i see just use magic item (can't get elsewhere), find/disarm traps, one h weapon (so he can start)and woodlore (journeyman).
maybe it could be the class where you keep the stats rolled.
for lockpicking, you need to give a lockpick, it's the thief role. but it would be nice, not hitting doors with your head for the 2 first levels...
and for the face, why not a mirror ? 'cause if you create a new face, maybe i'd like to play with
well what about a big room with a scroll for every skill that isnt race specific, and let them pick what they want, but limit the amount of scrolls they can leave with? and make a room that boosts their reading ability so they cant not learn the skills?
what if the quizing part is kept, so if your serious about making your own character classtype thing, you have to know how to do the simple stuff like that?
also just give rooms with scrolls in them from other classes. that way you can use a class as a template, and then mod it. probably also should use gems and exchange them for the respective scrolls in the next room, so you cant just get away with stealing a bunch of scrolls...
