Message: <blockquote data-quote="Starfox" data-source="post: 4721724" data-attributes="member: 2303">If you want game values to decide literacy, base it off Int. Make the requirement low. If you want most but not all your heroes to be literate, set it to Int 10, and you probably get around 75% literacy. Setting it to 11 would probably mean about 50% literacy in the party. Setting it to 13 would make literacy rare, perhaps 25%. I would suggest making the requirement 10 (or 9, if you want an odd number), but as I said it depends on how common you want it to be.This assumes, of course, that your players would not take Int just to be literate, which would increase literacy rates somewhat. In fact, this could be the cure for Int as the universal dump stat. You also have to make sure there exists alternate, non-written mediums for rituals. I suggest ritual fetishes that contain the information of the ritual in non-written form, as suggested in (I believe) the PH2.</blockquote>
