[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7820443, member: 6787503"] After further consideration of my answer to this question, I've found that I'm dissatisfied with how the class table came out and my decision making about that. My approach to the race table, on the other hand, was to treat the additional races (Dragonborn and Tiefling) as equivalent in frequency to the least represented race on the original table (Half-Orc). This approach allows for the in-fiction rationale for the absence of the two additional races on the original table to be that they were omitted or overlooked because of their rarity. I find this approach to be the more satisfying of the two. So applying this approach to the class table, there are three classes and one subclass that I don't think are represented on the original table: Barbarian, Rogue (Arcane Trickster), Sorcerer, and Warlock. Giving each of them a value equivalent to the least represented classes on the original table (Monk and Bard, with 1/2 percent apiece), I got this result (and the following subtables): Edit: These
