Baka Artses Studios Inc. of RPGMakerVX.net requested this script, so I figured what the hell... why not?

What this script does:

This script basically gives you a menu within which you can change your characters class.

This script is fully working and (crosses fingers) 100% bug free!!!!

I hope you enjoy the script, its my FIRST ONE! :D
(When I say this is my first script, I mean my first released script! lol)

Please feel free to give me feedback/suggestions on this script, so that I might improve in the future.

Great script!

I'm no good at scripting, but I could see a lot of cool additions to this script, like certain Actors not being able to change their class; being able to change a characters base stats and stat growth via jobs; etc.

Awesome script none the less!

Oh, one other addition I'm sure a lot would enjoy is being able to unlock certain classes by numerous conditions. (Some of which I can think of right now: Based on anoter class (one or more) level(Like Final Fantasy Tactics). And via script as a reward from quests and such.)

Thanks a ton for taking these idea's into heart. I find this script very useful with a project I'm currently working on, and would love to see these features implemented!

::Edit::
I did some battle and experience testing.
I set the reward experience to max for killing a test monster, and upon victory I received the "-name- is now -Class- Level 75!" but when I went to change my class, it said my class level was only level 2. I'm assuming that the class level is only going to the next level (from level 1 to 2) instead of jumping from 1 to 75.

(It may be the battle system I'm using is conflicting, but I do not see why that would be affecting it.)

hmm.. what script are you using? because by default, classes don't have levels, only the actors have levels, and when you change an actors class, they're level is left unchanged.

and I don't see how my script would conflict with that seeing how it doesn't change or touch any variables or globals at all. also, if you have yahoo or msn messenger, send me a PM with your SN, I'd love to chat with you about your ideas for my script.

Ahh, my mistake. I had downloaded your script and another job class script to test them both. I mistook the other script as yours.
Right now I am using yours in the project I'm currently messing around on.

PM'ed you my sn.
