OK.

Alexis, with regard to "crosstraining:" I'd forgotten your character generator had a setting that sometimes allowed cross-training of sage skills. At time of writing I was suggesting a method of active sage skill selection, but the rare generator output is a better way. Your point.

As far as "close to the chest," I apologize for that. I do remember you using that phrase to me regarding sage skills at an earlier date, about the Fighter and others, but I could obviously have thought harder about it; furthermore, some Google searches restricted to your site don't turn up the phrase in that context. So perhaps I was mistaken.

I do understand the leadership ability of religious figures, thank you: but I didn't give the class-neutral descriptions enough thought. Understood.

Finally, Standard Bearer. I understand your perspective on that better now. I think adding a line or two of your response to me to the wiki entry for Standard Bearer would be a good decision. It could give players an idea of how characters with the ability might act. Obviously it's not some kind of straitjacket, but players searching for inspiration when playing might look to such things. What do you think?
