[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8419709, member: 58172"] It depends on the edition. To be fair, Wizard is my perennial go-to. But to my surprise, in 5e the Wizard, Bard, and Paladin are my favorite classes. I have played 1e, 3e, 4e, and 5e. (Not in that order. I learned D&D from 1e old-schoolers, then played 4e, then played 3e while playing 4e, and now am pretty much exclusively 5e.) In 1e, I love the Druid and Illusionist. The magic is awesome and these seem tougher than the Wizard (Magic User) at lower levels. My Druid reached Hierophant levels. Both characters had several custom spells from 1e Spell Research. In 3e, I love the Psion. The innate magic of the mind is my favorite flavor, and the nonvancian is a breakthru. Philosophical Cleric is fun too. In 4e, I love the Wizard and Sorcerer. Designed for balance and reflavoring, I can play characters that I cant in other editions. In 5e, I love the Wizard, Bard, and Paladin. Love 5e spellcasting mechanics. The Bard and Paladin are incredibly versatile classes. I used Paladin for both Thor and Gandalf! (I cheated a bit giving Thor lightning and thunder smites instead of radiance, and giving Gandalf two weapon fighting style. But everything else legal and feels accurate enough.) I am hoping 5e will come out with Psion that uses Warlock spellcasting in the same way that the Cleric uses Wizard spellcasting. And I hope both Psion and Warlock will migrate over to bonus-proficiency times per day, instead of per short rest. [/QUOTE]
