammer that once thrown returned to the hand that threw it, etc. But they were also notable warrior types - suggesting to me that the spellcasting should be kept to a minimum and perhaps delayed until early-mid levels. I second the comment on having the source of the class listed, perhaps something like: "Rogue (PHB)". Otherwise, I tend to like the setup. As for Gnomes, Halflings, etc - expect many to choose the canon favored class out of reaction rather than consideration. For the dwarves there really isn't a true favored class as of yet. The Fighter is the closest, but it lacks the skill points for it, really. Gnomes and Halflings, however, have several potential favored classes, but I expect many will choose Bard and Rogue without really considering other options - simply because that is what they are used to thinking of in terms of those races' favored classes.
