While I agree that your actions defines your character...I think it's safe to say that in real life most of us are, at least in part, classified by what we do. Who I am, at least for now, is in part being in Sales. It is a career choice and I will probably always be in Sales. So what I was getting at is that, as in real life, limiting and categorizing a character by one particular "Class" is like saying to me "you can never have any other job than being in Sales". While it may very well be true that *that* is all I would ever want to be...the lack of choice is bad.
Anyway, I am not trying to say your method is bad by any means. I am just trying to strive for a more realistic view of RP. To me, choice is good. I think most RP'rs would agree. One of our slogan lines is "choice an identity, not a race; a home, not a starting point; a destiny, not a class"...I think a detailed enough classless system allows full customization for a player to make their character exactly what thier life leads them to be. Just my 2 cents.
