Fighter (probably with the Pathfinder boosts, to compete with other classes). Alternatively: Use the Iron Heroes Man at Arms. (Removing a few IH idiosyncrasies, you would have a Fighter that can change some of his bonus feats each day, and has more skills.)3. Magister (AE, Arcana Evolved)instead of Wizard. The AE spells and spell system is more interesting and might even be more balanced. Oh, and the need staffs.4. Rogue. I don't know if the Pathfinder boosts are actually useful, but that might be an option.5. Akashic. I just love them. They have a unique appeal to me. They are lore keepers and yet very adaptable. And they can also stand in for a Rogue.6. Warlock. A different type of magic. Sure, it's probably underpowered, but at least with an interesting flavor.<s>7. Warlord. Oh, wait, that's 4E. But I love them! </s>7. Druid. Shapeshifting FTW. complicated, overpowered, but the joy of turning into a Dire Ape or Elephant shouldn't be missed. Greenbond is a good alternative if you more like a plant & healing focused "nature caster", but it lacks the wild shape)8. Ranger. It's a strong archetype. I was tempted to go with Totem Warrior (AE) or Unfettered (also AE), but they have drawbacks (The Totems of the warrior force a certain theme, and the Unfettered is not very nature-focused)9. Champion (AE). Replaces the Paladin. A lot more customization possible and overall feels better designed.10. Bard. If you can find a more powerful variant, great. The "support" character niche is attractive to some players, and Bards have an interesting theme. 11. Mage Blade (AE) or Dusk Blade. The spellcaster/warrior mix that everyone and his grandma wants to play but never gets right. Well, these two are good ones. I think the Dusk Blade is better.</blockquote>
