               I haven't played them all but I am fond of the Assassin. If you feel like going solo and just ... well assassinating things it can be a really fun character to play.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_HipMaestro]

               Shifter.

Seems like it takes forever to learn which feats work best with what shapes and how each form excels in different situations but once you have, it's a bleedin' blast!  

"Zaphox the two-headed Risen Lord gazes out onto the battlement, noticing an army of Duergar clerics closing quickly. 
SHIFT!... dammit... shift, you fool!":P

               Shadowdancer.

I had a lot of fun with a rogue/shadowdancer while playing through the OC the first time. I died quite a bit until I learned to maximize some of the AI quirks, but it was a blast nevertheless. I still recall the first time I used HIPs...

"OOOOOOOOOO! They really can't see me even when I'm next to them....MWAHAHAHAHA! WHAT! I'm dead? Stupid mages..."

               I personally like Wizard/Ranger/Assassin as well!
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_jmlzemaggo]

               Wizard/Rogue/Assassin, but I'm no builder, so Ranger maybe, but Assassin anyway. Fun!
The treacherous wizard.
There is another Prestige class I use, unfortunately, quite often, Weapon Master, only because some modules force you to play a Fighter, the most boring class ever if played plain. 
& Pale Master could be my next target.

               Oh, I forgot the why!

I prefer a Wizard 36/Ranger 2/Assassin 2 sort of build.  The reason?

Death Attack is partially Int based, so that is a bit of a help.  Ranger can forgo Favored Enemy for Impr. Spell (insert spell school here) feat, adding a bit more, not to mention the dual wielding (which, when combined into a dex-based MM (melee mage) can really be a nasty Assassin!)

Then the normal skill dumps, of course.

Yummy.

Lots of synergy in the build.

               palemaster

crit hit immunity, which has to be the best immunity in the game, and pm's affinity for the undead.  I luv it.

               Wizard/Monk/(opt.)Pale Master. Especially if gnome. I just try to give the wizard class some hitting power since when enemies get too near that could be trouble. The fact that using robes doesn't affect your spellcasting plays the rest
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               ^ What is your breakdown on levels for your build?

Do you use the standard PM, or do you use an improved version ( 1/2 caster level, blah blah)?

               Oh, WS, were you asking me?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Leematon]

               Red Dragon Disciple. Essential for a sorcerer, because of the natural armour bonus and a bit more muscle.

For the combat classes, particularly fighters - Weapon Master. The extra power you get from your specialized weapon is awesome.
