So I'm new to RPGs in general (as in I have never played one) and I want to start a character that requires as little knowledge as possible when it comes to the rules. Or if possible, a class that starts out being very simple to use and gradually becomes more complicated, so that I'd have to learn. Does anyone have any suggestions?
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

I figured something along those lines.

what would be the easiest magic using class please?

I'm gonna say Cleric. Anyone have a different opinion?

I'd say sorcerer, because its spontaneous casting and that means you don't have to worry about how many of which spell to memorize, like most of the other spellcasters do.

Sorceror is by far the easiest spellcasting class for a beginner.

However, we already have two sorcerors in the party, while we only have one high competency melee class (the ranger).  We could really do with another melee class, like a fighter, paladin or barbarian to balance things out.  Especially since our ranger isn't exactly a tank, either.

It's settled, then. I'm going fighter.

The count stands at 1 fighter, 1 ranger, 1 rogue, 1 cleric, 2 sorcerers.

Hey are you guys still accepting party members?  I'd sure like to play!  I'm happy to take whatever class would be good to balance out the party, sounds like a paladin might do the trick.

Awesome!  I'm excited, and currently reading through this whole thread right now.

I'm very glad that we aren't playing 4th ed.  God, the new rules suck so much, it's like they institutionalized power gaming. :horrormirth:

Exactly!! This may take a few to get off the ground (still waiting on a few people to get me their character sheets  :argh!: ) And now that the party is so big I'll have to figure out something else, because the campaign I was thinking just will not work with so many people.  :sad:
