But the only reason why stealing goes 'fast' is because of Kingdoms' system where you can level any stat you want simply by readying the skill first. Leveling Agility quickly has nothing to do with Agility's skills at all. It has to do with players readying skills to siphon party exp into the stat category they want it to go into.
Class skills are not going to become limited, ever. That means restructuring the entire system, which will not happen.
Uh, that's the way it is now. Anyone can do anything if they just have the skills for it.

More stuff:

I don't think either of you are quite thinking much about the repercussions of limiting classes. As much as the classes should be segregated like they are in normal RPGs, it would be detrimental to Kingdoms' structure as a whole. Doing so would mean:

- Voiding everyone's hard-earned levels in categories other than their class default.
- Limiting players to only one fighting style. (It's not like stuff other than melee and some magic has been developed that well anyway.)
- Eliminating all skill scrolls.
- Placing hard restrictions on wieldable weapon types.
- Screwing the economy even harder.

The problem with pulling the classes apart is that it would severely limit players and give them far less opportunity to succeed in the future. Scroll writing, blessing, alchemy, and other skills are great moneymakers, and making them separate only upsets what balance we've already got going on.

What I propose is not taking classes apart, but simply finding ways to develop them more. If there were level-based rewards, it might become easier for players to level in different categories. I'll try to make up some scales later on so I can show everyone what I mean.

YES man i want that !, it would be cool
