It's not a bad idea, it's just too extreme. One of the things that makes Terraria is the emphasis on equipment. I think classes that start out with slight buffs/debuffs would be dandy, but restricting weapon/armor use is too much. Plus, if there's going to be levels, instead of experience grinding to level up, perhaps defeating certain bosses/enemies just once could do it, or putting rare random objects similar to life crystals throughout a map to increase certain class buffs.

If i had the skills and time for modding i'd probably give it a shot. Maybe someone else already has.
