All the classes I hated vanished. So there's no point for me to vote. Maybe someone should give a brief overview of the remaining classes.
Archivist: Think arcane cleric. Delver of lost, forgotten lore. Pries into secrets man was not meant to know. Casts prepared divine spells from the cleric list, but unlike most other divine casters the archivist keeps a prayer book similar to how a wizard keeps their spells. The trick there lies in that they can learn divine spells from any divine caster class list if they encounter a scroll of the particular spell.
Beguiler: Is to enchantment and illusion spells what the dread necromancer is to necromancy, and the warmage is to evocation.
Binder: Compacts with vestiges of dead gods and other lost beings of great power to channel some of their essence in the form of a thematically linked set of abilities.
Duskblade: A 20 level fighter/mage class, essentially.
Psion: The psionic version of the wizard (ignoring the erudite), but additionally you have to specialize in a particular type of psionics: telepathy, kinetics, etc.
Psychic Warrior: A fighter/psion, but their casting uses a different stat (wis instead of int), and their class list of powers tend to be more direct-action and self-augmentation oriented.
Scout: The wilderninja. A ranger with less focus on fighting and more on exploration. Oh, and no divine spellcasting or animal companion.
Warlock: A caster that's bound themselves to a dangerous extraplanar entity of some kind in exchange for power. Instead of casting spells, they learn to manifest incantations which are spell-like abilities. They only know a very (very) small number of incantations, but they can use what they know whenever they want.
