[PvK]

I think the mis-matched heroic abilities are good. It is interesting, creates characters with unique combinations of abilities, and means that the hall of fame is not guaranteed to create someone super-good in their usual role. That's all good in my book.

Heroic attack skill on a spellcaster? That's interesting, and not useless. Some spells require the caster to touch the target, and casters do get into hand-to-hand combat (a high-risk cause of death). One of my more memorable and interesting characters is Henrik the priest who won the arena deathmatch championship, and now is a magic-trident-wielding melee machine who happens to be a priest.
