Your opinions: class preference to each race

[Topgunben]

I am curious what you guys think about which class is the most quintessential for each race. I hate to use big words like the aforementioned, but there isn't a better one. This doesn't have to be min/max, just tell me what combinations you think fit best together.

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

[Swish2]

Barbarian = rogue
Dwarf = cleric
Dark elf = enchanter
Erudite = wizard
Gnome = wouldn't roll one, all useless
Halfling = druid
Half elf = bard
High elf = paladin
Iksar = necromancer
Human = SK
Ogre = warrior
Troll = SK
Wood elf = ranger

[Hibbs]

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

Dwarf.

If a Dwarf cannot be a class, do not play that class.

This, except Halfling. How do people even play inferior races without innate Sneak/Hide?

I guess Rogues are the exception, but they can get illusion masks for basically every race except the Master Race, so it's still wisest to roll Halfling there.

At first glance this bothered me, because bards are jack of all trades, and if you're going to pick a race to properly represent the jack of all trades, that would be human.

However, we're looking at the arrow going the other way. Assuming the race choice has been made, in this case half-elf, what would be the proper class? Given the mongrel status of half-elves, it may as well be the mongrel of all classes, bard. Thus your original entry is correct!

[Crawdad]

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

[mumpz]

just play whatever you want, man

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

Ogre.

Class is of little concern
