Message: <blockquote data-quote="John Wick" data-source="post: 415231" data-attributes="member: 6987">I'm playing in a weekly round-robin Saturday game. That is, every week it's a different GM and a different game. One of our re-occuring games is a d20 Wheel of Time game. While Mr. Jordon's opus doesn't exactly ring my bell, I'm having a dandy ol' time with our most excellent GM. But there's a problem, see. I'm playing a noble character (I've already been told I should switch our for the Star Wars Noble who is vastly superior in all ways, shapes and means). At the end of the last game session, the GM asked, "Does anybody want to do anything before we quit?" Well, yes I did. My noble character - a noblewoman, by the way - donned her slumming clothes, went down to the bad part of town and walked up to the table of one of the most notorious swordsmen in the world. She threw down a fencing sword and said, "Teach me." Here's the problem. As far as I can see (and I may have missed something; that's the point of all this), in the scope of the d20 system, there's no way for me to pick up a "Fencing Skill." I have to pick up a whole level of Armsman or Fighter or something like that. But I don't want that. I want to learn how to fight with a sword. I don't want the armor skills and Feats or how to fight with a polearm or axe or anything like that. Just swordsman. Am I missing something with the d20 system? Is there any way for me to do this without going off my "noble track?" Anybody help me? Anybody at all? Thanks in advance, John---The Wick is Dead!John's doing just fine.</blockquote>
