In that case "vampire" can't be a race, because the character still needs to retain aspects of its former race (unless you say that only humans can become vampires, or create a separate vampire version of each existing race, or add some sort of ).
I'm fairly sure that rangers can choose their best weapon category (six categories, you can specify which is your best, second best, third best, etc), and I recall reading various optional rules in the RM companion books for learning magic outside of your normal lists.
Rolemaster also has a generic class which could be used to represent a classless system.
Assuming that those barriers are artificial, of course, which isn't always the case - it depends what the classes represent.
They are only "regular" skills if you're a human (assuming humans are capable of learning spellcraft). For a race of sentient wolves, one-handed weapons and lockpicking would certainly not be "regular" skills - but for a pixie, flying would be.
