That, or change Cure to scale with Str instead of Mind on Pld. Since the beginning, Pld has had an empty and "wasted" slot, but they're not the only ones.

SE received more complaints about cross class skills than Santa Clause receives wish lists at Christmas. Their response was to ignore them. They then decided to make all future jobs start at lvl 30 and have no starter classes.
