                        Umm... small point I'd like to make here. The Conan of Howard's
                        stories did a lot of sneaking, climbing into places, and similar such
                        things. Howard's Conan was an experienced woodsman, hunter, and even
                        thief -- not just a big brawny warrior.

                        Paper RPGs first started to abandon the class-level system more than
                        twenty years ago. These days, even D&D allows characters to mix
                        classes fairly easily, and many of the abilities that used to be
                        exclusive to certain classes (such as a thief's abilities) are now
                        skills that can be learned by members of any class. The main thing
                        that a character's class or classes determine now is what sort of
                        magic they can use, if any.

                        Alternatively, if your goal is to provide maximum entertainment, you
                        could implement what's the common practice among many paper gaming
                        groups: players having a stable of characters. If I want to feel like
                        a powerful wielder of magic, I can pull out my mage character and play
                        it. If I feel like thinking my way around obstacles, I can play my
                        thief character. If I've had a bad day and want to smash things and
                        go "ug" a lot, I can play my troll barbarian.
                        
                        If you abandon the idea of the game being a quest for players to build
                        a more powerful character, with things like character death being
                        setbacks on that path, and you're not worried about whether or not
                        people are really "roleplaying", then why not allow players to create
                        multiple characters and use them as they see fit?
                        
                        In many paper groups, players are allowed to create characters as they
                        see fit. If the group is currently 12th level, and a player who's
                        been playing a mage up until now decides she's tired of playing a mage
                        and would rather play a ranger, then many groups will simply let her
                        create a new, 12th level ranger and play that character. Quite a few
                        groups allow switching back and forth between multiple characters --
                        you have to choose one for each adventure just so things don't get
                        inconsistent with different characters popping in and out, but that's
                        a fairly short-term commitment.
                        
                        The paper RPG Ars Magica does something a bit different -- in it, the
                        players play members of a covenant of wizards. Each player has one
                        wizard character. However, the convenant of wizards also has a number
                        of other characters, both major and minor associated with it.
                        
                        First, there are companions (may be remembering the term used
                        wrongly), who are not wizards, but are skill specialists who do jobs
                        the wizards can't or won't -- e.g., engineers, alchemists,
                        blacksmiths, that sort of thing. A player has the option of creating
                        a companion, and a companion created by the player can belong
                        exclusively to that player, or can be shared property of the group,
                        who anyone can choose to play. Someone playing a companion on an
                        adventure normally does this instead of playing a wizard.
                        
                        Second, there are grogs, who are warriors in service to the covenant.
                        Grogs are given individual names, personalities, etc., but are always
                        considered to be shared property. A player who is playing a companion
                        will often play a grog (or more than one!) as well; this balances the
                        *player's* ability to do things in the game with that of a player
                        playing a wizard. (Wizards in Ars Magica are very powerful -- enough
                        so that even an apprentice is a very flexible, powerful character). A
                        player who wants to can play nothing but grogs in an adventure,
                        generally playing several of them.
                        
                        Thus, Ars Magica not only allows players to play different characters
                        at different times, but has situations where a player can play
                        multiple characters at once.

                        In a situation like I'm describing, choices are irrevocable for a
                        particular character, but a player can choose to create a new
                        character. A player doing so isn't required to start over, but can
                        instead start the new character at a level of power comparable to that
                        of their old character. (Of course, they can also have the option of
                        starting at a lower power level, which can be good if you're making a
                        drastic change in character type, into a type that you have no
                        experience playing yet.)
                        
                        I'll note as well that in most modern paper RPGs, things are done on a
                        skill or semi-skill basis. Even in D&D, which still has classes, a
                        Ranger could choose to start picking up levels in the Druid class, and
                        would still know all the skills, languages, etc. that he/she already
                        knows.

                        Allowing multiple characters lets you have it both ways, IMHO. Each
                        individual character remains consistent, but the *player* can choose
                        to experience a different aspect of the game at any time.
                        
                        Now, please note that I'm not saying that this idea is an immediate
                        cure-all -- allowing players to have multiple characters is going to
                        carry its own set of problems, especially if you allow them to play
                        multiple characters at once. I'm simply saying that it's something to
                        think about. Just because present muds almost all try to enforce one
                        character per player doesn't mean that it's necessary to any type of
                        mud that one might create.
