Reasons to love the BB:

- Cheap as chips
- Hits hard, very hard...at later levels
- Who doesn't like smacking monsters with their bere fists? It's just so macho

Reasons to hate the BB:

- No Magic. So that's no healing, no support, and no attack spells
- Can only attack one monster at a time
- Piss poor defense. He's melee and you need to put him near the back
- BB = Master pretty much. I hear one's got more Magic Defense than the other, but that's about it.

Think what you will, I don't believe in "useless classes" in RPGs.
