#1 awaken_D_M_golem Sep 08, 2007 12:54:07	Bear with me. { ahem , grizzled greybeard voice } The years and eons went by. PHB 1st edition and 2nd edition were memorized, "torn"-up and even forgotten. The simultaneously heinous and wonderful 3rd and 3.5 editions came out. I just couldn't navigate the newer PHBs very well. I couldn't figure it out. I didn't know why. Why? m'Cuz : Cleric Druid Fighter Paladin Ranger Magic-User Illusionist Thief Assassin Monk ... psionics Bard [rant] For 20+ years !!! [/rant] So I'm looking at the 3rd Edition PHB, and a part of my brain ... (a buried smidgen of conciousness; something so automaticly normalized, it's almost moronal-ized; something Abnormal Psychology will not be observing anytime soon ) ... winked at me. Barbarian Bard Cleric Druid Fighter Monk Paladin Ranger Rogue Sorcerer Wizard There's something there. What am I missing? { ... sort of like Beavis getting and idea, and immediately it goes away ... } Barb arian Bard C leric D ruid F ighter M onk P aladin R anger R ogue S orcerer W izard Oh. That's it. It's alphabetical. Those sneaky bastich's. Dang kids. Question : How do you complete this phrase - I am sooo 1st Edition, I just noticed that ...

CLERIC Druid FIGHTER Paladin Ranger MAGIC-USER Illusionist THIEF Assassin The main classes were listed alphabetically, then the subclasses were listed under their respective main classes. Of course, this neglects the monk and the bard, who were always listed after the above classes, so it wasn't perfectly consistent. Then again, neither was 1e itself. ;) (Not necessarily a bad thing.)
