|p=This is intended.  It's part of the recent updates to {{PRel|Scholarship skill|Teaching}}.  This is the relevant change:<br>
<br>
''>>Teaching in Combat has been overhauled. Anyone can now teach the following skills in combat: All weapon skills, all armor skills, targetted magic, debilitation, warding, evasion, and tactics. In addition Barbarians, {{PRel|Paladin}}s and {{PRel|Thief|Thieves}} can teach their respective guild skills in combat. The rate of learning will depend on the lore skill set placement of the teacher (ie: {{PRel|Empath}}s/{{PRel|Trader}}s/{{PRel|Bard}}s can teach in combat far better than {{PRel|Barbarian}}s and {{PRel|Ranger}}s).''<br>
<br>
Is this a nerf for Bards (And other guilds to some degree)?  Yes.  Combat is already by far the most efficient source of training per unit of time.  Stacking additional skills into is is not something we want to encourage, but we also desired not remove combat teaching entirely and to modernize the skill list available which was, frankly, rather random and hadn't been updated since pre 3.0.<br>
