So, I was going through my Pathfinder basic book and the way they handle the whole magic classes using weapons thing and they do it pretty well in my opinion. Aside from the cleric, which for some reason is actually super good at fighting (I guess because most of their offensive spells are statuses or only work on undead enemies) most magic classes start out with something only slightly srtronger than punches, like clubs or kitchen knives, and have to learn to use actual weapons. You see, the way they do weapon profeciency is that they have kind of a weapon rank system, but for all weapons, so combat based classes get to use better weapons much earlier and therefore can spend their "level up points" on other, more interesting abilities. So you could be a badass sorcerer with a massive sword but can only cast arcane missiles once per day, a mage that can freeze an entire army by sneezing but deals a litlle over 1% of the opponents health with each stab of their knife, or anywhere in between. So I was thinking that maybe I could have some sortof "training point" system which you could spend in leveling up your stats, your weapon ranks or learning new spells. If skills will fit into that (or if they even work the same as in FE) I'll have to decide later. What do you people think?
