Theres the rub...

Eureka!  That must be what Richard must've though.  That The Course 
for dagger gives you both as Fight.  But the connation implies 
throwing dagger isa new skill.  But now that you word it that way it 
makes sense. You fight WITH a throwing dagger but ot throw it.
That makes more sense then the way its done now.  As the new player 
read it Different.  I always bought it as 2 separate skills myself.
But that's more clear the way you phrase it.
Maybe i should add a * in case new players need copy of those rules...

Yep.  I like how you word it.another
I can explain it that way if he is still confused.
I was never at this level 'new' at this point since '83 so my 
experience was like of course its 2 skills...but I like how you 
explain it.  I will append that sectio in case another new player 
needs help and i send them my file.

Great job!
