Sorry, my post was allowing for the character to change types

Re-spec .... not sure about making a quest thing available, but generally speaking, it's not like having some agility is bad. It still helps, and there can always be the transitioning phase.
However, I am up for you to re-spec still but don't really think there would be a possibility to re-spec

With shield skills .... Let me think on that a bit

I mean, does it apply like sword skills? Therefore a shiny shield? I don't think that was a thing.
Just let us discuss the shield skills a bit more okay?

Also the thing about lances ...
Although we saw them, unsure how they were classified and used
I am unsure if they would be an Extra skill or not, but they did only show up later
It would not JUST require one thing though, Extra skill unlocks seem to be more complex and unknown than simply, get skill to this level or complete this quest
