While I'm sure a lot of time went into listing all of these classes, without any idea of what they do, for a lot of people they will just be words meaning nothing listed under the names of books they have never heard of.

I plan on gradually adding in descriptions :smallwink: Just...over 400 descriptions seemed like a lot to do at once (I already had the list on my computer).

EDIT: My first step will be to highlight the classes I think are particularly good though.

If such descriptions were added, the thread would suddenly become a much more useful resource. I think a lot of people would like a thread where they could go to get a quick summary of obscure classes, whether they are looking for something particular or just looking for inspiration.

That's what I'm hoping for with this thread :smallsmile: As it is, I recognize that it's, uh, pretty much useless. I'm going through and putting up descriptions for classes I can remember off the top of my head now. Hopefully I'll be done in a month or so.

[Tokuhara]

Holy Bleepity Bleep Bleep! You are my hero. I adore obscure classes. They make my DMs scream in nerd rage as they accuse some of these classes as "Overpowered," including the rare melee class that was balanced off of Wizard...

[Chronos]

It'd also be helpful to nest some more spoilers for particular categories (everything from a particular publisher, for instance). In particular, the official WotC-endorsed ones should be separated out.

As it is, it's not even clear what the order of them is.

Haha thanks! I'm also a HUGE fan of obscure classes... hence the obsessive list :smallbiggrin:

[The-Mage-King]

Hm. Maybe we could add rough tier estimates?


I know that Chaos Mage, for one, is at LEAST Tier 2. Probably about T1.


Let's get started. :smallbiggrin:





Also, toss on the DSP (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/psionic-classes) stuff. Because DSP.

[Suddo]

I have to second this.

Also you should list what your favorite 3rd Party books are. I was thinking about grabbing some but some just look terrible.

[Grinner]

While it's good to see many of the larger names in third party material recognized, this list seems...incomplete.

Where's the Dreamscarred Press's psionic classes (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/)? Or Radiance House's binder classes?

Secrets of Pact Magic should be on there. I put them on, but I have 5 or so copies of this list on my computer...I might have actually put a (slightly :smallwink:) incomplete one up.

However, I was unaware of Dreamscarred Press's...existence. Thanks for showing me! I'll add them in a minute.

[Psyren]

Since you're including 3rd-party, and NPC classes, Dreamscarred Press made a psionic Adept-like class called the Augur. (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/augur)

There's a number of other classes on that wiki as well, coming from their other published d20 works like Untapped Potential, the Mind Divine, High Psionics etc, such as the Society Mind, Marksman and Thoughtsinger. See here. (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/base-classes)

EDIT: Cursed ninjas!

[Grinner]

Tiers would be good. And I'm adding the DSP stuff now (I'd never seen that particular resource before).

Yeah I know. A lot of formatting an organization has to happen. The thing is, this was originally my own personal resource I'd use for inspiration when homebrewing or writing adventures, so I never needed it to be that organized :smallconfused:

I'll separate WotC ones out soon also.

[mattie_p]

Umm, under the player's handbook there should be 11 base classes. You left out monk. Was that deliberate?

And I second that you differentiate between official WOTC and 3rd-party publishers, as not all DMs permit 3rd party. Also, versioning would be nice - isn't Oriental Adventures 3.0?

Great work so far, though.

[Grinner]

Have you also included Villains of Pact Magic?

The monk was deliberate when I made this list for myself. I did mean to add it in when I put the list online though though thanks for reminding me!

I did :smallsmile:

I can help. You want me to pick a section and make summaries i can do that. I'm not sure if we can go further than that. (copyrights yada yada)

[Empedocles]

It'd be great if you could help :smallsmile:

Yeah. I think that we should limit the classes descriptions to a few key categories:

Tier
Role (spellcaster, skill monkey, gish, etc.)
VERY broad overview of the flavor. Give closest PHB or official PrC approximation.
Give the most important details (e.g. the Theurge from Mythic Vistas: Medieval Player's Handbook uses more ritualistic details).
If racial or alignment restrictions exist, specify them.

So for example, I'm thinking a description could look like this.

Corwyl, Village of the Wood Elves (Green Ronin Publishing)
The Cerellian Knight
Low Tier 4 melee fighter, similar to ranger with the ability to boost his strength in a manner similar to a barbarian. Good only.

[Randomguy]

You should probably list third party classes and official classes separately, since many DM's don't allow third party classes and some books are so obscure that it's hard to tell at first glance whether they're one or the other.

[Empedocles]

On it now :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

EDIT: Finished, although all of the monster classes and racial paragon classes are still under the 3rd party publisher list. I'll fix that in a few.

