[Andrew Phillips]

Alchemist:
Witch:
The key abilities for these classes are mystical and observational.
Both classes may need the Herb Lore skill and possibly the Spot skill

For example, I think we should add a Listen skill that can be used
both for the scout-like classes (Ranger and Thief) as a variation on
spot and can be used by characters with the Songs special ability to
improve their chances of learning new songs by hearing them sung.

Ranger:
Woodland Lore/Climb/Spot/Ranged/Melee

Thief:
Thieves cannot equip heavy armours and still retain their move silent abilities.
Their key skills are Stealth and Combat Feats. For stealth, these
would be move silently, pick locks, pick pockets, and disarm traps.
They may also need the use the spot skill.

Monk: Monks who were not previously of another class cannot use
shields. Monks of any class cannot equip heavy or metallic armours.
Fighter:

The key abilities for these classes is Combat Feats: Melee, Ranged,
Armour, Shield, Body Control

I'll also try to think up some combat feats we can offer in DB.
