Actually, Boasting *is* a big part of Orlanthi life (well, among the men, at least), and part of being a good weaponthane, or more importantly, clan Champion, is being a good Boaster. Now, it's probably not something you'd put the most effort inot ("I'll take 5w in Boasting, and leave Close Combat at 17..."), but is *is* something to put HP into.
