When I asked for example temples where my character could've learnt and lived, I asked for close-combat/martial art oriented examples, and thus this list contains NO archery temples although there are several. If there are skills You want to know more about and don't want to make up, ask. But ask specifically.. I don't have the slightest idea of what skills are in the Rulebook as I don't own it. I have descriptions of only 98 skills, 15 Warrior Powers, and 16 Spec Weapon skills, although the count rises on slow pace as I get new skill descriptions to add to the list.
