Re: Light Armor Proficiency
Yeah, it's definitely wrong.
Pick Pocket isn't a thing anymore. It clearly means Sleight of Hand.

Re: Light Armor Proficiency
I don't know that there is one. Not one that I've ever seen.
As far as the PHB is concerned, it's basically correct. Those are the only classes that lack any armor proficiency.
And I'm not saying this is a good argument, but it can be argued for the classes outside the PHB that the specific entries in a class description trumps the general rule that the feat lays down.
Otherwise, yeah, it's just one of many dysfunctions.

Re: Light Armor Proficiency
Huh. All characters. So not just members of other classes like Shugenja and Wu Jen and stuff. All characters. Including non-humanoids. Monsters and such. And familiars and animal companions. And goats that you bought for 1 gp each. And the Infested Commmoner's chickens.
Specific beats general, right? What's more specific, the type definition rules that specify what armor proficiency you get from HD alone (e.g., MM1 pg. 306 under Animal Type: "Proficient with no armor unless trained for war.") or the rules for a feat that specify both who has it (everyone) and what benefit this specific feat gives (proficiency with a kind of armor, and I think we can all agree that any character who actually has a feat and meets the prereqs should gain the benefit of said feat—a Wizard who took the feat, for example, would clearly be able to proficiently wear leather armor, even if that's still not a wise move for them)?In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers
