It is widely thought that there are only a few character types available to players of Basic D&D. These being, Cleric Druid Fighter Magic-User Mystic Thief Dwarf Elf Halfling. In truth, TSR made a WHOLE lot of PC types. I don't allow most of them (Treants, Minotaurs, Centaurs, and the like are kind of hard to run in a dungeon), but I do allow:

It was in Dragon Magazine way back when.
I'll find it on the Internet Archive and post it here. It's really pretty easy.

Sorry it took so long... I had a moment. The link is to the Internet Archive and takes you to Dragon Magazine Issue 109  (click thumbnail for link) I had a Spreadsheet that did the math for you, but I can't find it right now. But I also have a groovy calculator, so I'm good. |

y'know... that's a good question.
For this thread (and for the article (iirc)), "Blunt" was not a Sword, Axe, Dagger, Bow (meaning "arrows"), catapult, or pole weapon (pole arm, spear, lance, or javelin).

Those are some cool additions. I'm going to have to try some of them out.
