I wonder how many other players draft ideas for new kits like I do. If you do, post them here for others to see and maybe even have an interested modder make them a reality. They can be either ideas taken from PnP or wild creations of your own imagination. They don't have to be balanced, but feel free to comment on ideas for balancing them! Here are my drafts that I have lying around.
Dragon Fist (monk) - a glass cannon, probably the most imbalanced
Spellthief (bard) - a mage/thief like class
Mystic Fire (paladin) - a semi-paladin/mage
Loremaster (bard) - a mage-like bard
Dragon Fist (monk) - a glass cannon, probably the most imbalanced
DRAGON FIST: There is a sect of spiritual warriors said to have the blood of ancient dragonkin running through their veins. These warriors harness the power of their dragon blood to unleash powerful flames from their hands and feet in the same ways monks wield ki. The chaotic instincts and imbalance in the dragon fist's blood often cause practitioners to be destructive and violent in nature, but not necessarily malevolent like their draconic ancestors.

Spellthief (bard) - a mage/thief like class
SPELLTHIEF: Spellthieves use skill and arcane magic to drain the abilities of their opponents and turn their foes' own powers against them. Spellthieves love the challenges that adventure brings, and they relish finding unique and inventive ways to use their abilities. Because they have such a wide variety of abilities, spellthieves can adapt themselves to overcome nearly any challenge, but they have neither the overpowering arcane might of wizards nor the brute force of fighters. Spellthieves never cast two spells when one will do, and they excel at using misdirection and deception to overcome seemingly stronger opponents.

I started creating my own fighter kit (a samurai) which I was able to put into the game but got a bit stuck with its spells.
I've also got plans for a ninja kit that I'm still fleshing out.
I'll post their descriptions here when I get home to my laptop.
Warpriest - Cleric Kit.
At 3rd level, the Warpriest gains Remove Fear as an innate ability, gaining an additional use every 5 levels.
At 6th level, the Warpriest gains Chant as an innate ability, gaining an additional use every 5 levels.
At 9th level, the Warpriest gains Haste as an innate ability, gaining an additional use every 5 levels.
At 10th level, and every ten levels thereafter, the Warpriest gains an additional 1/2 an attack per round, to a maximum of 3 APR at level 40.
High Level Abilities: Instead of Aura of Flaming Death, Storm of Vengeance and Globe of Blades, Warpriests gain Whirlwind Attack, Smite, and Call of War.
Call of War
School: Invocation
Range: Self.
Duration: 4 turns.
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 30 ft.
Saving Throw: None
The Strength, Dexterity and Constitution of all allies within the area of effect, including summons, is increased by 5 for the duration.
Disadvantages: The Warpriest gains one fewer spell slots per spell level.
Arcane Fist - Sorcerer Kit.
The Arcane Fist gains a -1 bonus to AC and saving throws versus Death. This increases by an additional -1 at level 4, and every four levels thereafter.
At level 2, and every three levels thereafter up to level 17, the Arcane Fist gains a +1 bonus to hit (effectively giving 8 THAC0 at level 21).
Arcane Fists gain 2% MR per level.
The Arcane Fist may make 1 unarmed attack each round. Every six levels, this is improved by 1/2 an attack per round to a maximum of 3 times a round at level 24.
The Arcane Fist's unarmed attacks deal 1D6.
At level 5, the Arcane Fist's unarmed attacks are considered +1 Magic Weapons, gaining a +1 bonus to hit, but not damage. This increases to +2 at level 8, +3 at level 11, +4 at level 15, and +5 at level 20. Their second weapon slot also contains a 1D6 unarmed strike that is not considered a magic weapon.
Arcane Fists gain the Arcane Strike I-IX spells automatically. Arcane Strikes all last 1 round/level, have a casting time of 2, and their spell level is in the name. And yes, they stack, which might make this kit nightmare mode to implement, depending how much can be .
Arcane Strike I: Unarmed Attacks gain +1 to hit deal an additional 1D2 magic damage, +1D2 every two caster levels up to level 10.
Strike II: The Arcane Fist may attack with their fists as a ranged weapon, launching bolts of energy from their strikes that hit with the same damage as the punches themselves.
Strike III: The Arcane Fist becomes hasted and becomes immune to hold and slow effects. Their unarmed Attacks gain +3 to hit and deal 1 Fire, 1 Cold and 1 Electrical damage per hit.
Strike IV: The Arcane Fist's unarmed attacks cause 5% stacking spellcasting failure for 1 turn per hit.
Strive V: The Arcane Fist's unarmed strikes cause the victim to suffer a -1 Save Penalty and -5% MR penalty on hit for 1 turn. This stacks with itself.
Strike VI: The Arcane Fist's attacks per round double, and each hit causes the victim to be slowed for 1 turn unless they save vs. spells at -4.
Strike VII: The Arcane Fist's unarmed strikes cast Laloch's Minor Drain on the target when hit. The Laloch's Minor Drain is cast as a level 7 spell.
Strike VIII: The Arcane Fist's unarmed strikes deal 1D20 damage per hit and stun the target for 1 round if they fail a save vs. spell at +2.
Strike IX: The Arcane Fist's unarmed strikes become vorpal weapons, dealing maximum damage per hit, and have a 10% chance of killing their victim on hit.
High Level Abilities:
Arcane Fists do not gain Energy Blades, Dragon's Breath, Summon Planetar or Comet, or additional spell slots.
Arcane Fists gain:
Improved Unarmed Strike I-III - Unarmed Strikes deal 1D8, 1D10, and 1D12 respectively, changing both unarmed attacks.

Ghost Step Style: The Arcane Fist gains a +5 offhand unarmed strike. This offhand weapon deals 1D12 damage with +5 to hit. When it hits an opponent, the Arcane Fist casts Mirror Image on themselves.
Path of Perfection: The Arcane Fist's primary unarmed strikes deal +5 damage per hit +1D4 magic damage and give +1 APR.
Disadvantages: The Arcane Fist does not gain weapon proficiencies, and may not use weapons.
Arcane Fists gain 1 fewer spells known per spell level.

Greater Eidolon:
- Can have 1 per day.
- 3 APR, -5 THAC0.
- Can cast Whirlwind Attack, once.

The Spiritsinger doesn't get Spike Traps, Time Stop Traps, or a regular Bard Song - the three HLAs that give high level bards the majority of their power. Its a summoning specialist, yet even if the Spiritsinger is singing at the time, the Greater Eidolon is less durable and less versatile than the standard mage's summon. If it was dropped to 10% with a save, making it actually worse than the Silver Sword (http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Silver_Sword), it would arguably be worth dropping it entirely and replacing it with a stronger weapon without vorpal, such as the Psion's Blade +5, while allowing the HLA to be taken multiple times and actually giving it some interesting immunities.
