I agree on importance, my comment was that it's stronger. Let's say the passive logic value is 3. With the proposed change, the casting archetypes can advance 5 skills at 3 ranks / tier outside of their combat skill. A physical combatant can advance 4 skills at 3 ranks / tier outside of the 2 combat skills needed for melee and ranged combat. The Arcanum skill is also useful out of combat depending on the spells. It's a 2+ skills for 1 trade off. It's stronger.

As I stated, I'd be ok with bringing the advancement in line with the others assuming they're combined. From a consistency standpoint for advancements it fits better.

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul
