    It means exactly what Deathmage said. (i.e: Abjurer, Conjurer, Diviner, Enchanter, Illusionist, Invoker, Necromancer, or a Transmuter) :rolling:

    [​IMG] There are a few results that I find surprising:

    Kensai has more votes than Berserker! :eek:
    Archer leads 12-3 over Stalker! :toofar:

    The last question "Most liked Gender" needs some explanation. I voted female because I prefer my protagonist to be a female, but because of the romances choosing male is a superior choice. Unfortunate, but soon we'll get the Chloe romance mod and all will be good again! :love:

    Cavaliers all the way!! I'm your lady in shining armor ;) However, I do not see the point in the last question: whatever the popular vote it probably won't help you much. Me? I'm female so therefore my characture is (duh).

    I think my other favorite kits are Swashbuckler, Archer, and Monk. I'm not a big fan of Mages or spells for that matter (even though they are the handiest of people).

    I boggled at why people voted for the pure cleric. My game says that the kits have no disadvantages, is this right?

    [​IMG] I'm afraid I'm one of the sinners who voted "pure" cleric. The main reason is that I don't have a preference for one of the kits, so I thought voting no kit would be the most fair thing.
    I'd never play a single class cleric, kit or no kit - it would bore me to death. ;)

    My preference for specialist mage is invoker.

    I agree, the gender thing needs to be explained. I prefer my protagonist to be male, because I prefer to romance females. I do have some really awesome female pictures on my harddrive though that I much prefer to the male ones. ;)

    The best specialist mage class is Conjurer.
    It can use all spells except divination spells, and certainly gets the bonus slot in each spell level.
    But anyway, the best class is Sorcerer.

    Fine...I shall explain the gender thing. I had an extra question to fill out, because I was going to ask something else, but I forgot what it was, so I asked the first thing that came to my mind. :rolling:

    Hm, some of them were tough calls:

    Fighter: Berserker
    Ranger: Stalker - I was underwhelmed by the archer
    Paladin: I think Inquisitor and Cavalier are equally good
    Bard: Blade is my hands-down favorite
    Thief: Assassin - I love backstabbing
    Cleric: Priest of Lathander, but they're all good
    Druid: Totemic Druid
    Mage: Pure-class - I never really settle on a group of spells but am always experimenting
    Other: Barbarian - I just don't get into the hand-to-hand bit, maybe on my next run-through
