Class: Noble: is it necessary
Is the Noble class really necessary? I think Aristocrat can reflect your typical noble, and Fighter, Paladin or Cleric your more adventurous nobles.

I think for 3.x Noble is the only essential class. Its the adventuring classes that are optional.

The BRCS noble reflects the only class designed for province rulership. Several factors were added to make it more "playable' than the aristocrat (which as an NPC class is specifically weaker than PC classes).

One might find a variety of more useful noble classes elsewhere. Many settings now include such a class, some more appropriate than others.
I would certainly not describe the BRCS noble as essential to the setting. It is a class devoid of benefits a regent doesn't already possess in greater abundance.
I can see why Arentak, or anyone else would wonder why bother with it.

A noble class designed for ruling domains through the right skills and abilities is the only essential class. Noble classes designed as wealthy fighters required to take regional feats, or from settings that don't match BR (say the Star Wars Noble) are not the noble class that I am referring to.
If a noble class is designed to do the business of ruling, every character who rules needs at least a taste of it.
If a noble class is designed for something else (too knightly, or do much just a diplomat) it may or may not be useful, but its hardly essential.
