Current Favorite Class?

[dutorn]

In second edition I ended up playing the cleric rather often, so the switch to 3.0 was a huge boost in my favoritism of this class. The drop for heal was a major blessing for me and I find this class to be my favorite for 3.5.

In second my favorite class was Paladin, but unfortunatly since then I've been unable to find a DM I would feel comftorable trying this 3.5 class with. It's at the top of my list for a character I'd like to play in 3.5, along with the necromancer.

I'm a big fan of rogue for the skill points.

Currently, I'm playing a soulknife and enjoying the ability to always have a weapon (our current enemies specialize in sundering), and to make it look like whatever I want. oh, and being able to throw the blades is fun too.

I'm looking forward to some day playing a warlock (ranged attacks, funny invocations), scout (can't think of a reason for this one), and a fighter (much flexibility in combat styles). I've also been itching to make a very acrobatic monk-based ninja, with a lot of archery feats.

I haven't played enough classes to have a real favorite, though I like to keep a variety in my characters, so things don't feel stale.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Monte Cook's Srocerer, PHB Rogue, Minis Handbook Warmage, Sorcery & Steam's Animal Lord, Northern Crown's Rake & Scout, Complete Divine's Spirit Shaman & Kalamar's Brigand. I don't know if I could choose just one.

My current favorite is sorcerer, and not just because I'm playing a 13th level sorc.

I don't play enough, and I decided a couple of years ago to be certain that I should try to play every core class at least once. The sorc I'm playing is still the first one I have played. Remaining on my to play list are: druid, monk and paladin. I've never been big on monks in any edition, and I don't care for wildshape, so paladin is probably my next choice, as long as it fits the campaign.

Rangers, All The Way

No doubt about it, Rangers have always been my favorite class. I love playing a stealthy, perceptive survivor, even though he's lacking the skills to do much about whatever he detects, and the need for cover often invalidates the Hide skill. It's a tradeoff, since the Cleric's Produce Food & Water makes his Survival skill pretty useless from level one on, and finding the way isn't usually that big a deal. The low AC and lack of feats makes the Fighter, Barbarian, Paladin, and even Rogue and Bard at least as good a combatant as he is, and he is the single WORST Semi-Spellcaster!

Still, he has a good mix of skills, and can do a lot. He isn't "The Best!" at anything but tracking (and that's not important very often), but there's little that he can't do, at least to some extent.

He makes a loust replacement for any other class, but an excellent "fifth wheel" for parties with the four core slots filled. I hate playing weak, wimpy spellslingers with few or no abilities, or even string casters with a few abilities who strain my disbelief. A wilderness-wise perceptive hunter I can handle, even if his skills are rarely that useful, and he becomes an "also-ran".

I like playing Clerics best, then it'd be Wizard, Fighter, Bard, Rogue.

My last couple of D&D characters would be a human cleric and a dwarf fighter, with a Conan Borderer in there as well.

 

[SBMC]

Fighter.

Reasons:
1. I prefer hacking away to casting.

2. Versatility; you can always make a different fighter with ease

3. It goes with/is useful with any other class out there for multiclassing purposes

4. Me like big sharp things.

 

[Child of Hypnos]

my Long time favorite is the Ranger, dunno why exactly - spose its cos its fairly versatile in combat and iget to talk to the animals and plants eventually, - its always fun when the other PCs come along and find you in conversation with a tree.

I keep promising myself im gonna play a Hexblade/fatespinner at somepoint though.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Psion (when avalible)
Wizard
Dragon (issues 320&332)
Cleric

I love resource management and tactical options.
I mostly DM so I have not gotten the chance to play a dragon, but they are common NPCs
with wide varieties of motives and personalities, currently all dragons tend to be NE - some change

Currently :
Godsbane - a bronze dragon/UrPriest 1 NE
Idget - a wyrmling copper prankster CN (possibly Scout3)
Spriritpense - copper slightly insane, with a necromatic bent. (sor2) CE
HeavensStorm - a bronze thrill seeker, inventor of Base jumping. N
Lord of Jangu - a mature adult bronze pacifist. "I just got tired of killing things, it was too easy." NG
Cupprium Queen - a NG Anchient Copper that protects a metropolis from rival dragons.
SkyTearer - a LE Gold - rival to above, runs an empire of kobolds.

 

[MrFilthyIke]

Barbarian for now, but both the new classes in Heroes of Horror would be cool to try out.
