Umm doesn’t the edit undercut the main point? We won’t know if the Barbarian has the right data because we automatically excluded him.
Ben Jarvis what I was getting at was the following:
Stabbing drunken incompetent city guard in the back = no Hack and Slash, as not actually melee
Barbarian trying to understand some esoteric magical theory = no Spout Lore, as no actual accumulated knowledge
But that’s the less important bit. The important bit is that there is no mechanical difference in the move between being a novice magician and an ancient master, in the same way that there is no mechanical difference between Hack and Slashing a run of the mill city guard and an elite city guard.
Does that make sense? I altered the language slightly, I intended to focus on the 2nd bit. If you think Barbarians actually have some accumulated knowledge of esoteric magic theory, then the point is moot.
Two words: Oral Traditions!
They rest doesn’t need explanation and totally had my arms raised (metaphorically) and screaming Freebird!!!
Ben Jarvis you are right, I am underselling the rich cultural and intellectual traditions of the Barbarian tribes.