Don't forget the 2 Eberron classes listed there as well.

Dragonlance Races of Ansalon has the Nightstalker base class.

[Giegue]

Just a word of warning; the secret collage of Necromancy's Necromancer class is broken. Like infamously broken. So much in fact that you should probably put up a warning telling people it's just that broken. It gets 9th level spells BEFORE A WIZARD, and gets Energy Drain(a 9th level spell) as an SLA before it gets 9th level spells. I just thought I'd let you know.

While it gets spells quicker, and more of them, they are quite limited. I'd pick wizard casting over Necromancer any day of the week.
Energy Drain once per day is... less than impressive. An Ur-Priest can prepare it at level 14, and a wizard can just do Split Ray on an Enervation and get the same results. As ninth level spells go, Energy Drain is not that impressive.

[Giegue]

I suppose your right, and the class is very flavorful compared to other necromancers I've seen so it gets a pass I suppose. However, Encyclopedia Arcana: Necromancy Beyond the Grave is still my all time 3rd party supplement dealing with necromancy. That and hollowfaust. I have a massive collection of 3rd party necromancy-related books since Necromancy and Enchantment are my favorite magic schools in the entire game. The Necromancer from Secret Collage is still a unique class, and has some very, very nice and flavorful exclusive spells. It's a nice alternative to the Dread Necro for those who want an arcane necromancer who is not as fail at making undead at the wizard, though the Dread Necro is still an awesome class. I've played a secrect collage necromancer before, with the intent to "ballance" it after I played it, needless to say it was a fun class. A good necromancer to boot. The lack of awaken undead saddened me, though.

I'll list it as Tier 1, which is pretty much saying it's broken.

[The-Mage-King]

Hm. I see a way to make it better organized...



Organize it into a table in a word processor with a search and replace function, then proceed to fill in the table appropriately.


Then copy, paste here, copy the pasted thing to a second document, and use the replace to fix the table. Tada! Organized, and sortable by source, tier, name, or type!

When you need to update parts, just fill in the original table more, copy/paste/copy, replace, and continue.

Uh...

How? Like a spreadsheet organizer? Because when you say "word processor" I think Microsoft Word (which is what I use) but I don't know how to do that on word...

[OracleofSilence]

The Eberron Players Guide, Savage Species, and Unearthed Arcana are all WOTC, aside from that, it looks good.

[Empedocles]

Alright, I've decided on how I'm going to (eventually) organize this. I'll have classes organized by publisher and classes organized by "role" (spellcaster, gish, fighter, etc.). Each class will have a spoiler that has a description that includes approximate Tier and a brief description.

Sound good?

[The-Mage-King]

Uh...

How? Like a spreadsheet organizer? Because when you say "word processor" I think Microsoft Word (which is what I use) but I don't know how to do that on word...

Alright. Word has an option to make a table in the "Insert" tab. You can add as much as you want, OR make it from a list, like the one you have.

Tell you what. I'll throw together a table, and post it in a couple of hours. If you PM me your email, I can send you a copy of the word doc I'll be using for creating the base table. Sound good?

I know how to make a table. I thought you were saying make a search function to people could type something in to a bar and find anything it the table. I can put it in a table if that's all you were saying.

As long as your are doing this Herculean Labour, wanna do prestige classes too? :smallsmile:

Uh...............no. Sorry :smallfrown: I have a very strong, slightly irrational dislike of PrCs. It'd be cool if someone put that together, but it's not going to be me. Sorry, I just don't care enough about them.

[Particle_Man]

No worries. Compiling the Base Classes is a fine task in and of itself.

Hey wanna do all the playable races? :smallsmile:

Well, it's the whole "make table, then copy-paste to get it to look right on the forum" thing.


See, when a table from Word is copied to the forum, it... Well, gets some spaces to either side of the cell. What's inside these quotes " ". Note the size.

Control+H lets you search a Word doc for something and replace it. That's what I was suggesting be done- create table in Word, copy to here, copy the copy to another Word doc, and replace those things between data with |s.

Here, have the WotC sanctioned base classes, including the ECS and Dragon Comp stuff that you missed.

Whoa.

Thanks! If I could get a couple people to help me...everyone could do about 50 classes in a table. Then I'll put them all together (and probably open a new thread with a nice, fancy new table at the top of the page).

Did approximate Tiers...not sure if they're all right though :smallconfused:

A few aren't. Like Warmage.


Read here (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=658.0). That's the most recent posting, and it should help figure these out for some.

