Or how about a Gnome class?
Thanks in advance.
Does anybody have any stats available for example a Rangers/Forrester class?
Or how about a Gnome class?
You mean, alternative to the Forester and Gnome provided in DotE and Top Ballista, respectively?
Looking at the canon material, we have:
1) the Forester from DotE -- this is basically a human who progresses as an elf.
2) the Druidic Knight from Dragon Magazine -- this is the Neutral equivalent of the Paladin/Avenger; makes a fine Ranger character as well
3) the fighters from Atruaghin clans have several restrictions that make them more or less like Rangers
If so I haven't got that one.
Are the stats online anywhere?
Do you mean the Dawn of the Emperors boxed set?

Not... exactly.
All you really do is grab the rules for being an Elf, write up background and such as a Human, and you're good to go, though. Rakes are fairly similar - take the Thief rules, drop the Pick Pockets skill, and you're set.

Well, of course the Forester doesn't get the special abilities of elves (infravision and immunities).
GAZ2 - human dervishes (desert druids)
GAZ3 - various advanced wizardry groups
GAZ6 - dwarf clerics (of Kagyar)
GAZ8 - hin masters (druid-mages)
GAZ9 - elf/human merchant prince (sea wizard)
GAZ10 - humanoids as PCs, and shaman/wicca spellcasters
GAZ12 - shaman (modified cleric)
DotE - human foresters (basically, fighter-mages)
Some of these could be made as initial starting classes. I think that applies to the following:
* Forester (open to elves and humans trained by elves)
* Cleric (gaz. specifically notes as open to dwarves)
* Ethengar shaman (modified cleric that Ethengars must take instead of regular cleric class)
The following would be best presented as prestige classes:
* All the funky advanced wizards from GAZ3
* Hin Master (open to hin only)
* Merchant prince (open to elves and humans in Minrothad)
I'm sure I've missed a few. I'm leaving the mystic out of this post.

IIRC also Hutaaka, Kubitts, Lizardmen and Brutemen.

Oh, yes, they're in HW too. BTW, I did also forget the Hobgoblin from GAZ10, the Sphynx and Faenare from PC2, the Pooka, Wooddrake, Redcap, Leprechaun and Satyr from PC1, and the N'djatwa from Dragon Magazine.
Well, I wasn't counting races in Mystara, only source material where new classes were introduced.
The OP asked for new OD&D classes:
Or how about a Gnome class?
So I suppose it's ok if we list a few of the race-classes as well.
I'll admit I don't have my copy of Top Ballista to hand, but istr that the gnome class there had various engineering skills as an intrinsic part of the character. I kind of figured that made it more like a character of race:gnome and class:engineer (for want of a better word; "tinker" has been ruined for this purpose). Almost all the other non-human classes that have been presented are really fighters with various racial modifications added on; once you remove their race-specific benefits, their class becomes apparent.
Gnomes do have some special "powers", but their're still basically fighters as well. Anyway, I think you're mostly looking at the humanoids, who indeed are fighters (what else could they be?). Other race-classes of OD&D are similar to other human/demihuman classes (IIRC, Hsiao are basically clerics, Wooddrakes are thief-like, brownies are more or less like halflings, and sidhe are elf-like), of course, with a few exceptions -- the Nagpa and the Pooka are heavily based on special powers.
However, I intended the original post as a request for more OD&D classes, so including both races and class in the same package (though even in OD&D there are a few instances of races that are not classes at the same time -- human, half-elf and rakasta, mostly).
If before the ODnD/1e split how about these
