Can you make a new class?

If you edit the string file for the everquest client you can change the name of the class to anything you want, you can also create, change, and delete their spells but that is about it.

Well that's enough really... If you just deleet the spells you don't want and change values for the spells you do want you can pretty much make a new class. Can things be done to skills? Like again deleeting them or moving the caps up and down?

Yes, you can modify the way skills are handled on the server side. You will need to know C/C++ to get anything done.

a class cannot be created from the scratch, but can be heavily modded.
Its impossible to give new skills to a class (even if they altered server side, the client still governs who gets what and when), but you can alter their caps per level.

And of course all spells and disciplines are fully customizable.

I have done some heavy modding myself, and basically "created" as many as 6 new classes

No C++ coding was required =P

I suppose it depends on how/what you want to mod. For instance, if you wanted a ranger to have the block skill (even though the client cannot allow you to train it) you can factor it into the server code when doing avoidance. So its not impossible, it just requires some c/c++.