[killem2]

It'd be great if you could help :smallsmile:



I'll admit I'm not great with the tier business, here is an example of what I was thinking:

GREENBOND
“I sing through the land, and the land sings through me.”
The greenbond is a mage who deals with nature. He speaks
the language of the leaves, of a babbling brook, or the stony
heartrock of a mountain. He remains in tune with the health of
the land around him. The greenbond is an animist who deals
with the spirits animate within all things—trees, rocks, rivers,
ponds, and even the air around him.


What ever you think though.

So basically try to convey the flavor of the class in a few sentences? That's a great idea :smallsmile:

On the DSP wiki, there is also the nexus (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/nexus) class (full rules in the process of being put up).

I'd say mountebank is tier 4. Also, that list looks very similar to what we're going for except we're doing it with significantly over 400 classes.... and we're adding in descriptions. What have I gotten myself into??

I participated!

I added a tier to shadowcasters (they're tier 4), changed duskblade's tier (they're low tier 3, not tier 4), added the psychic rogue class from online (I think it goes in this table) and a few roles.

I'm wondering whether I should have counted the cleric and druid as gishes, since they get decent melee capability.

What role would Binder be? Caster? Gish?

[The-Mage-King]

Utility. They get changable stuff, so...

[Empedocles]

Agreed. Utility role :smallsmile:

Actually, since I have access to a lot of what you have listed here, what are the rules when it comes to this d20/srd/ogl whatever business in regards to posting it out right here?

What are the limitations?

Basically, it's the flavor we have to be careful about overdoing. Most crunch is published under the OGL, but all images and fluff is considered closed game content. Despite this, it's probably unwise to actually give any specific crunchy stuff (like you can say the greenbond is a spellcaster who speaks with nature, but don't say it has a low BAB progression).

[eggs]

Cool project. Really, really ambitious.

I'm not really sifting through the list for omissions, but two that stood out were Frost & Fur and Rokugan Campaign setting, which have a few more classes.
Just a quick rundown and Tier rundown, in case that's going in here:

F&F:
Godi - Like a cleric with an extra domain, extra skills, no turning and a crappier spell list. T2.
Vitki - Full-casting buffer with severely limited spell list and few powerful high-level effects, but a breakable casting mechanic. T3.
Voela - Nerfed Druid with decent spell list, but a terrible casting mechanic. From T2 to T5, depending on circumstances. Let's say T3.
Angakoq - Ghost-themed Druid-type. T2.
Cossack - Mundane mounted combat. T6.
Koldun - Evil Charisma-based Wizard. Very limited, but very powerful spells. T2, but with a lot of potential to suck.
Volkhov - Divine caster with powerful spell list, Druid framework. T2.

RCS:
[Samurai/Shugenja reprinted from Oriental Adventures]
Courtier - Social skillmonkey designed for Diplomancy with built-in Leadership (but Fighter/Samurai cohorts only). Without abusing Diplomacy too hard, probably T5.
Ninja - Funky combat-focused Rogue. T5.
Inkyo - Monk, minus the class abilities. T6.

There's also Kobold Paragon (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060127a), if you're trying to account for all of those.

Whoa. Thanks! Surprised I missed that much. Also, if anyone has the Sovereign Stone Campaign Setting, I know that it has a couple of base classes. I can probably find them online but I have no idea what Tier or such they would be...

[Empedocles]

Added frost and fur, adding Rokugan Setting in a minute. Need to recount the number of classes, and would like to have the number of official WotC classes, number of monster classes, paragon classes, and 3rd party publisher's classes.

[Empedocles]

Officially recruiting helpers for tabling this now...

My little contribution.

I personally would be fine with just Name|Book|Approximate Tier|Approximate Role|Any note on why they are in the tier, what type of system they use (Psionic, Arcane, Divine...).
I personally will only care about things that are Tier 4 and higher and will read over everything I would allow before allowing it, as the DM, so just a quick Tier number would be good enough.

[eggs]

If we're doing the Class/Book/Tier/Role/Notes tables, I could go through the materials I'm familiar with tomorrow (probably Pact Magic classes, DSP srd, Arcana Evolved, Advanced Player's Manual; maybe a couple Mythic Vistas), but that's about all I can say from firsthand experience/observation (unless we're also going PF, but just seems like too much).

@OP Do you have access to all the materials listed, or is finding someone who does going to be a part of the indexing?

I have access to them all with the exception of the Sovereign Stone Campaign Setting, which I believe contains about 6 base classes.

