So for instance, a good archer would want to be well trained in some form of close range combat aswell. Vice versa for someone who's versed in the art of the blade, having a bow at their command would be vital for targets beyond blade's reach.
Tessa for example, was trained in Gladiatorial swordplay, and became a free paladin of eorzea, but she also trained long and hard to become adept with a bow. Lending to her paladin abilities, she's dabbled with conjury, but only really has minor ability in it.
