Looking for Core Classes

[Altamont Ravenard]

Hello all,

I'm trying to look at what's available in terms of Core Classes that exist in published 3E (or 3.5) material. So far, I could find Core classes in:
- the PHB (of course)
- the DMG (NPC classes)
- A few in the Mini's handbook
- A few in the Dragonlance campaign setting
- the classes of the Oriental Adventures book
- what else?

I know that Arcana Unearthed has totally different core classes, but since a lot of them are based on other parameters, they're not exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm basically looking to have in a campaign world a maximum of Core Classes, that I need not spend too much time on adapting one with the others.

Any input will be appreciated!

FFG's Path of (Swords, Shadow, Faith, Magic) books have a few modified core classes per book.

Midnight has
*Defender (less mystical martial artist).
*Channeler (a versatile arcanist that works with MN's magic system).
*Wildlander (a very cool reworking of the ranger)

There's a ton of alt.core classes in 3d party d20 sources -- so many that I don't particularly remember most of them. Most of my pdfs are on another computer, so I can't look them up.

Three Arrows for the King comes to mind (archer, archer ranger)

More than one company has a series of products that is devoted to a series of alt.cores, but I'm suffering a senior moment with regard to titles. I remember alt.paladins, alt.sorcerers, alt.clerics, some witches, alt.psionics ... just too many products out there to keep them all straight!

edit: Remembered another one --

Fringe Campaigns: Soul Harvest (Vampire Mage)

Try searching the pdf reviews here or at d20 MR; you'll turn up a bunch.

I never heard of the Vampire Mage.

Dawnforge:
- Shaper (cool sorcerer type using divine spells instead)
- Shaman (cool druid variant that shapes into elementals instead of animals)
- Disciple (cleric clone specific for dawnforge world)
- Spirit Adept (very cool class)

Path of Shadows:
- Con Man
- Psychic Thief
- Delver (an explorer type class)
- Chameleon (master of disguise)

Path of Magic:
- Arcane Engineer
- Arsenalist
- Mindweaver
- Sun Mage

RA Salvatore Demon Wars:
- Abellican Brother (monk for their world)
- Gem Master (cool gem magic user for their world)
- Gem Sorcerer (basically same as Gem Master)
- King's Trooper (soldier class)
- Touel'alfar Woodsman (wierd ranger variant class)

Miniatures Handbook:
- Warmage (really cool class)
- Healer (it does what it says)
- Favored Soul (pretty cool class specific for worlds that have Gods)
- Marshal (cool class that specializes in leading others, high Charisma recommended).

Sovereign Stone Setting:
- Archer
- Elemental Mage (uses specific magic rules)
- Mounted Warrior (specializes in riding animals)
- Noble
- Sailer
- Soldier
- Stalker
- Void Mage (same as Elemental Mage)

ummmmmmmm...that's all I can add to this particular list. I hope it helps.

Green Ronin's Master Class series presents new core classes, 1 per book, with a variety of additional supporting material: spells, feats, PrCs, skill adjustments, magic items, etc. Books in that line, and the classes added, are:

• Assassin's Handbook
• Shaman's Handbook
• Witch's Handbook
• Avatar's Handbook
• Unholy Warrior's Handbook
• Noble's Handbook
• Psychic's Handbook (soon to be released).

In Addition to the Path of X series, other Legends & Lore titles have had new Base classes.
City Works adds an Acrobat class, a non-spellcasting Assassin, and the Pit Fighter.
Traps & Treachery adds the Thug, a NPC class that is a lesser Rogue similar to how the Warrior is a lesser Fighter.
