Grand Master Training: Or something like that.

[Kaizen]

While we're on the subject ...

would it be possible to start giving out Knowledge Skill points to PCs that go through some ardurous, enlightment process - or write a decent RP post into the studying of something?

Not every class has the skills to go around, but there are some PCs that have been through some shit, and naturally - would have learned something about something.

Just tossing that out there.

I'm pretty sure that "Learning as you go" is essentially the entire premise of getting more skillpoints at each level.

i understand that.

Maybe i didn't correctly word what I was trying to say, so that's my fault.

What I meant is that there are some Knowledge (not the other skills) that not all classes get as a class skill - and with some classes only getting 2 or 4 points a level, they can hardly afford to put these points in those certain knowledge skills.

What i'm advocating is that in circumstances that warrant it - give out Knowledge Skill points to PCs.

I do not think applying this system with restriction to RP/flavour feats is really all that damaging as far as favouritism issues go. If the rewards are specified along with a maximum number, and everyone knows they're eligible to make use of the system, then it's a very transparent deal.

What irks people as favouritism is that some characters sometimes get off-the-charts stats boosts with little to no justification and gear that is powerful beyond anything that can otherwise be attained on the server. This suggestion is far from it.


As for knowledge skills: some non-equip items exist that provide bonuses to them as a DM reward. The main problem is that knowledge skills require training, so these items are useless to most.
