[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 675580, member: 4720"] For someone who actually wants to do so, yes. But I don't see zyzzyr suddenly throwing a level of fighter into this character. I don't suppose you'd consider trading a combination of weapon and armor proficiencies that this character would NEVER use for scribe scroll, which perfectly fits the character? After all, his background is that of a scholar who "dislikes combat" and "would instead focus his skills and powers on helping others become more powerful." Is a person who is trying to build a character with a series of the least powerful and combat-effective abilities the type to suddenly make a hard shift into powergamer? And the exact same mechanic is used for Loremasters. AND it's a perfect simulation of how real world scholars remember information. I make a roll, modified by my years in the field (a.k.a. my class level). If it's successful, I remember the fact. If I'm in my office, I get to re-roll to see if I can remember where I put the paper or book that had the fact in question. Having Endnote on your computer gives you a +20 on the 2nd roll, provided you pass your Computer Use check, which, of course, is modified heavily by environmental factors ranging from server maintenance to ambient solar radiation. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
