    Wikipedia has a list, surprisingly enough.

    They're on there so many times because it mentions all the racial sub levels.

    15 PCs? Ouch. I ran a campaign that big... bigger actually. The combat scenarios were painfully tedious. After 4 sessions, we all worked together to right a house rule on large combat scenarios to expedite it. I never kept the rules because they were clunky and unfair, but it sped up the process.

    Of course, I like the idea of a 5 Bard, or 5 Barbarian, or 5 Cleric campaign... well maybe not 5 Cleric. All those heavy armored healers around, that might be a bit OP. But it would be interesting to see how a campaign would play out if you had a bunch of people with all the same skill sets. It would certainly change up the battle strategy from: blast from a distance with spell-casters and ranged fighter, then send in the meat tank, buff him up with spell-casters, flank with your sneaky melee types, repeat until opponent is dead.

    I like forcing my PCs to think outside the box. One PC in a campaign of mine stumbled into a Dread Blossom Swarm at night by his lonesome and was getting his butt handed to him. In a surprise move, his hastily removed his armor, emptied his flask of hard liquor onto his clothing and lit himself on fire. I had to agree that would kill what is essentially nothing more than a flower, and cause the rest of the Dread Blossoms to flee, but he took severe fire damage for it before finding a river to douse himself in. The rest of the party found him the next morning near death by a river and healed his wounds. I ruled that his body was now covered in burn tissue once the scabs healed and would receive a +2 to Intimidate and a -2 to Diplomacy.

    This is the new address. All old WotC links now have archive.wizards rather than www.wizards. See also the link in my sig to get to other content that WotC has removed.

    You've been around for five years and don't know about handbooks?

    It might be because you're in a thread from several years ago.

    However, for anyone looking, Crystal Keep once hosted a full list from all official books and Dragon magazines, which can still be found some places like here:

    I can't help but read that in a full-on, dead monotone. It sounds utterly ridiculous in my head.
