The EVERY CLASS EVER List: Can You Add to It?

[Abandoned Arts]

I'm collecting class names. I'll hit you with what I've got, and you'll see if you can add to it.

Here are the rules. Fantasy / fantasy-steampunk genres only. Adventuring classes only (Necromancer yes, Blacksmith maybe, Commoner no). One-word class names only (hypenated names like Ur-Priest and compound names like Spellbinder are allowed). Random "nounverbs" (Firedancer, Earthspeaker) are allowed if they make sense or paint a fairly clear visual picture.

Here's the list so far! Can you add to it?

What's missing? Good luck, and remember the rules!

[Grinner]

Bioalchemist
Mageslayer
Cowan

[Abandoned Arts]

Cowan? I'm not familiar with that one, and Google isn't very revealing.

What's a cowan?

[Grinner]

I'm not entirely sure, actually. Every time I've seen it used in an RPG, it was a witch's guardian. I suppose you could also use the term witchknight.

[NM020110]

Cultist
God
Judge
<weapon>-<title>(There are a lot under this framework. A kama-man is different from a swordmaster is different from Váfuðr Gungnis)
<element name in greek>mancer

[Deaxsa]

erm... is "lich" a class? same with "cestus" (that's just an item), medium (you mean the size or an art medium?)

and here are a few:
Arachnomancer(actually, any -mancer. see below)
Centurion
Murder-Hobo
Siren(arguable)
Bodyguard (military OR personal variety)
commando
Gendarme
Hurler
Hulk
Juggernaut
Destroyer
Witcher
Doctor
Plumber (definitely a hero class)


and a bunch of variations of things you have (for instance: you have Wyrmcaller and Dragonrider but not Wyrmrider or Dragoncaller)

i suggest you break things down to remove all nouns. for instance, you have "rider" and "caller" but not all 4 variations of wyrm/dragon/rider/caller because wyrm and dragon have less to do with the class and are pretty much just nouns. i'm not saying that dragonriders are not awesome, i'm saying that if you do this the list will grow to an unmanageable size, because of all the possible variations.

edit: do you want me to edit this post or make new ones if i think of more?

edit: also, there's this (http://www.roman-empire.net/republic/rep-offices.html). and that's just civilian offices of government, it says nothing of the religious or military officials.

[Felandria]

Godling.

A medium can also be a type of mystic.

[Sith_Happens]

Deadpool.:smallwink:

[Silverbit]

Hoplite
Rebel
Breaker
Sell-sword (debatable)
Horror

This is a good idea, I'll be paying close attention.

[Dead_Jester]

A few from the old WHFRP days (I see that poor ratcatcher and his fierce dog companion):

Runesmith
Runelord


A few others

Admiral
Captain
Courtisan
Fateweaver
Guard
Jaunter
Man-at-arms
Noble
Privateer
Stormcaller
Wordsmith

[A Tad Insane]

I forget what edition, but it's either called a bug riding beattle bandit or a beattle riding bug bandit

[Jay R]

Dwarf (The Dragon #3)
Idiot (The Dragon #3)
Scribe (The Dragon #3)
Friar (Chivalry & Sorcery)
Cabbalist (Chivalry & Sorcery)
Slaver (Arduin Grimoire)
Techno (Arduin Grimoire)
Trader (Arduin Grimoire)


(Also I question the restriction of on e-word classes only. You're leaving out a lot of real classes with an arbitrary restriction.)

[CowardlyPaladin]

Wait so we can add from third party sources? Also can we include descriptions of the classes?

[TuggyNE]

Pretty sure the idea isn't sources, but just to think up all the possibilities.

It would be nice if the list was grouped and sorted into broad categories.

[Kane0]

Hexblade and warmage

[Eldan]

Tourist :smallwink:

Edit: farmers can get pretty damn impressive in ADOM.

[TuggyNE]

Tourist :smallwink:

I like how you think.

[Archmage1]

mage, magic user, archmage, incantatrix

Unless this is system specific

[Jay R]

Here are the rules. Fantasy / fantasy-steampunk genres only. Adventuring classes only (Necromancer yes, Blacksmith maybe, Commoner no). One-word class names only (hypenated names like Ur-Priest and compound names like Spellbinder are allowed).

I can't accept your rules.

When there were only three character classes, one of them was a two word phrase. As long as your rules disallow "Magic User", the list is in no way a complete list.

Not to mention Onion Knight.

[Sajiri]

Duskblade, where is it.

Oh here it is.

[Jay R]

Not to mention Onion Knight.

That's a rank he was eventually given. His class is Smuggler.

[supermonkeyjoe]

Archer, Daggerman and Warrior-jumper; http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2013/04/12

[Actana]

Claymore, Gunner, Pianist(?!?!) and Predator (http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Classes).

In addition, Pioneer and Sharpshooter.

[Man on Fire]

Pyro
Saber

Heavy
Medic
Demoman
Devilman
Claymore
Apostle
Truenamer
Deatheater
Vigiante
Veteran
Blade
Shinobi
Kunoichi

Atlan
Cyromancer

Bomber
bearknight
Werewolf
Whiplash
Cardmaster

[Cealocanth]

Well, there's

Thief
Magic-User (I guess we could put it that way)

If we're counting LARPs.

@^: Pyro, Heavy, Medic, Demoman, etc. don't count in this list unless you can cite them in some non TF2 related source. This is a fantasy list.

[Kane0]

Scout, Soldier and Spy on the other hand totally do.

[Man on Fire]

I'm pretty sure there are medics on the fantasy battlefields.

[Sith_Happens]

Something tells me you're not talking about Final Fantasy III.:smallconfused:

[Jay R]

Nope. I thought you meant the Onion Knight in Game of Thrones.

[Abandoned Arts]

I can't accept your rules.

Technically, Magic-User (hyphenated, as it originally was) is legal according to my rules, but Fighting Man isn't. : P

In any case, this list is in no way meant to be system-specific.

[TuggyNE]

In any case, this list is in no way meant to be system-specific.

But if it can't reasonably represent some of the most obvious actual class names from actual systems, how can it lay claim to "EVERY CLASS EVER"?
