    My favourite to RP would be Warrior/Mage, with one weapon speciality, long sword/Katana.

    The problem is that I _hate_ elves. So there's a little problem, you see...

    Human Inquisitor. Elven F/T as close second.

    EDIT: As funfactor as opposed to role-playing. I don't roleplay this game much.

    Too many to bother mentioning, but I like playing as an Archer, simple to play but so deadly at high levels he could potentially kill most enemies before reaching him, I've played as a F/M a fair bit recently and I'm not really sick of him yet, the Blades a near duplicate of the F/M apart from some major differences, I've also recently discovered from Yoshimo how powerful Bounty Hunters can really be in the right hands :evil:

    Human Calvalier, a force of good. Call me simple, but I enjoy relaxing in this game, and there is nothing more relaxing then a PC with a black and white view of the world.

    Elven soreceror. Power gaming, I know... But I just cannot choose another class... He is so addictive! Going to solo him soon...

    Stalkers - I know they aren't exactly uber-powerful or particularly tough, but I just like RPing as a powerful fighter who prefers stealth and striking from the shadows. Race doesn't matter - there's only three who can be stalkers and all of them can romance Jaheira, which seems to make the most sense for that character.

    Half-Elf Blades run a very close second - can do just about anything, and Blades can fight, cast, lie, cheat and steal with the best of them.

    I love the kensai, and is quite fond of elfs.

    but the one who gave me lots of fun must be a halfling assasin :)

    I wanna Drow! Okay, so the closest I can get is a stinking surfacer, but whatever, I love Elves!

    And i think that Sorcerers rule! Imagine hurling 7 fireballs ate a rampaging horde of svirfneblin?

    I would never choose a paladin, and I dislike clerics only a bit less. :nolike:

    My absolute favorite is half-elven sorcerer. In almost every game I end up building this kind of character, no matter what the game is. I guess #2 would be the 'Thief' -class, as I rather like the idea. :evil:

    [​IMG] The best class has to be half-elf blade! he can do anything! just put cast stone skin, mirror image, blur, spell turning and then set a few skull trap spells and lure ur enemy in! :p
    And when soloing ur lvls climb like mad! Just do all the side quest u can possibly do before you continue the main quest and you can hit lvl 30 or higher that way! So with use any item and spike trap and time trap just think of how dangerous he/she can be!
    I killed Firkraag in no time! Had vhalilors helm and cast simmilaricum and put some traps down then got into battle! Died before he could do anything! Nothing can stand against the blade in mid to late lvls!....... the blade can even (at higher lvls) max out possible armor class with no problem! oh and dont forget the offensive spin :) and the defensive spin with a ring of free action! :D
    Now thats a class, a little overpowering, but a excellent class non the less!

    For sure Darkstrike :thumb: ...have you had a look at the Blade Guide by Scythesong up on SP? It's marvellous what you can do with them. I used to HATE bards of ALL kinds before I read that...and now they are my third favourite class!!

    (Mage/Thief 1st, Sorcerer 2nd :D )

    Also...you might want to try out the Mage/Thief...they can be pretty mad as well, if used right! :)

    Actually i did Faraaz! I used to hate bard classes (always thought of them as useless) untill I read his guide on blade class, and ever since I think its one of the best classes in the game!
    I had played every class except any of the bard clases..... but I just dont know what my favourite is! Why is the sorcerer so good? :confused:

    Elven Sorcerer, but when I get really bored and just want to take soemthing out I usually play a fighter, dualed to thief immediately after dealing with Bodhi. Fun taking out Aran with a thief :)

    My favorite is definitely the Elvish fighter/theif.

    Elves are just cool to me and there's something satifying about scoring a huge backstab...

    Do the same thing with a Halfling Fighter/Thief...they're infinitely cooler! :) Plus, they get much better bonuses to their thieving abilities.
