Rogue.
Most versatility, both in mechanics and RP.

Hooman.

Bard is my favourite class, to play and to RP. It has a reputation for being RPed as a prancing idiot (and I certainly haven't done much to quell that stereotype), but is such a versatile and useful class. Bards can be musicians, artists, spies, performers and rhetoricians -- but most importantly, they can be whoever they become through roleplay AND still have those skills.

Being able to act must be useful as a politician. Knowing how to apply makeup and stage costumes must be incredibly useful for making believable disguises. They know just enough about everything to be useful, but never too much to miss out on learning. Bards are awesome.

My favourite race right now would be dwarf. I used to be on the fence about it, but Ghestaldt, Falgrim and the Brog dwarves have settled it for me.

*Edit* Just wondered where the poll was, actually.

Best races: half-orc and half-elf. Good for weirdo "I don't belong!" or "I'll forge my own destiny" RP. Other good races: gnome, dwarf. They're awesome in lore and outlook. I also love RPing the only dwarf or gnome in the party, like a spice.

Best classes: bard, rogue. They're equally fun to play in terms of mechanics and RP, a lot of variety and freedom. Second best class: Dwarven defender, because I love how little it is played and how unique it makes me feel. Other good classes: ranger, two-handed WM, two-handed barbarian. To dish out maximal damage. Other good classes: sorcerer and unarmed monk. Sorcerer for the ease of spellcasting which makes it the only primary spellcaster class I can play without suffering serious anxiety from spellbook SNAFU. Unarmed monk because of the archetype!
Characters: all poor babies suffering from neglect

Human, wizard. I enjoy playing characters that have a real-world historical, aesthetic and/or geographic analogue, and there's usually somewhere in the Realms I can shoehorn that into, but they're almost invariably gonna be human as a result. They're blank canvases.

Elf/dwarf are my favorite races first, because I love digging into the culture and lore of those two races. There is just so much awesomeness to explore there. Humans are next for the opposite reason, because some times I want a completely blank canvas to play with.

As far as classes go, usually something that can hit someone with something. But also magic, since RPing magical stuff is fun. Currently going with a battlecleric and that is satisfying that need superbly.

Favorite Class: The good old Barbarian.

Favorite Race: The Mighty Gnomes

I also like the Half-Orcs and Clerics as second favorites. Hard to choose favorite between Ogres and Goblins if I need to choose from the monster races.

Always been a ranger kind of guy when it comes to fantasy in general. In NWN I’ve really come to love druids.

My fav races are probably half-orcs and half-elves though I have hardly played either.
