Microclass Compendium (Action 50, part 4)

Classes names torn from Penny Dreadfuls and AI. Class abilities from the creative people of the OSR discord. Compiled here by your humble servant, and by deus ex parabola. (It is their formatting from 125 to 157). This should be complete except for the violence-pun-name wizard classes, which felt to my like their own thing.

See also, BlueWolf's compilation of later classes.

Thanks to my various fellow contributors:

Daniel Romanovsky

    3. You've lied and cheated and stolen for so long that you can bribe officials and other nobles to look the other way with pretty much any charge. Just like a real noble!
    4. You have the clout to confront your false relatives and force them to accept you as one of them. You're a real heiress now, and while your claim will be honored, you're now embroiled in the real noble politics of jealous heirs and backstabbing siblings. The game has just begun.
