This is how we lost a bunch of interesting looking skills in ShB all because "They do the same thing as one another." Exalted Detriment, Shadowskin, Luminiferous Aether, Leeches and so on all got removed in favor of generic, boring role actions that replaced each. It actually harmed job identity across the board in ways the game hadn't done so before. If anything, role actions need to be themed around the job you use them on; while retaining the same name, or need to be rethought entirely.
