I just took this test. I was a little suprised by the results. I think it would be interesting to see what everyone else comes out as. This was brought up in another thread (actually 2) but i didnt want to turn them into a what class are you thread so i just made a new thread. So take the test and post your results. Im sure many of you have already taken it, but try it again. And answer honestly! No cheating!
This is what I got:

I like the make you explode part!
I just took the test. Got Rogue, which is awesome, since it's my favorite class (though I took the test legitimately, mind you). It's now resting in my sig with my Blue/Green orientation.
*Emerges from concealment*

I'v always favored rangers, regarless of edition
As noted before, Swordmage. Sometimes I get Bard. It's a really lousy test though, where the answers are blindingly obvious.
I refuse to use either banner because the art for both classes is so ****. That hideous Genasi chick(Would it have freaking killed them to use an Eladrin) and that stupidly ugly Tiefling bimbo are both god-awful.

Party Pooper! I didnt think the answers were that blindingly obvious. It would be pretty easy to take the test and give answers to steer towards the class you want, which is why i said no cheating! I was kinda hopin for swordmage myself, but i just answered the questions honestly and came out Artificer which suprised me I had alot of fighter answers and mage answers so i thought for sure it would be Swordmage.
Im a little surprised that Lord Manshoon is a Rogue? I thought for sure hed be a Wizard! Who knew!
But anyway we got a good adventuring party goin on so far. An Artificer, Paladin, Rogue, Ranger, Swordmage. Were gonna kick some A$$! And no duplicates yet. Thats cool. So whos gonna be tested next?

My Rogue aspect took the test. Wizard aspect was too busy reading a tome at the time.
I got warlock. Its in my sig.
Funny I was playing a Hellfire Warlock named Brimstone awhile back.
Well I'll be...Avenger of Shar. Sounds nice, very nice.

I do prefer classes that are hybreds in themselves, ranger, paladin, etc. This makes sense.
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Avenger seems to be very popular. Avenger of Hoar. I like it. I thought I would come out as a Cleric. But Avenger of Hoar does have a nice ring to it. I may have to change my screen name.
Indeed. 3 Avengers in a row? What are the odds? Quick some one else do it, and stay away from avengers. Just like your typical D&D group, no one wants to be the Cleric.
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Dang! Last time I took this test I came out as a rogue! I wonder what changed?
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Cool, this or ranger feel aobut right for me.
ok so know we got two Rangers and two Rogues. Im guessing one of you is a bow Ranger. And Avenger is still the more popular class, who would of guessed?
Next...
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Wow! so now we got three Rogues Rangers!
3 avengers, 2 Rogues, a Paladin, Swordmage, Warlock and an Artificer.
I think thats everybody so far.
what two classes
I still say its fixed
Did you answer with the same exact answers both times?
no
Well then I dont think its fixed. They do change up the questions everytime you take it though, so taking it again you might end up with a different result. Maybe you should try it again, and use best 2 out of three or something?
I think its more fun if you just answer the questions honestly, as you would answer them, not as your character would or what ever, and dont worry about what class you want to have.
So ok Fine sfdragon, Ill put you down as Ranger, even though i have my suspicions that you cheated!
its fixed.
when I got to a point, it axed me ranged or melee.
I pick melee it sends me to rogue.
I dont do petty banditry.
I take range it sends me to ranger.
I dont tend to use alot of ranged weapons.( though Ive started to carry a light crossbow as well as a long bow)

Ahhh, yeah i got down to a 2 question one too, Im not sure what my other choice would of led to. Thats like a bonus question, I guess you were too close to ranger and rogue for it to be able to determine which you were, so you got one last question to settle it. So I guess in a sense youre a Hybrid class. They should add those in there, It would be cool if they update this test and put in the PHB3 classes and the Assassin.
That's odd. I thought more people would have got Wizard as test result. The answers are all anyways boringly obvious as to which classes they relate.

