Class issues
Imagine you were a hero. WHat class would you be?
Cleric Holy people who are ready to raise their weapons for a rightful cause. They are known as healers and they can pray to aid their troops.
Knight Mates of the`Clerics, they are true leaders and fierce warriors in battle. You can see them standing with the swords in their hands, commanding their armies. They can't practise magic and they rely on might.
Alchemist Tower's warriors they are also mighty spellcasters. You can see they walking around with books in their hands, studying a new spell or a way to enchant items.
Wizard The best spell casters of the realm, they are serene warriors of magic. They live to study magic. Knowledge is most important for them. Studying new techniques of spells is the purpose of their lives.
Druid The mages of the forests, Druids are healers and they draw their force from the endless source of nature. Elves are their friends and you can see them carrying herbs in small green bags.
Ranger The warriors of the forests. They can be seen around with bows on their backs cruising the woods. Few targets can escape their arrows. The ultimate pathfinders.
Barbarian Rude and rough, these people have deserved the name "barbarians" and carry it with honor. The best warriotrs in the land few can escape their assault. Leaders of the mighty Behemoths, they have no mercy and the hostages they take usually make the beasts' breakfast.
Battle Mage If you see a barbarian with even a spark of magic in his/ her vains, then this is a battle mage. Milder versions on their fierce mates, they wield magic (as they can) to aid the battle. Though magic-related class, even an Alchemist can best them in the magic skills.
Warlock Followers of the dark path pf magic, they make great spell casters in the realms. The only ones who can match them are the good wizards. While the wizards concentrate on knowledge, the warlocks always try to find a way to make their offesive spells een more damaging.
Overlord Maybe not the most fearsome warriors in realm but those who understadtimate them, soon find themselves in the realm of the Passed souls. Tyrants, cruel holders of the land, they will use and
abuse their people, struggling for more power.
Witch The only class for women only. No man is allowed to study the witchcraft. Young girls, most of them beautiful, show natural aptitude for magic and none of them is missed when the spark gives the sign. Enchanters and seers, they are often accused for being charlatans and though few cheat people, some of them hold true power.
Beastmaster Born in the swamps, they are used to handling beasts. It is always a pleasure for them to see a wild brute turning to a pet as meek as lamb when faced with a whip. However, they care about their 'pets' and try to minimize the penalty they get once they prove their loyality.
Dead Knight Vamprires, Liches and Undead devoted to the dark craft of necromancy. They will kill in their efforts to raise dead and make more skeletons and later put them under their control.
Necromancer The class completely devoted to the dark path. Their efforts to wield magic are always connected with raising the dead and as many of them as possible.
Elementalist Born to rule the plains, the elementalist are among the best magic wileders in the realm. Most of them are ex wizards and warlocks who have given up thier paths after feeling the call to the conflux.
Planeswalker These guys are ready the raise their weapons in defense of they home, the Conflux. Few of them make good spellcasters but they make decent might heroes on the battlefield.
Heretic Lords of Inferno, they are considered fallen clerics. They are good spellcasters but they can say no prayer or summon holy forces. They have their own hierarcy and twistes religion they follow and they often call the dark forces the aid them in battle.
Demoniac Heretics with no magic skills, the demoniacs are evil and cruel warriors who take pleasure in torrturing their victims. Even their unholy troops fear them for no one has true defense against a demon's wickedness.
And why?
EDIT: I hope this helps more. :-)

Only one class, you can't have more. Unless you're among those exceptions who DID change class.

Yes, dear, I know about you
I can't imagine you as anything but a cleric. AFter all, you have been such for 2 years now. :-)
As you know, my class is above this. I'm true chaotic. I'm magic good and will always be. No matter what. I'm above the system.

Actually, there are male witches in norse myhtology and in legends from iceland, and in many cases the males were more powerful than the females.
On the other hand when the purge of witches occured I believe it was mostly women that were caught and convicted. Although, yes it did occur that males were burnt too.
There's a swedish word for a male witch (probably applies to all the nordic languages), although I believe there's no directly corresponding word in the english language.
If you're asking the RL me, I'd take the Druid or the Cleric. (What my Avatar would pick is self-explanatory.)

In Bulgarian
there are 2 words for witch: for a male and female witch. However, if you look at the witches in the H3, you will see ALL of them are female. 3do consider this class female only.

I wouldn't be any of those because all of them are somewhat ready to fight... Peace is the best strategy, I think.
And I'll provide you with additional information about the two words (I don't know if you can see the Cyrillic variant so I write an English translation as well):
Âåùåð (Veshter) - a male witch
Âåùèöà (Veshtitza) - a female witch

That's a good idea, LW
So, anyone, why did you pick up this class?
I thought this could make an intesting topic. :'-O

I chose Knight because of the RL me. Basic logistics, leadership and diplomacy are my skills. I've got many friends and my advice often works (leadership), I quickly gain new friends (diplomacy) and I'm a quick walker (logistics).

why a Ranger...
...I could easily be a knight as well but i'm too close to nature to do that... I like the serenity of a forest and the wild power within nature
