[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7074420, member: 6802604"] Picking just one class is tough. As someone who has had to DM, and admittedly wanted to, for time immemorial I haven't played a PC for a long time. Because of this I often find myself dreaming up character after character coming up with race, class, background (of both the mechanical variety, but also their actual backstory) and all the other little details... fantasizing about the day I'll get to play any of them. :p Because of this I have no one favorite class or race. But that's not what this thread is about so let's put a metaphorical gun to my head... Cleric probably takes my top spot because as a "real world" atheist I've always found exploring the idea of faith in a higher being interesting. My first ever character back in 2e was a cleric and to this day cleric remains my most played class That said, Warlock is a new and strong contender. I like the seemingly endless stories you can weave around having an otherworldly patron. Who is your pact with? Were you tricked into it or did you sign on the dotted line willingly? What lead you down this road to begin with? The things to consider go on and on. And in this edition in particular, from a mechanical perspective, the Warlock is basically "build your own class" because of how modular it is, something the upcoming Mystic also shares and which I'm looking forward to. Anyway, that's about it. I love all the classes and I've constructed an endless stream of characters in my head using all of them, but right now those two stand a little taller than the others in my mind. [/QUOTE]
