Tune in tomorrow for a "What's Your Current Character?" Thread, and soon we'll have a Cliche the 3rd for favorite Prestige classes.

You forgot the other class, "Can't-run-NWN2-on-my-computer."

[Kellen]

That's no class. Though I have heard several complaints about overhigh requirements. Perhaps that could be discussed.

[Menelanna]

I chose ranger. I love that class. you can fight well, and sneek well. I tend to make an archer out of my elven ranger.

[Tempest]

I voted bard-it's a very versatile, useful class that complements virtually any party composition, and does wonderfully for a wide and wierd assortment of skills. A little lacking in raw power, perhaps, but always good to have around.

[Lord Ernie]

Same as ever - Sorcerer. I just like blasting things, and sorcerers are unequalled when it comes to that. Also, if you know how to pick your spells, they've got as much defense as your best tank. They're not all that powerful on lower-level, but on high level they pack more punch than an entire team of fighters.

I voted Sorcerer, too. Mainly because it's the only class I've tried so far.

Am rather interested in creating a warlock, though. Anyone attempted to play one of those and lived to tell the tale?

[Kellen]

Me. Though I admit, he's yet to leave West Harbor.

Yep. Did a halfling warlock once-not the most powerful class in the world, but enjoyable nevertheless. Spamming brimstone and vitriolic chain/doom won me through the endgame without much of a hassle.

[Lord Ernie]

A warlock might be a caster, but he seems to have the opposite going on from other casters - in the early til mid-early levels, the class is a powerhouse: good damage output, can hit virtually anything, and nice secondary effects. Later on, however, their lack of a decent area attack (Eldritch Doom comes way too late, covers only 20 feet, and blasts allies) and general lack of versatility gets the better of them. IMO, they're just not optimal for the OC, where resting is so plentiful and easy their main advantage - unlimited spells/day - is lost. Worse, their most impressive power after Eldritch Doom (the one that turns the blasts into negative energy and drains levels) doesn't work on the enemies you'll be facing by then - undead.

I really like clerics myself, though my first run through was with a fighter/wizard/eldrith knight. Partly it's because I never get to play them in PnP gaming sessions, so I want to try something different when on the PC. But they are also an powerhouse class able to do nearly anything - you fight well, have excellent spells, can heal better than anyone else, and there's some very effective options. In nearly any situation there's something you can do, which isn't always the case for some classes, and the biggest problem is figuring out which of your options is going to be most effective. There's really no weak levels either, as you find with sorcerers/wizards at low level and most warriors at high level.

And of course late on most of your enemies are undead and they make a lovely sound when your turn attempts make them explode

[Celestine]

Sorceror for me as well though she is still in Neverwinter. Not sure if she's going to make it out of there but she's surviving at least.

[Kellen]

I've always been a lover of Clerics and Sorcerers. Wizards got a good boost when moving to 3rd ed to compete with the Sorcerer. Bards got a good boost too, which made them more fun. Warlocks are pretty fun too though.

[Kellen]

I'm voting cleric due to my new character. Check out the CC(Current Character) thread to see who I'm talking about.
