New to the Reaver class and have a couple of questions.

[Zanrath]

When I first became a Reaver I picked slash and got a slashing flex weapon. The trainer asked if I wanted slash or crush. It was my belief that it only made a difference in what Initiate weapon you got. Was I wrong in this?

Now my toon has a Flex-slash weapon and a Flex-crush weapon. My Initiate(slash) increases my flex skill by 1. The crush adds +3 (otherworld I believe it is called). But when I put it in my hand my flex skill does not go up. Is this because I picked slash when I saw the trainer for the first time?

Your + to skills is capped at (level / 5) + 1. So if you're level 9, your max + to flex weapons is (9/5 = 1 + 1) = 2. If the item is high level enough you might also get the message "<item> fails to affect you"

[Zanrath]

Both items are yellow to me at lvl 7.  I think what is happening is the +'s plus my skill is > cap.  So no bonus is being given vs. bonuses to equal cap.
