Very good, so you should understand what I am going to say.

When you develope a character over a number of years, that charactor
takes on attributes based on the type, and the god it is involved with.
With that, you carve out specfic items and enhancements around the
specifics of the charactorists of that charactor.  The biggest aspect of
this development is the mix and strength of spells which so a charactor
posesses and if you recatagorized the spells, you significantly alter
the properties of developed charactors.

The last time they made such a revamp, I lost the ability to use arrows
which was a huge part of my game play at the time being an elf that uses
Gaea.