Alright we got our Wizard!!!
Yes the answers can be obvious and you could easily steer it to get the class you want, but i think alot of people mix it up, like I picked a lot of fighter type answers and wizard type answers and ended up with Artificer.
Another wizard? and still no Cleric, what is it with Clerics any way? Everyone seems bummed if they got to be the Cleric like "Awww man i was Cleric last time!" Still I guess were good, Artificers have healing infusions.
So we now have
3 Rangers, 3 Avengers, 2 Rogues, 2 Wizards a Paladin, Swordmage, Warlock and an Artificer.
Ooohh. New class!

Hey, Clerics are my second favorite class. Why? Well, because they are a hybrid-class onto themselfs and that's cool. If you wanna play a character that holds his/her ground in melee and as a magic-user Cleric is a great choice, since the class's magic supports your melee efforts, in addition you can stand back and launch some really devastating spells. I love to be the playmaker, to fill all the gaps and keep my party going, to heal them, to be the first and the last line of defense. Clerics are the heart and soul of their parties. I guess thats why few claim to volunteer all the time to be the party's Cleric. It's quite a commitment and responsability to be Team Captain.

I agree. Im just saying most people seem to stay away from the Cleric. I like em, and Ive played many a Cleric, because I chose to not cause I was forced to. It seems most people think they just heal people and thats it. But theyve always had a decent to hit bonus, and in 4e they got lots of real nice offensive powers.
And cool we now have a Druid in the party!
I guess what I said about Clerics proves true for all leader classes and look how many leaders we got thus far. Just one, and an Artificer's role identity doesn't seem to be as obvious as the Cleric's, at least not to me. Of all the leader classes Clerics have it the hardest to stray a little away from their role I believe, since its such a strongly themed class. Just to RP a Cleric is sometimes a little burdening due to the theme that threatens to overshine the person's personality.
I found it interesting that I was relegated to Ranger, because while I like nature, I really don't give a whit about the environment. I don't go out of my way to pollute, but I'm not making any special trips to the recyclers with carefully sorted garbage, and those compact flourescent lights suck. IRL, I think I'm more of a fighter or rogue, but I pick my fights carefully. I won't go toe-to-toe if fighting from a distance will give me a better chance at victory, and it's far better to get your opponent to defeat himself. I also recognize that sometimes the best way to deal with people is not to deal with them at all. I don't know. Maybe the questions pegged me as a hunter.
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Which makes sense, since I'm a DM through and through, and Warlord is the most Dmish of the classes.

I didnt even notice that. I thougt Artificers were strikers, or perhaps controlers. Kool so I gues im the Leader!

Damn I just had to go and say something! Ok you can be the Leader. I think Warlords are more Leadery than Artificers Any way.

Well i think Ranger fits you then, I see them as a sort of fighter/rogue hybrid. Especialy in 4e.

An idea I find horrifying to be honest... maybe they're more palatable in 4e though. Certainly not the 3e version, couldn't stand them...
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
It took 15 seconds to take the test FOR the barbarian result.
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Cleric again took about 30 seconds to try for. Problem is, I really could be any one of the classes. I'm all for trying every possible approach to problems.
Tried for a sorcerer after that... Got wizard instead. But, 2 out of 3 I tried for ain't too shabby.

My favorite striker would be Rogue. I love to frustrate my enemies before I massacre them. :D
I had actuayl expected bard, but I can live with this career...
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Not really that big a surprise...
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
Kind of interesting since my most common race/class combination is dwarven cleric
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
I figured I'd be a cleric for sure. Oh well, Bard is fun too! 
I like clerics. Three of the PCs I've made(Two of whom I haven't ever gotten to play) that I like best are clerics:
Isri Arellan, CG 'drow'(He uses high elf stats) cleric of Corellon Larethian. Nice guy, but has little patience for foolishness or beaurocracy and gets snippy around them.
Danien Kesar, CN human cleric of Olidammara. Smarmy, seedy, drunk half the time, a womanizer, a (bad) petty thief and an all around jerk. CHA was his dumpstat, turning undead is for people who actually care.
Kerazt Vareth, CN drow cleric of Vhaeraun, with evil tendencies. Prone to overblown, ridiculous plans for the simplest of things, as likely to gut you like a fish as look at you, though he might help you out instead, convinced that drow are the best, pissy that surface elves get accepted unquestioningly while he has to work his ass off to get even the slighest acceptance for his community of surface-dwelling drow.

