Hey man,
It looks to me like you're going a little overboard with your descriptions. I've also spotted a lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes that are hopefully just because this is the first draft. Remember, we want things to be as succinct and informative as possible. For example, compare these for circle:
<quote>> Gladiators are famed for their flamboyant fighting styles. They are well known for quickly circling their opponent and striking at them multiple times. While the move is generally for show, the attacks are extremely devastating and can easily distract and confuse their opponent.</quote> Could easily be replaced with:
"Circle allows a Gladiator to quickly move behind their opponent in combat, issuing a devastating attack to their unguarded back."
Another example:
<quote>> Years ago, a group of Monks successfully defended their temple from a band of Marauders. The Marauders were so impressed with the Monks’ fighting skills that they decided to leave them alone and learn from their techniques. Most of the Marauders mentioned having large amounts of dirt kicked into their eyes, rendering them blind for a short period of time during combat, making it nearly impossible to fight. The leader of the band of Marauders decided that dirt kicking would be the skill that they would learn and use. It became so effective for the Marauders that it became a staple for all Marauders to learn.</quote> Seems really wordy. Orwell said: "If it is possible to cut a word out, cut it out." I agree with him. For example: "Most of the Marauders mentioned having large amounts of dirt kicked into their eyes, rendering them blind for a short period of time during combat, making it nearly impossible to fight." Wellll… I'm pretty sure it's implied that if you're blind during combat it makes it nearly impossible to fight, so you can take out either the part about being blind or the part about being impossible to fight. I suggest you look for other examples of this in your prose, as it will make your helpfiles much easier to read and understand.
I actually do like the little bit of history you associated with some of the skills you put here. I'm not sure if every imm will agree with me on this, but I think unless it's blatantly obvious, a reason a class has a certain skill rather than "well, it kind of seems to go with that class" is a good thing to put in a helpfile. Just try not to overdo it so much that what the skill actually DOES is obscured. Perhaps each skill helpfile should be divided into three sections (1) Syntax (2) Description/History and (3) a VERY concise overview of what the skill actually DOES. (e.g. for crippling touch - sucks hit points, mana, and stamina from the enemy and gives it to you).
