In short, I believe magic is more powerful (but do read "The Art of War" for the benefits of proper preparation).

I tend to agree with everyone's statements here. I personally prefer hack/slash over magic. Magic has to many problems in a lot of game worlds. Anti-magic zones (oh boy, mages have a hard time here), Wild magic (almost as bad as anti-magic), possibility of curses, and of course their low hitpoints. That's why I was suggesting a combination class. Otherwise, being a mage totally rocks. As long as you keep your mage healthy and up on their sleep, they are the best class. So, to cap it off, I think fighters are number one overall, but mages are cool for what they can do.
