My imaginary character(never played Basic but owned the books) was an Elf1E: Most of my 1E experience comes from playing the gold box AD&D video games, and from those I became a big fan of the Dwarven Fighter/Thief. Once you learn how to set up backstab by delaying initiatives, these guys are solid gold. I always loved the roleplaying concept of the Fighter/Thief, a roguish character who could fight. My second favorite 2E character was an Elf Fighter/Thief. Especially when combined with the fast leveling of the Thief class, the Fighter/Thief was a much more rewarding character to play in a game with regular combat than the straight Thief.2E: Fighter. In 2E, the Fighter owns. Unless you played the game to very high levels, nothing really compared to the raw power of weapon specialization. It really was that good. Honorable mention goes to Bards combined with the Complete Bard's Handbook. 3E: I was always fond of the Warblade and Psychic Warrior. Physical Melee characters with a bag of tricks and strong enough to get the job done. I was saddened that the optimization arms race other players I gamed with provoked me to play Wizards and CoDzilla to keep up, instead of the classes I liked.4E: Fighter, and the 4E Fighter is my favorite D&D class ever. Words can't describe my love for this class.</blockquote>
