Answer. 113*
This includes at least four kinds of Barbarians, Bards and Paladins. Three types of Rangers and Gnomes and duplicates of many others such as necromancers and illusionists.
*There are likely even more.
I am not sure if all of these are needed, but I am glad they are here. Variety is the spice of life after all and these classes are all about variety.
The trick now is, can they all be played in same world? OR maybe a better question. Is anything missing?

ReplyDeleteACKS also has the Elven Spellsword and Nightblade, just off the top of my head....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's missing stuff, but I'd have to chart it out to see what. And it'd be all "IMO", so...of dubious value.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a really good adventuring quality Alchemist.
ReplyDelete@Thomas Denmark. Me as well! The Alchemist is an upcoming Class Struggles.
ReplyDelete@Timothy S. Brannan interesting, I started work on one. Got as far as an outline and then made a pretty cool piece of art for it. Let me know if you'd be interested in collaborating.
ReplyDeleteExcellent list! The OCD in me now wants to make a spreadsheet of these.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because FLAILSNAILS!

ReplyDeleteThis is counting all the proposed B/X classes on folks' blogs: I've had more than a few of those myself (that aren't in my publications), the halfling juggernaut, wood elf, tiefling sorcerer, and a (WFRP inspired) dwarf troll-slayer. Other bloggers have put out dozens or
How many more are needed? I'm not sure B/X even needs THIS many. But they're fun to write!
Is there a particular reason (besides my irrelevance to the OSR) that just about all the books but mine get a link?
ReplyDelete@Dyson, cause I am an airhead. ;) Fixed now.
