Do you have a preferred class that you play?

[GrimCo]

I gravitate to well rounded jack of all trades characters that can fill in any gaps competently enough. In class based systems, that usually means some kind of multiclass, but single class wise, it's mostly bard or rogue ( which was usually my go to starting class).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I mostly GM, and I think I've probably played just about everything for a session or two, but long term I prefer rogues and fighters.

I have a tendency towards multi-classing based on how I imagine the character developing (not for a particular pre-determined build). I think my most played class is probably cleric - usually multi-classed because I love the story of the divine revelation and conversion - despite not being a religious person in real life.

Over the years, I've played a lot of different characters but I've probably gravitated toward rangers more than any other single class. But I suppose wizard, monks, rogues, paladins, and clerics follow closely behind.
I'm definitely not a player about whom anyone can roll their eyes and say "oh, he's playing THAT class again".

I had a player who would always play the same ranger, name and all, no matter how many times he died over the last 30 years. I always say didn't I kill that character already...multiple times...

I had a guy who played many wildly different characters over the years, but they were all named James. Just James. We started nicknaming them all the various versions of the name James. Jim, Jimmy, Jamie, Hames...

Im going to assume it became a running joke before too long. I ran a Star Wars game for my brother and one of his friends. They weren't into to TTRPGs but decided to give it a try, so they always had names like Bob, or Bill etc. Except the one time one of them played a Wookie and the character's name was Bobacca.

So far, I have played a Dex-based Fighter and a Dex-based Ranger/Rogue. The latter was my first attempt at playing a Half-Caster/Half-Martial character. Both of whom had the Two-Weapon Fighting style.

I am going to be trying out Laser Llama's Magus character in an upcoming adventure.

I tend to favor the protector Paladin archetype and always feel kind of dissatisfied playing morally gray bookworms or treasure seekers. This impulse has only gotten stronger with the state of world events.

When I was playing D&D, warlock was my preferred class.

With 5.5, the warlock isn't as appealing to me.