Hey thats cheating! you cant be two classes! I think its more interesting if you take it just once and see what you come up with, instead of playing around with it to get the class you want. (lookin at you sfdragon)
but you had Barabarian first so I'm putting you down for that, and I dont think anyones got Barbarian yet so that works, although Barbarian/Cleric is an interesting combo, but if I let you have 2 classes then everybody else will want 2 classes.
So we've had alot of people come in since I checked last, we're gettin a good sized adventuring group goin on now. Look out Shades here we come! so as it stands now we have: 3 Rangers, 3 Avengers, 2 Rogues, 2 Wizards, 2 Warlocks, 2 Paladins a Cleric, Bard, Druid, Barbarian, Warlord, Shaman, Swordmage, and an Artificer.
just make him a barbarian/cleric hybrid then.....
just make him a barbarian/cleric hybrid then.....
Then everbody would want to be a hybrid, and that would make it even more difficult to keep track of.
kay barb(wire)arian it is then for him then, or he takes it again and takes thata one
Indeed. 3 Avengers in a row? What are the odds? Quick some one else do it, and stay away from avengers. Just like your typical D&D group, no one wants to be the Cleric.
to those who like clerics SORRY.
Of cource no one wants a cleric in 4e !SUCKS!. their power has been significantly reduced. They are pathetic at melee/range and a shaman (guardian) can heal more than a cleric. And don't even mention turning undead. OMG way powered down.
3e clerics have the most options and when built right can do massive damage and healing.
2e were pretty good too.

In other words, 4e clerics are balanced.
you know I used to dislike the invoker, but now I think its better than the cleric.
regardless the party still needs a healer.
that said, no party ever needs a leader like that.
the paladin can do that job, just as well.
but my ranger can lead through the wilderness.
(edit: o n a side note, I've past 2100 posts)
Hmm, though i've done this before, i'll repeat what I am.
Mine said i'm a Warden :D
Anyways, something about clerics still keeps me from playing one... don't know what it is... I wouldn't play one in 3-3.5 and I still won't now...
To Stigger:
Warlock
An idea I find horrifying to be honest... maybe they're more palatable in 4e though. Certainly not the 3e version, couldn't stand them...
I find the warlock to be quite refreshing. I thought the same thing when I first saw the class. Then I looked at the powers and a shadowy red dragonborn was quickly put together. I chose the Infernal pact and due to things that has happened in game and his history I am actually creating a Heritage feat for him. Infernal heritage. Anyone wanna check it out and give helpful suggestion. Look under homebrew section.
In other words, 4e clerics are balanced.
I dissagree. the cleric is actually a hindrance in the group I'm playing. The person playing a cleric is good at it too.
I've recently started playing a shaman and took the multi-class feat for cleric. I was origionally DM the campaine but cleric (my GF) took over so I could play a character. She still plays the cleric as an important NPC. And another cleric the battle cleric usually misses and gets hurt alot too. I find the cleric to be underpowered even with the new stuff from divine power.. though it is a significant increase. I'm no fan of the cleric either, in any eddition and only played one of the sun/healing domains.
I just took it again to see what this particular class said on it.
so noted.
The Cleric debate rages on! They do seem less focused on healing in 4e, dependin on what build you go with. I think theyre still pretty kick a$$ regardless what edition youre talkin about. The last time my group got together to game, I ended up throwing a Shade at the party, The Cleric of the group really saved the day with those Radiant powers, If it wasnt for the Cleric I dont think the party would of made it, granted that a situational thing there but i think alot of the classes work like that, some are better than others depending what the situation is.

