So here's what I was thinking of doing.
For an upcoming release, as I was creating, it occurred to me that other RPGs often substitute the term Job or Profession rather than Class. Profession is already a skill so we wouldn't pay as much attention to that, but you get what I'm getting at.
The system has Classless in the name, so I feel like keeping the core idea at heart in our content is very important, yet at the same time we have brought in Prestige Paths, which are VERY close to Prestige Paths from D&D 3e and 3.5. However, I have never heard someone overtly take issue with that particular component of the content.
With that in mind, I was considering taking Background feats to the next level, creating a feature or path that a character can select which somehow opens them up to boost, enhancements, or features, depending on what one they selected. Somewhat like the Unearthed Arcana Bloodlines, but meets Background feats in that you get a bit, but are barred from access to certain things. Obviously, as I felt that this might be dangerously close to classes, I figured I'd ask for opinions.
While this idea is in its infancy, I was hoping to find opinions on if I should execute the idea in a fashion similar to this, or really what your thoughts are on this as a whole. Obviously the poll has a lot of answers, but it can't account for everything, so feel free to comment your closest approximation, and then comment a more accurate feeling you may have.
