In context, that means food and shelter, as stated in the next few sentences. It doesn't necessarily mean learned how an airship works or how the planar magic interacts with one another. Again, top 10% in intelligence if you want them to be - at first level. By 12th, they are equal to the noble if you want them to be. I also cited history, religion, and nature.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> We're in agreement. I don't see a reason either, which is why at first level they can be in the top 10% of the common population. Which is why by level 12, they are equal to their noble peers. This is about getting a head start, not an advantage for a lifetime. But it all goes back to the racial ASI argument and the +1 that elves or dwarves or gnomes or half-orcs got. My feeling isn't that anyone on here is upset that the kid that grew up on the street isn't as learned as the noble's kid, it's that they can't make the character they want that starts with a 16.</blockquote>
