Hello Ezekial!

Probably the best non-Fighter for fighting is the Blade. A fighter-type who can cast Tenser's Transformation, Stoneskin, Mirror Image & Mislead, and can dual-wield Belm and Celestial Fury (and eventually, if you have ToB, the Scarlet Ninja-to), is powerful indeed.

Clerics might be second, or Swashbucklers might be second. Clerics get nice armour, shields and helmets, but with time (and ToB) any Rogue could have them, too. On the other hand, Clerics get many melee-buffing spells (Draw Upon Holy Might, Armor of Faith, Holy Power, Righteous Magic, uh ... lots more!).

I guess we need to define the problem better: are we allowing 'self-buff' spells, are we allowing ToB high-level abilities, are we allowing familiars (another bonus for Blades over Swashbucklers)?
