So what's your favorite revised class?

[Kai Lord]

Now that we've gotten the major scoops on all the classes, which revised class do you like the best, for whatever reason?

 

[Sejs]

Bard. They're not as wussy as they used to be.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I think so far the bard is in the lead. It seems like they did a lot to make them cooler.

Druid looks to be a close second though.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Toss up between Bard and Druid...but...I'll go with Druid. Mainly because my girlfriend always refused to play a Druid because she knew a guy that was a 'real' Druid who died when she was little. She absolutly refused to play a Druid, even though she's the kind of person that would be perfect for it...I showed her the Revised Druid and got a "Ooooooooooooooh". So maybe we'll actually have a Druid in one campaign now.

The wizard classes.

Of all the changes I've heard so far I think the spell rebalancing will have the greatest positive impact on our game. I'm not entirely happy with them all to be sure, but they're definitely an overall improvement.


A'koss.

 

[CrusaderX]

Bard and Druid are both cool, but the original 3.0 Ranger was so messed up in so many people's minds that the 3.5 change isn't just cool, it's a godsend.

 

[Hikaru]

I voted Ranger. I would have voted Sorcerer, had they received UMD as class skill, as Andy Colins lobbied for. As for Bards, yeah, they're better, but they're still inferior to the Cleric as:

1) fighters,
2) magic users,
3) supporting characters.

So...

 

[Mercule]

Well, I'll blow Kai's mind and say Ranger.

It still isn't what I'd have made for a Ranger and the combat paths are a bad idea, but it is a very cool class and it fills a niche that's been empty. I'm very much looking forward to trying one.

Not in every way. I don't very much like the fragmentation of spells: no one buff spell, but six; no longer one emotion spell, but four; no rock-to-mud/mud-to-rock spell but two different spells. It increases the number of spells quite artificially, taking more room in the book and reducing versatility rather than firepower.

 

[Nightfall]

Voted Ranger mostly because while it too a HD hit, it's certainly become a much more rounded character class AND it make sense to take beyond 2-5 levels worth. But I don't expect to use all the 3.5 rules. But definately the improved Bard, Ranger and Monk and possibly druid will be involved.
