Just an idea, I don't know if anyone has thought of doing this before..

Basically, some classes (orc in particular) lend themselves to being more of a bully class, and not exactly the stuff a hero is made of. With this in mind, would it make sense to slope the exp penalty so that at low ranks, they behave as if they had no penalty, for quick and easy ranking, but as they gain ranks, cause the penalty to increase dramatically...

...this would make it difficult, or even near impossible to hero such a class.

For example, necro's might be one to use something like this. As they reach rank 45, start doubling the exp to rank each rank. It just becomes more difficulty to learn the advanced arts if you don't have any first hand experience. If they lich, the penalty goes away.

Another thing that could be done is to break down the walls of limiting races to certain classes, but add a penalty such as this to the unlikely combo's. Some races just have a real hard time becoming anything special with certain classes.

Any potential?
