[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7074837, member: 20564"] Bard. I've played a bard in every edition since AD&D 2ed. (Original AD&D bard was gonzo to get into.) Well, I haven't played a 5e bard because every group I've been in already had one. Paladin is my #2. I love doing non-standard takes on them. My 18 INT rapier wielding swashbuckler city detective paladin back in AD&D 2ed before finesse was a thing. My mythos-inclusive oath-of-ancients paladin of Hermes, who as god of travelers watched over everyone, even though who not only didn't worship Hermes but those that didn't even worship his pantheon. There are so many takes beyond lawful-stupid that work with a group but have so much conviction. From pure mechanics 4e had some interesting classes. I enjoyed the concept of the warden, who was a primal defender but implemented their defender-y bit at least partially by being a melee-range controller. I also enjoyed the runepriest, a buffer/leader with close range auras so they needed to be in the thick of things. [/QUOTE]
