Yes, you can manage that in many ways. For example, you can do one class for each race x class or you can manage that using variables: you can create the player variable "playerClass" where 0 = human, 1 = elf... and classes warrior and mage. If you try this way, you may use a common event to select the skill the player will learn defining a leveling up trigger and a simple command block, such as:

 

1 if player level is equals to 5:

   2  if player variable playerClass is equals to 0:

        3 if player class is mage:

            4 learn spell human thunder

        3 else

            4 if player class is warrior

                5 learn spell human punch

            4

        3

    2 else

         3 if player variable playerClass is equals to 1:       

             4 if player class is mage:

                 5 learn spell elf thunder

             4 else

                 5 if player class is warrior

                     6 learn spell elf punch

                 5

             4

         3

Its possible with the event system however better to do it with source when that becomes available. I personally would stay away from races as it will be a lot of effort to maintain all of the paperdolls for each race unless you give your orcs and dwarfs the same dimensions as human sprites which defeats the point :p.

i was thinking using gimp to make my own orc sprites and then have them be a class like the orc with a head and what not  using sprite editor like it would add a human mage
