FWIW, I would imagine that raw experience (measured by 10 + relative skill) would be pivotal in a master's decision to teach a would-be disciple the Seven Secret Kicks or the Hand of Death. And I suspect that once we get a mass-combat system, IQ-based combat skill rolls will stand in for Soldier, Tactics, etc., for such irregular troops as PCs.