Would you mind removing the quote tags from the new list? If you quote a post with a quote in it, the quotes in the post aren't shown, to avoid a tunnel of quotes, meaning that people can't add on to your new, modified table, so they'd need to add them on manually.

Okay.
Here's what I have at hand (except Testament, but I'm burning out).

I'm ignoring Paragon classes because they work more like Prestige classes, and rarely have any meaningfully distinguishing characteristics. If anyone feels they should be included, feel free to toss them in.

I included a couple class variants that have huge alterations of play performance (Psychic Ranger, Psionic Soul Weaver, maybe something else) and that have different names (which might *sound* like big changes, until they're examined.

Note that there's also an Exorcist: Power Class which is, as far as I can tell, a cleric which gets slightly fewer spells but has bonus turn attempts and nifty things it can do with those turn attempts.

The exorcist is included on the 1st page, which is the complete list. The one above still leaves out quite a bit.

Added in Testament. Some tiers are iffy though.

I browsed a couple other books to get through some more of the bigger chunks. I didn't realize how many Paladin-clones Arcanis had. :smalleek: A couple look kind of fun, though (Twilight Warrior especially)

EDIT: Spoilered

[Empedocles]

I personally really like Arcanis' Paladin clones. They're relatively high powered for melee and quite flavorful. Arcanis has a couple other classes from Campaign supplements, which I put below.

{table=head] CLASS |BOOK |TIER |ROLE |NOTES
Occisor|Arcanis - Psionics Unbound|4|Gish/Skillmonkey|A rogue-esque soulknife variant that doesn't utterly suck.
Rhi'zen|Arcanis - Psionics Unbound|3|Psionics/Melee|Monk flavored Psychic Warrior.
Swamp Lord of Pit Sseth|Arcanis - Psionics Unbound|1|Spellcaster/Manifester|Weird class that can cast and manifest. Only gets up to 7th level spells........and powers.
Mist Wanderer|Arcanis-Psionics Unbound|3|Manifester/Skillmonkey|A rogue flavored manifester with Psionic Warrior manifesting progression.
Conflagration Knight|Arcanis-Theocracy of Canceri|4|Melee|A paladin with fire.
Nerothian Reaper|Arcanis-Theocracy of Canceri|3|Melee|A necromantic paladin with animating abilities.
Sarishan Knife|Arcanis-Theocracy of Canceri|4|Melee/Sneak|An assassin class with Ranger spellcasting progression.[/table]

Bam. Also, I'm getting Sovereign Stone in a week or so (ordered it via Amazon) which should complete the initial list of base classes.

Witch|Master Class-Witch's Handbook|2|Spellcaster|Re-flavored wizard with transmutation focus. Basically an alter self monster. Tier 2 because no conjuration.
Shaman|Master Class-Shaman's Handbook|1|Spellcaster/Buffer|Basically the exact same thing as a cleric, but with more druidic flavor.
Cavalier|Master Class-Cavalier's Handbook|4|Melee|Fighter with progression picked out. More class features so it is more playable then a fighter.
Dark Heart|Dezzavold-Fortress of the Drow|4|Melee|Barbarian with more class features and much darker fluff.
Netherstrider|Dezzavold-Fortress of the Drow|4|Melee|Wild and uncivilized unarmed fighter. Full BAB with Flurry of Blows though!
Yogi|Complete Guide to Rakshasas|3|Gish/Buffer|Complete Guide to Rakshasas|Decent class, like a monk with Bard spellcasting progression.

Okay, put all the tables so far together.

[Empedocles]

Added in Master Classes (except Avatar's handbook. I don't have that one) and a few classes from racial supplements.

[Empedocles]

Put the table on the 1st page also. Anyone willing to do the Power Classes?

[eggs]

This is getting me to look at a lot of classes I wouldn't otherwise. The Yogi and the Swamplord are pretty cool.

And looking over the Blood Druid's summoning, that is crazy. :smalleek:

After leafing though Dragonmech and Chaos Mage, I think I'm going to avoid the weird systems until I have a chance to play with them. I'll look at the Mythic Vistas next.

[Empedocles]

Most mythic vistas are done, except Medieval Player's Handbook and (should we include this?) Red Star. My next step is going to be to add the Legends & Lairs "Path of X" supplements, the WoW Campaign Setting for d20, and do Nyambe - African Adventures' alternative classes.

As for the yogi, I've actually played one - a yaksha elf yogi 3. It got slaughtered when the party attacked an aurak draconian way earlier when they were supposed to (they tried to immobilize it with web and then set the web on fire...but the aurak could teleport. 4 out of 6 of the players died, and that's because I was nice and didn't use my breath weapon at the end) but pre-death it was a very fun class to play.

