[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1354650, member: 13654"] Technically it has to be fighter because I've created more of them than any other class. But truthfully it would be inaccurate to say they're my favorite class. I don't really have a favorite. I've run just about every sort of class and race with the notable exception of gnomes. It's not that I don't like gnomes, it's just that I don't care about them - at all. A very close second is rogue characters because I've had a lot of those as well. If there's anything like a "favorite" class it would have to be monks. I kind of have a soft spot for them even if I've only run a meager few over the years. I've spent more time as a DM tinkering and tweaking monks than any other class because more than any other class I want them to be COOL. I don't know why. Edit: addendum. I think what I really favor is a swashbuckling type. My most memorable characters have always had a noticeable swashbuckling attitude. Dycron was a fighter - and actually used the old 2E swashbuckler kit. Once he got those boots of striding and springing he almost never spent more than a couple of rounds in the front line - he leapt over it into the backfield. Of course he frequently was found in the backfield unconcious and bleeding but he was ALL style and flash. He wouldn't know how to do things any other way. He used arquebus's not because they were effective weapons (they sucked!) but because they were loud, flashy, and impressive. Blackjack was a rogue with a few levels of fighter and also had a tendency towards Errol Flynn no matter how mysterious and moody I tried to make him. Baron Fyzo was DEFINITELY a swashbuckler. A halfling and pure rogue, but brass balls the size of church bells and a reckless attitude that earned the respect of the party paladin. When the two of them fought side by side to the death against a cave full of deadly spiders they became inseperable and each acquired the better personality traits of the other. Getting a paladin in full plate to be a little less straight-laced and methodical is always a good thing. [/QUOTE]
