as you've seen, when you class change, the Stats drop to the Race and Class minimums, meaning a Lizardman Fighter -> Samurai will have 12 STR, 11 Int, 5 Pie (Lizardman's low), 14 vitality (Lizardman minimum), 12 dexterity, 14 Speed, and 8 personality.
however, the experiance level system works the same as a regular level 1 character, so the Fighter who would need 200,000 more XP to get one level up, now only needs 1,250 XP to level up once. by this time, the monsters net you 10 K XP per battle, which means he will level up to 5 or 6 in no time flat. which means you get spells pretty fast, and if you do it right, you can easily have all spells, ninjutsu, and Kirijutsu for everyone, but you have to plan it right (no Samurai -> priest -> mage -> alchemist -> Psionic, since the stats drop, and it'd take 15 level ups to get those stats back so you can change to a Psionic, plus lots of luck)
if you plan on spending a lot of time class changing using whatever battle generators you can find (where you can repeatedly fight battles endlessly), make sure your other characters can handle the battle, like a mage with Nuclear Blast helps, if you find a close fountain, or Conjuration.
also, only class change one or two members at a time, so the others can pick up the slack, as those changers revert back to level 1 stats, and can no longer get 2 or 3 attacks per round, or cast a level 7 nuclear blast spell, until they level up enough.
good choices for this, are Lord, Samurai, Monk, and Ninja, as they have almost all stats with high requirements, but a Ninja only needs 1 intelligence adn 2 speed (plus the 8 Personality, which is only a problem for Lizardman and Dracon) to become a Samurai, and conversly, a Samurai needs 3 more vitality, plus 10 Piety to become a ninja (only a problem for Hobbits, Faeries, Lizardman, and Mook.
so, basically, look at the stats first, and see which professions are open already, and see what you need to get a more elite class. if you only need 1 or two points to get a Samurai, wait for it instead, as you don't get that lucky that often. even 2 of those level ups is better than waiting forever to hope those stats go back up all the way, to change to a Samurai later.
