What's your favorite class from any system that ISN'T D&D/Pathfinder?

Hermetic Magus from Ars Magica.
Or any character from GURPS.
Though the partial psion/pilot from Spacemaster is a classic.

Media in Cyberpunk RED.
„Classes” in CPR don't have any effect on what skill or weapon your character can use, they're just extra abilities on top of a largely classless system: Netrunners get to surf the cyberspace, Fixers get to source luxury items, Solos get a combat boost, Medtechs get to treat critical injuries and addiction, Corpos get up to three minions.
Media abilities, Rumours and Credibility, don't have any impact during combat, but they let you see more of the GM's world and change it in the way that they couldn't have planned for. Media are the only Role where the rules explicitly say they can change the world, for better, for worse, for their own gain.
This requires a good GM, but I was lucky to have one and the experience was phenomenal.

I don't have a "favorite class" that's universal across all games, because how much I like a class depends on a proportion of how effective they are in a given game and how engaging it is to make them effective.

What worldbuilding?

The Horseman fan playbook from Apocalypse World. I’m not a huge *World enjoyer though I think AW is the best one, and the class depth in the system in general is usually shallow and not very interesting. But I had a very cool game with this one and despite the light mechanics it’s satisfying. You play what is implied to be a literal herald of the apocalypse and it has a lot of cool abilities to flex into that. Doubt I’ll ever play AW again but I’ll remember it fondly.

Tech-priest/Enginseer/Heretek etcetera from the FFG 40k games. Being good at machines in a science-fantasy setting is a good thing to be.

>Or any character from GURPS
That's clearly too broad for what I'm talking about, but templates are close enough to count.

>>98129782
Do you recall any of those that you enjoyed playing particularly? Perhaps just thematically if none stand out?

I like the Shedding Vicar in Mork Borg. A fucked up, brutal, disgusting, vile "human" with abilities revolving around flaying himself (and others).
