You want a sage, make a sage. Your emphasis is on knowledge and its ability to solve problems, great. You can achieve that with OR without siloing.Not excited about the combat aspects, then play it non-combatively. Find ways to get around fights rather than picking them.I remember having this discussion with a contemporary at the closing of our 4e campaign. The general feeling was that we needed far far FAR less emphasis on combat, yet in all that time we played, players never did. Sure, they COULD have taken non-combat feats, but none of them did. I dont hold them "wrong" for doing that, I dont think the campaign was inflexibly forcing combat scenario's...the guys just liked a good fight and liked to be good at it. But there was always those times when fighting it out was an inferior option.At those times I would have liked that they had something a bit more robust than a weak list of skill shoved into the bottom corner of 1 page of a 5 page character sheet. That they just had more RP-meat to them WITHOUT requiring them to give up on what they want to do with there characters.I WILL NOT tell my players to stop being combative in order that they can find ways to resolve things without fighting. Fact is I find that characters with high degree of flexibility to be far better suited to Tabletop RPG's to one that is single pillar application.So, as imperfect as siloing is, I find it to be an imperfect solution to an imperfect problem.</blockquote>
