[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6092478, member: 12460"] Thank you everyone for your responses and comments. This has been very helpful thus far. Please do feel free to carry on the discussion. I will go ahead and contribute my own opinions on the subject. I happen to agree that the holy trinity of cleric, druid, and wizard are the most powerful because of their sheer versatility. I partly wanted to see if my poll would confirm that or if there were other expectations. My own personal feeling is that clerics are the most powerful overall simply because they have the versatility of the druid and wizard plus the best healing abilities. With the core rules only, the druid is probably the best if only because of Natural Spell. But if clerics are allowed access to divine feats such as Divine Metamagic and Persistent Spell then I feel they have the edge at almost all levels of play. The wizard has the most game-changing spells, but can also be an easy target and has to choose spells carefully (scrolls might be more or less common in any given campaign setting so one cannot always rely on them), so I think the class takes the most skill to play out of the three and thus has the most potential for mistakes in character play and character building. With the results of this poll in mind, I am going to start another poll that excludes the three primary prepared casters from the list. [/QUOTE]
