You can't read, you may be facincated with books and go over them over and over again trying to figure out what they mean, but you can't read.LikewiseThere are no texts with "arcane lore" lying around really. I'll work out a little bit of something as a nod to the idea, but all your arcane knowledge, etc comes from the heroic soul's incarnation within you.I'd like to suggest this possibility[sblock=Quinn's dazed activities]Quinn works at the growers dome, but he's not particularly good at it.Instead he often finds himself wandering the corridors and starting at the strange twisting writings that line the walls.Sometimes he'll spend hours standing in front of the great doors. They are strange doors, with no handle or keyhole and seams so tight that even a single hair can't pass through them. And they are covered with runes that glow when touched. (there are several doors like this within the complex and the nearby tower)Children sometimes like to come to the doors and play, if you touch the runes for long enough something happens (usually you get shocked, but occasionally something else happens, like your nose turns a different color for a minute, or a little butterfly appears).Quinn was very very good at this as a child, famous because, no matter how much he touched the door he never seemed to get shocked.He could even remember the patterns to certain combinations (some prestidigitation effects).But he could never get the doors open either and, as he grew to adulthood and fell under the daze, he found that it was too difficult to remember the patterns.So he could only come to the door to stare.[/sblock]This is a fine ability to have, once you've become first level (which will happen fairly quickly) you'll be able to read normally.(Your heroic soul imparts upon you the ability to read)These are story hooks.Don't worry about it.Hmm. Nobody wants to give the Geeche anything...OK. I can work with this too.We may gloss over this to start, I don't want to focus too much on one character right now. As mentioned in the faq the gods have disappeared. Even their names have been are forgotten.Most people (everyone of the townsfolk who isn't a PC ) don't remember they ever existed, or what the importance of the church is.However you're Heroic Soul could have often devoted itself to the service of a god of learning and magic that you no longer remember.So you remember you used to worship serve 'something' but not what it was.in a post to about Heian (the paladin PC) I saidYou need to get two more spells for expanded spellbook (so you'll have 4 dailies instead of 2 to choose from; you only get to cast one a day of course).Otherwise things look good. (I haven't checked every plus, but I think you're definitely in a playable state.)I think I'm going put a mini post about how you got your spellbook up soon (those sorts of things are absurdly rare in the current world, but a PC wizard dropped recently and so I have a ready made spellbook you'll acquire that was meant for him).Need coffee first.</blockquote>
