Maybe make a list variable and leave it empty to start. Then make another list for each class with the items they can buy. Then when a player uses the shop, check for their class, and add to the empty list the items in the list that coresponds with the players class. Then, when they choose to buy, show them the items in the list with the newly added items and go from there.

Glad to help.

It's really simple when you do it and should prove effective. Here's a quick snippet on how it would look.

mob/Shopkeeper
    icon = 'blah.dmi'
    icon_state = "blah"
    verb/Shop()
         switch(alert("Welcome. What do you want to do?","Shop","Buy items","Sell")) //i like to use alert here, but input is fine too
             if("Buy items")
                  Buy_Items() //call the Buy_Items porc

proc/Buy_Items(mob/M)
   var/list/buyable = list() //empty list
   var/list/Swordsman = list(new /obj/Sword) //swordsman list
   var/list/Mage = list(new /obj/Staff) //mage list
   if(M.class = "Swordsman") //if thats the class
       buyable += Swordsman //add that list
   var/obj/O = input("What would you like to buy?","Buy items")in buyable //any item in buyable is shown
        //continue from there


Just a quick snippet. Probably made a mistake somewhere, but its just a really basic example. Correct if you please.

You really don't have to do this, as you can go around it with the way the shop is designed. Keep several variables for pages that contain lists of items classes can buy, then display the appropriate page after checking the class of the player who is shopping and in each page provide links to each other class's page. Realistically you would allow a player to buy anything regardless if it goes with their class or not, though you would warn the player before buying that they can't use/wear/equip that item with their current class.

Yeah you could do that too. There's many ways to do it.
