Not a bad idea except for the fact that eventually you will have characters
walking around that can cast all cleric/mage spells and use all thief/warrior
skills and anything else if you have more classes.  When was the last time you
saw a top level Warrior/Thief/Mage/Cleric.  Talk about multiclass.
You would have to add some other code to prevent this.  Or something such as if
the players class is currently a warrior, then he would slowly lose his mage,
cleric spells and thief skills.

Just a thought
