Fighter's and concentration

Post by Yemin » Tue May 19, 2015 11:23 am

Why do fighter's have the concentration skill?
Not really doing any harm just sitting there, but the help file for concentration doesn't elaborate on any benefit for fighter's having it
I trained up double-edged bananas because the uber-plantain of doom I scored from the beehive quest was the best weapon in the game. Now it's being treated like a bug and they have gimped its damage! That's not fair! My character is ruined!

Concentration doesn't make sense as a fighter skill to me, either. Warriors have it as well, however, and my guess is that it is inherited from that. Warriors having it does make sense, because some warriors go on to be rangers or paladins.

I guess it boils down to whether it should be removed from the fighters guild list (I think yes) and whether that is possible, or all warrior skills (the parent class for the guild) automatically carry over.

Thanks for reporting this, Yemin; sorry that I don't think I have a fix (I can not edit guild files).

It's confirmed that even with concentration scrubbed from the guild skills list for fighters, it still shows up for them; I'm pretty confident they inherit everything from their parent class (warriors) and so there is no way short of hard code to remove it from the fighter list. It doesn't make the bar for that, in my opinion (it doesn't cause any harm), so I'm going to close this report out. (We need to keep concentration in the warrior skill list, for the sake of ranger and paladin aspirants.)
