What class?

[Velhart]

Ok.... So my friends and I are starting up a new campaign and i can't decide what to be at all. So.... give me your opinion.... or your fave set up, or w/e you think i should go with. Just your opinion. Pretty much any class is being allowed. Hope this is where this goes, this is my first post and everything. (Btw, i'm a little new to D&D but i've played like... half a campaign.) So.... opinions please.

Bard, melee combatant to 10th while fulfilling the requirements to get PrC Sublime Chord in the CArc so I have aceess to 9th level spells. Also taking the Lore Song option out of Dungeonscape is a great combat option.

Xeph swordsage with the Up The Walls feat. It's wicked fun.

Bard / Warblade (focused on White Raven stances & maneuvers).

Druid -- power is fun.

Swordsage -- cool is fun.

Cheers, -- N

If you like roleplaying (acting), go for the Pact Binder from Tome of Magic. If the GM likes it too it'd be great roleplaying fun!

I have loved playing a Battle Sorcerer from Unearthed Arcana (also available here) - the perfect combo of spellcasting and melee combat. Go human for the extra feat. If you have Complete Mage the suggestions for the Blaster or Warrior archytpes are overall good for this variant, but the BatSorc's ability to wear light armor, use a melee weapon, and 3/4's BAB progression mean some of the advice is to be ignored.

I have wanted to play a warblade from Book of Nine Swords, but haven't yet.

Really, any class + race combo can be fun to play if you have a clear idea of the concept and how it fits in with the rest of your party. To give better suggestions we are going to need more info about what you might like to play and possibly what the other PCs are going to be and a little bit about the setting.

I'm partial to the blue mage myself. I liked it so much I bought the company put it in my signature. PrC out if you want, just keep your spellcraft check up.

What books do you have / are you allowed access to?

Pretty much anything, the thing we're doing now is called.... "The biggest dungeon in the world." Thats literally the name. XD But yeah, So druid is out. XD. Thanks for the suggestions, and anymore will help.

If you're playing in the World's Largest Dungeon adventure, you want a class that is going to be fine regardless of equipment. There aren't many shopping opportunities in there...

So druid might actually be a good choice!
