Heroes 3: Who can't learn what secondary skill?

[LoDebar]

I've made a map with a few universities near the starting towns, and it's come to my attention that not everybody can learn all the skills that appear there. I have never seen this info listed anywhere before, nor has it been a factor in ranking the various factions. So lets share what we know.

Overlords & Barbarians can't learn Water Magic
Beastmasters can't learn Fire Magic
Warlocks can't learn Resistance
Death Knights and Necromancers can't learn Leadership or First Aid (I think?) - but they're the only ones to learn Necromancy. Dark Knights also can't learn Estates.

That's all I know so far. But everybody can learn anything if it's from a witch hut, right?

Hello,

here is the full list:
estates: death knight
fire magic: beastmaster, ranger
first aid: necromancer, death knight
leadership: necromancer, death knight
navigation: battle mage
resistance: warlock, witch, wizard, elementalist
water magic: overlord, barbarian

These classes can learn the secondary skills via witch huts and scholars.

IIRC Warlocks can learn necromancy. And Knights can't learn Fire Magic (not sure though).

I think warlocks can learn necromancy in heroes 2, but not in heroes 3. The fire magic thing can be easily tested with a magic university, knights can learn it.
