I can see why you're saying that now. I should have re-read the post
before my reply. I didn't mean to say manuals and study are useless.
(I come across so intelligent in my own mind!) I meant to say they
should take a back seat. THey're not useless, by any means, but in the
end the active skill is more important, as the game was structured,
and so the knowledge skill should complement the active skill, but not
too much, since you will get people abusing knowledge skills to
supplement active skills they couldn't afford.
