| Seems most people don't like the barbarian, why? Is it because of armor restrictions? |

I was chosen wizard
...out of fondness, what is depending on that arcane arts are truly an Art, a friend and a way of life (as we know from the dogmatics of the Lady Magic). Beraing an aptitude to the weawe is a true gift. And for what I prefer wizads for sorcerers is, that they have a deeper understanding of the arcane; discipline, as they know that it isn't (just) a given or innate ability but a Gift, that one shall love for what it is and not for what it can be distorted. |

| The bard. Because it's an underpowered, underrated, underplayed, roleplay-heavy class. Course, it being my first class ever gives it a soft spot in my heart. :) |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

| I like paladins, wizards, and rogues. I've had the most fun playing paladins (and not goody-two-shoes ones) than anything else, so that's my pick. |

Until 4th Edition my favorite class has always been Wizard.
Before NOW, they had the most versatile function in the game.
My favorite character actually started as an Illusionist; but only because I knew once I had the spells of the Illusionist I was going to dual-class into Wizard to rack up some serious spells...and thus was born Dalor Nal'Raesik Darden (DND).
Now, I'm leaning toward Warlock or Rogue for 4th Edition...and trying really hard to like the new rules; but nearly three decades as a wizard player is making it hard to do! |
The Old Grey Box and AD&D for me! |

Assassin.
(Sir, what do you mean, not core? I know it's not on your list, but it's right there on pages 28-30 of the PHB, right between the thief and the monk, not off in an appendix like the bard or introduced in Unearthed Arcana like the barbarian. And why are there level titles in your list? "Rogue" is just a first-level thief, while "sorcerer" and "wizard" are 9th- and 11th-level magic-users. And where, pray tell, is the illusionist?)  |

Now now Wolly, dont get greedy and claim all titles to yourself. You are already THE HAMSTER!
For me it is Druid now, but that is just at this moment because I am thinking about a nature campaign myself. Actually it would have been an Arcane Hierophant, but thats up on the list like Assassin. 
Another favorite would be the "cloistered cleric of Mystra" ...
In case you didnt notice: Both of those are somewhat wizardish.

Amongst the choices I voted for wizard. The combat strategy involved in spellcasting is more fun to me than a melee-oriented character.
I also really like cleric-thief, because it offers such a nice skillset package of stealth, backstabbing, healing, spell buffs, locks and traps, trapsetting, and offensive spells. |

| How about a monk-turned-rogue who moonlights as a bard? |
Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

I voted for Rogue, but it was a really close call between that and Cleric. I love the versatility of clerics with the choice of 2 domains giving great range of choice of special abilities to help flesh out servants of different religions, not to mention they're solid melee choices with spellcasting ability and can heal themselves.
But the rogue's skill versatility just appeals to me on personal level. When I'm in the role of player, I frequently start off first level as a rogue and then multi-class into whatever my real concept of the character is. |

| I'm a druid person. I love that they are so adaptable and I'm a total treehugger myself, so I play druids quite frequently. I'm also a big fan of rangers, bards, and sorcerers. |

| It depends on what I feel like at the moment. Paladin was my first class, and I'll always have a soft spot for the "death before dishonor" creed, but as I've gotten older the ranger just seems to be more my speed. However, I play a fine cleric if I do say so myself. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

One class I've never enjoyed playing much is a Cleric. I always thought that (in role-playing) it was too hard for me to preach or what have you to other characters. I used to be a Youth Minister in my younger years, and now I'm a Priesthood holder...so it isn't something that interested me in games.
I did pull of a rather ruthless Paladin once. Yes, ruthless is a word I managed with this fella. So blinded by his church's teachings, the actually fought several holy wars on its behalf. This was in Birthright, however, so things are a bit different there. As Thane of Talanie, he had a rather zealous and close-minded following anyway! |

| Hmm now that 4E is here, I kinda of have a soft spot for the Warlock. A fun class to play IMO. |

| I typically play Clerics because of my interest in fantasy-dogma, but lately I have really been enjoying myself as a Minotaur Barbarian in 4.0 |

| Oh I am also delving into a Warlord in a new 4E campaign my brother is starting. An Orc Warlord from Many-Arrows looking to create some sort of trade with Chult (accompanied by a Netherese Swordmage on the path to becomign an Umbriri who is also going to Chult for his realm, albeit for different reasons...) |

That's part of the reason that I've only played one single-class cleric... I tried to do several different versions of a dwarven fighter-cleric, but never could seem to go more than two sessions with one. I managed a few sessions with my single-class cleric, though. Faiths & Avatars finally made me want to try doing one, and I created a specialty priest of Lathander. His name was J. Darson Abrilith (yeah, I know it's not as Realms-ish as it could be), and his personality was based around that of Major Charles Emerson Winchester III from M*A*S*H. |

As Winchester would undoubtedly say, "Ah-ha-Ha-HA!"
Okay, I'm creating an NPC because the druid in the group I'm running decided he wanted to take Leadership for his 12th level feat. I agreed to it, but let him know he wasn't going to control the cohort, that would totally be me. After a couple of days, I decided on a Pixie Rogue named Lexi. She's a cross between Tinkerbell and the brownies from Willow.
I'm sure he was thinking of getting a burly hulk of a fighter or something, but since the party is fighter heavy already (Locked door? SMASH! Who cares, I can survive the trap [or so they think...]).
The only real change I made was in the pixie's size. I always thought that pixies should be Tiny or smaller, not the Small size their listed at in MM. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

That's always bugged me, too. The current conception of faeries is a tiny winged person, often no more than 6 inches tall, if that high. And yet, in D&D, they're always at least a couple feet tall.
That was one of the things I liked about the Seelie Sprites from the Spellbound boxed set -- they could change their size to just a few inches tall. This is also duplicated in the template for them in Volume 2 of the Realms Bestiaries by Eric L. Boyd and Thomas M. Costa. |

From what I recall about Ed's words on the matter, priests of the Realms aren't necessarily required to proselytize. Remember, most people in the Realms worship many gods. |
