[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7927540, member: 6801228"] I see so the Sorcerer's magic, metamagic, sorcery points, and first bloodline ability are learned? And if the sorcerer's abilities aren't learned, is it not reasonable that other abilities might not be learned? After all a warlock and cleric are granted powers as well, are they not? Rage is a learned ability? But, you will likely call those exceptions while the example of cunning action isn't an exception, because of reasons you will likely try and make abundantly obscure. But your character doesn't have the same background as mine, the training, the reason for his hesitance and the core of his identity in the fiction we have created, which sets up the fiction for him to actually be more highly skilled than he would present himself as. My fluff seems "poorly written" only in the fact that I did not feel like posting the entire backstory and concept to be eviscerated as breaking something or other that you have deemed important. After all, it isn't even a bit of fluff that the rest of the party is likely aware of. I didn't tell them this after all, because no one asked me "why do you suddenly have cunning action as a level 2 Rogue?" but [B]I[/B] wanted an explanation that made sense for my character, so I created one. And, if the implied mechanics are that anyone can learn any class ability from level 1 to 4, then why can't an 10th level wizard decide to learn cunning action? Seems your fluff also has implied mechanics which will not be present [/QUOTE]
