Although I've dabbled in the past, it looks like I'm about to get into Pathfinder a lot. I will be selecting a character to play every other week, for probably the next 4 years, and I'll probably only be level 13 or 14 when it ends. I need to pick a class that will remain interesting throughout.
In the game that just ended for me, I played a cleric, D&D 3.5, and he made it to level 11. It took 5 years of real-world time. Until the last few months, playing the cleric was pretty fun. There were lots of spells and feats and alternative class features to enjoy.
So, I am hoping those who have played Pathfinder could give me something like a power gamer's guide to the classes. I can use any class from a Paizo Pathfinder product, so things like the APG are fair game. I'd love to see just a few sentences about why particular classes are fun to play and capable. If you can write out something for each class, great, I'll read it. If you are only motivated to write about your few favorites (or loathed) then that's great too.
Basically, help. I need to decide now about what will be fun/useful to still be playing 2 or 3 years from now.
