You could possibly add baby trolls to the list along with ogres. You know 
those little brown buggers with clubs.

Well, you could look at druids as clerics i guess or you could give them 
other spells to use.

entangle
wall of wood
summon ent

im sure we could come up with some good ones if we wanted. but it was only a 
suggestion.

Also, let me get this straight.

you roll up your character
decide which race you are
go to a guild and join to get your class
your guild would then give you your starting items (Idea: maybe a quest too)
you could then join a religion (if you wanted or had to according to class)
