Crackpot Scholar weapon design change

So hear me out. SE should give Scholar a KNIFE as a secondary weapon (or simply just melded into their primary weapon's offhand slot.) So they can hold book in one hand while holding a Shank in the other.

Not only would it make SCH stance distinct from SMN without taking away anything vital, but it would also go well with the "war tactician" theme that scholar has, and it would tie in really well with their relation to Toneberries.

This would be more of a commodity rather than a necessity, but i really think this should happen.

Hahahahahaha what an unexpected suggestion~
I'd get a real kick out of this, especially because of SCH's connection to Tonberrys (Tonberries?).
My goodness this would have me playing and glamming SCH a lot more. Neat idea~

I came in here expecting something stupid, and I must say this is stupid enough to be brilliant, take my upvote!

It's dumb. But I like Tonberries...so why not?

And why not take it the next step? Every time a party member dies the Scholar receives a stack of an effect called "Grudge" and it ties it to move that uses the secondary weapon called "Everybody's Grudge" which does damage based on this.

I know the obvious flaws when it comes to personal DPS, but it weaponises our healer rage.

Some Tonberry flavor would be much welcomed at this point with how integral they are to the storyline. They have been researching a cure for so long it seems plausible they should have learned something worth teaching us by now. How to hold a knife for optimal shanking is a funny option but I would settle for any skill magical or otherwise at this point.

Honestly this is great

Each healer should get an ability that weaponsises their salt. WHM's have misery, Sch's get grudge, Astrologians should get something that blows up all the cards for damage because they're all the wrong oens
