My hubris has struck again, and I have kinda-sorta-not-exactly volunteered to do a thing, a new alternative to the now somewhat long-in-the-tooth "Survivor" threads. But my first notion, "PHB classes through the ages," almost immediately met with some reminders that I don't actually know all the options folks once had.
So, I'd like folks to chime in! I may or may not actually use all the stuff folks recommend, but at the very least it will be a knowing and intentional exclusion, not an accidental oopsie.
Three caveats I will note to head some things off at the pass:
So, ye of fulsome years and storied wisdom, regale me with your classes core!

Three caveats I will note to head some things off at the pass:
- It needs to come from a core book, though I am not going to harp too hard on precision there. Being called a "PHB" is a shoe-in, of course, but other "core"/"base" classes are likely to pass muster.
- I am allowing PF1e stuff because it really is "3.75e" in most ways. I will not be including new stuff only found in PF2e.
- I will be combining certain classes together that are fundamentally the same archetype. E.g. "Thief-Acrobat" will be (explicitly) part of Rogue/Thief, "Magic-User" will be (explicitly) part of Wizard, etc. I will, however, include Illusionist as a separate option, since that was an intentional separation in some editions.
So, ye of fulsome years and storied wisdom, regale me with your classes core!
