Getting to use your powers in RP is cool. It's even cooler if they have some kind of mechanical value in the overworld. So I started to conceptualize a number, based on my past experience with games like World of Warcraft, whose roleplaying experience was greatly enriched by this kind of thing.
I see 'Class Talents' as being a new Survival Talent whose exact subtalents only appear if you have the relevant class equipped, kind of like Ninjutsu. 2 SP per talent point, with every talent only having one point of max investment and you get your base class talents if you have a promotion equipped. Most of these would be used through the new Context Menu, and talents marked with an * require you to be party leader for them to have an effect on gameplay. In my recent thread on splitting talents, these would be Domestic talents.
ARCHER
BARD
CURATE
DUELIST
MAGE
MARTIAL ARTIST
ROGUE
SOLDIER
SUMMONER
In retrospect, some of the talents seem broad enough that they should maybe be general, rather than locked to specific classes. Things like Tracking and Stealth especially, with their class talents maybe just making them a bit better instead.
I managed to write something for a ton more classes than I thought I would, with only Duelist and Solblader still missing. I'd love to hear other ideas in the thread.

In my recent thread on splitting talents, these would be Domestic talents.
ARCHER
*Guerilla: You are very effective at hiding in nests, even fake ones. On the overworld, you can use the context menu to transform your sprite into a small selection of bushes, barrels, and other such objects. You gain Stealth, meaning players cannot examine you unless they are within 3 range, and monsters will not target you. The transformation is broken if you move.
Studious Tracker: Nothing gets past a proper hunter. You may activate tracking through the context menu. While active, moving players leave behind tracks for one in-game hour that only you can see. Mousing over them will tell you the party leader's alias, and the size of their party. Maintaining tracking requires 25 mental stamina per in-game hour. Stealthing characters don't leave tracks.
ARBALEST
*Chain Grapple: You can use the context menu to launch a powerful grappling hook from your bow to climb over difficult terrain. This lets you ascend most cliffs, and optionally allows you to leave the chain there for two in-game hours afterwards for anyone else to climb. This requires 30 physical stamina.
( We are power creeping Jump. By 'most cliffs', I mean any cliff that is accessible in normal gameplay through alternate routes. For Arb specifically, I don't want them to access normally inaccessable tiles to prevent people getting trapped. I have no idea how feasible this is, programming wise, but I am dreaming here. )
MAGIC GUNNER
Treasure Hunter: You have an eye for danger and a nose for treasure. When entering a dungeon room or floor, you are immediately notified how many unopened treasure chests are currently on it. When you open a treasure chest, you gain 20% increased rewards. On Korvara, you have a chance to find Korvara treasure maps in treasure chests. Lucky you!
RANGER
*Secret Underpaths: You can interact with a few select spots near forests in order to quickly travel between them.
( New special map spots, similar to Jump points. For Korvara, I'm thinking places like the treeline north of Telegrad letting out somewhere near the Meiaquar beach, or a huge number of dense forest spots in and around Duyuei leading between one another. )
*Forest Walk: While standing next to or on top of plants in the overworld, you can use the context menu to teleport next to or on top of other plants within 15 tiles. This requires 10 mental stamina.
( This is the first talent that actually does let people access normally inaccessable spots, which I think is okay as long as they have a reliable way to untrap themselves. )
Studious Tracker: Nothing gets past a proper hunter. You may activate tracking through the context menu. While active, moving players leave behind tracks for one in-game hour that only you can see. Mousing over them will tell you the party leader's alias, and the size of their party. Maintaining tracking requires 25 mental stamina per in-game hour. Stealthing characters don't leave tracks.

BARD
Musical Maestro: You are a proper musician. Your Performance and Plant Song talents are twice as powerful.
DARK BARD
Musical Menace: You are an improper musician. Your Performance talent is so loud that it paradoxically undoes ear injuries to listeners, because that's something that just goes full circle apparently.
PERFORMER and DANCER
Stardom: You are an expert at drawing a crowd, and your performances are refreshing to witness. Your Performance talent has a 50% increased range, and restores 3% of the target's maximum FP per tick.

CURATE
The Doctor is in: You are able to magically treat patients through the Health panel, and view the Health panel of non-party members through the Context menu. Magically treating a patient takes 30 mental stamina, and accelerates all of their injury's recovery by a flat 50%, while also restoring 20% of the target's maximum HP.
Merciful Prayer: You can pray through the context menu. Doing so takes some time, which can be accelerated by RP. Upon completion of the prayer, you will gain roleplaying experience based on your curate level, and restore 30% of your max FP. Praying this way requires 50 mental stamina.
AQUAMANCER
*Seagliding: By using the context menu, you are able to enter a state that lets you magically traverse water tiles and waterfalls in the overworld, and do so at 50% greater movement speed than walking. This state requires 20 mental stamina per in-game hour to maintain, and cannot be done while in a party.
LANTERN BEARER
Torchlight: You are able to brighten your lantern from the context menu, which functions like a torch, but has a 100% larger radius. Those inside the radius recover from injuries 30% more quickly, and restore 1 HP every second. This takes 20 mental stamina to activate and per in-game hour.
PRIEST
Court of Oaths: Avatars of your faith are prepared to defend you. You can summon Shine Knights in the overworld through the context menu (It takes some time, which can be accelerated by RP.) They can be summoned in static or patrol mode. In static mode, they are controlled by you for RP purposes. In Patrol Mode, they follow you around, and auto battle monsters around you, gaining you 10% of the rewards you would get from defeating the monster yourself. Your Priest level determines how many levels worth of monsters they can defeat before disappearing. This requires 50 mental stamina, and can be done only once every 12 in-game hours.
Saintly Surgeon: You are a healer with few peers, the beneficial effects of The Doctor is in talent are doubled for you.
DRUID
Wild Shape: You can transform into one of four animal forms through the context menu, each with different effects. Remaining transformed requires 20 mental stamina per in-game hour.
*Hawk: You can use the context menu while transformed to quick port to a tile within 10 range for 20 physical stamina. Or, to fast travel to a nation capital for 90 physical stamina. You cannot fast travel this way with party members, unless they are also hawks.
(Quick Port: Several classes can do it, it's a teleport in the overworld that puts you on another tile. Even unwalkable tiles like rooftops. You cannot quick port if you are in a party. )
*Wolf: You move 50% more quickly than normal walking.
Viper: You gain stealth, monsters and other players cannot see or examine you unless they are within three tiles, but you move 50% more slowly than normal walking.
Bear: You become very fluffy. Also, monsters are intimidated by you, and will not willingly approach unless they are at least 15 levels higher.
Garden of Life: You can plant Sweet Apple Vines and Sweet Strawberry Bushes through the context menu. This takes a short amount of time, which can be sped up through RP. The plants remain there for 24 in-game hours, and any player can interact with one to regain 25% of their maximum FP or HP, respectively, which consumes the plant. It requires 15 mental stamina to plant a magic fruit this way.
*Secret Underpaths: You can interact with a few select spots near forests in order to quickly travel between them. (Identical to Ranger)
Merciful Prayer: You can pray through the context menu. Doing so takes some time, which can be accelerated by RP. Upon completion of the prayer, you will gain roleplaying experience based on your curate level, and restore 30% of your max FP. Praying this way requires 50 mental stamina.

