class/race restrictions

The thing is, you would then get everyone min/maxing everything about their character... for example - You'd have everyone make a High Elf bard for the massive charisma boost and then they'd change their race to whatever they wanted to be.

You'd have to make it so that when a race is changed, stats get set to whatever defaults are for that race.

For example - You could make it so that everyone has to be a human to start and then they hail an NPC and choose their class and race. Once they do that, stats are added (or subtracted) based on whatever race they finally become.

Also that zone would need to be inaccessible from anywhere after character creation, so people couldn't change their race later. You could always set it as a flag in the db, but it'd be easier to make it an introduction zone.

Just my opinion anyway.

I didn't thought to this... But if it's done correctly the players should not be able to finetune their class. This system would only work if you want to limit to for exemple 3 class/race combo. I am actualy working on this for my stand alone server.

I will modify :
- the stats with : quest::setstat(statid,value)
- the skills with : quest:setskillall(0) + questaddskill(skill,value)
- the class with : quest::permaclass(classid)
- the race with : quest::permarace(raceid)
- the deity with : quest::changedeity(deityid)
- the bind location with : quest::rebind(zoneid,x,y,z)

After just TL the character to his bind point and it should be ok.

Just use the legit server player options (I mean command lines that are working) and it should be ok.
