Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 14

[Aus_Snow]

Out, damn scout.

Wilderness Rogue (which is here - just scroll down to Rogue Variant.. - and also in Unearthed Arcana, by WotC) is all the 'scout' anyone needs.

 

[Gnome]

As before, I like them all, so going by what I think adds the least to the game, I say duskblade: I like the fighting mage as a core class, but there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, so it's not strictly necissary.

 

[Gnome]

Death to the beguiler!

Seriously, break the class down into its component parts and you'll find that the beguiler is nothing more than a bard that can't sing in exchange for WORSE combat ability and saves and a few kinda-cool-but-not-really spell "tricks".

Feh, I say.

I think they're a better bard than the bard. They have a much better skill list, and are full casters, unlike bards. Bards were never that great in combat, anyway, so losing their medium BAB isn't that big of a sacrifice in exchange for their other abilities IMO.

 

[Psion]

Alright... it's time to take out the last of the over-specialized casters.

Away with ye, beguiler!

 

[drothgery]

It would have been petty to vote for the psion in revenge for the psionics block voting off my archivist, so I kept voting for warlock.

 

[D.Shaffer]

I come back from the weekened, and the Psion is STILL here? We have to correct that problem.

 

[Mercule]

Still could be a toss-up between the Scout or Duskblade for my vote. I switched to Duskblade this round.

I will be seriously disappointed if the Scout makes it to the final three. It's not a bad class, but it is a far cry from a good one. If one house rules that Rogues can take Survival, then the Scout has no reason, whatsoever, for its existance.

 

[Drowbane]

Psy-Warrior!

Vote off Psion if you must, but surely you realize that it's idiot cousin needs to go first!

 

[Aesthetic Monk]

To cut the psion means cutting the quintessential psionics user and will be considered an attack on psionics. Just so you know.

So I went beguiler. But I think we've passed the point of needed pruning here.
