What if hand to hand is within acrobatics/athletics? Kinda makes sense to me...

I highly doubt dual weilding will be a skill unto itself. It just doesn't make sense with Todd's comments and the direction they are going with streamlining things and reducing redundancies.

Why would they remove the magical school of mysticism for this exact reason (redundancy) and then go and implement a new redundant feature that is redundantly redundant?

Objection!

Just cause you're in shape by no means you know how to punch. Believe me, I'm a soccer player. I'll run till the cows come home, couldn't throw a decent punch to save my life. I could kick, no dought about that, but I can't punch.

That's like saying we have athletics, so we don't need the longsword skill. Its just a pointy stick anyway, anyone can swing it around if they're in shape, right? :confused:
