Class designs basically. Have a more fluid layout or working on that. Need a new DLL, changing inventory again which is always a pain in the ass. The last class setup was a huge headache for folks, including my self so I've smoothed it out a bit more. Working on another test of that now.

But since I'm awful at actually writing out updates on stuff I might as well throw some of it here.

There's basically 3 Classes you choose from, and doing so stamps your character as that for the rest of the game. Instead of doing a convoluted confusing sub-classing system I just allow any class to dabble into the other 40 shared skills form the other 2 classes (20 shared per class). Limitation being you can't reach 3rd tank (max skill lvl) in them. This is often a huge bonus like 20% Attack Speed on a Warrior skill, or the 50% bonus dmg spells get. Warriors also get half-caster levels so they're overall damage and duration on spells are halved to that of the other 2.

So they're the 3, Warrior, Priest, and Mage. Each one has 23 skills to them, 20 of which all classes can spend points in, 3 of which only that class can obtain and they tend to heavily enhance some play style of that class. I have most of that in and working now for the next test. After that there will be 8 Columns of 6 skills each in Tab 4 and 5, these will be racial and unique to each character.

What that comes down to for some numbers thing is 69 Shared skills across all characters (split with the 3 classes). And 48 unique skills per character. Its an awful lot of work heh but a good bits going faster as I can take it directly from the last setup.
