[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 3088411, member: 18363"] I nearly chose bard, as that seems to match its descriptive text better than any other class, but in the end I chose Rogue. The bonus to saves matches well with the Evasion, etc that Rogues receive. I considered Scout, but it doesn't quite have the right feel to it for Halflings. Personally, I was surprised that Bard and possibly Ranger have not yet been chosen - especially Bard. I note that every poll someone(s) choose both Dread Necromancer and Paladin of Slaughter. I think that is more of a personality statement or playing style of the voter than a considered opinion on the race in question, however. :uhoh: Crothian, the point of this poll - and its predecessors - is presuming that the new PHB would have whichever classes are chosen for favored classes - perhaps in addition to the current core classes, perhaps replacing a few of them if space constraints becomes an issue. These polls are working their way through the currently available classes, finding the classes that best suit the races based on the crunch and fluff of each race. At the time the PHB came out the creators had to choose the Favored Class of each race from their rather paltry and insufficient collection of classes. If a new PHB were to come out, with the Favored Classes redetermined based on current official classes from WotC products, and presuming that whichever classes were favored were certain to appear in this hypothetical PHB - perhaps in addition to the current classes - which would you choose for the race(s) in question? At present we only have a few races left to vote for (after this one). I doubt that Humans will be up for consideration, as their 'Any' is one of their central racial features (after the feat and a bonus skill points). That leaves Half-Elves and Half-Orcs - the latter of which is certain to get a poll of its own, the former maybe not (as it also has 'Any' for its Favored Class). So we might only have a single race after this one for which to re-determine the favoed class. As an aside, I am in favor of doing a new poll for the Dwarf, simply because it seems so far that each race has 3-4 major favored classes. Having, say, four favored classes for each would be nice and less restrictive for players, and at present it seems that the dwarf may be the only one to not have such due to its overwhelming focus on Fighter. So a new poll for Dwarf, purposely excluding Fighter, to determine its remaining 3 favored classes would be nice. :D _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ The results of these polls at present are: Dwarven Favored Class: Fighter (by overwhelming margin), [runners-up: Cleric and Knight] Elven Favored Classes: Ranger, Duskblade, Sorcerer, Wizard, [runners-up: Bard, Druid, Scout] Gnome Favored Classes: Artificer, Beguiler, Wizard, Bard, [runners-up: Druid, Sorcerer, Archivist] Halfling Favoed Classes: ???
