Anti-Paladin is one of the most versatile classes in the game, but have a steep learning curve.

I'd recommend trying out a Transmuter. It is a mage class that has spells that augment his fighting ability and hinder his opponents' fighting ability in addition to being about to deal out some very big damage spells if he wants. Good solo or in a group, and Duo Dimension gives you an added layer of security for learning your way around CF at the later levels. The only drawback is no spear or polearm.

Another option could be to make a Paladin and pick a somewhat active Imm to follow. While empowerment can be challenging, if you overcome that hurdle and roleplay well, paladins are easy to play and they get a good mix of melee (can do a polearm dedication) and supplications.

Hope that helps.
