#2 — The fact that this class retains bardic knowledge is weird. Why does a savage have bardic knowledge?

The skald description states that "they balance a violent spirit with the veneer of civilization," so they're not as savage as one might think. That may be how bardic knowledge was justified, though I could see if it were tweaked a bit. Skaldic knowledge may be limited in scope or focus on other skills.

I have a small gripe I want to get off my chest. It's the realism aspect of Opportune Parry and Riposte. I'm not really buying into the fact that a parry and riposte takes two attacks of opportunity and two panache points. I practiced sports fencing for three years, and I'm not saying I'm a master or anything, just that I have a bit of familiarity with the subject. The most sullen kid, easily a level 1 Commoner, can parry and riposte with little effort. The mechanics may be sound, but it just seems especially unrealistic to me. Yes, even in a world of sorcery and exotic species, I have issues with "lack of realism". I'm sorry if this is a problem.

Another "durr" question: Are Arcanists allowed to pick up Wizard Discoveries? Thanks.
