Holmes basic classes are Cleric, Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling. Elf (a fighter-wizard multiclass), Dwarf  (a fighter), halfling is a fighter.AD&D 1E is Assassin, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, and Wizard with Bard requiring dual-classing twice (fighter between 5-7 levels,  into thief for 5-8 levels, thief into bard)...Oh, and Mentzer, Moldvay are Cleric, Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, with high level characters allowed to transition Cleric-to-Druid, Fighter-to-Paladin, Fighter-to-Avenger. Cyclopedia adds "Mystic" (which is a monk). The Gaz line adds 3 prestige classes, "Ranger" (which is actually the same as elf, but is human), Dwarf Cleric (Fighter-cleric), Elf Treekeeper (Fighter-Mage with some clerical spells), Merchant ("secondary class" - equivalent to a 3E Prestige class), Sailor (secondary); adding the PC series adds about 100 additional racial classes; adding the HWR series adds another 30 or so.</blockquote>
