You must pick a class, not limited to any genre, type or setting.

>>52329580
Spellblade.
>why?
Because it can do everything. You wanna use your sword? Go for it. You wanna use magic? You can. Fuck limitations.

>>52329580

I choose to play as an autistic meme-wizard.

>>52329580
Robot.

I like robots.

Spellslinger because guns are magic and magic is guns.

Wizard because I'm boring, but not boring enough to go martial.

Viking
Its a bit like a barbarian, but with minimal magic, mostly consisting of rune magic, enchanting, and breathing fire to scare people

>>52329580
why is the knight who is wearing cavalry armor (in this case a plate harness that doesn't cover the inside of the legs) have a great-sword (a weapon that is difficult if not impossible to wield from horse back)?

warrior-poet
IDK if it's actually a class in any game but it's my favourite and most often used trope

>>52329580
Hyperdrive 101 I guess. Seems like a pretty good way to become King of Humanity.

Ninzard. A ninja wizard. Why? Because I want to izuna drop people magically through all plains. The king; magically izuna dropped, The BBEG; magically izuna dropped, the fabric of reality; magically izuna dropped.

>>52329788
Because he's not on a horse, duh.

>>52329788
because no one cares about that except autists

it looks nice

>>52329898
Your post reminds me of doom penguin

Arcane Gunslinger, because I want to inscribe runic spells on my bullets, I want to shoot curses at someone, I want to pull countless flintlocks out of the air and mow down hordes with them. I like guns and I like magic.

Also that pic of the guy firing blue light out of a rifle is cool as fuck.

>>52329580
also how come no one besides the knight have a battle weapon like a bow pole-arm or shield? also the ranger's armor resembles boiled leather armor (which is a western armor style) and has a disc guard on their sword (almost exclusively Chinese/ Japanese).

>>52329580
Gunslinger.

>>52330028
And now that I read the thread, someone else already picked ARCANE gunslinger, which is infinitely cooler. I feel foolish.

Samurai. Always a samurai.

>>52329903
yeah but if he was intending to fight on horseback why would he be carrying a great-sword instead of a lance? If he was intending to fight on foot, why doesn't he have more armor at the front?

>>52329927

Warmancer
I cast Panzers.

>>52330025
Because adventurers don't fight in "battles", dumbass.

>>52329788

He's a bandit using whatever he can maybe to steal.

>>52330066
Spellslinger works the same as Arcane Gunslinger in 3.5finder and I mentioned it earlier.

>>52329580
Nomad.

Get those rad bonuses to traveling, loads of adventure, and a caravan of friends to come with. What's not to love?

Warrior, fighter, knight... whatever you want to call it.

A shield, sword and just fight in the thick of it.

>>52329580
Paladin.
Because I love paladins. Love the fluff, love what they are meant to be. And I always play them or the equivalent, and portray them as an idealized version of myself. And then I take steps in becoming that person. They helped me when therapy couldn't.

>>52329580
A monk so that I can be the best person I can be.

>>52329680
>spellblade
>gish

Why can't anyone come up with a good name for this archetype?

>>52329788
He dismounted to give his opponent an honourable duel.

>>52329580
Warped warrior or whatever it is. Just summon the right tools for the job and teleport ingredients around.

>>52330025
Maybe she bought that sword from an Eastern blacksmith that moved to the west.

>>52329580
Ah, I'm bad at choosing anything if I can't actively play around with the system to create the most silly and niche possible build that is still useable.
I took too long.
No I'm a commoner, with no levels.

>>52329580
Mystics.

There's somethign to be said for someone with a broad selection of seemingly weak skills that manages to use them in ways no one expects to turn the situation around, even if he isn't the main hero, or the best fighter, or the sorcerer supreme.

I have a thing for underdogs winning the war, if not the battles.

Alchemist.

>>52331002
Gish was the original name for the archetype, back in the late seventies, when the githyanki called their fighter magic user class 'gish'.

>>52329580
God

Bounty Hunter.
I like playing as a rogue, engineer or cleric a lot and a bounty hunter can kind of be a mix of the three. Also helps that they appear in almost every setting too.

