One way is to have very broad classes that cover related concepts with significant room for variation. The other way is to have narrow classes which each cover a fairly specific concept.The problem with D&D is that it does both. It has the fighter class, which can cover concepts like a wilderness scout with a bow or a knight in shining armor. But it also has the ranger, which is a wilderness scout with a bow; and the paladin, which is a knight in shining armor.Three or four classes would be sufficient if they were each as broad as the fighter, but insufficient if they were as narrow as the paladin.</blockquote>
