     As it is now, as I understand, Skills are deterined by level, ie: 
     Thives gain Backstab lets say at level 3, it shouldn't even show up 
     as something he CAN practice till he hits level 3.  And Unfourtionatly
     I think spells are doen by class only, ie: if you create a character
     and make him 20th level,he has all the spells/skills of a 20th level
     mage, but if you then change his class to a cleric *poof* he's got 
     spells of a cleric of 20th level, you'd have to make something where 
     certain spells for individual characters are saved seperatly somewhere.
