Dont u think that combat skill requires a buff? i mean, i am playing as a "warrior" and i dont even care about give it trait points, 3 for scoutcraft so u can hide and everyithing else for dark cauldron, bloodlust and survival/wisdom, i know wis is for magic, but overall it work just fine, .4 points for each "combat skill" trait is not worth, and less when there´s not a "special" skill for it, just useful when u re cheating and just tryng to "speedrun". I guess that how combat works still on development, just take it as a suggestion.
