Player 8:
There doesn’t seem to be one book teaching Latin, or advanced Latin reading. Could reading books on Artes Liberales be used on XP in Latin instead?
Not a stupid question!
There is a canon rule for this in Art and Academe, in fact. I believe it's something like being able to read the classics of teaching artes liberales to learn either latin, or artes. Let me dig it up.
E: I was partially correct. Technically this only applies to "being taught".
quote:
Each time a character earns experience points from being taught an Academic Ability, the player may apply those experience points to the specific Academic Ability taught, or to Latin or Teaching. He must put at least half of the gained experience points in the Academic Ability taught, distributing the remaining experience points however he wishes. If the character is taught Latin, the player may put some of those experience points in Artes Liberales as well, since Latin is taught using the classics and displaying the grammatical and rhetorical skill of the ancient authors. If a player puts experience points gained from Latin instruction into Artes Liberales, he must put at least half of them in Latin. This is a common practice at a university for student characters with no prior learning in Latin.
I also vaguely remember there being a canon
book with a special rule that you can gain an experience point in... something if it's below a certain level when you're reading the book, perhaps latin? May have been an area lore, however.