EDIT: I can do Dragonmech. I've run two separate campaigns with it actually, and Chaos Mage is pretty easy: straight up Tier 1. It's ridiculously powerful.

[Empedocles]

Okay, added in Blackmoor, Swashbuckling Adventures, Wilderlands of High Fantasy, and Iron Kingdoms.

[eggs]

There's something weird going on with the tables' sort function. It looks like it's clustering our entries separately, probably due to spacing. Not anything to worry about now, but once this is done, it'd be really handy to be able to sort by Role and Tier.

Anyway, here are the MVs, before I have to step out into anything new:

Parson |Masque of the Red Death |6 |Cannonfodder |Class features like the cleric's, without the spells (the -4 penalty adds insult to injury)
Physician |Masque of the Red Death |6 |Skillmonkey |10+Int skill points look interesting. Rigid skill lists and no class features do not. (And a Code of Conduct! :p)

I'm starting to wonder if there are any D&D writers who didn't sit down and say "let's write a class about social skills and give it a bunch of rubbish powers, but tag Leadership on, just to play it safe." :smalltongue:

EDIT:
Missed Black Company. I'll get that, Thieves World and Masque of the Red Death next.

EDIT2:
Added to this post's chart. And seriously. Two more Diplomacy+Leadershippers.

Yeah...whenever I got to one of those I called it a "Social/skillmonkey" role. I just...can't imagine why anyone thought a class thats main feature was leadership would help anyone...

In other news, I ran into a problem while Tiering the mech pilot. As a class by itself the mech pilot has next to no abilities...except for when he's in a mech, at which point he's like upper Tier 2. I think I'm going to go through and find WBL and an average mech that corresponds to that wealth, and assume that's the mech the mech pilot has....

EDIT: Not sure why the tables aren't letting us reorganize :smallfrown:

EDIT #2: Put the above list onto the main table. Still need to do Warcraft, Thieve's World, Dragonstar, Dragonmech, Path of X, some Encyclopaedia Arcane classes, and Avalance Press (:smallmad:)...should Iron Heroes be included?

EDIT #3: put in some minor classes from random supplements. Discovered that the complete guide to wererats has some base classes....

[Empedocles]

Anyone know any classes that aren't on the table and I haven't already mentioned?

[Sdonourg]

There is a Bio-Psion class in Dragonstar - Player's Companion and some classes in Elements of Magic book series.

Thanks :smallsmile: Putting them in now. Any idea what Tier the alternate mage classes from Elements of Magic are?

[eggs]

Tossing in a couple more.

{table=head]CLASS |BOOK |TIER |ROLE |NOTES
Gamba Fighter |Nyambe: African Adventures |5 |Melee |Fighter with half feats, Barbarian traits like speed, skills, DR
Mchawi Wizard |Nyambe: African Adventures |1 |Caster |Wizard spell list, Necromancy specialization, Reincarnates after dying
Nanala Rogue |Nyambe: African Adventures |4 |Skillmonkey |Rogue with Bonus feats, flexibly-ordered class features
N'anga Cleric |Nyambe: African Adventures |1 |Caster |Influenced by spirit after spellcasting (as Binder's RP), choose between Druid/Cleric spells, choose between shapeshifting, turning and plant immunities
Sei Sorcerer |Nyambe: African Adventures |2 |Caster |Sorcerer casting, a couple spells-known taxes, gain dragon-modeled abilities (DCs need fixing)
Animal Lord |Sorcery & Steam |4 |Melee |Barbarian-type with skill-based Rage-type. Can get Pounce or Trip (as wolf) at level 1
Artificer |Sorcery & Steam |5 |Skillmonkey |Builds inexpensive nonmagical items, large bonuses to disable device
Musketeer |Sorcery & Steam |5 |Melee |Feats from a relevant list, mobility skills
Thaumaturgist |Book of Fiends |1 |Caster |Cleric casting with familiar, daily free action summons and random deformations
Nomad |Nile Empire |6 |Melee |Gain AC and Attack bonuses with each attack per round
Scribe |Nile Empire |6 |Skillmonkey |Has Contacts, a weird mix of unarmed combat feats and a framework that can't use them
Trader |Nile Empire |6 |Skillmonkey |Bonus skill points as a class feature; still comes up shy of 6+Int skill classes
Arcane Mekanic |Iron Kingdoms |3 |Crafter |Builds/uses steampunk components of IK, Bard-rate prepared spells from Wizard list
Bodger |Iron Kingdoms |5 |Skillmonkey |Craft-focus; all about quick-and-dirty toolmaking and repairs
Fell Caller |Iron Kingdoms |4 |Buffer |Bardic Music, plus a variety of offensive mind-effects (Area fear and confusion, blasting)
Gun Mage |Iron Kingdoms |3 |Gish |Delivers spells with bullets, built-in Arcane Strike
[/table]

I think Iron Kingdoms is at least as good a fit as a bunch of things on the list - it doesn't even change the casting mechanics in ways like Arcana Evolved or Thieves' World. I only know the core book classes, though. I tossed those in, and will see if I can track down any more (if there are any more) later on.

