Could theoretically drop down to 1x shield use... could 1x CM, but perhaps he wants that up for the maneuvers.
Could drop 2 ranks each swim/climb, more than he needs for where he can hunt right now. Though if he wants to do the Temple, the swim will have to go up as he nears that goal.
~ The Beguiler ~
...Here is Belladonna, The Lady of the Rocks, The lady of situations.
Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,
And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,
Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,
Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find
The Hanged Man. Fear death by water...
... T.S. Eliot "The Waste Land"
