[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 6382510, member: 54707"] I am not a Geek Gamer. When it comes to gaming, and especially role-play games I am far more of a Nerd, and very old school. So, that being said, I will rate the Character Classes in order (from best to last in my opinion) based upon both if the class is my favorite and on how strong I think it is. [B]BARD[/B] – by far the best version of the class I’ve ever seen in any edition and my favorite class – I really look forward to playing my Bard. [B]RANGER[/B] – one of the best versions of the Ranger I’ve ever seen and my second favorite class - – excellent exploration and hunting capabilities. [B]ROGUE[/B] – the best version of the Rogue I’ve ever seen (overall and including the Thief from AD&D) and my third favorite class. [B]WIZARD[/B] – I really like this Wizard and it was almost a toss-up for my third favorite class. [B]BARBARIAN[/B] – an excellent version of the class and I usually don’t care for them too much – but I would play this Barbarian. [B]CLERIC[/B] – I usually prefer playing Clerics so this class was a little disappointing to me. I thought it too weak and overly and unnecessarily complicated and sort of self-limited. [B]DRUID[/B] – I usually don’t play Druids or care for them, but this class is well done and interesting. [B]PALADIN[/B] – ordinarily a type of favored class for me but I thought that like the Cleric it was unnecessarily complicated and sort of self-limited. Especially when it comes to the undead. However I very much liked all of the Sacred Oaths. [B]FIGHTER[/B] – I’ve never cared much for the straight out Fighter and still don’t but I thought one of the sub-classes, [I]the Battle Master[/I], was excellently designed and would be extremely useful to any party. [B]MONK [/B]– I’m iffy on the Monk. I’ve always liked the concept but never thought it done curtly. I do not desire to play one and will not use the Monk class when I DM but will allow a version of the Byzantine Warrior Monk that will incorporate some of the elements of the 5th Edition Monk. [B]WARLOCK[/B] – I thought this was a very interesting idea and class concept but thought the way it functioned made the Warlock very uncertain and unreliable in play. It’s almost like a cleric limited to the whims of an unpredictable minor god of chaos. Plus you’re constantly in a sort of unpredictable bond-service or reckless blood-debt that you can never really escape. But I thought that with the proper Milieu Modification and changes to who you are beholding to that it would make for a very interesting character class. But only if modified. [B]SORCERER[/B] – I thought this class was weak and limited in concept and design compared to the others. My least favorite class. Overall though I really liked these versions of the character classes and 5th Edition I really like. [/QUOTE]
