Divine damage wielders. with fuzzy sidekicks.)*Elven Wizard (She was also a potent lil' spark, with Spellfire Wielder. She was cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)*Human Paladin (She was potent, but suffered from a player who wasn't into her as a character....bad match)*Halfling Rogue (Poor guy got devoured by a giant toad, but was a handly loose cannon. Lotsa fun!)*Human Sorcerer (Focused in "useless" spells...like Force Ladder, which he used as a blockade once upon a time, and a weapon as another)*Gnome Psion (His unwillingness to give in got him killed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />)*Human Telepath (This guy was cool in spades. By the end of the campaign, he could polymorph, probably the single most useful ability for a psion to have...this and the two previous characters were all played by the same unlucky sap...hehehe)In my Fate Chose Villains campaign:[In which the PC's played slaves who had to stop the coming of the Great Old Ones in exchange for freedom...and when they opted to play evil people]*Elven Ninja (The only character who's actually prompted the coming of the town guard)*Human Fighter (who slaughtered a town where a bar fight gone wrong resulted in his sword being stolen)*Elven Sorcerer (focused in weather-magic, fascinated with the sky, from living a life underground)*Human Psychic Warrior (denounced as "like a fighter, but more useless")*Elven Sorcerer (female, specialized in enchantment....something between her and the dude above was happening...)*Human Barbarian/Shaman (one of the most effective character combos I've seen, until he was dominated by a Cthonian)*Human Monk (not really given a big chance to shine...went for Red Avenger, though....started to get cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)And in my most recent campaign, After the End:[In which the PC's are playing in a postapocalyptic world]*Human Philosopher (playtesting the class I'm writing for my upcoming release...specialty preist-esque...focused on Entropy)*Orc Barbarian/Shaman (Reprising the combo from the other campaign....let's just say spell storing great axe + inflict wounds + rage + racial Str bonus = OW!)*Equus Geomancer (using a homebrew race that's humans with hooves and a unicorn horn, and a homebrew class whose spells change with the terrain they're on)*Equus White Mage (also using a homebrew race and class, this time focusing on the healing and buffing....trying hard to make her happy with choosing to be a buffer....)*Human Fighter (she hasn't gotten a lot of chance to shine, but she's got a mount, and that's cool enough for me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)So, what's that leave? Most of OA left untapped....don't have a bard (though the geomancer player is playing one in a different campaign), cleric (only heard hints of these), Ranger (hints again)....that's about it.And it bears repeating again: Barbarian/Shamans roxxor. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
