The reason I don't like Wildcards is they tend to do strange things with a few skills... like "and any use of Acrobatics, Climbing, Jumping, or Stealth in combat" instead of just giving Swashbuckler! Acrobatics, Climbing, Jumping, and Stealth in general in the Wildcard.

This leads to the Character having those skills separately (or in another Wildcard) and thus having differing levels of them for different tasks leading to confusion during play.

Also Widlcards like Detective! that have "etc" at the end. That makes me twitch so hard.
