If you need RTF, please contact me. Many are the most resent versions, but he is constantly updating, so at a later date this material may change drastically. Some of this information was collected from the newsgroup rec.games.frp.dnd and the Deja News archive, the rest was e-mail directly to me from Jason. These classes use the Complete Handbook template for kits with some changes according to the following document: Kit key Kit key (Word95) For more information about the classes and kits, contact: Jason Eric Nelson < tjaden@u.washington.edu > For questions/comments about the web page, please contact me.

December 09, 1999 Several new Doc files + Druid Class Have been busy doing other things lately. FINALLY got my copy of CR2, so I have been playing around with it. Hope to update this page soon with the text files it needs. Figured out how to use WinZip, so I may put up some zip files as well. September 22, 1999 More Text files Finally created text files for the four latest Rogue classes. Got distracted by my newest acquisition: CR2 Expansion Still waiting for my CR2 disc from Amazon, but is still fun. August 22, 1999 New Home Page Finally got to update the homepage Split up the superclasses so they each have there own page. Will try (someday) to create htm pages for each of the text pages. August 19, 1999 Rogue Updates The Rogue Superclass is basically finished (For Now) Uploaded the Bard class & an updated Thief class. Will try to get to the Web page & the text files this weekend. August 17, 1999 Rogue & Wizard Updates Removed the Merchant class after checking with Jason. The Guildsman class replaces the Merchant class Added a new Wizard information file that answers some questions. August 16, 1999 Rogue Updates New Adventurer Class is here. Will be working on the Text version. The Guildman class is also uploaded. Many of the old Adventurer Kits will be moved into other classes. August 07, 1999 Wizard Updates Jason left 4 new classes in my e-mail while I was gone. I have now uploaded them, and translated them to text as well. Conjurer, Illusionist, Mage, and Necromancer. I hope to have an Updated main page within the next two weeks or so. August 01, 1999 Text Updates Finally caught up with the text files. Uploaded all the text files for the Wizard class that I have. Also uploaded the text files for the Magic Items. July 21, 1999 Minor changes Uploaded the Elementalist class & the new Sorcerer class. Left the original Sorcerer in Word95 format up for reference. July 09, 1999 Sorry about it being so long between updates. The computer that I use decided to stop working properly in mid-May. It is only now working properly again. I am having some trouble with Word97, but hope to fix that soon. Changes to Wizard Superclass Uploaded Enchanter Class in Word97 file (text will come later). Uploaded Spell listings for all the wizard classes. Uploaded the Campaign Specifc Magic Items. May 07, 1999 Minor changes. Uploaded the Character Creation Table that Jason finally sent to me. April 23, 1999 Minor spelling changes. Uploaded the Sorcerer and Barbarian class/kits in text format. Did some work on the Sorcerer and Barbarian Word95 files as well. Still having trouble with the tables and viewing them in text format. Are there any suggestions out there? April 06, 1999 Uploaded the new Paladin and Barbarian classes to the Warrior Superclass. Added the first Wizard subclass: Sorcerer (with kits). Also added a file that explains the six 'Realms of Magic'. Added Text files. This should make it so people can view the class and kits before they download the Word95 file. Most of the text files look nice (and readable), having some trouble with the tables though. Both of them (Rogue/Ranger skills and WP) are too wide to be read onscreen. Will be trying to re-work these files over the next few days.
*****
March, 1999 Placed Jason's files online for people to view and download. Major changes over several weeks made this possible. I am still learning, so this page will grow along with me.