And we're supposed to just take your word for it? Fine I'll let it slide this one time. I just hope more people dont start sayin oh it said im a (insert favorite class here). I want to see the little picture and quote with it too. I guess I could just mess around with it until I get all the classes, but seeing what everyone else comes up as is far more fun and interesting.
The Swordmage banner is retarded because it uses that stupid-ass Genasi woman who's uglier than Shar's crotch hair, and then the quote is about training 'under the leaves of Myth Drannor', which: lawl elves training a Genasi no; and lawl Myth Drannor is the name of the city not the ****ing forest. There's forest in it, sure, but that'd still be Cormanthyr.
tell me about it, the gensai girl.... hate the hair change.
good thing we can use still use use the previous edition hair..
so I take it you got swordmage? or did you take it Nai?

A womanizer without charisma?! How is that going to work out?
Now I'm tempted to do one with my eyes closed (this should be interesting).
A womanizer without charisma?! How is that going to work out?
Well, the idea is pretty much that it doesn't. :P
Danien is one of those guys. You know, the ones who think they're god's gift to women, but are in fact actually just obnoxious.
Confidence is often a good substitute for raw charisma. I'd wager a confident priest, drunkard though he may be, could seem attractive and even quite powerful to others who burry themselves in their cups.

Hmm, through which attribute gets "confidence" expressed from your point of view? Wisdom? I never looked at it this way but it sounds interesting. For me "confidence" translates into "force of personality" which would be charisma driven. With charisma I didn't necessarily mean "charm".

Good question.
For me confidence is something that has always had a split-personality (for me) as far as character attributes are concerned.
I agree in that force of personality could easily be translated into the charisma attribute, because mighty Paladins, clerics and great warlords would draw upon such to lead and rally great armies against impossible foes.
On the other hand, there are also characters of all classes who don't have great charisma scores but are willing to do things that other non-adventurers are not. Such characters are often fearless (synonymous with foolhardy and careless; we're talking adventurers after all ) and dedicated to a cause or set of ideals and so become noteworthy for their actions, which leads others to want to follow them or at least take head of their words and ideas.
It's tricky because the game mechanics are there to simulate and streamline "real life", whereas good roleplayers and a willing DM can use the mechanics as a guideline but still let players move past them by delving deeply into social roleplaying opposite a large host of NPCs of all types.
In the later scenario, it could easily be the lowly fighter with an 8 charisma (and not his majestic high-charisma Paladin, Cleric and/or Warlord companions) who commands the attention and loyalty of the city guard and its watch captains, because it was the fighter who grew up with and was conscripted along with many of the local villagers that form the city guard's ranks, who fought with them to defend the city from marauding orcs and worse in the past, who only recently joined the adventuring group he's a part of now and has since always urged his adventuring companions to "let the watch take these ruffians we've captured and administer the local lord's justice" because he retains an open loyalty to his former comrades in arms.
The fighter's simple loyalty, then, commands more respect from a large group than a high charisma score on another character would earn.
I like this later style of play, because it encourages players to see past their ability scores and to learn to work with their "lesser in certain abilities" companions to get things accomplished during play.
My apologies for the long post, but I like this sort of topic.

This I aggree with. It's dependent on the situation. But my shaman is a far better healer than the cleric. This is all I'm saying. And I won't bring it up anymore since this is not a place to debate clerics LOL.
And for those of you who keep taking it over. Why? I say have fun with what cha got.

You can bring it up again if you wish, things ussually get off topic fairly fast around here, and it is a class discussion so its not too far off topic.
And as for people taking the test over again, I know! cheaters! I didnt yell at Delta though cause I wanted to see the Swordmage banner anyway and the guy who said he got Swordmage refused to post it (I dont think shes that bad lookin). And any way Delta did keep to his origianl Warlock choice.
so how much of what class so far anyway??
so how much of what class so far anyway??
So far I believe its: 3 Rangers, 3 Avengers, 2 Rogues, 2 Wizards, 2 Warlocks, 2 Paladins a Cleric, Bard, Druid, Barbarian, Warlord, Shaman, Swordmage, Warden and an Artificer.

