Few ideas for some classes that didn't get anything recently. Samurai skill: Honorable death. If a samurai dies while defending others (tanking) his fighting spirit blesses his allies upon his passing. Could be its own spell affect or a combination of other buff spells. (bless, frenzy, haste, etc). Could also put an alignment twist on it as well. A good aligned player would end up "blessing" his group and an evil aligned player "cursing" the opponent(s). Monk skill: Quivering palm. Initiates combat with reasonable damage and chances for other random affects depending on skill level. Most common I would say is dazing an opponent much like getting hit in the head by a mace. Possible destance, short duration weaken or even feeblemind affects. Illusionist spell: Phantasmal image. An illusionist playing on the fears of their opponent surrounds themselves with terror invoking images. Having to face these images causes physical and mental anguish. Think mirror image but upon striking an image it has a chance to cause damage to hps mana or move at random. I would say give it a longer duration than mirror image but only able to cast out of combat. Gunslinger skill: Tight grouping. After shooting guns for so long an experienced gunslinger gets better at keeping on target while quickly pulling the trigger. This would raise the hit ratio of the gunslinger's burst (and only burst). Semi auto and full auto are kind of "spray and pray" tactics whereas I see burst being a more controlled attack. Sketch