This complex ritual takes some time, but can be expediated with RP. Once conjured, the portal will remain for 2 in-game hours, and any player can use it while it is present.
HEXER
Spirit Tuning: The spirits of the dead respond to your magic, and with enough practice you can slightly modify their nature. You can target yourself or another player possessed by a spirit by using the context menu (Other players must accept your tuning attempt). You may then change the skill or creature type affected by a white or black-paging spirit possessing the target, but only from the skills known by the target from the same class as the spirit's inital skill in the case of white-paging spirits. This requires 60 mental stamina, and is complex process that takes some time, but can be expediated with RP.
RUNE MAGICIAN
Ritual Rune: By using the context menu, you may inscribe a ritual rune on the ground that lasts for 4 in-game hours. Players who stand in the center of the ritual rune have their mental stamina expenditure from all sources reduced by 50%. This process requires 20 mental stamina, and takes a short time, which may be expediated by RP.

Deploying the medibot requires 50 mental stamina, and the amount of HP they can heal in total before breaking down is determined by your Engineer level.
SPELLTHIEF
*Wraithfoot: You're so sneaky you may as well be invisible. You no longer suffer movement speed penalties while in Stealth, and the range required to see you is reduced by 1.
Illusionist: It's just a trick of the light. You may spawn illusory copies of yourself within 10 range through the context menu for 10 mental stamina. To players, these illusions look just like you, and can even be examined, but become hazy and clearly fake if they are within 1 tile. Monsters will attack these illusions as if they were you. If they attack an illusion, they will become confused and turn around for several seconds.

*Supreme Athlete: It's all cardio, baby! Your maximum physical stamina increases by 20, and you may enter a jogging state through the context menu. While jogging, you move 25% faster than normal walking at the cost of 1 physical stamina from each party member for every 10 steps. You and your unfortunate party members gain a small amount of roleplaying experience based on their character levels and the amount of tiles traveled once you mercifully stop, or one of them faceplants from running out of physical stamina.
BLACK KNIGHT/TACTICIAN
Eye for Detail: Very few things escape your cunning gaze, further incrementing the range at which you see through Stealth effects by 2 tiles. Furthermore, the effects of Illusionist and Guerilla don't work on you at all.
DEMON HUNTER
*This Party's getting Crazy!: Let's turn up the heat already! While in a dungeon, you can use the context menu to perform a stylish taunt so ostentatious that it causes the three closest wandering enemies to immediately aggro onto you, combining all three of the encounters into a single Crazy encounter, which yields the sum of all three encounter rewards +10%. This requires 30 mental stamina.

A Youkai loses a certain amount of HP after an auto battle, depending on the difference in level between itself and the enemy.
BONDER
All for One: You share a deep bond with your Youkai, to the point you can feel some of what they feel, and learn some of what they learn. You instead gain 50% of the rewards you would get from defeating monsters when your youkai defeat them through Empty Mirror.
GRAND SUMMONER
Taskmaster: You've got no time to bleed and an army to train. Youkai now earn 100% of the battle's exp value when they autobattle a monster through Empty Mirror. This effect extends to any other summoners in your party.
SHAPESHIFTER
Perfect Self: Adaptation is Evolution. You shapeshift into one of your own youkai through the context menu, optionally taking on their appearance. Certain youkai races will also give you new passive or context menu abilities. Shapeshifting this way requires 10 mental and physical stamina per in-game hour, with the cost increasing by 10 for every additional hour you remain shapeshifted.
*Avian/Dragon: You can fly short distances, enabling you to quick port via the context menu to tiles within 10 range. This requires 1% of your maximum HP.
*Beast: You move 50% more quickly than normal walking.
*Fairy/Plant: You may Forest Walk through the context menu, as per the Ranger talent. This requires 1% of your maximum HP.
*Night: You gain Stealth, meaning monsters and other players cannot see or examine you unless they are within three tiles, but you move 50% more slowly than normal walking. If it is currently nighttime, you move at full speed instead.

I managed to write something for a ton more classes than I thought I would, with only Duelist and Solblader still missing. I'd love to hear other ideas in the thread.
