Ok, first a disclaimer: I have not decided this is my plan of attack, so fear not all you rogue purists
Just a question about an idea that was dancing through my head.
If I were to request a multiclass to fighter [which was not originally in submission] for Gilli at a later date, I was thinking that an appropriate way to roleplay that would be to ask a fighter type character to train him in a more combat oriented way with his blade. This would of course take place for a significant amount of time prior to the re-submission. Now, assuming that was acceptable in the re-submission, would the tutor need to be of the fighter class, or would someone of the cleric or paladin class be a suitable teacher as well? Technically they would know their way around a sword, but since it's not the class being sought I wasn't sure. And second, since Gilli will likely never use anything larger than a shortsword, would that character [regardless of class] need to have extensive experience with the shortsword? I wouldn't expect a cleric who strictly uses a mace to be the right choice, but I would assume the rapier or longsword would be similar enough for the purpose of teaching the skills.