IRL, confidence is entirely related to success. The more successful we are in life, the more confident we are. For most PCs, confidence would come with leveling. For NPCs, success in their primary trade.
Foolhardiness and bravado are really very different from actual confidence, IMO.
Well perhaps you don't socialize with the same kind of human beings as I do. One of my realizations I had during my life thus far is, that in fact confidence is completely unrelated to success. I have met a lot of people which had a tremendous amount of confidence into their unpresent abilities. On the other hand I learned to know a lot of people with many great traits and abilities with absolutely no confidence.
Good question.

Well I might misunderstand you, but from what you are writting I got the impression that you are actually speaking about "courage". In the game mechanics being couragous or valorous gets expressed through the wisdom attribute what I deem to be fitting. I believe this isn't the same as confidence. Being confident lets you show up strong in a social encounter where no real dangers have to be overcome, if you have to muster "courage" to approach a woman for instance, you loose, even if you are able to muster a lot. It just will be perceived that you are afraid, why else would you need to muster up courage? And since there is no real reason to be afraid you will be rebuffed. On the other hand if there is a real thread and you do manage to act toward neutralizing the danger, others will not only not care if you have been afraid no, on the contrary they will even hold you in higher esteem if they recognized that you had been afraid but acted anyway.
That's the best way to handle things!!

I hear ya, I was suprised on my result as well, I guess the test is not as blindingly obvious as some would have us believe

huh, always thought myself more of a sorcerer type, oh well.
I followed the sidebars and ended up here. Know nothing about D&D in general, but I was bored.
I ended up as a Druid. Maybe it's similar to my WoW shaman. No idea.

You Know nothing of D&D in general? Its only been around for like 35 years! The game is simple, Its like a Movie, and the Dungeon Master is like the director, the players are all characters, but they dont have scripts so ussualy they dont know whats going on. The DM sets the scene and the players decide what their characters are doing, You roll dice and add any bonuses you have to the roll to determine success or failure on various tasks such as combat, looking for traps, picking up chicks and/or guys at the bar or what have you.
Im not real familiar with WoW, so Im not sure how Shamans are in it. Druids are all about nature and balance, in 4th edition D&D they focus more on shapeshifting into animals.
Well, I know it's a RPG. I think it's one of those pen and paper stuff-things.
Meh. And the WoW shaman is more spiritual. Getting attuned with the Spirits of certain elements, etc. Although there's a Druid class in there aswell, who seems to fit your description. Shapeshifting etc.

Yup one of those pen and paper stuff-things. I have alot of friends who are into WoW and other MMO games. They constantly try to get me into it but i prefer the old pen and paper style. I call it real life D&D, even though were not dressing up and everything, I just feel more of a camaraderie when were all in the same room playing some D&D, nothing against online games, just my own preference.

Ok I took the test. What was the point? What are you trying to accomplish here. I read something about a party of adventurers. Was this just to see what would come up?
Silversword is looking for an adventuring company to assualt the city of shade' supply line to sembia
he has to destroy them, so its the ecomony

I was just curious what everyone else would come out as, It came up in another thread but i didnt want to turn that thread into a what class are you thread so this one was born. Also discussions have sprung up about classes and whether or not clerics suck. So its a just for fun sort of thread. As for the remarks to an adventuring party im just saying we got a good mix of results and we would make a hell of an adventuring party.

