Only specifically rejected UA lore did!Would it be better if they did? Yes. But you're doing tea-leafing reading and stating it as hard fact. No good.That's not "special training" in any reasonable sense.That's a class ability for a class which gains its powers through unlocking its innate capabilities! Further it's not "quietly". It's 100% completely silently. On top of that, it's magic which requires special magic points!Yeah this is the issue.D&D would be, imho, much, much better if it had a specific, defined cosmology and way magic worked and so on (the closest it's come being probably 1E and 4E). But it doesn't have that, and if it did, a lot of people would either say "This ain't D&D!" or "This isn't MY D&D!". So we get this clumsy bumbling aspect of D&D where it has to be all things to all men and thus avoid being "overspecific", despite insanely specific and weird stuff like spell slots!</blockquote>
