"Curiosity killed the cat....threw it in the river", wow, I haven't heard a reference to discworld in a while...I guess obscure but good games do get around after all...anywho...top ten..lets see.

1.Mage(specialist or generalist, simply the coolest class EVER)
2.Kensai (if properly dueled they are amazing)
3.Inquisitioner(simply one of the coolest roleplaying personalities)
4.Other Paladin
5.Asassin(they suck, but hey, the idea is really cool)
6.Thief
7.Wizard Slayer(Again, the idea is cool)
8.Barbarian
9.good ol' reliable Fighter
10.Monk (He has to get a spot because he is just so kick ass powerful, but I don't really like him too much. Too blase'

Based on own experiance and fun of playing i have the following top ten

1: Sorcerer - Once you know what spells to choise a Sorcerer is so much more useful then an ordenairy mage.. It just needs more practice and understanding
2: Necromancer and Conjurer - Because in my opinion the Illution and Divination spells in BG2 are the weakest schools
3: Bezerker/Mage -because you can wear braches and a Kensai Mage can't
4: Cleric Mage - Incase you wanna be able to cast everything and have armor too
5: Beastmaster - he's no so much super as a character but it's great for roll playing and getting to know which staves are good and to use the Ranger Steath.
6: Assassin Because you get to incredible levels anyway you have enough point to throw into the more important skills. (Stealth, Lock picking and Detecting)
7: Cavelier
8: Fighter/Thief
9: Blade
10: Priest of Helm

Sorcerers are definitely cool, I should have put them right up there, I forgot, but better and cooler than a Mage?!....Grrrr...I've killed men for less

1. Necromancer - I just really like them; great for roleplaying
2. Sorcerer - they can handle any situation at any time
3. Cleric/Mage - The ability to use cleric spells in sequencers and contingencies is great; I still hate Aerie though...
4. Kensai/Thief - ridiculous backstabs, I've gotten 200+ in one shot
5. Berserker - Best kit for single class fighter, IMHO
6. Monk - boring as hell, but a solid performer
7. Cavalier - I like this Paladin kit the best, the Inquistor is a munchin kit if I ever saw one; come on, dispel magic at TWICE your level, please.
8. Swashbuckler - I like this kit, no backstab, but unlike most thieves they can actually hit what they are aiming at.
9. Fighter/Mage - Multi-class Elven fighter/mage, a classic
10. Priest of Lathander - Boon of Lathander gives you an extra attack per round, so, dual-wielding and improved hasted this Cleric can achieve 6 attacks per round; very nice.

I dont know about you guys, and I dont have a list, but my all time fav. is the assassin. There was a time there when the game actually resembled Deus Ex or System Shock in terms of ways to do things.

I haven't tried that many of the classes, but here you have my Top 5 list!

1) Mage (the coolest class ever No spec (does anyone even know what Istaron means?))
2) Necromancer (not as good as a normal mage, but hell, fun for roleplay!)
3) Monk (Haiya!)
4) Wizards Slayer (not for soloing, but the only thing that can be close to threat a wizard)
5) Kensai (rp-character)

My top:
1) Undead Hunter
2) Inquisitor
3) Wizard Slayer (as was stated above, I just like the idea http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif)
4) Swashbuckler
5) Fighter/thief
6) Fighter
Actually, that's all. I do not know what is wrong with me, but I hate mages and clerics http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/erm.gif It is not about their power or something, just my role-playing tastes.

1. Gym class-C'mon guys it has to be #1
2. Shop class-I always did nothing and still got an A
3. Lunch-Another easy time of day
4. Study Hall-Best time of day to have it was last period of the day get all that homework nonsense done(by the way I really have a problem with homework mainly because some stupid people, mostly principals and numbskull teachers, who said "At school you are here to learn not fool around" funny if I have homwork I have to do that stupid shit at home too.)
5. Math-It was just easy.
6. History-Only thing I was remotely interested in.
7. Science-Once when the teacher left the class for a moment someone lit a fart with the bunson burner, and where else can you play with fire in school without getting in trouble.
8. Health-We got to look at naked chicks on TV. Health would've scored better because of this, but we did watch the birth of a child, flat out gross.
9. English-Just plain sucked. "Me fail english that's umpossible."
10. Detention-Wasn't really a class but I was there enough to be graded for it.
