[end joke]But the truth is because not everybody cares about being good and supreme in combat, in fact some would rather avoid it as much as possible, or want to try different stuff everytime. Personally I find heavy armor ugly, so try to stay away from it (so no war priest clerics), find the wizard too bookwormy for my tastes (Sorcerers ont he other hand are very cool), Preffer to play healers over clerics, and I like skill monkeys. Healers, clerics, druids (as multiclass element mostly), sorcerers, bards, rogues, paladins, favored souls, fighters, shadowcasters those make up my 3.5 repertory, in second edtion I favor specialty priests (of many kinds, no clerics though), bards and rogues. On fourth edition Sorcerers, Bards, ardents and clerics (though I'm dying to try out a lazylord and like to experiemnt with hybrids, ranger is a good component thugh I feel they are kinda broken). On basic nobody will be able to convince me to play anything other than a cleric. (Still experimenting on PF, however I find bards extremely unpalatable there)Basically I like more constant characters, and I don't care about being the most optimized character in the party, I just want to play, the only times when I care about what is optimal and what suboptimal are when I'm creating a subotpimal character on purpose (like say a focussed specialst enchanter with transmutation, conjuration and illusion as banned schools, a 13 on Int and an 18 on Cha, then planning on using inchantatrix to ban necromancy). When playing I only care about gtting the character I want to play right, and paying attention to character evolution. Nothing else.</blockquote>
