Wizard 22: [B]Mass Fly[/B], [B]Mordenkainen's Mansion[/B], Time Stop I'm not going to go through all the classes, but I think the trend is pretty clear. Sure, some utility powers are not necessarily combat-related, but most of them are (and a significant portion of those I marked are ones that let you fly or something similar, because that is amazingly useful in many situations). This may have changed in later books, but at least this was the state of the game when first released. As for my choice of classes, I started with the first ones in the book, then decided I didn't want to do them all and figured the ranger and wizard would probably have the best chance of non-combat ones.
