1) This would largely duplicate the paladin two-hander dedication, which we have stated elsewhere we are not interested in doing. (Ditto for warriors specializing in a shield.)

2) The second idea also came up on this forum about a month back. The problem with it is OOC collusion, which makes it hard to make the ability very good without making it something we have to police.

Another problem is that knowing how to do something well isn't the same as knowing how to teach it well. The easiest example of this is professional athletics- a lot of the best coaches never came close to playing professionally. Some did, and they have ranged from the best to the worst. (Magic Johnson, anyone?)
