Because I am a gigantic nerd, I wrote programs to randomly generate classes for Morrowind and Skyrim characters, in case anyone wanted to play these games but couldn't decide how.
I defined a Skyrim "class" as a collection of six skills, because that's what NPCs typically have. (Morrowind's classes are explicitly defined within the game. Unsurprisingly, the Morrowind program is much more complicated.) The skill distribution is not completely uniform: I have rules in place to make sure all of the classes are playable. For example, no Skyrim class will have Pickpocket but not Sneak, since this would be totally worthless. For Morrowind, every class will have either Marksman or Destruction, since no one wants cliff racers to be even more annoying. I also like specialized characters, so you won't see any classes with multiple armor or melee weapon skills.
These programs are written in Java and require that you have a Java Runtime Environment installed. To run the programs, open a command prompt in the directory containing the file(s) and type:
java -jar [MorrowindClassGenerator.jar or SkyrimClassGenerator.jar]
