Classes you play the most

If I ever get in a game of D&D Cybertron, I am going to play a black Ford F-series as a ranger.

Paladins and wizards for me. Paladin is usually the first character class I create for any game that has it.

Only 40 votes yet, but still Rogue, Wizard, Fighter and Ranger are clearly leading the field. Just as in the poll done by WotC and the least hated classes in the poll for the most hated classes.

Looks like there is a second "big four".

How can you make such a poll without including Swordmages Sad.

(*) Well, Swordmage / Hexblade / Duskblade / Magus / Bladesinger...

Those are splatbook classes. But a "magic warrior" category might actually have been a good idea.

Rogues or fighters or maybe even figher/rogues. I've always liked the idea of the skillful warrior even if dnd dosn't do the best job of representing it.

Given the popularity, they really should focus on them. They see a lot more action than just another wizard with a new name.

I try to play a little of everything, though some stuff just doesn't appeal at all (magical naturey classes like druids, for example). I tend away from the complex caster classes like the classic spellbook wizard and towards spontaneous casters (I loved the favored soul and warmage in 3e). But after all's said and done I had to choose fighter. I love playing a totally non-magical character, a guy whose only defense against the insane challenges life throws at him is a sword, a shield, and the strength of his arm. I like my characters like Strider before he becomes Aragorn-- hard-bitten, hard-working, and just a little bit tired. (Yeah, I know Strider is very much a ranger, but bear with me-- I'm just talkin' feel.) I prefer gritty-style to epic-style play anyway, and I think this is best captured in the fighter.

That being said, I'd go back to playing rogues all the time if they were more skill-monkey like they used to be. Also, someday I'd love to build a fighter for whom neither Int nor Cha is a dump stat. I'd love to play the progression from Strider to Aragorn, and I'd love to have a character with the smarts and personal skills to show that.

Thief, Fighter, Ranger

I would play a rogue more often, but there are ALWAYS at least one or two other people who are already playing rogues or who really want to play rogues.

 

[Drowbane]

My top 5
1) Psion
2) Druid
3) Wizard
4) Cleric
5) Rogue or Swordsage (hard to choose)

Wow, this made me step back and realize that I do play a lot of rogues, especially multi-class rogues.

My first ever D&D character (Red Box Basic) was a thief with a hand axe.

I don't recall playing a lot of rogues in 1E and 2E AD&D. A couple of paladins and a specialty priest of Mystra come to mind. Oh yeah, I did play a rogue/preserver in a 2E Dark Sun game.

My first 3E character was a human rogue/fighter with a custom prestige class (grey swan duelist).

My first and highest level 4E/LFR character is an elven rogue. There's another rogue (duelist build from Dragon Magazine) among my six highest level LFR characters.

My Pathfinder Society characters include a halfling rogue/ranger, a human rogue (acrobat)/monk, and a fighter (cad)/rogue. Three out of my seven Pathfinder Society characters are multiclass rogues.

Someone else mentioned enjoying the "skilled warrior" archetype, and I think this applies to me as well. Beyond that, I think I gravitate to rogues in 4E because most of the 4E games I play in are all about combat, and doing damage is my favorite part of comabt. In Pathfinder Society, I gravitate to rogues because Society play places a heavy emphasis on skills, and rogues do skills better than any other class.
