[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8128068, member: 63508"] Same here. It is possible that there are 2 baseline assumptions when it comes to learning magic. One where learning magic is easy but expensive so anyone of wealth or long life span would become spellcasters. Another where learning magic is hard and time consuming so only those who can ignore all other duties or live centuries can learn magic at significant skill before advanced age without adventuring. Because ultimately there is little difference gameplay wise between a noble fighter NPC with a wizard hireling and a cleric adviser and a noble wizard NPC and a fighter bodyguard and a cleric adviser. Only really matters when the party does hostile actions to the lone noble. [/QUOTE]
