I disagree with this one, surprisingly. IMO, the Purple Dragon Knight is more simple than the Champion. Though that might not be an entirely fair comparison, considering the PDK doesn't even have a capstone power.

Totem Warrior. The decision process is either rage on or rage off. You dont even have to think about looking at the armour section of the PHB!

You can't disagree with facts. Your definition of 'simplest' is easy to learn and remember how to use. Well, I can't ever remember Purple Dragon Knights level 3 details (other than its kind of mediocre) because the text is so long. Bla bla bla... Second Wind...bla bla... 60 ft... bla bla... 3 creatures... bla bla bla.. hp=fighter level... bla bla... see or hear you.

Champion Fighter? 19-20 crit. Easy.
