User blog:Lily8763cp/BFN Class Ideas

Knowing me, these are going to end up either too OP or too UP, but with Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville now out (in a way), might as come up with some class ideas because let's be real here, they will add more.

Not adding upgrade ideas because that's just another bag of worms to jump into.
