Acrobatics and combat

[Arman]

Before this change, we wouldn't, for example, have cases of skill redundancy in combat too easily. Now, using Kender/Pirate as an example, one can more easily pay double combat aid for overlapping acrobatics. Is that something that is taken into consideration in some way?

Besides troubling thoughts, I love making more skills relevant

Skills aren't counted in combat aid cap for specials, if that is what you mean.

I think there has always been skill overlap with racial and layman guilds. For example a Rockfriend racial has x skill in club and axe, which is redundant to a Neidar.

I like how some people in this thread are talking about how monks can move on, but monks do not currently have acrobat skill. Zero levels. So being able to move on from shields is not an option.

The monks would love to loose shields and get acrobatics though. Feel free to update us.

Or remove herbalism and give us that many levels of acrobatics. Also a great option!

may i add that i believe that monk's herbalism (stemming from that of the kahedans) is a key part of them
