This means, by the way, that you can grapple with DX if you're untrained in a grappling skill, and still be stabby-stabby-man.

For the classic DF Thief type with sky-high DX, if you don't want to be an unarmed combat expert/ninja type, you don't have to be . . . and you can still pull off this stunt.
well, the skill requirements are part of the gimp that I made to allow for deceptive attacks. If you don't need them, and an Assassin who can't be bothered to spend 2 points on Wrestling to get DX+0 there probably isn't fussed with that, then go ahead and remove the requirement.
