If you have 3 clerics, undead are a cakewalk.I really welcomed the warlock because it extends the spectrum "easy pf play / few options <-> "difficult to run / many options", in order to accomodate a larger span of game styles. Plus it has a nice background (actually, I house-ruled the favourite class of tiefling to warlock in my games just for the flavour).Sorcerers and warlocks are good choices for those who want a simple character able to do something, maybe of little effect, each round. Usually that thing is blasting some enemy. Of course there must always be some sort of silent accord between player and DM, even if you play a sorcerer. If your sorcerer's best spells are based on fire and you run a session where most of the opponents are resistant to fire, the party's wizard is more likely of star, since he will probably put some proverbial rabbit out of the hat that you can't do.Warlocks are probably the best caster choice for absolute beginner, since they are almost guaranteed to be able to zap something and have some fun.On the other side of the spectrum, I'm currently playing a ToM Binder in my current group. This goes even farther then the wizard on the "planning" side, since most of its class abilities must be chosen and kept for 24 hours. this requires a good deal of synergy with your DM, because if you choose the wrong vestige(s) you're basically wallpaper for the whole session. Since our DM is good and occasionally "spoils" a bit of information on the next session, both in game and privately, when it's really important, I sometimes ended being the pivotal character for the success of the adventure.</blockquote>
