[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 5213192, member: 57112"] Changeling- Assassin With the Dex boost, the Changeling makes a nice Nightstalker. The Changeling's disguise makes for some wonderful synergy, if nothing else flavor-wise. Deva- Invoker Natural fit. Dragonborn- Barbarian Thaneborn, obviously, though if you cared more for flavor Thunderborn could be a fun choice. Drow- Paladin Paladin got the short end of the stick here, but a Drow Paladin is just a funny thing to think about. Go Protecting or (or maybe Virtuous) here. Dwarf- Battlemind Dwarves make solid defenders in general, and this may be the Dark Sun fanboyishness in me, but I thoroughly enjoy a good psionic dwarf. Eladrin- Rogue Make for excellent Shadowy rogues. If you like melee you've got plenty of options to get yourself out. Eladrin Education synergizes well with Rogues as well, possibly more so than the human's extra skill. Elf- Seeker Well... yeah. Genasi- Swordmage Flavor to your elemental preferences. Githzerai- Monk You can tell I had this particular stretch of races pretty easily. Gnome- Psion Gnomes flavor better as Arcane, but can make fun Telepaths nonetheless. Goliath- Warden Halfling- Bard Half-Orc- Ranger These were all fairly obvious fits. Human- Warlord With the right build and prestige classes, every time you use an action point, you win the battle. Kalasthar- Cleric Doesn't necessarily feel right going non-Psionic here, but they do generally make excellent blaster clerics. Longtooth Shifter- Fighter Grab a polearm and go to town. You're not quite as sticky but you're tough as nails to bring down. Razorclaw Shifter- Avenger Another solid, perfect fit. Shardmind- Wizard You have a pretty decent get-the-hell-away-from-trouble racial power, and with your stat boost choices you have plenty of choices to go with, though I'd tend to favor illusionist. Tiefling- Ardent Probably one of the goofier choices on the surface, but Ardents do enjoy the Charisma boost, and the "controlling emotions" flavor of the class does have some fun role-play opportunities with typically fiery Tieflings. Warforged- Runepriest Great synergy in general, and the idea of a Warforged covered in runes just seems right to me. Go Wrathful, obviously. Wilden- Warlock Take Con as your second stat boost. You'll probably want to stick with aspect of ancients or hunter. Go Vestige to mesh with the whole ever-shifting persona. Definitely a fun exercise, and it certianly gives you a ton of ideas for characters. [/QUOTE]
