[kCBT3] Skill Additions and Changes

[kCBT3] Skill Additions and Changes to Classes
===============================================
[Updated as of 16th of October, 2015 kCBT3 Patch.]

Overheat System
-----------------

- Overheat is the multiple skill use system. Skills which are overheat skills can be used multiple times before going on cooldown depending on the amount of charges it has.
-If you have used a skill's overheat charge without putting the skill on cooldown, it will regain the charge in the same time as its cooldown.
-e.g. Swordsman's Bash has two charges before cooldown. If you use one charge, it will gain it back in 6 seconds. If you use up all the charges, it will go on cooldown for 6 seconds, with all charges refreshed.
-All overheat charge Regain Times are equal to its original cooldown time. (Adjustments to cooldown do not affect the regain time.)
-This means that with this system, you can manage overheat skills by preventing them from going on cooldown by actively using a range of skills or holding out on some skill charges.

==================================================

Class Advancement
------------------

You are no longer locked out of a class if you did not pick it at a previous rank.
When choosing a class to advance to, any class which is available at your current rank and previous ranks are now options.
