Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nzld" data-source="post: 2658359" data-attributes="member: 37407">Scribe SpecialistI still haven't come to terms with a scribe character.We have the specialist Bookmaker/Scribe with a very decent Scribe skill (7). However, unless he has a score in Magic Theory, he will be unable to copy texts on Arts, Magic Theory, or Parma Magica, etc.I had thought to create a scribe grog with Magic Theory, who could fulfill this function, but my main desire was to have someone who could translate magical texts (i.e. the magi's lab notes, or those found elsewhere) so the magi wouldn't have to do that themselves. However, the 5th Ed. rules indicate that translating requires a Lab Total and, thus, a laboratory, so it cannot really be done by a simple mundane, even if he has a score in Magic Theory.Yair, is it feasible to allow the Specialist a Magic Theory score of 1, so he can at least fulfill the first role of copying magical texts?Alternately, if you don't want the scribe to start with such a skill, would the magi be able to train him in it in-game?</blockquote>
