Assuming a relatively balanced game, what's your favorite class to play in a fantasy RPG and why? I just used the DnD core classes for the poll, as I'm really talking about fantasy d20 systems here but if your favorite isn't a core class just say.
I like to play clerics myself, particularly of the necromantic variety. I like clerics because I think in a world of magic and miracles it's a little lame to not have any powers yourself, but I hate the idea of not actually being able to fight physically at all as with most arcane classes. I go necromancer because I like playing sinister (but not evil) characters, so usually some variant of neutral alignment but worshipping an evil deity. Paladins are pretty fun too, as they fit the bill as being something more than just a regular mortal but still able to fight pretty well but I'd say I like Clerics a bit better because of their flexibility from both a mechanical and RP POV.
