Hi,
can you give me a hint, how to create a own Class for RMSS? Is there some kind of pool or something?
-
All I have ever done is compare the New profession to similar professions and make fit to best idea for the profession.
I have heard there is a tool, but I have never even hunted for such. I do the above.

There aren't official rules for it, but a couple people have put together frameworks. It still requires starting with a clear concept, and in my opinion should be done by a GM and not by a player, otherwise there are things you can do that make no sense but provide big advantages.
There was one by Tim Dugger ("Irregular Realms") which is in the Vault: www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item194 (http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item194)
My own framework can be found here: http://www.madreporite.com/rpg/rm.htm (http://www.madreporite.com/rpg/rm.htm) or direct link to the Excel sheet http://www.madreporite.com/rpg/profdesign.zip (http://www.madreporite.com/rpg/profdesign.zip) There is an instructions page within the Excel file.

In my opinion, there are few new professions that can't be largely based off an existing one with minor changes. A few specific skill group cost tweaks, different Everyman, Occupational, and Restricted skills, different Profession Bonuses and possibly different Base Spell Lists is all that differentiate a lot of the existing professions.
What kind of profession are you trying to create?

Sorry for that late answer. I am about to create some kind of tech-related Charakter for constructing Warmachines. Like the Engineer in Team Fortress. Only for Medival.

Definitely a layman to start with if it's a non-spell user. I don't know as if you'd really need to tweak much (although I don't know the game you're referring to).
For a caster I'd take a look at the Construct Companion, start with a pure spell user and swap out the base spell lists (also remember a Pure Caster gets 4 lists to choose from open/closed).

Look at spell list from Delver (RMCI), Dabbler(RMSS?FRP) and some of the prosaic list in SUC (RM2). One of the better prosaic list allows annealing and fabricating almost anything.
