Favorite Class

[Storminator]

I noticed that you have Dual-Class and Multi-Class, but these are basically all considered Multi-Class in 3.5e!!! Hence, I was confused on what to choose, since I currently play a Fighter/Cleric, and since this is only two classes, it can be considered a Dual-Class by your poll or in 2ed ADnD.

I usually start with a fighter to get the good feats and high hitpoints, then switch to a Cleric for all the other benefits, including spellcasting.

I'm about to start a gestault Fighter/Cleric 13.

So dual class fits him perfectly.

I'm quite suprised at how poorly Barbarian scored; why would you say Barabarians are not so popular? Is favored race a factor? Are the mechanics for Barbarians too unpopular? Is it just a loser from a role-playing standpoint? Do barbarians tend to be antagonists rather than protagonists?

Here is a question I'm asking from looking at the results:

Why is druid at the bottom?

I've played a few and while the class is impressive (decent BAB, good spell casting and the abilities are very neat), I just can't get a good druid concept. They all seem to be the same type of character in my mind which I just can't bring myself to play cause it seems to have been done to death. The Druid is just a specialized Priest and I think that hampers the character concept possibilities.

I guess I cannot respond in the broader, general sense about Druids having concept breadth, but I am sure having fun playing my Barbarian1/Ranger1/Druid3 character right now! He is a bear-totem shaman from a barbarian tribe who focuses on tracking and animal handling. I suppose you could say that he is like all other druids in being a "nature guy", but feels different to me. Animal handling versus natural knowledge, or spellcasting versus wildshaping melee fighting... I do think there are ways to distinguish Druids.

JMO, of course.

As with my Druid answer, I am not sure about the broader answer of the class- but speaking about my own preferences, I think that barbarian has great roleplaying heft. It can "feel" quite different from a classic fighter despite the similarities. I like the rage mechanic, and more so now that there are several feats that allow you to use the rage in different ways (e.g. extended rage, extra rage) so your barbarian might seem a bit different from somebody else's. My current PC is a human barbarian, but have also formerly played a dwarf barbarian (straight, not multiclassed) and both were fun- I really like that the class lends itself to interesting backstory about the tribe, the source of the rage, the feelings about civilization, etc.

Again, JMO!

(Edited to answer Kaiser's question, also.)

P.S. Psion isn't a class, it's an abomination!

...and yet, there it is, in all it's glory. I'm not going to play one....but I'm happy to see a fellow player do so, especially with the 3.5e version.

But seriously, Thanee: isn't there a bit of abomination envy?
