What Classes Existed in Earlier Editions?

[Gailbraithe]

Dragon #109 featured an article on creating new classes for D&D that introduced the Orc, Generic Adventurer, Viking, Fairy and Ubermensch.

I used the Generic Adventurer (as the Adventurer), the Viking and the Fairy in my own campaign, and used the Orc class to generate Orcs with levels. I also must have used those rules to create several dozen other classes, including other monster classes. This was back in...'88 or so, when I first found a copy of issue #109 (a serious must-have for any true Basic fan).

And I think there was a Faerie book that has a metric ton of creature classes for BXCMI (or maybe it was just B/X).

Yeah, for Basic D&D - Tall Tales of the Wee Folk, even though I played 1st/2nd only, I bought it because I love fey, and it had some really nifty ideas. It had a ton of faerie races as classes (the Hsiao was my favourite).

Does Dragon count? If so, add the following to 1e:
Duelist
Death Master
Cloistered Cleric
Bounty Hunter
Archer (and Archer-Ranger)
Witch
Jester

That's all I can think of without actually looking something up.
