Your opinions: class preference to each race

[EpicAdventure]

allow me to dispel the discussion here as there is only one valid answer:

Ogre.

Class is of little concern

[Foxplay]

Ogre - Warrior
Troll - Shadow knight
Barbarian - Shaman
Iksar - Monk
Dwarf - Cleric
Halfling - Rogue
Gnome - Magician
Human - Paladin
Half elf - Rogue
Wood Elf - Druid
High Elf - Enchanter
Dark Elf - Necromancer
Erudite - Wizard

[beargryllz]

Barbarian = Warrior
Dwarf = Warrior
Dark elf = Shadow Knight
Erudite = Wizard
Gnome = Mage
Halfling = Rogue
Half elf = Bard
High elf = Enchanter
Iksar = Monk
Human = Paladin
Ogre = Warrior
Troll = Shaman
Wood elf = Druid

[Caldwin]

Barbarian = Warrior
Dwarf = Paladin
Dark elf = Necromancer
Erudite = Wizard
Gnome = Mage
Halfling = Cleric
Half elf = Bard
High elf = Enchanter
Iksar = Monk
Human = Ranger
Ogre = Shadow Knight
Troll = Shaman
Wood elf = Druid

[loramin]

Barbarian = shaman
Dwarf = rogue
Dark elf = wizard
Erudite = enchanter
Gnome = magician
Halfling = druid (and cleric)
Half elf = bard
High elf = paladin
Iksar = monk and necromancer
Human = None, humans are teribad (but if I have to, cleric)
Ogre = shadow knight
Troll = ogre
Wood elf = ranger

The above is literally my alt list, and I even have a spreadsheet in Google Sheets where I plotted out various permutations of the above (I might need professional help).

If I were doing it all over though I'd probably change most of that up though.

Combos of race/class I personally like/find in tune:

Barbarian = shaman / warrior
Dwarf = cleric / warrior
Dark elf = wizard / rogue
Erudite = wizard / paladin
Gnome = magician / necromancer
Halfling = druid / rogue
Half elf = bard / ranger
High elf = paladin / enchanter
Iksar = monk / necromancer
Human = rogue / cleric / monk
Ogre = shadow knight / shaman / warrior
Troll = shaman / warrior
Wood elf = ranger / druid

Here's my list

Barbarian = Shaman
Dwarf = Cleric
Dark Elf = Necromancer
Erudite = Wizard
Gnome = Magician
Halfling = Rogue
Half-Elf = Bard
High Elf = Enchanter
Iksar = Monk
Human = Paladin/Ranger
Ogre = Warrior
Troll = Shadow Knight
Wood Elf = Druid

I did a thread like this many years ago and this is exactly how I feel as well. Dwarf Cleric is the one that ends up feeling most incorrect, that race is definitely more melee based, but Human ultimately feels like a better choice for Paladin (I don't first think of short people when that class comes to mind in a traditional RPG sense), so Dwarves are basically just left with Cleric in this fun little theoretical.

HOWEVER, if you add in "Berserker" as a class choice, then you can give that to Ogres and give Warrior to Dwarves, which makes everything feel great. Oh, and then also shove Clerics into the Human category. That vanilla class deserves such a vanilla race.

i agree with you on dwarf cleric. i was trying to limit myself to one class per race with no duplicates. ive always wanted to level a dwarf paladin.

There's definitely not enough, and to barrel roll with a flaming sword is a special thing.

[tsuchang]

Human monk
Iksar necro
Dark Elf rogue
Troll Shaman
That's it.
I've played all the classes and races and these do it for me.
OH, and if I had to make an enchanter it would be a high elf, cuz I could change his looks and not have to see that smug prig.
