Matt is correct. If you are not fussy about completing each and every quest just erase the special skill in the "off" section and do not complete your class quest. That will put in the appropriate special that you want. If you complete the class quest it overwrites it!!

I learned this when I decided to do the "Melee Mash" using Troll, Ogre etc. and wanted counterstrike on a Mage character.

Actually you can really have all skills ,even with the quest completed.
For that you have to mod not only the hero.txt file but skills.txt as well.
The only downside will be that if you have the special skill ,appropriated to your class , already upgraded before finishing the quest, then the skill will be downgraded as an unlearned skill.