I thought we agreed we wouldnt say that? Now no one will want to sign up!
the agreement was not to mention directly assualting the city of shade.... all I said was their supply line....
Take down the Princes of Shade? By Almighty Hoar! I'm all for that.
You guys better pack a lunch...
And maybe a snack or two...
...or three, and let us know how it goes for ya...
What!? Are our Warlocks bailing on us?
we only had two to begin with
*glances at Stigger and Delta*
You two don't want to join in? Hell, I'm only sending my grunts to serve as cannon fodder, but at least I'm contributing. Do neither of you have minions of your own? Stigger, you live in California. Aren't there an abundance of hippies which can be sent to their deaths?
No! Leave the hippies alone! Use beach bimbos and celebrities who resort to reality tv!

Hippies are the center vanguard. Bimbos and worthless celebs (i.e. most of them) can take the right and left flanks. That is, if Stigger wishes to see Netheril defeated...
Well at least I have some support here. Im not too sure about the hippies though, I dont see them being effective fighters, but still, we tell them its a peace march or a rally or something, and they would make excellent cover.

I figure they'd have levels in Druid or Shaman, myself (maybe Warden). And they're cannon fodder; as long as they distract the Shadovar and allow you to sneak in undetected, their deaths will not be in vain.

Netheril was over before it even began, it just isn't smart enough to realize it yet.
As to reinforcements, you can have all the hippies you like, it'll take that much more strain off of the younger generations if they aren't around to suck up even more resources than they already have from the rest of us... obviously I'm not a big booster of geriatric care or medicine...
Hells, take whoever you want really, I don't care either way. Just leave me a note of their names so I can mark them off my list of people I need to end at some point.
The Cleric debate rages on! They do seem less focused on healing in 4e, dependin on what build you go with. I think theyre still pretty kick a$$ regardless what edition youre talkin about. The last time my group got together to game, I ended up throwing a Shade at the party, The Cleric of the group really saved the day with those Radiant powers, If it wasnt for the Cleric I dont think the party would of made it, granted that a situational thing there but i think alot of the classes work like that, some are better than others depending what the situation is.
Hmm, though i've done this before, i'll repeat what I am.
Mine said i'm a Warden :D
Anyways, something about clerics still keeps me from playing one... don't know what it is... I wouldn't play one in 3-3.5 and I still won't now...
And we're supposed to just take your word for it? Fine I'll let it slide this one time. I just hope more people dont start sayin oh it said im a (insert favorite class here). I want to see the little picture and quote with it too. I guess I could just mess around with it until I get all the classes, but seeing what everyone else comes up as is far more fun and interesting.
Let me reiterate, this is not the first "What class are you?" thread on these forums? I've taken this test two times maybe about a month a part and got the same answer both times after answering truthfully (go ahead and look for those other threads, you should find me there somewhere in one of them). I even had the result of my warden as my sig pic. But then wotc temporarily took down pics in sigs, I just haven't brought him back since on my signature.
Meh, just swat him with a rolled up newspaper when he gets annoying... I know I do.

Not entirely unexpected, given the type of characters I've always preferred to play.

D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
this time it was Sorcerer, like I wanted it to be.
barbar
Atrifisher
i've no class
Im confused. Are you an Artifisher or are you goin with no class? No class? would that make you a minion?
I tried it again.
this time it was Sorcerer, like I wanted it to be.
Hey! thats cheating! Now everyone will want to Multi-Class.
barbar
And yes! We are well on our way to getting a barbaric horde!
and how much of the main group do we have now including the minions??
Well we have at least 3 that arent directly assaulting the City of Shade er I mean the supply line but are supplying Minions. So we have everybody else and possibly another Artificer, and minions, lots of minions.
I took it again too, ended up with the same thing, go figure.
I am shaman
I am shaman
Yes! Another Healer.
thats two shamans now right??
Yup
So we now stand at : 4 Avengers, 3 Rangers, 3 Wizards 3 Barbarians, 2 Rogues, 2 Swordmages, 2 Warlords, 2 Warlocks, 2 Paladins, 2 Bards, 2 Druids, 2 Shamans, a Cleric, Warden, Artificer and an Artifisher.

It warms my heart to see more interest in Hoar.
