[QUOTE="Philosopher, post: 5277568, member: 76803"] I quite liked the cavalier, inquisitor, oracle, and witch. I do have one issue with the oracle, however - I simply can't stand the curses. It's not merely the execution (although I wasn't happy with that either, for the reasons that Kaisoku spelled out), but the very idea. The basic concept of an oracle is great, just the sort of thing I want in my campaigns, but I don't want them all to be cursed. I'm not too bothered by this, however, as I have no qualms about simply dropping the whole curse thing and using the class without it. I wasn't terribly excited about the alchemist, but it looks good. While I don't think I'd ever play one, I can already think of ways of using one as an NPC. I don't care for the summoner, though. I don't have a particular complaint about it, I just don't like the flavour.
