This is just a draft, throwing together some ideas. I will flesh it out over time and make a real tutorial out of it...

The "Add a new class" tutorial was good to start with but to basic for my taste so I have to create my own tutorial to cover all the aspects of a custom class I need.

The Basics

Follow the "Add A New Class" tutorial. After that tutorial you have a new class by name only. You will still have the vanilla abilities, for magic users those are the four "schools"(Creation, Primal, Entropy, Spirit) and for non-magicians there are two-weapon fighting and archery.

Create new abilities

There is a tutorial for that out there.

Putting it together

If the new abilities are designed they are put into the AL*your classname*.xls and processed to get the gda. That gda is put into the ...\module\override\ folder and hopefully the game recognises it and you can use your abilites.
