So all you get is their Armor class? That makes it pointless. If I'm a practitioner of the Shadow school, and I start learning from the mountain school, I'm going to want to learn Iron Fist. If I can never learn any of the techniques, then I'm not really studying that school, am I? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f635.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="O.o" title="Er... what?    O.o"  data-smilie="12"data-shortname="O.o" />The Max rank reduced by one (my alternative idea), would mean that you could never reach grandmaster, but you would be able to take abilities from either school up to master. (and reach master in both, at the time you would normally reach grandmaster).And restarting at rank 1 again (instead of just repeating a rank) kills you unless you take it early in the game. Thats why when they revised feats that do things like add to your hit dice, the changes are now retroactive. It shouldnt matter WHICH level you take things at, or which order you took them in, if two people take the same things then one shouldnt be penalized for not planning out levels 1-20 before the game started. that sort of penalty just encourages munchkining, and discourages character development. With your Idea of going ALL the way back to the beginning, if I'm any rank higher than the lowest then learning from a new school is pointless.Also, Initiate sounds like the lowest rank and Acolyte sounds higher. It's kindof confusing. O.OI dunno.RSVP~Darkholme</blockquote>
