What class would you be?

[Michael Tree]

In the "What Class would you want to be?" thread, Stormborn had the great observation:

A better question might be: if a genie popped up and transformed you into your DnD PC counterpart based on your RL personality, background, prefrences, etc. what would you be?

Cleric/Bard multiclass without a doubt.

In the poll, if you'd be multiclassed, choose the class that is primary.

I suspect that, with all the bookish people and techies we have, there'll be a lot of wizards and artificers. I'd definitely be a wizard. As it is I read books of esoteric philosophy, history, and science for fun, and I can only imagine how much of a bookworm I'd become if books also could give me the ability to fly and turn opponents into kittens.

If I had a choice of non-D&D classes, I'd be a AE Magister. I hate preparing spells as a player, and I can only imagine how much I'd dislike it if it was my life. Plus, I'm an incessant generalist, and when I studied martial arts, staff was by far my favorite weapon.

I'd clearly not be minmaxed though. What kind of fool gives their wizard a high strength?

I'd be a psion no doubt.

RL personality and abilities? Bard could fit well (with mostly social - mostly Diplomacy, Intimidate, Sense Motive - and Knowledge skills, plus a high Listen score).

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Expert or commoner. Hopefully something like Nifft's PC Expert class, though

 

[EdL]

I said Sorcerer. Wizard was close, but I suspect that I'm too lazy for that.

 

[Herobizkit]

I would definitely turn up as a Bard. Jack-of-all-trades, master of none... I'm a people-person, and I'm not TOO bad of a singer and a killer story-teller. I really like the Bard's spell list; lots of useful spells but no "heavy artillery". Plus, I'd learn to play musical instruments to impress chicks.

 

[Aikuchi]

Shaman (though I think its a little inappropirately named) - from Oriental Adventures.

 

[jdrakeh]

No D&D class currently exists that is even roughly analogous to my real life personality. I prefer freeform character creation systems for this reason. No finite list of choices can hope to cover all of the angles, after all.

 

[RithTheAwakener]

Rogue. Im fast and dexterous, and think quick on me feet. I dont think I'd fare well as a warrior, and doubt Id ahve the patience or piety for a wizard / priest.

 

[Viktyr Gehrig]

Bard. Not a very good one, though, with higher Intelligence than Charisma and underdeveloped (for a Bard) social skills.

Sure, I read obsessively... but it's knowledge for its own sake, and to tell better stories.
