Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 11

[Gnome]

Gak; I can't believe that psion is tied for the loss with the knight! I like the knight for the most part, but I think the psion is more valuable and has proven itself as a worthy class.

Save the psion and vote off the knight!

 

[Nyeshet]

This is becoming odd. I fully expected the Knight or Psion to fall this time, but the Binder has actually managed to rise to the challenge of falling. I'm glad that the Duskblade has received a few votes, but it still seems to be the Duskblade, Scout, and Warlock in the low vote lead (about 10 each at present, compared to most others having around 20 or - for the top three - around 40).

 

[Glyfair]

I admit, I'm suprised at how close it is at this point.

 

[Mercule]

I think it's odd that the two classes I'd most like to see go (duskblade and scout) have the fewest votes.

 

[Nyeshet]

I agree on the Duskblade bit, as its required style is rather different from my preferred style, and I admit that I don't quite 'get' it. The Scout, initially was much the same for me. Its constant need for movement meant that it only got in one attack with its extra damage (which was notably less than Sneak Attack). It was also exposed to more potential AoO due to its movement, but its increase to AC from movement, combined with a few of its other specials (including Tumble as a class skill) made it workable.

It took a while, but it has managed to grow on me, so I actually hope it wins this tournament (along with the Warlock, another class that grew on me once I realized that a few changes to a few of its abilities and incantations would allow for ones of any heritage - fae, celestial, etc - and thus any alignment).

I don't get the hate for the Knight. The feat 'Goad' has been around since Minis Handbook (IIRC), so it isn't like this is anything new.

It's known to only a small number of people, and maybe it's hated, too. It's easy to ban a feat.

It's a good ability for the game to have IMHO, granting limited crowd-control ability to the meatshields & allowing them to fulfill the purpose of their moniker.

I disagree. The flavor is terrible, especially for a non-FX ability. It's like a suggestion spell.

It also has CoC issues and a few bad mechanics (low Fort save ... why?).

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Knight fall! Glad to finally see it go, I'm pretty much cool with the rest of the line up.

 

[Glyfair]

The Knight is gone, leaving us with only 8 more classes before the final survivor.

 

[occam]

Woo hoo! Finally the knight falls! Boy, that took a while.

Hmm, now I need to think of who to vote off next. With my arch-nemesis gone, I feel as if I've lost my purpose...
