What RPG class would you be in the event of a zombie apocalypse?

[Nieroshai]

Obviously the most uber class would be average high school girl, but maybe that doesn't count as a class hmm, ok, nekoromancer then the combined powers of a cat and a necromancer, how can I fail (I can always get featured on lolcats if I fail winwin) my only weakness would be catnip.

Multiclassing has an AP penalty you know
lol

 

[Jonny The Kay]

Cleric. Duh. Turn undead anyone?

 

[JPH330]

White mage (or priest or cleric or whatever), because not only would I be able to heal my friends, but I'd also be able to hurt the zombies with my magic, since healing spells hurt the undead.

 

[Nieroshai]

Paladin, 4e, who is equipment with a holy avenger blade, also a crossbow, a holy one that has an underslug arrow-barrel, now that'd be badarse, would it not?

IDK who I would devoit to, though.

Why a holy avenger? Aren't zombies neutral? They're even less intelligent than animals (which are classified as neutral due to not being intelligent enough to have an alignment), so there's the holy advantage gone, cold iron is no more useful against zombies that ordinary steel, and the primary reason for using a holy avenger is the spell resistance and dispel magic are both similarly useless.

Yes but if zombies are made through Necromancy, they are evil creations and dispelling the evil magic will render them inanimate.

 

[blippity]

Paladin - not quite as strong as a cleric on undead spells, but a tough warrior

 

[Atmos Duality]

I already do some Parkour, but I'll choose...Mad Scientist!

How shallow those silly minds who rely on brute force and magic. I won't merely survive, my work will thrive in such a lawless society.

...Barring that. I'll try to see if I can cheat and take levels in Dragon Disciple.

 

[Averant]

Ranger Tempest FTW!!! With modern rifles instead of bows, and pistols instead of the twin swords... bows are only effective inside of ~60 yds, and swords are only effective inside 2 yds.

Rifles can kill from 1.5 miles, and pistols from 100 yds if you're good.
All about the range people, all about the range.

1.5 miles? Have fun trying to hit them. I remember watching a crack sniper team that was shooting a target from a mile away. Even then they took their time and were extremely careful about it. Another half mile? Not a chance.

OT: Rogue, stealthy and silent. Because zombies rely as much on their hearing as they do on their eyes. If they even use their eyes. Can zombies smell?

Extremely knowledgeable about the human body. Some zombies chasing you? Hamstring the suckers. >

And it would do me well to have some firearms and explosives proficiency. Just in case...

Well, this depends. If there's a zombie apocalypse, then the method of getting rid of them varies. Were they raised by black magic? Dispell the magic and they're gone. Evil spirits? You'll need a cleric or an exorcist. Virus? Holy magic won't do shit against that. Unless you use heal and remove the virus.

Hmm....

 

[Nieroshai]

Or I could be a Jewish Cleric/Carpenter multiclass. I'd be able to spawn rations, as well as infinite water walking and a Resurrect Self spell. I'd have no weapons proficiency, but infinite Astral summon and Turn Undead at will!

 

[dui29aghgb]

Easy; Paladin. Shackle undead and then just let my buddies shoot their heads off.

 

[ALKATRAZACAZ]

My character from NWN2, a Fighter/waepons master/beserker with epic cleave.
It just takes 1 kill and i never stop from cleaving

 

[Spacelord]

Cleric, jeez, how is this even a matter of debate?!

 

[the Dept of Science]

Is it the Paladin that can turn undead? Because that would probably be fairly usefull...

 

[Epocu]

Mage with lightning based powers, fry in hell zombies!!!!

Same here. That or a D&D 3.0 Cleric.

 

[FortheLegion]

A DnD cleric or A Paladin

 

[ninja555]

Rogue, with lots of points in stealth and backstap skills. Those zombies won't stand a chance.

 

[Makenzye]

A Kryptonian. Couldn't get bitten, could just drop large rocks on groups of zombies, you could fly, or incinerate them with heat vision. I'd be like, "F this noise" and just fly to another planet. =D

Oh, for serious?

Mage. Then I'd be like, "F this noise" and teleport to another planet/dimension free of zombies. Or, you know, burn them down. =D

 

[Irradiated Tiger]

A Paladin.

I'm tailor made to be a zombie killing machine.

 

[Chancie]

I'd probably be the healer of some kind. I'd be the one to look after the others that were with me and I wouldn't fight all that much, just run away. I'd probably better at running away than actually fighting without being bitten.

Or maybe I'd just be a mage, since mages can usually heal and if I had to fight, I could do it from a distance. So, uh, yes. A mage for me too. (It seems very popular in this thread, no?)

 

[Shadowfaze]

The sneaky Rogue. Stabbing zombies in the back would never get old.
