D&D 5E What are your (up to) three favorite character classes?

[RoughCoronet0]

Sorcerer, Warlock, and Artificer for me.

It's interesting, the fighter is second, but not from people actually posting...

 

[Ath-kethin]

1) Warlock
2) Rogue (Thief)
3) 2nd Edition Bard

In my campaigns I make minor adjustments to the Warlock sometimes (giving them the Ritual Spell feat like a Wizard and/or allowing Martial weapons). Even without that, though, I find warlocks to be easily the most interesting and compelling class in 5e.

In second place is the Rogue (Thief), which is just such a ridiculously fun class to play. I generally take the Ritual Caster (Cleric or Druid) feat with them too.

And I really miss the old half-caster Bard, so I pick that for 3rd place. I didn't vote for it in the poll, since the Bard's 5e incarnation just rubs me the wrong way, but I will cry about it here.

Bard, Druid, Warlock - Paladin would be next in 5E classes.

That's kind of amusing because as someone else who loved the 2E Bard, and played it extensively, I love the 5E take on Bards and utterly despised the 3E take (and 3.5E didn't improve it much). The 2E Bard was not a "half-caster" in any real sense due to the XP tables they were frequently not a lot less powerful than a single-class caster and about on-par with a multi-class.

It's interesting to see Wizard as the most popular. I've seen all of one Wizard actually played in 5E. Shows how much table experiences can vary - otherwise this seems pretty in-line with what we've seen.

 

[el-remmen]

Cleric, Fighter, Wizard

 

[Charlaquin]

Rogue and Warlock for sure. My third is a harder pick, I’m going with Fighter.

[Kobold Stew]

Cleric and Rogue have been my favorite classes since AD&D, and they remain so in 5e. Added Druid as a third.

 

[Silvercat Moonpaw]

Barbarian, because beating people up when I'm mad is appealing.

Druid, because then I don't have to be humanoid all the time.

Monk, so I can hit people with the most satisfying weapon of all.
