[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7927547, member: 6993955"] Hmm, I think trying to suggest that every class ability is a learned skill is kinda silly. They just aren't all that kind of thing. As for character fluff, it's not supposed to be relateable between characters. Why should it be? It's one player building narrative and fiction for their character.
