<p>In general, I prefer casters because the sheer number of options they have means you might as well not even be playing the same game as the guys without spells. My first Pathfinder character ever was a buff/control wizard. He was the linchpin of most of the party's plans, and that campaign still stands as some of the most fun I've ever had with the game.</p>
<p>I say "in general" because the paladin is cool enough that it's actually my favorite class despite all that stuff I just said.</p>Well, you did ask us to vote with favorites...
