I was actually thinking of having each class have its own subset of skills, but 1) that would be too much word and 2) this is just fine.

Perhaps classes (like races) grant a bonus to certain skills and penalties to others while using them?

You’re just full of great ideas. Why don’t you start working on that?

I’ve already got 2 proposals in the works.

I’ve actually thought of something better.

Increased/decreased cost to leveling up skills based on class.

Also, whenever someone decides to put skills to use? Skill use should IMHO, be a combinsation of Skill and Attribute.

I like bonuses as opposed to changes in cost. Just like race has attribute bonuses, class should have skill bonuses. Then, we can have more advanced classes giving better skill bonuses.

We can also make overall level be a formula that encompasses combat-related skills and attributes.

Also, I was thinking that we could make it to where when an adventurer “levels up” on their overall level, they get attribute points (about 3/2 times the number of attributes) to spread however they choose with some restrictions, such as lesser attributes (the lower half) can never exceed greater attributes (the greater half). Does that even remotely make sense?
