Aldana, taken overall, is probably the best swordsman school. However, it gets a lot of flack for that Apprentice ability. Thus, it is going to be changed to: Apprentice: Students of Aldana are very adept at spotting the right moment in which to attack. You may roll one unkept Action die during initiative for every Mastery level you have in Aldana (Apprentice = 1, Journeyman = 2, Master = 3). > Finally, had a great game Friday night.
