[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7638709, member: 4348"] The RC is the official end product of the BECMI line, as in it conglomerates everything you need to play through levels 1-36 in one volume. In it, many of the 7 classes have been expanded, or other classes brought in. [Original 7 classes with race as class were the Fighter, Cleric, Thief, Wizard, Elf, Dwarf, and Halfling]. In the RC it brought in other classes that were introduced in later sets (the Paladin, the Avenger, the Knight, the Druid, and the Mystic]. This was further expanded upon in the Gazetteers. In these, you had various other options. Most of the Demi-Humans only had limited advancement in class (Elf was 10, Dwarf 12, Halfling 8, with the added bonus of +1 level for HP or spells with a wish) with combat advancement in being able to hit better with various XP levels being utilized.. In these Gazetteers they had the option for a Dwarf Cleric if one wished, but it was still limited to level 12. They also had an Elf which could go up to...I think it's level 20 (I have the books, but I'd have to get out of my chair and go look them up and I'm too lazy to do it currently). The Elf though, would need to choose whether it wanted to advance as a Fighter or a Wizard. The Halfling was more unique and given a class called the Master. It could go up to level 36 I think, but it was limited to their local area until after they hit at least A class in combat. So, in total, the classes (off the top of my head, I think there were also one or two others, possibly one for Orcs? as well) that I've listed thus far would be Avenger Cleric Druid Dwarf Dwarf Cleric Elf Elf Fighter Elf Wizard Fighter Halfling Knight Halfling Master Mystic Paladin Thief Wizard So 16 classes right there (and as I said, I think I'm missing a few) which is getting up there with at least the basic options Humans would have had in AD&D (actually a little more than mere humans).
