You get FOUR VOTES. Ideally you are going to pick:
  • Use one vote for what you want to wield as your main weapon (ideally you might have an off weapon but this is the one you intend to use the most).
  • Use one vote for what you want to look like wearing (ie plate armor, robes, etc)
  • Use up to two votes for additional powers like fighting with a pet or casting magic.
Shields and dual wielding not included in poll options because I didn't believe they were worth making people spend one of their two addendum votes on it. I wanted to include race in the options (ie, humanoids, beastman, robot, slime, etc) but to be robust that would have required too many poll options.

If you you ideas to reformat the poll, let me know. I already hit the 30 option maximum.

Mace (and/or pollaxe), full harness, a horse (or a dog) and holy magic (seems like a oxymoron, but w/e).

Miscellaneous weapon = thorny whip preferably, or anything that can do impact that causes the target to recoil, infect/poison/draw blood and that is at a large range without requiring strength to use.

Suit of Armor and Naked = picked two here because I don't really mind and I'd rather "wear the blood of my enemies" style with some sort of mask as the best defense is to not get hit (and all points I usually have are all for poison resistance etc), but full plate helmets are always beautiful.

Something else = My ideal is Damage over Time so that I can cast and then just lay back and observe and vampirize on health (was going to pick Blood because of this, but it is not exactly what I look for as I prefer things to do with pestilence). The best is when it can inflict something onto the target and then I keep at range and wait things out, or cast an area of effect that affects the terrain and keep back and wait, especially when used in cluttered areas that impede movement.
- Here to show my support for normal gaming.

Thank you for existing! :bounce:

I don't see a Nature Magic, so I picked Earth since it seems like the closest.

I like rangers.

Cool, but I think it would really shine as a "class fantasy" in a group situation, providing cover to allies like some kind of indomitable captain america turtle-man.

Build up the gameplay around putting yourself between your allies and enemies instead of the normal moment-to-moment combat gameplay.

Bravely Default knights can dual wield shields and tank hits for allies, but it's quite anime.

Getting hit immediately while showing off dual shields is pretty good.

Well we only got a couple dozen voters, not a large sample size.
  • It seems that suits of armor are the most popular fantasy costume/armor type.
  • People seem to prefer swords, maces, and spears.
  • People want some sort of magically enhanced weapon attack.
  • Holy and dark seem to be the most popular types of elemental magic.
  • Pets are also popular.

Monk. Preferably with some animal companion that signifies his role as a shepherd of this world. And a tiny halo that subtly alludes to his piety.

This is AI slop, but you get it:

I went paladin loadout. While I have a lot of fun with other classes, none make my heart swell like the iconic holy knight. Full armor, polearm for main weapon, mace for secondary (when conditions are not ideal for the polearm), and holy magic (sunlight javelins, smiting flames, etc.) :knight:
