This page is intended for the discussion of HOW to build a GenClass, not a listing of the classes themselves (which should be available in the player CLASS page). Classes can be created through the command line (CL) or through the MUDGrinder.
			Be careful with class balance. Ideally, all classes should provide an interesting reason to be played, and a unique experience. When I design classes, I try to adhere to several guidelines:
			#All classes should have at least 3 ways for a level 30 player to play the class as a specialist
			#*For example, a Beastmaster druid could focus his advancement on shapeshifting, breeding, or animal followers.
			#All classes should maintain a unique set of abilities that other classes cannot get.
			#*This means that abilities unique to an existing class should generally not be shared with a new class, unless you are going to grant the existing class an additional unique ability to replace it.
			#*Classes should have at least 20 unique abilities that are not shared with other classes.
			#At level 30, Classes should average 2 abilities gained per level, and qualify for at least 1 ability/3 levels. Most of the GAINED abilities will be granted early in the classes career, and this includes abilities such as COMMON, Skill_Swim, Write and FireBuilding.
			#*Any ability that has a prerequisite MUST be a qualify ability. Qualify abilities are the best way to provide playability distinctions referenced in guideline#1.
