Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 10 - The Top Ten (predict the final 3)

[D.Shaffer]

If I cant have my Totemist, I'm killing the Psionic classes.
'DIE PSION! DIE DIE DIE'
(And before any of you pro-Psion types get on my case about it, I was never fond of the Psionic rules to begin with )

I'm thinking (Hoping) the Knight, the Warlock, and Scout will last.

 

[Psion]

Friends! Countrymen! *crickets* Undecided voters! Save the psionic classes from the crushing iron fist of psi-haters! Cast your votes for the downfall of anything else! The psi-haters are catching up to their ultimate goal! Man the walls and reinforce the gates! Cast down the bard-hatin' beguiler! Throw out the lich-wannabe! Stone the ranger-and-rogue-and-monk-murderin' scout!

I approve this message.

To both show my spite for PHBII and stave off my own destruction, I shall now join with the knight haters!

Join with me now if offering up the knight as a suitable sacrifice!

 

[Desdichado]

Duskblade and Beguiler are consistently getting the least votes, so I think they'll stay. I think the Scout probably has the next best chance. Warlock could go the distance, but I think there's enough folks that don't like the class that it'll get axed before Scout does.

 

[occam]

How about some LETHAL damage, Knight!

Actually, looks like I'll have to wait through the psi-hate before the knight has his day. But maybe there's a chance... Psi-lovers, unite! Down with the knight!

As for final 3, I'd like to see the scout and the warlock in there. I'm barely even familiar with any of the others except the psi classes. I don't have anything against those, they seem like well-designed classes, I just don't have a near-term place for psionics in my campaign. Still, if I had to choose a third class, I'd probably go with psywar.

The Warmage and Artificer left the list last round and we are down to the final 10. This round, I'd like to see everyone post what they think the final 3 classes will be.

As previously, vote for the class you want to vote off the list. The class getting the most votes will be removed from the list.

Remember, predict the final 3! I'll stick with my 3 of the Beguiler, Duskblade & Warlock.

Is only one class getting voted off this time? And will there be more rounds?

Yup, I plan on removing one at a time, ending when we get down to the "sole survivor."

That means it should end next Saturday, barring any tiebreakers (which I'll probably use to get it up in the afternoon by having a 12 hour or so tiebreaker)

Mr. Knight

Please remove yourself and your Aggro/WoW abilities from my D&D game.

Thank you.

As for the Final Three

Duskblade, Archivist, Scout

 

[Endur]

Beguiler, Dread Necromancer, and Warlock are the three I would prefer.

The Dread Necromancer is a fantastic class. I'm shocked so many people are voting against it.

The Dread Necromancer is a fantastic class. I'm shocked so many people are voting against it.

We are getting down to the point where many people are voting for the least good choice, rather than the bad choice. While I didn't vote for the DN, I might have. My play style means that I don't want to play an evil oriented character (even if it's a neutral "evil" character), or with one in my group.

There is also the "anti-kewl" vote to consider. Certain things some D&D players hate simply because a certain type of player considers them "kewl" and they get overplayed as a result. Drow are the classic example (especially good drow, with two weapons). The vampires/necromancers are another thing that falls into that category.

 

[Nyeshet]

I notice that the Duskblade is still the least voted for among the lot. Is it really that good of a class? Or - as I mentioned in the last pole - is it merely that no one has played it enough to form an opinion about it, and so it falls by the way side in the voting?
