[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 4946517, member: 3887"] I don't think that's too powerful. Giving PC's unlimited retraining when they level won't break 4e. Better to remove Knowledge: Monsters completely (PC's 'know' rumors whatever firsthand knowledge they've gained from actually facing a particular beastie). It's a bad idea to allow players to spend in-game resources for something you've already decided will have little-to-no in-game benefit. Sounds good. The only caveat I have is that you should try to keep to the spirit of rules, if not the letter. 4e, in general, cares not a lot for corner cases. For instance, 'tripping' an ooze might be plausible, because 'tripping' really means 'imposing a hampering condition', and not neccessarily the literal act (which is why you can trip a sack of carnivorous protoplasm in the first place). Be aware of the places where 4e terms are really more of a convenient shorthand. I'd be wary of this one. Players focused on tactical challenges might eat this up, but I can easily see this bugging players who's primary interests lie elsewhere. Otherwise, the house rules sound find.
