I decided to make a spreadsheet to visualize the different skill levels one can get for taking various classes in the game. It is located on Google Docs here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoxYdn_z85dwdFA0emV1YTJvaF9HcEpQVXpWZVc4TXc&usp=sharing
Anyone (with the link) can edit the four party members (although you may have to be signed in to Google). If you notice bugs, please reply and I will fix the entries.
The four party member blocks can be edited; enter the class name with one uppercase letter and the rest lowercase. The spreadsheet will determine which skills you have access to and at what level (0 to 4), and color-code the skill access -- red is none, yellow is beginner only, white is expert, green is master, and blue is grandmaster. Then it will list the first class (out of your party list) that can get the highest level in that skill, out of your four selected party members. The list includes both light and dark paths separately. It also breaks it out into early game (the chosen class at character creation), mid-game (after the first character-specific quest), and late game (light & dark separately), after your 2nd character class quest. I'm not sure how those *actually* correspond (ie, I don't know if they are all roughly the same length in game time), since I haven't played through yet, but that was my method to display the different skill levels progressing with time.
A caution: If more than one class can reach the same skill level, only the first class in order of the class list is displayed...you still have to do a bit of the legwork yourself :)
I hope this is helpful to everyone! I know it helped convince me exactly what classes to take for my first play through that I am just now starting, between that and the good advice I got on a similarly-named thread.
