More than merely being able to function (a very low bar indeed), every class in the game has something it's genuinely good at. We might rank the classes as a sort of composite score for the entire game, but in truth few players use or want to use the entire game. Even the much-maligned wizard has jobs it's well-suited for and specific types of players i'd highly recommend it to; just the things it's best at might be more limited in scope than the strengths of what I'd call a stronger class. That's no problem at all if the player in question likes those specific jobs.

Function across all aspects of the game only becomes a problem when MMO-gamer minmaxer perception starts to creep in and you get people who think if you can't tank Vulak then you can't tank a Scrawny Gnoll, either. They're out there, although there are seemingly less of them on P1999 than there were in the original game.
