It's been a while since one of these threads took place, and I thought it would be a good time with the recent proliferation of base classes. I made some arbitrary limitations to limit the list (I didn't include the Dragonlance Campaign Setting classes, or the psionic artificer as a separate class).

The rules are simple, vote for the class you want to "vote off the list." I'll take the 3 classes with the most votes off the list on Tuesday.

I'll start with Psionic classes then move on to Incarnum classes, just cause I wouldn't use either in any campaign I run. No offense meant to any who are into them; they just don't work for me.
 

I can only vote for classes I am very familiar with. I have had a player who ran a spellthief, and there's nothing more annoying than having to change an entire game world just so one player can use her classes primary ability more than once every three game sessions. Still, i wanted to give everyone a chance to shine...

buh-bye spellthief!
 


So at 35 votes so far the Samurai, Spelltheif, and Hexblade have taken the lead for getting voted off the island, though it's still close for everyone but the Samurai. No love for the Samurai, I see. Since I don't allow oriental flavored classes into my game, I haven't had a good look at the Samurai so I don't know why it is attracting so much ire. I'm just happy I'm not alone in hating the Spelltheif.

Simple...it is primarily a 2 weapon fighter, which SUX when compared to just having a fighter taking 2 weapon feats. Thats why it got my vote. BTW, the Oriental Adventures version is said to be pretty good.

It is.

I voted for the favored soul. I hate the favored soul because of its flavor (which is tied to its powers). Wings?? What if my god is the god of earth? What if he's the god of contemplation? Bah. Get off the island.
