What other base classes are you talking about? Also I noticed the misspelling of rogue right after I posted but I didn't want to repost. |

Voted rogue, I just love those buggers and city adventures.
Second is sorcerer, this love derives from the BG computer games and multiple fireballs and dragon breath... awesome! |

mitchellboeck: There are several base classes in the Player's Handbook II, the Complete Adventurer, Complete Arcane and Complete Divine, as well as other sources like Book of Horror, Unearthed Arcana (as compilation of alternative rules
) and Libris Mortis as well, I think. I may have missed plenty

I've lost track of recent realmslore, since my campaigns are still in the 1370ies. :-) --- When talking about rules (and related stuff) I always refer to 3.5e unless explicitly noted. |

-Of just those basic classes, Rogue. Almost every one of my characters, it seems, has a level of Rogue, for the massive amount of skill point, class skills, and the +1d6 Sneak Attack, which is always handy. Of the classes in other books, Beguiler is my favorite- it's a Rogue with magic. What's not to like?
A strangely unexpected choice coming from someone using the name of Faerun's greatest Arcanist.
As for my choice, wizard most definitely! (Why bring a knife when you can conjure it out of thin air?!)
-That's why I said I would've voted 'Beguiler' if it was a choice. It's more or less a Rogue with spellcasting benefits. |

Oh okay. I know about those but I don't consider them "base" classes. The classes I consider base are the ones that are in Player's Handbook 1, since a lot of ones in other books tend to be broken. (And there is only room for 15 or so poll answers :)) |

I chose Druid. My fondest memories are of my druids. I sat outside cities entire sessions as I refused to go into populated areas with my parties. I also made a road of Apple trees spanning a few hundred miles in the fashion of Johnny Appleseed. Also with the right feats, the ability to alter the weather, or smite people disturbing my grove with an ice storm as a little bird was always fun. Not always the best dungeon crawlers, but druids have the most utility as far as doing some impressive things outdoors. Armies tend to lose morale after you make him live under square inched sized hail for a few days. |

Honestly, I've played just about all the classes mentioned (except for paladins and monks, because I'm not particularly good at 'lawful' types), and have always found something to like about each class. But I finally decided on rangers, because... well, I guess because of their generally independence from society, their freedom to roam the wilds as they choose (being diabetic in the RW, this really isn't an option for me), and that they manage to do so much without relying on magic (well, not much, anyways). Plus, the 'favored enemy' class ability can come in really handy (sometimes those few points of extra damage can determine whether a battle ends in victory or defeat). |

Doesn't matter which edition of the game it is, my favorite class will always be wizard. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |
