Clerics, wizards and rogues are great, but bards rock. And jazz.
What's your favorite class?
Rogue!
If well played, you have better survival chances (evasion, hiding/sneaking, etc.) and can also have a lot of fun with all your class abilities and skills.
Just make sure you have 14+ in constitution.
There's just something about the sorceror that works for me - especially since we included the staffs from 338 and ditched familiars. They still tend to fall over quickly, but manage to look good whilst doing it!

I have always enjoyed Wizard Class with magic and potions amd spells.
Here here for the druid!!!!!!!!
lower-middle class. I identify best with it.
Rogue--I like most of the skills (except sneaking) and appreciate not having to rest to recover any special abilities.
Bard
Wizards here: mastering the mysteries of arcane might, one book at a time.
Then rangers: 'cause we ALL want to be Aragorn.
Bards for fun.
Never a rogue.
though underpowered...nothing beats the good old hack 'n' slash of the melee based fighter.
*Sigh*
I doubt I shall ever understand why everyone hates druids. And the few other folk here who did vote for them probably play them as worshiping a god.

My vote seems to go in the Other category, no matter what I choose.
My all-time favorite is the swashbuckler (or as in 2nd Ed., a really tricked out fighter). My favorite right now is a dragon shaman, though. Auras, spider climb, breath weapon, AND a decent 2nd string fighter...skills? Who needs skills when you can use a breath weapon?
As for core classes, though, I have played rogues most often. Rangers are a lot of fun too, especially if you focus entirely on their bow prowess...and aim for the Order of the Bow Initiate prestige class.

Thief!! I mean, Rogue! Always been my favorite class, even back in 1st edition days.
Cleric and Paladin tie for next favorite. I used to hate Clerics, then, like Heathy, got stuck playing them )'cause no one else wanted to). Eventually, I learned to really enjoy that class.
Never liked Magic Users/Wizards. Appreciate them when played by others, but never been a big fan.
...Oh no...did I just resurrect this thread so that wizards (a class that I hate)could go above rogues (my favorite, besides druids)?
...Oh no...
(insert uncontrollable laughter here)
Wilder/Sorcerer/psionic theurge...
If it hasn't boomed yet it will boom, and if it doesn't boom I'll boom it some more...
BOOM!
Druids
I've always been a sucker for paladins, even though I don't really care for them mechanically in 3.x (luckily Pathfinder has made them mechanically interesting again).

I much prefer organic characters myself.
hehe you mean like compost? hehe who lets you play a shambling mound?

I like versatility and mobility, so Scout, Druid, Rogue, Ranger, Warlock, Archivist, Cloistered Cleric, and Barbarian are my faves. I'd like to try a ninja sometime.
My favorite class has to be the fighter. He has no spells, no divine protection. Isn't able to hide, or sneak away from a bad situation. Can't sing his way out of trouble. All he has is his weapons, his gear, quick thinking, and sheer determination to keep him alive.
Cleric, or maybe Psion. I love spellcasting, but I dislike some of the clunky restrictions like spellbooks, codes of conduct, arcane spell failure, etc.
Cleric has it all:
- Want to play a fighter? Cleric of the god of war.
- Want to play a thief? Cleric of the god of thieves.
- Want to play a magic-user? Cleric of the god of magic.
Etc., etc.
Go Wizard.
I have to go with Rogue. All the way back to Red Box D&D I had a fondness for the sneaky lil' scamps, and I feel like 3.x was very good to them (me gusta Sneak Attack muy mucho mas que Backstabbing).
However, I have just come off of a multi-year long campaign where I was the resident skill monkey and sneak thief, so I'm thinking that I'll be passing on that character type for awhile.
I can't believe I missed this Poll!!!! Mine is Rogue, closely followed by Ranger
Psion. Definitely psion. Although I'm quite fond of sorcerer as well.
I just don't think I can pick a real favorite...there's been so many great PCs, NPCs, and villains down through my years of every class, and there's great flavor and power potential for basically all of them. I guess if you held a gun to my head and said vote, I'd pick cleric -- the first character that I played in my original group. But that's more of a sentimental than a 3.5/d20/OGL answer.
In D&D BECMI/RulesCyclopedia, my favourite character ever was a cynic thief 'Punisher-style' specialized in killings (he used almost exclusively Move Silently/Hide in Shadows/Hear Noises, and dual-wielded two Longswords at Grand Mastery level), so I would say:
Rogue.
(better yet, a multiclass Rogue/Fighter)
But I have a personal love for Sorcerers (KABOOM!!!), Monks (Hadouken! what, they still don't have it? meh...), and Paladins (it's so HARD to roleplay them in a meaningful way that when you succeed is satisfying to the utmost).
Monks (Hadouken! what, they still don't have it? meh...),
I found the feat, check PHII
It does like 3D6 damage with a ranged touch attack.
Clerics are my new favorite, but I'm slightly biased right now. Prior to this, wizards and rangers. Wizards for the variety of spells I could know and use (and the versatility and creativity I've always liked to have), rangers because they've always been self-sufficient fighters for me.
Cleric. I mean, I have all the power in the party. Someone mentioned it earlier, but really, do you want the cleric mad at you?
I mean, sure, he could heal you while you were conscious...but you made him made at dinner last night so he's gonna whack this kobold and THEN stabilize you.
If you're lucky he'll heal you awake again...
(And if you are using the Book of Experimental Might healing rules...you don't even have to heal them, they just touch you and its all good! It leads to even more jokes then the standard "I want the cleric to touch me" does.... )
Monks (Hadouken! what, they still don't have it? meh...),I found the feat, check PHII
It does like 3D6 damage with a ranged touch attack.
I know, but sadly it's not Monk-exclusive... any character can use it, draining 2 Stunning Fist attempts.
Plus, 3d6 as a 'move action to charge, standard action to fire' is... lame (IMHO), although it's a force effect.
