You could then give every class a small percentage chance to use any
skill. The problem is that some people will attempt to abuse this and
simply set macros to do the action until successful.
I think that while probably very unrealistic, splitting skills and spells
up cleanly between the classes is a "good thing" because it encourages
people to group together, rather than create single characters that can
"do it all". I've always felt that the need to group up with players
from other classes was one of the best aspects of DIKU.
