[Hirosame]

Subclass Change
Cost: 100 Gold
Previous Subclass: Mechanic
Previous Subclass AP: 500 (MAX)
New Subclass: Woodcrafter
New Subclass AP: 0
Skill Additions: [b]Timber[/b]: Toggle skill. Woodcrafters naturally have an affinity for chopping and carving wood, making their abilities key in harming monsters that happen to be arboreal in nature. Woodcrafters deal 20% more damage to Plant-type monsters. They can also cancel buffs on Plant-type monsters upon a successful hit.

Main Class Skill Change
Cost: 50 Gold
Skill to Remove: Equipment Mastery: Swords
Skill to Add: [b]Weaponmaster[/b]: Tier II Skill
A skill for one who has dedicated a fair amount of time and effort into using a variety of weapons and armor in combat. This skill may be used once during a thread at any time; the user may then choose up to five "Equipment Mastery" skills and learn them for the duration of the thread. If the user chooses skills in which they are already proficient in its respective equipment, nothing happens.

Main Class Skill Change
Cost: 50 Gold
Skill to Remove: Equipment Mastery: Ranged
Skill to Add: [b]Herculean Grip[/b]: Tier II Skill
Toggle skill. A technique representing the feat of amassing great physical strength to easily wield heavy weapons in one hand. Besides the possibility to greatly slow a user down, the balance required to use such weapons properly makes the combat style difficult to learn and difficult to master. The character is now able to wield a two-handed weapon as though it were a one-handed weapon. The character cannot dual-wield while under the effects of this skill. At Level 60, the user may now dual-wield as long as the other weapon wielded is a one-handed weapon or shield, at a 25% attack speed penalty. This penalty is reduced to 10% at level 90. Additionally, at Level 90, the character can dual-wield two-handed weapons, at a 25% attack speed penalty.

Skills to be changed were subject to the Free 2 Extra Skills I received, thanks to the Starting Skill Changes.

Total cost: 200 Gold from Hirosame

I would like to have the two skills still added. I'd like to include two Tier I skills, to shift with the two extra Level 1 Skills. Ambidexterity, and Quick Swap.

[b]Ambidexterity[/b]: Tier I Skill
The mechanics of Elder Tale lightly discourage dual-wielding due to the reduced accuracy and proficiency with such a combat style. However, it remains a quite popular strategy among those who willingly sacrifice stability and defense for a little boost in DPS. It is such that Swashbucklers are primarily the class type that specializes in dual-wielding and thus has the most compatible skills for this purpose. The Ambidexterity skill passively lifts the dual-wielding penalty from equipping two one-handed weapons or two shields. This skill does nothing for a Swashbuckler, since they already possess a beginner skill which does the same purpose.

[b]Quick Swap[/b]: Tier I Skill
A skill that facilitates the quick switching of equipment from the user's equipment to their inventory. While many characters use quick slots in order to swap out their weapons, this requires a manual action. The use of Quick Swap does this exchange automatically. This switching can only be done with two equipment sets at a time, both of which are registered prior to the start of battle. When Quick Swap is used, the current equipment set will be swapped out to the other set designated by the skill. Due to the nature of this skill, it is best used by characters of the Weapon Specialist classes. This skill has an animation time of 1 second. Its cooldown if used by a Weapon Specialist class is 10 seconds which increases to 20 seconds if used by any other class.