[Sdonourg]

Thanks :smallsmile: Putting them in now. Any idea what Tier the alternate mage classes from Elements of Magic are?

Sadly, no. I have almost no sense of balance, so I wanted to hear other people's opinions :smallsmile:.

[eggs]

There are Magic of Arcanis's base classes.

AEG's Magic has a bunch of extra mages. Most are essentially Sorcerer/Wizard variants, but there are some neat things like a Monk-type with Strength-based spells.

I can get both of those. I'm starting to dig this Arcanis setting (never noticed it before).

It's a shame most of Magic is horribly imbalanced; the Arcane Monk (http://www.purpleduckgames.com/arcane-monk) and Runewright are pretty cool.

I like the Flesh Mage too as a sort of buffer wizard, and the arcane monk is cool especially since it's actually balanced.

I found a few articles on the Lion's Den Press classes but no downloads

Basarian Dancer

The book describes them as "variant" classes per DMG but they are full classes

Dear Avalanche Press,

What is wrong with you? :smallannoyed:

XOXO
-eggs

I find it hard to believe Avalanche Press creates work of such...abysmal quality..................

On another note, Arcana Unearthed got it right I think, and I now have access to Sovereign Stone :smallbiggrin:

[Empedocles]

Sovereign Stone addd. And I am IMPRESSED at their spellcasting system.

[Set]

Green Ronin stuff;

The Eternal Rome supplement has a base class called the Gladiator, not the Charioteer.

Green Ronin also has base class books for;
Assassin, Cavalier, Noble, Shaman, Psychic, Unholy Warrior and Witch.

Also the Holy Warrior from the Book of Righteous Might.

Crisis in Freeport has the Corsair.

The Cultist NPC class can be found in Freeport: City of Adventure or the Freeport Trilogy.

The Dragon Compendium has the Battle Dancer, the Death Master, the Jester, the Mountebank, the Savant, the Sha'ir and the Urban Druid.

All of those except the corsair are in the comprehensive list I believe, but they might have been left out since the list I posted (not the table) is not my most complete. Thanks for the charioteer catch :smallbiggrin:

[Empedocles]

Added a bunch of Alderac Entertainment's classes and some other obscure stuff. Been hunting like a mad man for classes! :smallamused:

[Empedocles]

Added in Swashbuckling Arcana. EXCELLENT supplement! Plans to use it in the future :smallwink:

I'm just trying to go down the list in order now. So here are the Path of Xs:

{table=head]CLASS |SOURCE |TIER |ROLE |NOTES

Arsenalist |Path of Magic |1 |Caster |Wizard trades some feats for the ability to make gunpowder/firearms; wizard spell access

Put those in the main table and added the corsair. Boring class :smallyuk:

[Empedocles]

From now on, whenever something is added to the main table I'll be deleting stuff off of the lists since the initial post is now too big (over 5000 characters). I added in the Deadlands classes, and got rid of the monster classes in the list.

[Empedocles]

Added the Brave from Deadlands, which I left out by accident the 1st time.

[eggs]

Going a bit further down the list:
{table=head]CLASS |SOURCE |TIER |ROLE |NOTES

[/table]


Black Flag's Soldier isn't statted out (it just says to look at the Fighter), so I didn't include it.

Midnight's magic made the setting look very clever. I would be shocked if anyone didn't take the spellcasting feats, and taking those plays right into the narrative of Players v. Witchhunting evil empire. I'm a big fan of that sort of tricksy system bribery.

I'm skipping Mechamorphosis, since it really doesn't seem appropriate.

Added these to the table, but now the lists are really messed up...

[astrerouge]

I won't be picky. Thanks for telling me, I'll add it in a few :smallsmile:

[Empedocles]

Added the Diablo II classes.

[Empedocles]

Is the table missing anything?

[eggs]

There were a bunch of books with 1-2 entries at the bottom of the list that I didn't get down to, Game of Thrones, a bunch of Mongoose and AEG stuff, and I'm sure plenty that I don't know.

