Truly Complete list of 3.5e Base Classes

[Mike Miller]

Many times I've looked for a list of base classes that includes all of 3.5's offerings. However, there are usually missing entries or unnecessary inclusions, like multiple fighters at the WotC archives. I built this list off of Hadessniper's list from here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?198535-Complete-Class-List). However, I added some Dragon mag classes. Please let me know if you are aware of any missing BASE classes. I expect this list is missing some from campaign settings, but I am not super familiar with them as my 3.5 library is mostly complete sans campaign settings.

Hopefully this will be a truly complete list of all 3.5e base classes. I don't believe racial substitution levels count nor do alternate class features. I just want the list to have classes that were published with all 1-20 levels. Also let me know if you catch any duplicates. Ctrl+F is your friend when looking to see if one is already listed.

Off the top of my head, you're missing:

Adept, Commoner, Expert, Warrior, Aristocrat, Spellcaster, Psionic Rogue

[Cosi]

Why is your list not in alphabetical order?

Also, you're arguably missing at least one version of Ninja (and all the other classes that showed up in both Oriental Adventures and the Completes). And the Generic classes from Unearthed Arcana.

[Tryxx]

Missing the Psychic Rogue (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040723b) and the Eidolon and Eidoloncer from Ghostwalk. Really impressed you didn't forget the Dragonlance classes. I've never played in the setting, and don't know if it really counts but I believe Kingdoms of Kalamar has some base classes as well (Gladiator, Basiran Dancer, Brigand, Infiltrator, Shaman and Spellsinger).

[Khedrac]

Do you want to include Dragon Compendium classes such as the Death Master?

Edit:
He already has.
Gah - I though I checked the list three times for that before posting... :smallredface:

I didn't alphabetize it yet because I shamelessly stole borrowed much of the list as noted in the first post. Also, I plan to alphabetize it when it appears settled OR list them grouped by book and I may also note source books too. For now, I just want to get them all listed. Ninja actually was there already, as well as warlock so I'm guessing the Completes are covered.

Alphabetizing makes it much easier to figure out if everything is covered. If the list is in alphabetical order, I can figure out if the class I'm thinking of is there by going to the appropriate letter and checking. If it's not, I (potentially) have to check the whole list.

My comment on the Ninja was not that you missed it, but that there are two distinct Ninja classes, for which you have only one entry. There is a Ninja in Complete Adventurer, but also one in Oriental Adventures.

There is no ninja base class in OA, OA only has ninja as a PrC. You're thinking of Samurai, which has an OA version and a very different Complete Warrior version.

[Blue Jay]

There is no ninja base class in OA, OA only has ninja as a PrC. You're thinking of Samurai, which has an OA version and a very different Complete Warrior version.

I think he's thinking of the Rokugan ninja class, which is an understandable confusion because OA incorporates the Rokugan setting into it.

[Cosi]

I think he's thinking of the Rokugan ninja class, which is an understandable confusion because OA incorporates the Rokugan setting into it.

That's probably it. To be honest, I've never read either book -- I was simply aware of the existence of another Ninja class besides the one in Complete Adventurer.

[Eloel]

I think now you have Shaman twice on there. Keep it alphabetized, it'll make your life easier.

[flappeercraft]

Artificer, Psionic Artificer and Erudite are missing.

[Mike Miller]

Is psionic artificer an actual base class or some kind of acf type deal?

I will alphabetize it for everyone's convenience in a few hours when I get a chance

[Falontani]

Psionic artificer is it's own class according to Magic of Eberron. Yes you can make an artificer/psionic artificer character

I stand corrected by DEMON

[DEMON]

Yes you can make an artificer/psionic artificer character

Actually, you can't. Those classes are mutually exclusive to one another, as stated in the Psi Artificer entry in MoE.

[BowStreetRunner]

Would you consider the vairant classes from Unearthed Arcana as distinct? If so, Totem Barbarian, Bardic Sage, Divine Bard, Savage Bard, Cloistered Cleric, Druidic Avenger, Thug, the Fighting Style Monks, Paladins (of Freedom, Slaughter, and Tyranny), Planar Ranger, Urban Ranger, Wilderness Rogue, Battle Sorcerer, and Domain Wizard may be included.

I am only counting classes that have 20 published levels. I don't count the variants.

Also, I have now alphabetized the list.

[DrMotives]

Using other campaign settings? Because Dragonlance has mystic, and Masque of the Red Death (a variant Ravenloft setting put on Victorian-era Earth) throws out all normal classes and instead has a huge list of 23 base classes plus 9 PrCs. Although the idea is that those replace all normal core classes, including the DMG ones.

Hmmm, if they are unique I will count them. I'll just list them with a note as Dragonlance classes. Can you list them?

[Eloel]

You might want to include Mystic Ranger if you're going by whether a class is fully printed somewhere. And you still have 2 Shamans in your alphabetized list.

