In D&D what class do you like to play and why?

Do keep in mind the consequences and risks of being low level with your class- almost anything can kill or KO a lv.1 mage in one hit.

Personally I like to be a crazy mage or mage/thief who functions as the comic relief in the group- too useless to be of much help but a genius who can come through when the rest of them are too incompetent to figure something out- while being awesome. And whom keeps getting on the paladins nerves with my magical fun. (I really wanted to make those goblin head talking puppets)

My favourite character was a gnome illusionist/thief, a very slippery character indeed. I liked the illusionist class because there was a lot of scope for creative use.

Otherwise, I liked magic-users because nukers are fun and I enjoyed the challenge of keeping them alive in the beginning.

Note: I only ever played first edition AD&D

@SW-User Gnomes get a +1 to int allowing them to hit 19 int right off the start which makes them perfect for mages. And mage/thieves are a lot of fun to play because when you run out of spells you at least have your thief skills to fall back on, while still using class appropriate armor. (light)
