[QUOTE="Heap Thaumaturgist, post: 258706, member: 4516"] Well, IMC, literacy will be something hard to come by. Then again, MC is -not- your usual D&D, so it makes sense there. I'll be using a ranks system alot like Nemm's. For the most part my signs work alot like signs did before literacy became commonplace in our world ... The Golden Grapes Inn has a large sign outside with, well, gold-painted grapes on it. Orcish "Do Not Enter" signs are particular totems with an arrangement of skulls and feathers. Plague markers are painted sticks ... things that don't involve words because language is an oral thing and writing comes second. Wizards and Rogues for the most part will have literacy as a class skill. Everybody else will have to pay cross-class for it, in small doses, meaning most people won't bother with it and will have to ask the Wiz what something means ... --HT ... oh, and Clerics of certain orders will get literacy as a class skill. That's where our biggest drive to literacy came from. [/QUOTE]
