[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9740691, member: 6790260"] You said nobody could learn certain kinds of skills. Hence, there [I]could not be[/I] schools, because...people don't learn them. Are you now saying there [I]are[/I] schools Fighters can attend to become (say) sword-saints, where they can learn Aura Cutter or whatever once they've refined their skills enough so that (again, [I]at high level[/I]) they can strike someone, with a sword, without throwing it, from 20 feet away, or the like? Because that, as I understood it, was the issue. You claimed they couldn't learn such things, and the conversation turned to one side having completely undescribed training while the other didn't. Not "instead". [I]In addition[/I]. This is a common error regarding 4e. Fighters were the Defender who was [I]best[/I] at personally doing damage. Pretty much bar none. You had to really, [I]really[/I] work for any other Defender to reach what just a reasonably well-built, well-played basic Fighter could do. Also, Rogues were....also that? Like...sneak attack has been a thing for Rogues for a long time, so...they've kinda had that "we do big damage" thing for a fair amount of time. But Rogues were specifically the type of Striker--what in a monster would be called a "lurker"--that does, in fact, sneak around, and do a bunch of skill-y things. Rogues get more baseline skills than any other class. Bards get the same number of "pick what skills you want", but Rogues get two baked-in skills, while Bards only get one. Utility powers take care of the rest. [/QUOTE]
