[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8518007, member: 7032025"] But, at equal training or cost, not as well as a specialist who trained specifically for that rather than for fighting monsters in dungeons. Moreover, the adventurer probably wants more than sitting as a bodyguard all day.

It does not preclude some NPCs to do that as well, but is your world with so little variety that everyone has to be equal and that there are only a very few well defined paths to power ?
