I understand that vocals were always a bit easy to train but completely taking them out as both a training tool AND in conversion ranks? You guys made it available for use, it's not like we were exploiting a bug or something.
There was literally no reason to train them whatsoever. 400 ranks later of humming stupid ballads, wedding marches and waltzes abashedly on super-mean death-toon and there's no payoff? Cutting it down to 1/4th would have been fine even. Did they just disappear into the exp pool?
And brawling being used in tactics conversion? A case could be made for any weapon counting (say your highest?) towards tactics. Brawling seems pretty arbitrary. I never found it to be a worthwhile skill to train (always been pretty buggy) and what it could teach you about tactics that trying to bow hunt at melee or parrying with a light edge couldn't I can't imagine. Any idiot can throw up their arm to stop a sword strike (parry sticks) defensive wounds are always found on a victim's forearms. Try parrying a broadsword with a kitchen knife though or dodging it altogether. That's a universal skill that ostensibly requires quite a bit of tactical knowledge (evasion).
Scholarship I sort of get just as the 'brain part' though what reading a bunch of race charts has to do with your ability to make quick decisions in combat I fail to see other than limbering up the old grey matter and again, Intelligence is a universal that could have been used here as well.
I realize I'm late to the punch here on an opinion about it but there it is all the same. I really hate circle/bob/weave.
Avrii says, "I'll train while youre not on and other than that you'll never see me."
You say, "Maybe y'should start wif that."
