Looking for core classes.

[Voadam]

BESM d20 has a whole set of anime based classes. you can get the book or check out the anime srd at www.opengamingfoundation.org

I think Freeport has some more (at least the NPC Cultist class!)... Sovereign Stone as well...

wheel of time class commentary

Indeed each one has two, and I have all four books.


Check.


Ohhh I don't have this one, I do know of the books but I have never read them, how cool are the new classes?


Check.

There are a couple of spellcasters for the new magic system, a warrior type, a nonmagical ranger with favored terrains, a sort of monk/desert ranger/barbarian cross class, a wanderer that has slow sneak attack progression, and I forget if there is a noble class. They have a defensive bonus class feature that is not standard for D&D and a different magic system but otherwise compatible.

As long as people are throwing down homebrew stuff...The World of Dragonhorn has an Artificer (creation-based spellcaster), Spell-Slinger (a variant sorcerer) and Adept, Aristocrat and Expert boosted up as core classes.

tho not 3.11ed for Workgroups.

OD&D(1974) boxed set

Yeah right...

A race isn't a class nor should it be.

Thanks for the bump though.

Everyone else I'll comment when time catches up with me.

diaglo, the joke's old. We all know you don't like anything past OD&D. For the most part, we don't care. Can we just move on? Please?

Thanks.

AEG's Magic has a lot of spellcaster-oriented core classes and PrCs.
Way of the Witch (Citizen Games) has a couple in it (very well written book).
Kenzer's Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide is a must-have in my opinion.
Troll Lord's Path of the Magi isn't bad either, but definitely for the intellectual player who wants to put a lot of personality into his character.

Didn't see it mentioned but...

Oriental Adventueres: Samurai, Shaman, Shugenja, Wu Jen, Sohei
Miniatures Handbook: Marshal, Favored Soul, Healer, Warmage
Dragonlance Campaign Setting: Mystic, Noble, Knight of Solomnia, Knight of Takysis.
Complete Warrior: Swashbuckler, Hexblade, Samurai (Take 2)
Rokugan Setting Book: Ninja, Courtier
Star Wars d20: Noble, Fringer, Scoundrel, Tech Specialist, Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, Force Adept, Scout, Solider

 

[Felon]

Miniatures Handbook: Marshal, Favored Soul, Healer, Warmage
Dragonlance Campaign Setting: Mystic, Noble, Knight of Solomnia, Knight of Takysis.
Complete Warrior: Swashbuckler, Hexblade, Samurai (Take 2)

Neither did I, which is weird considering these are official classes, actually designed for generic D&D and not some specific campaign unlike, say, Wheel of Time or Dawnforge.

I can recommend the classes from the Minis Handbook. The Marshal works great in a medium-to-large party, both in battle and in role-playing situations as the party "face-man". Healers require a certain kind of player, but are certainly welcome wherever they go. The Favored Soul offers some new options for divine casters (namely, spontaneous spellcasting). The Warmage is unabashedly designed for a purely combat-oriented campaign, so its appeal varies from DM to DM.

OTOH, the Complete Warrior classes all seem sloppy and pointless and full of squandered potential.
