Considering that physical skills are learned by repetiotion and integration to
muscular memory. While spells are might be learned by "seeing the everflowing
mystical flow of magic and harnessing it" or some other kind of thing, I do
think that there might be a need for a tune to some direction.
For example, well rehearsed actions come almost automatically from physical
memory, so discipline should work only on skills. But also mental operations
become more fluent as they are practiced and used, so they are faster to
complete and less vulnerable to outside disturbance. This could also be
interpreted that spells should get discipline.
For example: If you hit your head and become dazed, it's hard to do etiher,
a cartwheel or count 4^3. Neither is impossible impossible, but the cartwheel
is easier due to the fact that your muscular memory isn't dazed.
What I'm mostly trying to say, is cut down the effect of discipline while
casting a spell and let it work full power while doing a skill. That would
make sense to me.

Even more sense would be to have two separate skills. Discipline for physcial
ones and Concentartion for mental ones.

two skills could be the key. like you\'d get mastery of discipline when you get
spanked, no training or nothing, just by getting hit. and ofcourse when you get
the mastery to 100, you\'d be able to use REHTORI rank

Evidently I did not make this as clear as I tried. You do not want to see this
option. It will have the same game effect and cost more experience.

Will this option also enable concentartion training for casters?
If thats the case, pure (tm) casters have nothing to loose, one critical skill
to gain.
If i uber multi skilled player wants to be able to cast spells and also swing
sword wihout interuptions, shouldn\'t he also be trained in both?

Like earlier mentioned, making a round-kick while your head is buzzing like bee
nest or singing \"ave hoosianna\" needs compleatly different focus and skill.

The absence of the skill concentration and the need that casters dont have to
train it is abusrd in the first place.
Yes yes, i have no idea how magic works but i damn well know that if any of you
is asked to read outloud days newspaper and sudenly live naked jessica alba
(ladys can change the name to ..something nice) walks over to you asking to
share the paper, your out loud reading would get some wavering. Not to mention
if igrab a flame thrower and torch you to near death. Asbest suit or no asbest
suit, wihout nerves of steel that New York finance readings would encounter
noticable intreuptions.
Its quite safe to presume that any magic casting would be harder than simply
reading out thus when that Puff the Fire dragon torches our nice backrow mage
down for 90% HPs, either he has got remarkable concetration training as a
novice or game is lacking one aspect/skill.

A :-D hits you.
