Unknown named RPG in the works

So many ideas, so little time and only one of me...
I'm kicking around an idea for a new rpg I was to create. It will be skill-based, level and class less. The player will have stats, but I haven't fleshed out what they will be. Everyone will have the ability to learn magic but unless you actually train the skill you can't use it. Weapons and armor will kinda work the same way except instead of not being able to use them you'll have a penalty when you do use it if it isn't trained. There will be a bank, a crafting system where players can create their out weapons and armor. There will also be shops but they'll only sell basic weapons and armor. I'm also going to create a quest system. For now its going to be text based and right now I'm in the design phase with only a few ideas in my head. Hopefully I'll find sometime this weekend to work on it, but we'll see. Sadly my laptop only lasts for about an hour or so on battery so I might have to use paper and a pen to code (who does that anymore lol) while I'm on the plane. I'm going away this weekend to visit some family in Washington state. Oh I almost forgot, I was discussing the idea with a friend and he wanted to know how I would let the player know what monsters they can fight and which ones they can't. I'm pretty much set on the idea that everything is a learning experience. So the first time you fight a monster its name will be in red, then after a few fights against that type of monster you'll learn more about it and its name will go yellow, then after a few more times it'll go green and finally gray. with each color change the monster will give you less and less experience... well not experience per say but the more you fight a monster the more you learn how to effectively defeat it until you can't learn anything more about the monster. I'm not certain about a death system. I've read the few posts on the forums about it but nothing is set in stone as of yet. With this rpg I'll be venturing into some unknown territory and I'm really looking forward to it. So wish me luck!
