I recommend a focus on classes that have a lot of "unlimited-use" abilities, because this will encourage the players to actually use their abilities.Scout: Cool yet straightforward abilities, extra damage is easy to "trigger", and you don't rely on anyone else to function in combat.Warlock: This is an introductory spellcaster. Help the player pick his Invocations, though.Dragonfire Adept: The other introductory spellcaster. Again, help the player pick her Breath Effects and Invocations.Dragon Shaman: Easy "cleric" with unlimited buff spells but still some tactical thinking (to get maximum benefit from the auras).Psychic Warrior: Wait, wasn't I talking about unlimited use abilities?! The PsiWar's [Psionic] feats are his early combat abilities, his Powers should be considered secondary until he's levels up a bit. Help the player choose his feat & powers.Fighter: Well, duh.Ranger: Good skills, nice in an archery role, kinda squishy for a front-liner.Cleric: Buh?! Well, here's your spell list: remove fear, bless, detect evil, magic weapon, and protection from evil. You can spontaneously convert prepared spells into cure light wounds. Here's a shield, a mace, and some medium armor. Oh yeah, and you get to pick a deity! Remember, Pelor = Satan.IMHO, these would be bad:<s>Bard</s>: Complicated to enjoy, since they spend so little time in the spotlight, and yet have a lot of complex abilities.<s>Barbarian</s>: Limited x/day abilities, and in my experience, they die easy.<s>Wizard, Druid, Psion, Binder, Spellthief</s>: Too complex.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
