[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 7128977, member: 92305"] [b]ARGOSSEAN SCHOLARS[/b] Argosseans revile sorcery, so any sorcerers in Argos will hide their talents. Slaves often take the Scholar class to be tutors for the Nobles and Merchant Houses. Free men tutors are Scholars, selling their services to any who can afford them. All sorts of merchants, craftsmen, and professionals are classed as Scholars, where they take the Skill Focus feat in lieu of sorcery styles and gain +2 skill points in lieu of bonus spells. Priests, of course, take the Scholar class. [b]Books in Argos are typically written on linen pages that are either rolled up, as with a scroll, or sewn into the binding of a book.[/b] [b]SPECIAL NOTE FOR SORCERER SCHOLARS:[/b] Music is considered magical in Argos. Most Argossean sorcerers use music and dancers in their spells. This is often a required component to complete the spell--especially those spells with long casting times. Sometimes, the sorcerer himself must play a musical instrument himself in order to cast the spell. Dancers are thought to bring out magic from music or to enhance the magical effect. Bonus: Argossean Scholars who use music in their castings gain a +1 competence bonus to their Magical Attack roll. If dancers are also used, the the bonus increases to +2. [/QUOTE]
