Is the Perk RNG really as intended?

What I can’t understand at all is when a fighter thrall gets archery perks… while not being able to use a bow. Sure, he got three archery perks, but he’d never let loose a single arrow in his life and will never learn; give him a bow and he’ll be stupidly standing and trying to stare enemies down. Well… at least he knows the theory, I guess.

Fighter thralls can use bows. I just had to point that out because I’m a pedantic cuss

Now that is out of the way, I am rather salty about the perk RNG, because I started leveling my first thrall recently and the RNG screwed me over royally. My thrall’s first perk was Jack of All Trades, which I quite liked. Now, due to the exponential xp requirements, it took me as long to get her from level 10 to level 15, as it did to take her to level 10 from scratch. Guess what perk she got at level 15? Marksman.

Sure, she’s still a beast of a fighter and she’ll be even beastlier when I get her to level 20. And she’s not the only thrall I’ll be leveling. But… come on

Fortunately, this was already reported as a bug and the “suggestion” to fix it will be relayed to the devs:

Fighter thrall gets archery perks

[image] I got the exact opposite on my archer when I leveled it to 10. Yes, it is all probably random, but this just points out that random is bad coding. Needs to be perks that are tied to the profession. Spinas the Marauder is her original name. She has never held anything but a sword in battle
