My favorite class is the monk, for starters, and I think the class needs a complete overhaul.   I've played all the classes at one time or another, at least for a few levels. I'll just give a quick run-down, I suppose...I should note that in general I prefer versatile characters who can mix things up a bit, and not totally reliant on one thing. (Like Melee, Spells, or Skills)Barbarian I love the Barbarian as a multiclass option. I've built a lot of Half-Orc Barb1/Whatever. As a pure class, it gets a little repetitive, but I do tend to prefer this class to the fighter. Bard I've tried to like this class really, really hard, and have built a number of different Bards that just ended up being weak and boring. Cleric Not a personal favorite, and a class I very rarely play, for some reason. It's strange because I like almost every other divine class out there, but the Cleric rarely does it for me for somehow. When I do play a Cleric I usally end up dipping into fighter or Barbarian. Druid Overpowered, but fun. I like this class a lot better for the Cleric, mostly because the spell list is just way more fun. Fighter I may have played a straight fighter once. Usually I use this as a multiclassing tool, though...Monk Love the flavor, the speed and skills, and nifty special abilities. Mechanically though, the class is a mess. Every time I played the Monk I had to become a hardcore powergamer just to end up with a decently effective character. Paladin Cool concept. Boring class. Really boring class. The extra smites in 3.5 helped a bit, but in general the Paladin is just saddled with too many abilities that are nigh useless. The endless Paladin debates don't help either. The code has got to go. Ranger I love the Ranger. I love two-weapon fighting and archery, so my rangers are always proffecient in both, even if it is sub-optimal. The Ranger can be improved, but it's definately a favorite. Rogue Rouges are great. Another class I rarely use without multiclassing, though. I think I'm just now realizing how often I played Half-Orcs in 3rd Edition...there was the Monk, the Barbarian/Druid, Barbarian/Ranger, Barbarian/Rogue...Sorcerer I prefer Sorcerers to wizards, as I was never a fan of Vancian casting. I don't like playing characters who can't bust skulls once in a while though, so I didn't play much of either of the arcane casters. Wizard I seem to recall only playing Wizards when I had to, because of favored class restrictions or I needed the intelligence bonus or whatever. If I was rolling up a pure caster, I always went with Sorcerer.</blockquote>
