Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 17 (Final 3)

[Knightfall]

Duskblade needs to be gone.

I actually like all three of these classes, but I voted for the Scout.

As others have said, the class can mostly be emulated using rogue or ranger.

I do really like the Duskblade since the "fighter-mage" concept has been around for so long. It's nice to see you can actually play one as a core class and not multi-class and end up as an OK fighter but a really crappy arcane spellcaster.

This is getting tough! I may weep a bit when I have to eliminate the Warlock.

It was tied between Duskblade and Scout before I voted. Looks like we have a winner with the Warlock unless there's a sudden change in voting, not that it's a huge suprise.

What is the bland and flavourless scout still doing in here? Out, out damn'd spot!

 

[Imp]

I'm getting the idea that "bland," "flavorless," and "boring" track with "less magical" an awful lot. The scout is at least as distinctive a concept as any other D&D "nonmagical" class – of which there are very very few, of course. Fighter and rogue are basic, of course. Scout is about as good as barbarian, I think. Barbarian is stronger, of course, but kind of problematic. Overall, not a bad level to be at. None of the other non-core nonmagical classes come close.

The rogue has no magic, and is more interesting and conceptually sound than the scout. I don't see your point. The scout bites. It's skirmish makes the logic in my brain hurt. It's pointless and redundant.

I want to see the warlock go next. The duskblade deserves to stick around more than either of other remaining candidates, far as I'm concerned. We need a core/basic-class warrior-mage. We don't need a "I'm more sorcerer than the sorcerer, with T3|-| 3\/17 P0\/\/3RZ 2!" warlock. We really, really don't.

Why do people like the Warlock? The Warlock is teh suck -- vote to remove it.

Um.... no.

Of the three left, Ol' Warylocks is the only class I've played, and he kicked patootie! Were it not for a dumb tactical error on my part (not: Mariliths can take 5 foot steps, too) he'd still be alive. Dang, I miss the little guy.

Had to go Duskblade. I'm just tired of elves and friends of elves getting all the cool stuff.

Real tough decision but I've gone for the scout. My thinking is that while it's a fantastic variant on the ranger, it is still a variant. The duskblade and warlock however, crack new base class ground for me. Out of those two, I feel the warlock was particularly inspired. So it's looking like scout, then duskblade leaving the warlock the winner for me. Still, I'd look forward to playing any of these classes - congratulations WotC.
