[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5419902, member: 35909"] I think Scout, Warlock, Factotum, Dragon Shaman, and Dragonfire Adept are all pretty balanced and flavorful classes, although some suffer from overall bland class features (Scout in particular, all the genuinely cool stuff comes near epic). The Tome of Battle classes are awesome, but questionably balanced (still not as powerful as Wizard, Druid, Cleric, and Sorcerer, though). Beguiler and Duskblade are interesting but I think they're too powerful / toe-stepping (Beguiler just makes Rogue cry and who the hell thought 10 spells per day per level was ok for Duskblade?). Hexblade, Spellthief, and Warmage are interesting and I really like them, but they're generally pretty underpowered. The other base classes I've only used for dips or have ignored completely for the most part. I like a lot of the classes in the 3rd party system Arcana Evolved by Monty Cook, but despite what the book claims, I'd be wary of just mixing them in with 3.5 material. It's not that they're too powerful (in many cases maybe less powerful; Factotum seems just plain better than Akashic even though the latter is my favorite class of...ever), I just get the impression they wouldn't mix well.
