Let's hear it! What's your favorite race class combo, why do you like it so much? Mine's Dwarf Paladin, (almost as good at fighting as a warrior, only 50 less hp endgame, warriors can't often get their 6 blows with heavy weapons) because of a combination of hand-to-hand damage dealing capability, cool spells like ID and Clayvoyance, good hp (had 1115 at one time), good saving-throw, and all together a well rounded race/class.

Dwarf paladin by a long shot. You can start with over 18 strength, and plenty of con.. making an easy start for experienced players. The offensive ball spell OoD is one of my favorite spells in the game with its guaranteed blast radius of 2. Add Prayer and Protection from Evil to the mix, and a 3000-HP healing spell, and you have a great fighter. With boosted con, you get lots of HP's, or with boosted dex, you get up to 5 blows per round standard.. putting a weapon of extra attacks in a str-maxed and dex-maxed dwarf paladin's hands can give you 7 or 8 attacks! Now if only paladins had haste-self!

Starting with 3 blows is quite possible (takes a few rolls)
and elevates a starting-level paladin to over the power of a starting-level warrior!

I like the non-maximized mage, since they can actually get their max attacks with the mage weapons, Quarterstaffs.

High Elf mage is really nice. Geno and Mass Geno
and I would also have to say that a Dwarf Priest kicks butt. I have over 1000hp with a Dwarf Priest.
