I always thought it made sense lore-wise. Seems like hybrids would be more difficult to train as. Especially made sense with race penalties for Ogres and Trolls, as they're just less intelligent and would learn more slowly. I liked the idea of an Ogre or Troll SK being a very rare thing to see because of the exp penalty - so if you ever saw one, you'd be like, "damn" for a sec and then continue on to Kelethin to have fun levitating. And it'd make sense that there wouldn't be very many accomplished Trolls or Ogres in game anyway, especially SKs. Just always thought it'd take more dedication from a real character to master the Paladin, SK, or Ranger classes. And it makes the more penalized combos more impressive to see as high level chars.
It's late, sorry for the rambling.
