Commoner, for sure.  ;)
Also, fair warning Sixth, I have full intentions of using the gold I get for pawning <a certain person>'s magic gear to enter Wish economy. When is Mace planning on running this/could he be persuaded to delay two weeks so I could join y'all once I'm home from college?

I thought about an adept, and showing you all up with it  ;) But I think we're gunna try to play this Saturday, and you could just hop in next time.

Voting is still much in the Wizard's favor.

That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.

CLERIC!!!!
Just remember, you are what you tell your party members you are. Cleric is a metagame concept, you don't have to be the band-aid just because you're a cleric, and close minded individuals who think otherwise can take a swift kick in the crotch.

Tell them you play a Paladin.

My personal opinion here (and suuuuure you're not biased, AC :P) is that a cleric is more versatile in combat, but not outside it.
I disagree. Clerics can actually be very versatile outside of combat. They can even be psuedo rogues :P

Exactly. Or a druid, and buy a horse to keep around. Or whatever, you know. ;)
The cake is a lie.

If you don't want to play a healbot, be a negative energy cleric. Simple as that.

No arguments on that score from me, but in my opinion their spell selection is more geared towards buffing and the like, whereas the wizard has a slightly wider variety of spell options available.

I can't believe I get restricted to Melee or Bard and you get to be a wizard. Lame...

The cohort tosses the bag of rats and the melee Great Cleaves?

Edit: wow, I think I've actually forgotten how that worked.

It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Vote for wizard here...playing a "core" Conj / Master Specialist right now and loving it. Versatility is the name of the game.

Master Specialist is hardly core...but then, that's why you had the quotation marks, I suppose. ;)

More like the cohort is a slightly weaker Wizard who my character tanks for...  :D
