What is the Best D&D Class

[lumberofdabeast]

Psion.

Because spell slots fail.

[jlousivy]

true that.

[PnP Fan]

I voted other, because I really do prefer to DM. :-)

[Nevermore]

Druid.....

and Barbarian.

[Leon]

i Voted "Other" - The best Class is the one that suits you and your concept for a character

[its_all_ogre]

my favourite is wizard, though i like rogues and rangers too, but many dms do not allow you to do the stuff that actually makes those classes cool.

[Indon]

My favorite D&D class is the one which I happen to be playing, generally.

There is no 'best' class in a game where winning and losing intentionally have no definition.

[Goff]

Rouge - the spank attack and bedfinding abilities are total winners for me.

[CHASE THE HERO]

mine would be the monk. i mean seriously i think anyone who can deal 8d6 with their bare hands while being able to fall like 80ft should be considered an great.
and what the heck is a spank attack i mean seiously you dont just seak up to a dragon and slap it in the butt, but the humor potential is great

[Illiterate Scribe]

I like the warblade, but that's because I always surround him in an Outlands Planar Bubble. Basically, you have no magic/su abilities (but I do).

But for sheer power and concept - you can't go wrong with an archivist. Wizards in medium armour with the ability to auto-stun anything, and that have Righteous Might/Divine Power/Heal?

Count me in.

[Thrawn183]

... anything from Book of Nine Swords. Right now I'm really liking warblade.

[Roderick_BR]

Best: Cleric. As people said, good defense, can fight as a fighter, and spells to fight enemies vulnerable only to magic, and the always useful healing spells.
They do lack in stealth and these rogue-ish stuff. Druid is better in widerness and stealth, but his defense is not as good as the cleric's. Wizard still powns in sheer power alone.

Favorite: Paladin. I just like the "knight in shining armor" concept :P

[Generic PC]

Warlock. Rockin'

Agreed. they might not be as powerful as wizards at level 20, but the eldritch tie in (with demons) makes them fun to roleplay

[Armads]

Druid.

They're fun to roleplay and are powerful.

[the_tick_rules]

fighther. why you ask, because i enjoy playing them the most. i haven't read the thread but i'm sure people are debating what class would beat the other class and so on.

[Dark_Wind]

Wizard, by far. Sheer power and versatility wins out here. Plus, they're really, really fun to play, and the vast spell list lends itself to varied concepts and builds.

[Sampi]

I vote rouge. Because I just want that extra color on my cheeks.

[NullAshton]

You misspelled Rogue as Rouge...

I chose Rogue(incorrectly spelled as Rouge), because I just like them. Sort of fragile, but sneak attack means there's a bit more tactical variety, and it has a gazillion skills for fun out of combat. Not to mention a lot of in-combat uses, if you have a DM that let you bluff mooks into stepping off a cliff.

[Druid]

The name says it all. I love the druid's flavor. Though I will admit that a chaotic skill monkey is very fun to play.

[krunchyfrogg]

The most fun I've ever had was with a Dwarf Barbarian/Cleric. Power-wise, a single-classed Cleric, Druid, or Wizard probably rules the day though.

I've always wanted to powerplay a Elf Cleric archer. Cleric as the only class ever taken, but spend all those feats on archery-related stuff. You'd have a combat master and full spellcaster rolled into one!

[ravenkith]

Overall? wizard.

But at what level? Under what circumsstances?

In ravenloft, I love me some cleric munchiness.

In eberron, it's all about the warlock psion shaper, yo.

PRCs allowed? Right now I love me some abjurant champion: best gish class ever. Just wish it was ten levels long, instead of five.

[reorith]

a barbarian/druid is always awesome.

[Innis Cabal]

HEALER! by far the healer

[Viscount Einstrauss]

Rogue, because I'm f*#&ing James Bond.

It's just how I always find myself playing. I like to MacGuyver my way out of situations through a combination of trickery and clever tactics, both of which end up harder when I try to play something without the mass skillage to work it.

"We're stuck in an antimagic prison, and they put the monk is steel stocks. I think we're boned."
"No way. Before we got thrown in here I slipped three inches of twine and a mirror shard into my sleeves. In the cell I've got a bucket, some dirt, moldy bread, and a live rat. Now to escape. With science."

[Sporge]

I've grown a huge love of sorcerers, they are just awesomely powerful, make great leaders, and honestly as long as you can get some extra prestige class on it it isn't as barren as the PHB seems.

Second, Druid, so you don't have either up there and I feel sad....

third is rogue though...

[Tao the Ninja]

Favorite powerwise: Wizard
Favorite to play: Ranger or Sorceror

[Crosswinds]

Gestalted Factotum//Warblade is always nice for fun and epic wins.

[Deth Muncher]

How does someone find a thread three years old?

[oxybe]

best? wizard, cleric or druid. casters in general, really.

why? most options available, really. if i want to make a fighter-type, i'll probably go cleric or druid in all honesty and reflavor. the melee classes are too "locked" into their choices, barring the optional retraining rules, while for a caster it's usually a matter of waiting until the next morning.

i like having my options open to me and the non-casters, regretfully, just can't keep up.

And why do they post in it despite the clear rule against thread necromancy? Please don't.