>>52329580
Escalation Mage.
Or some extremely anti-magical knight class.

Blue Mage, specifically the FFXI version.

Because it had the most options of any one class, it had a ton of depth, and you could do a lot of different things with it as opposed to most other class being pretty narrowly defined. Plus it was fun going out and learning spells by fighting things. It would make a cool Tabletop. Lass but would require the GM to do a lot of extra stuff for it to work well.

>>52332657
Spellblade is a good name.

>>52329580
Thrallherd.

Because whenever I'm asked to think of something like this I default to what I want to be.

Exactly like you said, they're only almost exclusively chinese and japanese. He falls into the "almost" group that imported some weeb shit

Also what defines a battle weapon?

Everyone but the cleric and illusionist have some form of bladed weapon that can be used to kill someone, in battle.

Monk because fuck needing armor, I just want to sit in a room thinking about nothing and only stopping to light more incense, or beat someone to death, in which case nothing will keep me from giving you some astral knife-hands that kill you so hard your mother forgets she ever gave birth to you

Why? Wonderful blend of spells and sorcery. Ability to summon and control lesser undead too all while keeping your old intelligence and personality.

It's pretty ideal to me. Necromancy is hands down my favorite kind of magic as well.

this, honestly. I have preferences, but part of the joy of ttrpgs is trying all the different characters and classes

Wild mage. I know that it is in on the spectrum of "That Guy", but I really like to role play a dude that finds himself with a power he didn't ask and that he cannot control.
Also, it brings a couple of good laughs at the table if the DM is not a dick about it.

>>52329580
King

When I need to kick some's ass, I can send in the militia.
When I want to climb a mountain, I can order my people to build a staircase.
When I need to eat a meal, I can order disposable rando.45 to taste test everything for poison.
Chances are high, I'll be dying in a week, but before that I'mma abuse all the power.

...It's a playable class in FATAL.
No idea how it actually plays though, the only session I ran included a fletcher, a prostitute, and a... I can't remember what the Troll was.

Brawler.

Mostly because I like the idea of punching shit while also not being confined to playing a Wuxia character.

Also because it can lead to suplexing dudes in grapples.

A mix between a swamp witch/warlock with a dash of necromancy.
Throwing mud, various slimes riddled with skeletal groping hands, releasing vile smelling, non-lethal gasses and spooking people with skellingtons. All while crawling through the watery undergrowth with a breathing reed.

Fighter or ranger, because that's what I've always liked to play and be. Finishing to school to apply to be a federal warden with the Department of the Interior right now.

There is only one answer I can honestly give.

I fight for justice.

Summoner of course. Nothing says winning like summoning and entire army under your control RTS style. Plus the flexibility to summon damn near anything, like waifus or tanks. Or even magical tankgirls.

>>52329580
Cleric because I like helping people.

Also the illusionist in your picture is actually a summoner and the rogue is actually a mesmer.

>>52329797
I think a Skald is close. Either that or a valor bard

Commissar, always been a fan of being a brave military genius that keeps his men's moral high through a mixture of fear and respect. Death is preferable to corruption

Doesn't Mystic have an insanely different definition depending on whatever game you are talking about?

They are
summoners
martial artists
wizards
psykers

just any fucking thing...

Plague doctor. I like the costume and alchemy.

Because befriend bears, summon bears, become bears,turn enemies into bears, and bears

also I like outdoor stuff

Monk. I just want to grow in mind and body, and travel the world.

>>52329680
If you just wanna do everything, why pick a class at all?

>>52329580

Gunslinger.

I have no fucking clue why.

>>52351317
One of you is a newfag, and it isn't him

Monk because I like martial arts and unarmed combat.

>>52329580
scout

because that's pretty much what I am

perceptive, fieldcrafty, stealthy, mobile, capable

>>52329580
Rogue because sneaking, evading, climbing. Being bad at combat but making up for it by approaching it unconventionally.
Being decent at social situations but not the kind of guy that'd make a great leader, just your alley-cat with odds stacked against him trying to even them with guile.

