[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9752769, member: 7030563"] What exactly do you mean when you say the classes you would not play? I play to 20 regularly, but I almost always multiclass and the only class I see myself ever playing that high without multiclassing is a Paladin (Conquest Paladin to be specific and probably on a Dragonborn species). The closest I have come so far to 20th level in one class was on a Monk in the 2014 rules. I had a Dhamphir Long Death Monk 19/Death Cleric 1 and she started as a Cleric. I would consider it on a Paladin though. So if you mean single class it is probably all of them except Paladin. Paladin is the only single class character I see myself playing to that level, although I haven't done that yet. If you mean what I will call primary class the two I would not play are Barbarian, Druid and right now I will say Warlock for a third, but I used to say that about Bards in 2014 too and ended up playing a slew of them right before the 2024 rules came out. If you are asking what class I would never have anywhere on my sheet, even in a 1-level dip, then the answer is Barbarian. I have had at least one level on a 20th level PC in every one of the other 2024 classes already. Ranger is my favorite class to play, both in 2014 and 2024, but I multiclass it, almost always with a Charisma class and sometimes with other things. My last "20th level Ranger" finished the game as a Green Dragonborn Fey Wanderer 13/Glamor Bard 5/Monk 1/Druid 1. Rogue is my second favorite class, both in 2014 and 2024. My last "20th level Rogue" in 2024 finished the game as a Kobold Arcane Trickster 10/Draconic Sorcerer 4/Hexblade 4/Paladin 2. [/QUOTE]
