I went with the second option, but as I've said with each discussion...if those skills are incredibly wtf powerful in comparison, then they should stick where they are.

There's this whole 'If you have the weapon skill and they don't you rock them' idea, but I've never had that actually validated.  The wording about it in the helpfile is tricky between whether it means the above, or whether it means your weapon skill is just a contribution to your own defense.  By experience, I've been completely alright defending against another warrior of a different skill I hadn't trained before, with them being at the same approximate skill levels, so...

Yeah.  If they aren't a -huge- advantage, let warriors get them earlier.  If they're an enormous advantage, keep them where they are.