Also I ran into this (http://www.scribd.com/eagrab/d/36819252-Net-Book-of-Classes-Complete-List-of-Classes) list, which I'm just going to say is daunting (especially if it's just what was out when 3.5 was fresh and new).

Dear...god. I'll grab the stuff at the bottom of the list...but that netbook is scary!

[eggs]

I'm not going to have time to enter a whole lot of other stuff in, but I'll probably be browsing the old AEG books.

I formatted/standardized some of the labels, to improve the search function. I also cleaned up some of the things that looked like oversights/mistypes (eg. gish labels on mundane classes, buffer labels on nonbuffers, misleading progression descriptions).

Thanks. I updated the main table with this one. i have a few new classes I need to add, and I'll finish off the list that used to be up tonight.


Nevermind. Looks like you got the two that I found.

Indeed :smallwink:

[Empedocles]

First edit in awhile: added the Mlar NPC class. Also, going to add Dinosaur World and Deadland d20: To hell and back classes.

Is this proving to be useful for anyone?

[TravelLog]

God yes. It's insanely helpful for finding classes my PCs don't know backwards and forwards.

[danzibr]

Amazing. Job well done, sir.

[Empedocles]

God yes. It's insanely helpful for finding classes my PCs don't know backwards and forwards.

Glad :smallsmile:


Amazing. Job well done, sir.

Appreciate it :smallsmile: Eggs should get most of the credit though :smallwink:

On another note...does anyone know where I could find a supplement called "The Goy..." I've been hunting for it for awhile since it apparently contains some 4-6 base classes. Any help/links is appreciated :smallbiggrin:

[eggs]

Call it a joint effort. I didn't know half of those were even there until I saw that list. :smallsmile:

"The Goy
From Anubium

Prepare for your new lords.

Can you stand toe-to-toe against these warriors of unnatural speed? Are you able to break the will of these indomitable creatures? Will your magic succor you in these darkest times?

No, of course not. You are the slave and they are the masters."


:smalleek:
Seriously.
What.

:smalleek:

I used the word Anubium in the search and got results :smallbiggrin: This strikes me as...bizarre.

EDIT: the supplement, not the description. I might get it tomorrow since it's only like $3 and would add 4 classes to the ever expanding list :smallwink:

[eggs]

I just hope it's not what it sounds like.

Anyway, a few more. I hope their formatting fits in:

{table]CLASS |BOOK |TIER |ROLE |NOTES
Noble |Empire (AEG) |6 |Skillmonkey |Finally a Noble without Leadership (!!!) Otherwise, it's a strangely huge will save on a weak frame.
Enforcer |Guilds (AEG) |6 |Melee |NPC class with a big Intimidate bonus
Barbarian of the Frozen Wastelands |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Melee |Frightful Presence, Strength enhancement, cold resistance
Bard of the Black Crow |Secrets (AEG) |3 |Caster |Debuff bardic music is a step down optimization-wise, but spell as a normal bard.
Seasonal Druid |Secrets (AEG) |1 |Caster |Divine caster with minor seasonal/elemental bonuses. Druid spells.
Breath of the Wind School Monk |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Melee |Monk with saves and feats trades for way too many Flurry attacks and much extra speed.
Charred Chameleon Monk |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Melee |Monk with Bonus feats replaced with half-advancement Sneak attack, scouting bonuses, Hide in Plain Sight (Su)
Fist of Fury Monk |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Melee |Monk without bonus feats, with crappy rage and blasting power.
Jaded Stone School Monk |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Melee |Monk with Hardness, static damage bonus, and a bunch of Toughness feats in place of normal bonus feats and Will save.
Rogue of the Whispering Blades |Secrets (AEG) |3 |Skillmonkey |Rogue with ability damage and combat tricks in place of sneak attack and Trapsense. And Shadowdancer's Hide in Plain Sight as (Ex)
Soldier of Truth|Secrets (AEG) |4 |Melee |Monk, but with UMD, armor, Wis to AC/Ref/attack (multiple iterations of wis), self-revivify, eventually flight (too late for most purposes)
Chaplain |Secrets (AEG) |5 |Healer |Heals damage nonmagically. Has Druid/Marshal chassis. Two varieties - one heals limited times per day, one heals limited times per patient per day.
Desert Ranger |Wilds (AEG) |4 |Melee |Customizable 3.0-style Ranger with bonuses specific to deserts
Woodsman |Wilds (AEG) |5 |Melee |Twist on the 3.0 Ranger with an extra feat, small skill bonuses, much weaker spallcasting
Beast Lord |Wilds (AEG) |4 |Melee |Better animal companion than Druid, natural weapons, minor numeric bonuses, strong melee chassis, capstone calls 5xCha HD of animals
Swamp Ranger |Wilds (AEG) |4 |Melee |Customizable 3.0-style Ranger with bonuses specific to swamps
Mountaineer |Wilds (AEG) |5 |Melee |Ignore difficult terrain, climb bonuses, elemental resistances, DR, Fighter feats at half rate, strong chassis
Tundra Ranger |Wilds (AEG) |5 |Melee |Awesome chassis, flexible bonus feats, minor situational bonuses, no spells.
Archer |Iron Heroes |4 |Melee |Ranged damage-dealer with tag-on effects, best at picking off immobile targets
Armiger |Iron Heroes |5 |Melee |Defensive melee, really swingy token mechanic, abilities stack poorly
Berserker |Iron Heroes |4 |Melee |Rager with a variety of rage powers fueled by enemies' attacks
Executioner |Iron Heroes |4 |Melee |Study enemies and gain debuffs against them; gain sneak attack and free tokens to start encounters. Good skills.
Harrier |Iron Heroes |5 |Skillmonkey |Mobile fighter with numeric attack and defense bonuses equal to squares of movement in a round. Gets Dervish dance ability really late.
Hunter |Iron Heroes |4 |Melee |Scouting and support character. Give allies numerical buffs and tokens (if their classes use them). Use combat maneuvers against multiple opponents. Good skills.
Man-at-Arms |Iron Heroes |4 |Melee |Fighter-type class with floating feats, good skills
Thief |Iron Heroes |4 |Skillmonkey |Elevated skill rank cap, sneak attack, various social skill tricks, ****loads of skill points.
Weapon Master |Iron Heroes |5 |Melee |Focus on one weapon's use. Easy to get weapon tokens, difficult to get enough of them to use class abilities. Generally a Warrior with really big numbers.
Arcanist |Iron Heroes |2 |Caster |Skill-based caster with severe limitations, nasty consequences for faiure or overzealousness, but still can access very powerful effects.[/table]

I was on the fence about including the variant classes, but they're mostly more distinct than a lot of the Cleric/Fighter rehashes, so I let them go.
The Ranger ones were probably a stretch

I wanted to play Game of Thrones before adding it, but after the first session, I really don't think it's compatible.
In D&D, all the classes would take adjustment to fit in, and would probably be low tiers 5-6.
It just has very different priorities and game assumptions.

I just noticed that I'd forgotten Iron Heroes.

[Surzt and Gurzt]

Anyone added dragonmech? Im away from my books at the moment, but they add a few strange-but-fun classes. The ones I remembere were the Steamborg, a versatile cyborg who gradually makes himself more mechanical, and the Gearsmith, a wannabe Artificer.

Just added it, and Judge Dredd.

[Empedocles]

Got ahold of the Goy supplement. Therefore, 4 new classes to add in later tonight.

[Empedocles]

Goy has been added. Also, Dinosaur Planet added :smallsmile:

Unfortunately, the search function has stopped working again. It may be necessary to separate it into 2 tables.

[Empedocles]

Bumping, in the interest of getting more classes.

About to put up To Hell and Back...

Power may vary based on backgrounds, which gives lots of choices at character creation but less as the game progresses.OjiThe Goy4SupportA very strange class that supports the party, but who's main ability is counterspelling...RojinThe Goy4SkillmonkeyA rogue with the ability to counterspell in a manner similar to the oji.WuduThe Goy5SupportA character whose only real ability is an essentially rabid companion.Bronco RiderDinosaur Planet5MeleeWorthless by himself, and about on par with a commoner. However, he gets a dinosaur mount so Tier 5.MachinistDinosaur Planet5SupportAn artificer without any versatility or good powers whatsoever. Basically just makes slightly better weapons.SoldierDinosaur Planet5MeleeA fighter, except futuristic and with less feats.SpyDinosaur Planet5SkillmonkeyA rogue without the combat abilities. Very much James Bond when he's being dapper...just not when he's fighting. Actually quite neat and flavorful, if grossly underpowered.Two-FisterDinosaur Planet5MeleeA wild monk with less special abilities but higher unarmed damage. Still medium BAB though.Wild OneDinosaur Planet4SupportA character that gets a lot of dinosaur companions. You have to admit...it's cool.

And here's part two.

I'd be interested in helping put together a list like this for Pathfinder as well.
