[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3648503, member: 892"] QFT. That said, I love the Warlock as a PC too. Knight - I liked this one. Finally, a Defensive Fighter that the monsters can't easily ignore! And an easy to use code of honour (as opposed to Paladin arguments ad infinitum). Crusader - Also fun. Again, you can be the holy warrior without worrying about your DM and you having different ideas about the paladin code. The random powers bit requires you get some playing cards or something, but when you think about it, it is automatic in giving you a power to use every round, without you needing to spend an action, so that gives them quite the edge over the Warblade, and especially the poor Swordsage. Actually, all three classes look neat, but I have only played the Crusader. I would say that their is a chance for power abuse if skill-boosting items become common, as many of the W/S powers run on skills Swashbuckler looks underpowered, I agree. Maybe with that feat from Scoundrel, it doesn't suck so much, but that requires three levels of rogue. Hexblade is weak but fun. I had to cheese out like you wouldn't believe to make it work (the DMG II Stunning Strike item, before modifications a la MIC, for example). Psion. I love them, especially the Shaper (and the Complete Psionic nerf does not exist in my continuity). That said, many of my friends are still anti-psionic, so I had to wait a while to play one. Factotum from Dungeonscape. A bit weak, but wayyyyy cool. I am having a blast, and am spending all my feats on "Font of Inspiration" from the wotc website. I am staying single-classed, so most of the cheesy options will not be activated. I do wish that the arcane spells could be chosen on the fly rather than set for the day (and a similar thing for the 19th level ability, not that my character will ever get that high). But that is a personal preference. [/QUOTE]
