One of them reads fantasy books, so she is at least a bit knowledgeable, but the other one watched Lord of the Rings years ago and that's about it.What do you think would be the best race and class for newbies? I am thinking the best race would be human; it allows them to be very all-around, though I guess it might be better to change it depending on the class.So best class? Please note that I don't know as much about the classes as most people here, not seeing anything about KotS.-Cleric may be good, if they were focused on healing, as it is fairly straightforward and doesn't have much as much danger, being in the backline.-Fighter could work. I don't know much about their powers, but I don't see it being a very difficult class.-Paladin... I'm a bit worried. It wouldn't be wise to put them in a leadership position, and having to focus in str, wis, and cha, might prove confusing.-Ranger seems best to me. They seem fairly straightforward, though I'm not positive.-Rogue is probably out. What I've seen, they move a lot, and might be intimidating to someone new to tactical games. Plus they'd be needed for lots of non-combat tasks, which would be great, I guess, but other classes have non-combat abilities as well that don't need to come up so often.-Warlord is also probably out. The role seems to be entirely leadership and high tactics.-Warlock is the same thing as the rogue, I'd guess. -Wizards...Again, I don't know. In 3e I would say no, just because there would be too much to remember for someone not used to remembering it, but I don't know how wizard spells work in 4e.</blockquote>
