Okay, so I'm still gettin' into this game, and I'm curious about the squire's Monster Skill ability. I beginning to like my Chocobos, but, as a support skill, what does it do? The CoN page mentions targeting a friendly monster within 3 squares, does that mean it adds an option to the character to train? Or is it more of a Learning ability while the character is in range?

I'm just really confused on the advantages/disadvantages of unequipping JP up for this. Any input at all beyond, "I don't like it" or, "I like it" would be great.

You have to be right next to a monster up to a vertical limit of 3. I use it a lot with no real complaints.

Monster Skill is a passive ability that gives any monsters standing adjacent to the character the ability to use one extra skill. That skill is different for every monster.

This webpage has a list of all monsters and what skill they gain.

Like monsters in general, Monster Skill tends to be lackluster, though there are a few standouts.

So does this page. The last skill listed for each monster is only available after it's been Monster Skill'd.
