Fighters are melee specialists, rogues can focus on ranged attacks and assassination.

Are fighters prohibited from taking ranged weapon skills?

Also is there a chance you could explain a bit about assassination?

Are characters prohibited from taking "class skills" from each other? (i.e. only mages with spellcraft)

You can see first 3 perks of assassination there

I think Rouge's are supposed to be ranged attackers, preemptive strike backstabbers and consistent damage dealers against evasive enemies a low Dex fighter would miss.

Ranged Weapons and Missile Weapons are rogue class skills, so only the rogue can specialize in them. Fighters can still use ranged/missile weapons but they can't get as good with them as rogues.

Assassination skill is essentially rogue's "melee skill". There is a post explaining the details of the skills somewhere on this forum...

Yes, generally the skills are class specific.

And what about the spears? Can your character get specialized with some specific skill?
