Can you change the classes that a race can play?

I finally took the time to reinstall EQ, so I'm waiting for the next patch to play it, but I was wondering if it's possible to change the classes that races can play. For example, can you make a half elf cleric, or a shaman, etc.?

They can't do it in the char creation process, since the available race/class combos are hardwired into the interface, but once they create a character either a GM can use #permarace or #permaclass or a quest could set their race/class to something different.

Ahh, cool I can't wait to get this thing running.

Its not possible to add more classes to a race, but you can ban a class/race combo at character creation. You jsut have to add code in the character creation method in the server that checks to see if its a banned class and race and reject it instead of creating the character. But with the GM commands it is possible for any race to be any class. I had a monk that was permanently a castle for a while. But if you do this regularly you may want to modify some items, since like Monk only items are generally human/Iskar only also. So Monk/Any would be better if you want to allow weird combos.

You can do the same thing for expansions if you want. Just edit the Expansions variable in the DB to read 1 or something instead of 61 or 255 whatever the numbers are for PoP and GoD.

Anyone know what the variable number is for PoP? Thats the highest expansion I'd like to accept.

Thanks!
