But why does it have to be a B skill?

Because otherwise you really alter the curve. There are already two top Agility skills; adding more makes elf-types very, very powerful.

You say that, but what are you basing that assumption on? Are you suggesting that a mild improvement to a skill like Sure Feet will suddenly made it popular for Elves, over Dodge, Block, Leap, Kick, Side Step, Wrestle, Fend, Frenzy, Dauntless and Tackle?

I think there are 10 A skills.
A lot of B skills.
And a few C skills.

IMO if you start buffing B skills, you might as well buff all of them. And the C skills. Big rewrite.

The sensible thing to do is either nerf the A skills or buff the C skills. Or both.

I'd happily tinker with buffing C skills - for house rule purposes.
Every time you try to push B into the A category, you run the risk of overshooting.

I'm not sure I agree with the rest of it, but this is spot-on.