[Bullet06320]

putting what source each class comes from would be useful too

I found an Internet Archive link to the Living Death Campaign site (https://web.archive.org/web/20041201161149/http://www.livingdeath.org:80/). There are two different PDFs there which seem largely dependent upon the D&D 3.5 PHB, because they don't reprint tables and such, but it looks like an actual book (https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/11/11458.phtml) was printed by the Sword & Sorcery imprint of White Wolf while they had the Ravenloft license. Still, from that review and this blog post (http://mrstu.blogspot.com/2011/05/masque-of-red-death-thoughts.html), I get the impression that the book is about as lopsided as the PDFs. Skills are also significantly different from D&D 3.5; crafts, knowledges and professions are all entirely separate, which means alchemy is once again its own entire skill. Actually, the D&D 3.0 skill animal empathy is still there, so this could be an indication that the skills were not made to conform to 3.5. I would say that, yes, those classes are for a d20 game, but not a D&D 3.5 game.

Hmmm good points. The skills make a good point for it not being 3.5 so I will exclude those.

Also, I will add sources when I get a chance.

That's a good start. I plan on making a table and splitting the classes up by source while also maintaining the alphabetic list.

Don't know why, it's not like you can't play them in the same game as a psion. Guess they didn't want to overshadow divine mind.

Yeah. But there's also the web-enhancement Spell-to-Power Erudite and (IIRC) there was a version in Dragon Magazine (which, IIRC, is where some of the debate about what "unique powers per day" comes from).

[KillingAScarab]

Yeah. But there's also the web-enhancement Spell-to-Power Erudite...This part is just a reference to one of the many alternate class features found in four Mind's Eye: Expanded Classes articles. The same one (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070629a) also covers ACFs for divine mind, lurk and ardent. ACFs won't warrant additional entries, only the original.

[Mike Miller]

I am away from my books at the moment, but wasn't erudite in dragon compendium too? If so, which was printed later? XPH CP or DrC?

[KillingAScarab]

I am away from my books at the moment, but wasn't erudite in dragon compendium too? If so, which was printed later? XPH or DrC?The first printing of Complete Psionic was April 2006. I didn't know it, but I guess erudite was first printed in Dragon #319 (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2fdlh?erudite-from-dargon-319).

[lylsyly]

XPH April 2004
DrC October 2005

[DEMON]

I am away from my books at the moment, but wasn't erudite in dragon compendium too? If so, which was printed later? XPH or DrC?

As far as I know, Erudite is not in either of those books. Only in CPsi as a Psion variant.

[Mike Miller]

As far as I know, Erudite is not in either of those books. Only in CPsi as a Psion variant.

My mistake. I meant CP but I wrote XPH. You are correct. It is not in the dragon compendium. I am going to exclude the erudite from the list because it is a variant psion, though. Also, I removed the ghost walk entries because they are actually 3.0.

[BowStreetRunner]

Technomancer Press put out a book called "Player’s Companion – Getting More Out of Your PHB" that included Exemplar, Friar, Inventor, and Magnifico as additional base classes. It's not an official WoTC product, certainly. However, I seem to recall they were used often enough that they even received HeroForge treatment back when that tool was still being updated.

[Thurbane]

How about Racial Paragon classes from UA? And the Kobold Paragon (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060127a) class?

[Mike Miller]

How about Racial Paragon classes from UA? And the Kobold Paragon (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060127a) class?

Those aren't base classes, though. I am just looking at levels that are published 1-20. The paragon classes are only 3 levels each.

[DEMON]

Also, I removed the ghost walk entries because they are actually 3.0.

You shouldn't, as Ghostwalk got an official 3.5 update (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20031225a).

[Mike Miller]

Oooh good call. I wasn't aware of that update.

[Thurbane]

Those aren't base classes, though. I am just looking at levels that are published 1-20. The paragon classes are only 3 levels each.

Also, I decided to add the variants after getting the standard base classes, for a better index.

Well, technically they are base classes (they aren't prestige classes), just not base classes with 20 levels.

[Mike Miller]

Well, technically they are base classes (they aren't prestige classes), just not base classes with 20 levels.

Well, I would like to keep this list of just 1-20 classes. Thanks for pointing them out though, in case I add something else eventually. Right now they are outside the scope of this list

By all means, link me to an actual, complete list. I would be quite happy you did. (For real, not being sarcastic)

Otherwise, I will keep working on this compilation when I have time.

Edit: Added variant list/table and added some entries to the standard class list/table. I believe the base classes are complete now. I have started working on variants.

[Mike Miller]

I have (potentially) a complete list of the base classes now. The variant list is up, as well. I may have missed some variants, but I got the biggest sources that I am aware of (unearthed arcana and dragon mag). Let me know if you are aware of any missing from the list.

[Falontani]

This is excellent, something I'm going to bookmark for the future; would it be possible to put them in their tiers as well?

[Cosi]

No, because some of those classes are not tiered.

Also, listing the tiers is stupid because the tiers are stupid.

Also, the question "what classes are there" is agnostic from "how should we rank the power of classes", and should be answered separately. If you want to use the fully comprehensive list of base classes listed here to make your own class rankings, feel free to do that. But they do not need to be the same project, just like this project does not need to be the same project as projects like "which magic items does each class need".

