The worms! THE WORMS!!!!

True. But it seems a waste to just re-write everything. The keyword is supposed to be shorthand.

Very true. I had to constantly reign in my Nathic avenger Player, who kept thinking her Assassin covered everything. Now, if there was an established "Keywords have 20 abilities included" you could just switch them out to make specialties. But I think that defeats some of the purpose of Keywords as shorthand for anything you've forgotten.

Again, things like personality traits come to mind. Skills, I agree, if part of the keyword, should probably be the same as the whole keyword.
