#651, "Making helps more friendly."

Right now it's impossible to say what this skill/spell/legacy success is based on.
For example:
Every warrior learns the value of being the first to strike in a battle, but few ever master the perpetual state of readiness necessary to thwart their foes' ability to catch them off guard. The stances and grips of those who comprehend the ancient legacy of One With Shadows were designed to let a warrior react at a moment's notice, and were only truly mastered by those who were as clever as they were strong. Through a series of compact ripostes and vicious counters, the warriors who make alertness their unconscious state of mind become adept at foiling surprise attacks of various kinds.
Can you understand that success of this legacy is wis based after reading this help? I'd like to see something like: Not suggested to learn for people who have wis less than 20 - in the end of the help.
Another example:
It was said that the eldest and most respected on the warrior-monks of Macalla lost many honorable duels in his life, but never lost one rematch. His eye for detail was passed on to only choice students, and the technique he developed became known as Striking the Shadow's Footfall. This name was chosen because he could predict an opponent's movements so well, he even knew where their shadow would next stand. Though he fought as any other early in a duel, as he sparred with a foe, he eventually learned all their flaws, and before his foe knew how it happened, they were on the ground, his favored staff tapping them lightly on the skull as a signal of his victory.
Can you understand that success of this legacy is int + wis based after reading this help? I'd like to see something like: Not suggested to learn for anybody but elves and gnomes - in the end of the help.

I disagree.

The bolded section points that out for me...and no, I didn't write the helpfile or the skill.
>I'd like to see something like: Not suggested to learn for >people who have wis less than 20 - in the end of the help.
I don't see this happening, since many of these have sliding scales of success, and I really don't know where you'd draw the line for what is "successful".

Again, the bolded part paints a picture that it's based similarly to learning. And it is still useful to people besides elves and gnomes. We're not going to paint you a power-game picture in the help files.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
