Mundanes regularly get mundane capabilities that match, or even exceed, those of casters.  Heck some racial bonuses include resistance to magical capabilities.  Hell the thief gets use magic device which makes him more capable of using magic items than any caster or any character.  It allows the thief to use scrolls like all spells are in his spell list and allows him to get the full effects of a holy avenger.</p></blockquote><p></p>
