That was one reason why they did this (or from what I gathered) being that a mage (insert no warrior type) could pick up a practice axe or weapon they could not use and perfect shield block/parry in no time at all on easy critters. So mages are at a disadvantage when it comes to practicing (at least in terms of physical skills). And honestly, it is fairly easy to get your defensive skills into the 90's. I believe I had a duergar warrior (so not the brightest) get dodge and parry up to 100% before I hit 20. So if you want to feel sad about something feel sad that we warriors no longer have the boxing gloves.
