Thanks Eovan and Silver for the input.
I could do that Eovan.
Silver: for the multi-class idea: the player will not be the combined barbarian-wizard-elf-thief, but a weakling who can train to maybe become as butt-kicking as the barbarian or as spellificated as the wizard, but not both. I govern the amount of intelligence and EXP the player earns, remember. You'll only be able to do the training I mentioned once, to get your character up to the level of the barbarian, etc. before entering the quests. You could train in strength and agility (barbarian), all spells (wizard) or both but not great (elf).
