Epona, don't take offense, please.
I actually appreciated and enjoyed your response. You offered a solution that actually CONSIDERED the role-playing aspects.

You won't be the best club fighter around with no proficiency, but it's better than being stomped on. Also IMHO this solution preserves your role-playing aspect?
I'm just suggesting that some folks try roleplaying the game, instead of looking at it like Diablo II. (which, I did play, just with a different playing style)
It's like chess. Against a human opponent, phsycology is as important as strategy. Against a computer, brute force and strategy will normally win. Both are fun, and well within the game parameters. I'm just suggesting something that I think will offer some insight.