All classes have the possibility to possess a tier.
That said your opinion of the tiers is a valid opinion that I do not share.
It was merely a suggestion and something that if I had put forth the effort of making a consolidated list of classes would personally have done and definitely not required for a consolidated list of classes.

[DEMON]

The next step to make this beyond awesome would be a table listing the BAB, HD, saves, skill points per level and perhaps and short info on what the class is capable of:

As Cosi said, not all have tiers. I am not sure I want to get into that with this list. I feel the tiers are subjective, but generally useful for some groups.

That's it from my side. You'll have to do the rest of the classes.

As a side note, tables this big are a freaking pita.

[DEMON]

I hope I've kicked this off with the 49 classes, but the NPC, Dragonlance, Drac Comp and some other classes will have to be covered by someone else.

In the end, this should be a very nice source for the community.

Never seen the "player's companion" book before. Anything in there worth trying to track the book down online?

Here (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?247381-The-Player-s-Companion-Getting-More-Out-of-Your-PHB) is a description of what is inside the book. There are new races, classes, etc. It is not OGL and is 3rd party, so keep that in mind.

I feel like 3rd party content prooobably wants to be labeled in a list like this.

Also, isn't there technically an exception for handbooks (which I think lists like this qualify as), or am I remembering from the wrong board?

[Ruethgar]

Technically speaking there are a lot more classes if you count Alternate Base Classes like the Targeteer and Kensai from Dragon 310(I think).

Also I see you mentioned Ravenloft, and Kalamar, the Warcraft books share a similar semi-official status. It has been a while, but I know it had a Healer base class in it.

You also seem to be lacking the Generic classes. Racial classes can be classified as vase classes but their exclusion is fine by me, there are so many.

Edit: damnit, need to pay attention to dates >.<

If by general you mean adept and warrior etc, I have them listed. Also, I have the dragon classes you mentioned as well. They are in the variant table.

[remetagross]

Wow, Dragonlance actually contains a rather sizable content of new base classes. And that Voodan guy from Ravenloft...it's a very nice class, actually!

[Ruethgar]

Generic Warrior, Generic Spellcaster, Generic Expert, in Unearned Arcana, not the NPC classes.

Also the ABCs I mentioned were just ones I recalled off hand to illustrate the point, looking at the list you are certainly missing some Wizard alternate base classes, there were a few necromancer variants in particular I’m not seeing, Deathmaster I think, also the Reaper. AFB and I only used the classes once each so I can’t be sure what Dragon Magazine they were in.

Deathwalker, Soul Reaper, Flesh Crafter DrM 312 pg 30+, wizards. Anti-Paladin, Corrupter, and Despot from the same source, pg 20+, paladins.

Gnome Paladin DrM 329 p94. Technically should be racial substitution but it's not worded that way and has the full 20 levels listed.

Non-Spellcasting Paladin and Ranger Complete Warrior. Wyrmslayer(paladin) DrM 332 pg 90. Wilderness Rogue UA. Poltergiest DrM 336 pg 107 sorcerer. Witch Dmg pg 175. Maybe the Urban Adept from Sharn pg 167.

Edit: As a side note, Soul Reapers are pretty awesome. I made an Awakened Cat in E6 to be the goddess of death and this class is what let her and her reapers gather souls. They would be destroyed within a week or two to fuel she and the other gods(they were only E6 characters, they needed the power), so resurrection was unlikely unless you personally knew death and could ask her to hold a soul for you.

That's why posts have a report icon (triangle containing an exclamation mark). It's better to report than to comment on the infringement, if you have concerns.

I concur with Thurbane's post above. Also, I am the original poster and we are adding to the index. :smallsmile:

[Tzardok]

I just found this thread. Thank you, this list is going to be very useful.:smallsmile:
I noticed that you have the five variant paladins from Dragon #310 there, but you are missing the three evil paladin variants from Dragon #312.
I hope that helped.

Good catch. I will add those soon.

[Vrock Bait]

Kensai(variant fighter). Geisha. Survivalist. Shield Bearer. Knght(fighter variant). Avenger. Anarch. Incarnate(paladín variant). Enforcer. Local Hero. Aristocrat Thief. Ancestral Speaker. Arcane Disciple(cleric variant). Aspirant. Benevolent. Crusader(cleric variant). Evangelist(cleric variant). Wild Reaper. Wind Walker. Metal Master. Winter Warden. Martial Artist. Monastic Defender.

Sources:
Dragon #289, 305, 310, And 311. Probably more I missed. You get the point.

Did you look at the variant table? Read the first row of the "Dragon" entries...

I will double check at some point but I have a lot if not all of those

[Buufreak]

He's a necroing pixie, most historical signs point to no.

Cool list, though!

[Vrock Bait]

Sorry, my bad. Anyway... you’re only missing the variants from 305 and 289.

305:
Naturalist, Aristocrat Thief, and Local Hero.

289:
Martial Artist, Monastic Defender, and Spirit Warrior.

I prefer pixie dread necromancer 5/master of shrouds 2.
