This sounds rather basic, but you know abilities such as barrelling attack, strength of the crowd, sunder armour etc... do they add an extra attack to what your glad would have done without the skill, or replace an existing atack with this 'ability' attack?

For example, if i have a 2 handed glad, would it be wise to train as many skills as possible so he attacks more? See what i mean? Or would this actually not be such a good idea, because actually he wouldn't attack more, and he attacks so infrequently he probably wouldn't even trigger all the skills in a fight?

Also, on a related note, how do i get create distance to trigger often whilst also getting things like hamstring and signature move to trigger? Ive noticed going parry-slash makes create distance trigger more, but the others less, and vice versa if i go straight slash.

Thank you
