I assume that PCs are from the Middle classes (at least, higher with a level of Aristocrat) and that most 'Middle-class' or higher persons have formal tutelage of some sort.Commoners have no formal education and NPCs vary by class (Experts, Adepts and PC classed NPC are educated, the rest maybe not) 2.) Are only the elite spellcasters educated, but perhaps only in their field?No. I have both Arcane Academies and Theological Colleges with Science and Arts added for a broader Curriculum. Clergy, Wizards and Aristocrat/Experts will be Trained at such a college in such disciplines as Engineering and Architecture, Alchemy, History and Languages.3.) Do nobles benefit from higher learning, or perhaps just the basics?Yes (see above)4.) Do experts have schools for their specialties?Guilds sometimes run Schools but most experts train via the Apprenticeship system5.) Are there trade schools for craftsmen or just apprenticeships (and how formal are they)? See above6.) Do commoners ever see the inside of a classroom?Very rarely, their might be an itinerant Erudite Sage (Adepts of the god of Knowledge) who will give informal schooling in a community7.) What sort of training beyond the tilting field is received by guards, warriors, and soldiers?Obviously Skill at arms<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> and Military Drill. IMHO Any warrior who is given more advanced training (eg an Special Forces Elite or a Sapper ect) should be a Warrior/Expert (eg IMC I distinguish between Guards and Sentinels. Sentinels are highly trained guards who serve the Royal Court. They are able to read body language (Feat based on Sense Motive) and have various Stealth Skills) 8.) Do bards learn exclusively from a single master, or are there dormatories with some of the best damned parties in the kingdom full of them?I use the Celtic idea of the Omaan - the College of Bards - essentially a Guild to which all Bards belong and from which they can gain training. Certain Master Bard might start up troupes which also provide training. One of my campaigns had the PCs as members of a travelling Circus troupe which had ties to the Omaan and also established an Academy of Performing Arts9.) Where do monks learn their many disciplines?In Temples. IMC Monks follow the same god as the Erudite Sages but whereas Erudite Sages seek knowledge and teach others, the Monks seek to gain mastery of Mind and body10.) Does every temple have a classroom for their clergy?Besides the Theological Colleges/Universities mentioned above every Major religious order IMC has monastary type set ups where neophytes are taken and trained from youth in the holy scripture and dogma of the faith.</blockquote>
