Just One More thing

The basic list of classes in the D&D Rules Cyclopedia are as follows:

• Fighter
• Cleric
• Magic-User
• Thief
• Elf
• Dwarf
• Mystic

In addition they have several "Prestige Class" types that people can choose at higher level

• Paladin
• Knight
• Avenger  (evil paladin)
• Druid (neutral clerics can become these at high level)

In addition I've added the following classes:

• Illusionist: a simple add, a magic-user can decide to become an illusionist at creation by just announcing it, he then uses the Illusionist spell list instead of the magic-user spell list.
• Gnome: I had statted these guys up for RC D&D a few years ago, basically fighter-illusionists
• Bard:  I had also statted these guys up for RC D&D a few years ago, adapted from AD&D second edition bards.
• Berserkers:  I had also statted these guys up for an old campaign, just a minor fighter-variant.

Are there any classes that anyone just absolutely has to have?   It wouldn't be too hard to port over some class from ACKS if it is really necessary.   It's mainly a case of stripping out the ACKS combat and proficiency features and extending the EXP levels up to 36.   But, it seems that really the base 4 are enough for most things.

I could see doing a quick and dirty regular--starting from first level--druid (just a cleric with modified equipment, using the Druid spell list, and with 1-2 powers to make up for not turning undead and having crappy armor). 

I could also see doing a quick and dirty Assassin, based on the original D&D assassin.  But, unless someone thinks we really need them right off the bat,  I don't really want to get into them.

I don't have any real interest in a bunch more non-human classes.  I'm fine with saying that NPC non-humans can have cleric powers without offering a PC class for them.

 In any case., as per usual, post or email if there is a class you just have to have.
