[Mr.Bookworm]

Wikipedia has a list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternate_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_classes#3rd _and_3.5_editions), surprisingly enough.

[Forb]

This (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/class) is the superior list.

That one has Barbarian on it like 5 times, and cleric 5 times as well.

lets also not forget the 5 bards :smallbiggrin:

[maximus25]

Yeah, there are a whole lotta duplicates.

5 bards, 5 barbarians and 5 clerics? It's the perfect party

They're on there so many times because it mentions all the racial sub levels.

15 PCs? Ouch. I ran a campaign that big... bigger actually. The combat scenarios were painfully tedious. After 4 sessions, we all worked together to right a house rule on large combat scenarios to expedite it. I never kept the rules because they were clunky and unfair, but it sped up the process.

Of course, I like the idea of a 5 Bard, or 5 Barbarian, or 5 Cleric campaign... well maybe not 5 Cleric. All those heavy armored healers around, that might be a bit OP. But it would be interesting to see how a campaign would play out if you had a bunch of people with all the same skill sets. It would certainly change up the battle strategy from: blast from a distance with spell-casters and ranged fighter, then send in the meat tank, buff him up with spell-casters, flank with your sneaky melee types, repeat until opponent is dead.

I like forcing my PCs to think outside the box. One PC in a campaign of mine stumbled into a Dread Blossom Swarm at night by his lonesome and was getting his butt handed to him. In a surprise move, his hastily removed his armor, emptied his flask of hard liquor onto his clothing and lit himself on fire. I had to agree that would kill what is essentially nothing more than a flower, and cause the rest of the Dread Blossoms to flee, but he took severe fire damage for it before finding a river to douse himself in. The rest of the party found him the next morning near death by a river and healed his wounds. I ruled that his body was now covered in burn tissue once the scabs healed and would receive a +2 to Intimidate and a -2 to Diplomacy.

This is the superior list.

I get a 404 error when I click on it.:smallfrown:

[GilesTheCleric]

This (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/class) is the new address. All old WotC links now have archive.wizards rather than www.wizards. See also the link in my sig to get to other content that WotC has removed.

Murky, I think you ought to go over the forum rules (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/announcement.php?a=1) one more time.

You've been around for five years and don't know about handbooks (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=8914.0)?

It might be because you're in a thread from several years ago.

However, for anyone looking, Crystal Keep once hosted a full list from all official books and Dragon magazines, which can still be found some places like here:

oh no undead thread turn it turn now ahhhI can't help but read that in a full-on, dead monotone. It sounds utterly ridiculous in my head.
