Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh yes... I also know much of the D&D... xp although i put down on the poll a fighter class, I do truely like mage classes, but find them very difficult to start. I must say Sorcerer and Soulknife are very cool classes, although Sorcerer at later levels. Even though I like these classes, lately I've been DM. While I do enjoy plotting ways to try and destroy my friends characters or starting a war that they are forced into against overwhelming odds just so they overcome these problems, I have been wanting to play a character for some time.

You and your spelljamming. stare

Erm...Yeah, Rangers and Paladins aren't fighters. They're half-casters. Also, technically, Rogues and Bards are the same. They both came about when they split the old Rogue class. So thayed are "Other", they're part of yet another sub-heading, mayhaps "Knave."

if you don't like the poll's structure, make your own. besides, paladins and rangers still slash(or shoot) things aka combatant, and other still works for rogue and bard.

For that, you must die, but not really.

There's nothing quite as fun as doing 54 points of damage to an oponant with 8 hp.

I always used to play an apprentice Bard in our low-level games. Mostly because it was more fun to resolve issues with roleplay than rollplay (letting the dice decide). While my party were busy trying to snipe the dire wolves in Ravenloft (yes, this was a decade ago under 2nd ed, so sue me), I banged my walking stick on the ground, shouted "Hey", and got all the stupid puppies to jump into our camp's firepit.

Oh, but for high-level games (again, 2nd ed, I haven't played 3rd), I liked playing a Monk. Mostly because of a ruling TSR gave that a monk's dodge ability could actually be used, on a successful roll, to dodge a Wall of Fire cast inside a bubble. The words from the rep: "Uh...I guess he steps on the cold spots or something".

Actually, on starmen.net, I was the DM for a totally roleplay based RPG, but I've never updated . . .
` Anyways, I really like the priests! In real life I'm agnostic . . . but anyways, the preist is allowed okay weapons, and like Ness, can constantly fix up everyone while at the same time having some pretty good offensive spells which I never use because I'm too busy healing. It reminds me of EarthBound . . . well, actually, it was just for strategic reasons, as in the possibility of offensive casting even with the healing spells used the most.
