[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8053351, member: 6988941"] What I personally look for in a character is being able to be involved and helpful in everything the party does. So to me the winners are Bard and Wizard. The latter has the spells to be ever useful and the latter makes up for a more limited spell list by also being a skill monkey. Both are classes that are well set up to get some spotlight time but can also provide good support. I have a particular fondness for the Sword Bard and Bladesinger as instances who also get to be respectable melee combatants from time to time. I'm also particularly fond of both Rogue and Fighter. Neither fulfills the full "I want to help with everything" itch that Bard and Wizard do, but I find both well designed to be satisfying in their niche. It helps that both have subclasses to get some Wizard spells and that both lend themselves to lots of multiclass possibilities. [/QUOTE]
