It took a while, but the first version of the Tome of Classes is here!
In this 36 page book - counting the cover pages - I have put 16 standard classes and 3 racial classes. Most of the standard classes, are well, typical - but even they may show you some alternative ideas for classes. Racial classes are counting as both your class and your race - similiar to how there is an Elf, Dwarf and Halfling classes in the BX and BECMI. The racial classes are:
Additionally, there are three additional spell lists, for Bard, Dark Cleric and Druid classes.
The Tome of Classes is not a product that is free to download. It still does use a free license - CC-SA 4.0 - but to download it from this source, and be provided all the updates, you need to pay $2 or more. Why I am doing this? Well, despite what it may seems, Tome of Classes required quite a bit of work from me - simplifying concepts and making all these classes feel unique isn't an easy task. Don't worry though - the Core rules will remain free to download pretty much forever, and the Tome of Classes is entirely optional - it contains zero rules that are required to play with any of the modules.
As you can see, the Tome of Classes is in an early version - which means any feedback you have is doubly appreciated. Feel free to post your thoughts in the forum.
