That would be very helpful if you had the time. The whole point of going
through this is the reason you gave... I want MOBs to cast spells and use
skills of their class during combat (or even through DG scripts/triggers
later on).
Also, since I'm a little new at this, I don't know what an e-spec for class
is... I guess I'll do a little back reading in the archives to try to
figure that one out.
Thanks for your response, and any help you can provide!