>>52329580
Chronomancer , because stoping time is fun and overpowered.

>>52329580
Fecht-man. It's like a Fighter, only more Scottish.

Binder, because I was reading about them last night and want to build a game where everyone is one.

>Illusionist
>picture of Rydia, who was a summoner

I don't recognize the others in that image but fuck you anyway

>>52329580
Since I don't know the setting I'd say some kind of sorcerer.

Having innate blasting abilities w/o concern to equipment seems useful almost anywhere.

>>52329580
That's not a rake. That's a mesmer, and a cute one at that.

>>52329580

Mecha pilot.

Because stompy giant robot shot.

Daily reminder they were only folded 'a million times' to be able to match the strength of european swords.

a battlemage is different. It's a mage that fights in heavy armor, not a lightly armored weapon and magic user.

>>52329580
God.

What?

That's a class.

In some obscure system.

I'm sure.

>>52366866
It is!

In Rifts

>>52329580
>Necromancer
I'm usually disappointed, I hate Soul stealing and Life leech spells, just raising undead, healing, and buffing them.

So here's a dumb fucking story.

Back when I was a retard kid I got it into my head that, for whatever reason, paladins were a heavily armored warrior that also had some solidly powerful spells (in my mind, the blasty-style spells). The holy warrior thing only came in later, so for the longest time I never really understood why they kept ending up as sword-and-board hybrid healbots. I wanted to be an edgy plate mail 2-sword fireball master in whatever game. Yet I insisted on calling this thing a paladin, even though to this day I'm pretty sure the closest is probably some form of Battle Mage/Gish/Spellblade, whatever.

However, so enamoured with this fictitious non-Paladin was I, that I would go out of my way to play one if I saw the name on something. Paladins in Warcraft III were really weird, but I used them against my better judgement. Bretonnia in Warhammer, even though they had no magic whatsoever and I probably wanted to play High Elves anyway.

It took until I rolled up my first 3.5 character that my DM stopped me and asked why I was trying to duel wield while asking about fire balls did I finally understand how wrong I'd been.

And as a result, Paladin, Gish, Spellblade, Eldritch Knight, Magus, and all of their permutations live in this weird incestuous bubble of disappointment for me, all because I didn't look up what a Paladin was.

Kamen Rider
>I like Good-aligned and justice powered superheroes, most Riders are

>Effectively immortal in the long run due to cosmic law demanding that we show up whenever evil pokes its ugly head
>Answer to no one but my own values and maybe a flying mechanical hamburger bat or something
>Might even get my own bitch-boy sidekick who's actually just as cool as me if not cooler to bro around with
It's a pretty sweet deal from any angle I try to look at it. Modern Riders don't even necessarily have to give up their humanity.

>>52329580
Red Mage, I've always liked them since FF1

Scout.
I'd appreciate any work that enables me to be a quiet smartass and, hopefully, to fly.

Mix match of games by the look of it.

Illusionist is Rydia from Final Fantasy 4, for instance

I am a cynic and like making sure my idiots are at least somewhat healthy idiots.

I am a healer through and through. /sigh

My guess is that while in combat, he'd be a bit turned on his favored side towards his opponent when attacking, or away while retreating.

>>52332657

Yes, it does. That name has a rich history, and yet came early enough that it's not too tied to a specific setting. It needn't be abbreviated, because it's already short and distinctive. It's sufficiently basic as a character concept that its short, distinctive name captures a concept that people grasp pretty intuitively.

So you can just gish off if you don't like it.

>>52329580

Jedi

Monk-psion with an incredible melee weapon? Sure, why not?

Or I'd be a monk-wizard. All the immunities and melee of a monk, plus spells.

If we don't get our abilities modded to fit the new class, then wizard. A grognard like myself can't handle the physically challenging classes.

>>52374905
>rich history

No.
Paladin has a rich history, being tied to both the Roman tradition of Palatinus and Charlemagne's Twelve Peers.

'Gish' is glib admission that nobody can come up with a good name, dejectedly settling for some random gibberish from a fictional language.
