You could trade your NCR with another player inbetween games. Even an illiterate barbarian could be the mentor in the right circumstances. For instance when the party visists the wild tribes of the icy north. Casual players might enjoy not having a role at all.There is a problem with fewer or more players than X but this could be addressed in a number of ways. Maybe the cake is divided differently depending on the number of players.I don't think NCRs should supplant Class. But indeed NCRs would steal skills away from the classes. Classes still have the pretty picture attached.Some skills such as ability to play a musical instrument or speak in a foreign language would still be tied to the class, race or character. However, A skill like Knowledge is something anyone could have. Look at any modern TV-show and notice how any character can know just about anything. It's quickly handwaved with a short anecdote hinting of the character's past. "How did you know that?""I used to be a metal head, you didn't know that did you?"Still, maybe just some skills are tied to NCR. I don't know. Food for thought.</blockquote>
