How about the Master class from the War of the Lance?
There is double untruth there:
- The "don't get anything useful" - Adept gets Familiar (and may qualify for Hexer PrC), Expert - open class skill selection made it popular choice for pre-Factotum skillmonkeys; Aristocrat is about the only class which can make WbLmancy at 1st level; and even Commoner still gets Handle Animal (Bubs!), and may qualify to Survivor at 2nd level
- "the Only Combat D&D game" - not all games of D&D are "Only Combat": for example, intrigue game shouldn't include too much of combat; and for "monster survival" game, Combat is a failure
