Pretty much what the title says. Do know what classes and races will be in the Player's Handbook yet? I know the we know the Druid will be in there. Do you think it will be the basic 11 (Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger Rogue, Wizard and Sorcerer) like in3rd and pathfinder had or do you think it will have extra ones or maybe less.

 

And in terms of races (i love the idea of subraces btw) will it again be things like Elf, Half Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Human, Gnoma and Half Orc. I  would really like to see the return of races such as Dragonborn and Tiefling (also i loved Deva and Shifters from  4e PHB2).

Yes.    Classes:

Fighter, Barbarian, Monk

Rogue, Ranger, Bard

Cleric, Druid, Paladin

Wizard, Sorcerer, Warlock.

 

Each of those will have a number of subclasses:  Some builds will reference old classes such as: Warlord, Eldritch Knight, Assassin, Arcane Trickster, Ninja, Sublime Chord / Virtuoso, Warden, Avenger, Hexblade, and Summoner.    No word on Psions yet; that said, the star pact warlock does have a psychic theme going on, if you don't mind using those mechanics until an official class/set of subclasses are designed later.

 

Known races include two categories.  First, the common races:   Human.   Lightfoot and Stout Halflings.   High and Wood Elves.   Hill and Mountain Dwarves.    These are all found in the basic rule set you can download for free, if you want more details.    Drow is also included as an elf subrace, but not found in the basic rule set.

 

Secondly, the "uncommon" races, which include: Dragonborn.  Tiefling.   Tinker and Forest Gnomes.   Half-elf.  Half-orc.

What do we know at this point about the subclasses available in the PHB for each class?

Missed the Abjuration wizard school.
