Never played a Souls game. Is the Prisoner class decent for beginners? I wanted a mix of magic and melee and it seems like that was the best option.

For magic and melee, itd be down to Prisoner vs Astrologer. Prisoner starts with Estoc which is a fantastic weapon for beginners, while Astrologer would have stronger magic in the early game. Their stats are really similar so it comes down to whether you want to start with better spells (Astrologer) or rely on melee to protect yourself until you get the ball rolling on your magic abilities (Prisoner).
