The van Tibernius Mathematics School was started 1 year ago in Mineta by a old successful merchant. This school so far only has one classroom and most students are irregulars. That's why usually there's only between 1 and 2 dozens students visiting the class. Its focus is Arithmetic but Geometric and Economic are also taught depending on the teacher giving lessons.

Somehow you managed to become an irregular student at this school which informs you in all Arithmetic subskills and allows you to visit the school.

Describtion: The van Tibernius Mathematics School was started 1 year ago in Mineta by a old successful merchant. This school so far only has one classroom and most students are irregulars. That's why usually there's only between 1 and 2 dozens students visiting the class. Its focus is Arithmetic but Geometric and Economic are also taught depending on the teacher giving lessons. Once a student have a deep enough understanding in Arithmetic this school also offer advanced economy studies that help improving the economy skills even past the normal limit of 10 if the student is willing to spend enough time on it.

The Tuition for a Academagica Student is 800 pims per year and this is already a discount to the normal costs.

From an RP perspective it's fine, although you might want someone to go over the spelling etc in the description.

 

As for power, I wouldn't say it's too strong. In fact, I probably wouldn't take it on a powergame playthrough considering I can get an attribute point instead.

 

I'm not a big fan of % rolls. A 50% chance makes it hard for the player to plan out their advancement because the outcome of their actions is unpredictable, and it strongly rewards save/reload style play. This is very obvious for that ability that has a 50% chance of expanding 4 instruments. Play without reloading and it averages to 2SS/action which is weak. Play with reloading and it's a powerful 4SS/action ability that can quickly max the music skill.

 

Is the +2 arithmetic skill step or skill level? If the former then a character with good attributes will generally only get 1SS worth of benefits because excess beyond what's needed to raise the level don't count.

Assuming it's SS (which is in line with most attribute increasing abilities) then this is a background point for an action which will usually gain the PC 2 SS or 3 if they pass a difficult roll which will not usually be green for even an advanced character and will not be possible in the early game.

Also, like most skill training abilities the value of this one will diminish as skills get maxed

That's not really all that good. Plus, most of the skills that it trains are not high-priority skills that show up frequently in adventures.

 

If you want this to be in balanced in line with the 'top-tier' backgrounds (those that give an attribute, those that unlock an adventure, maybe prodigy: curiosity and a few others) then consider one of:

- Make it give a point of intelligence as well

- Make the training give 4 SS. This is powerful but not OP for an ability that doesn't expand "choice of subskill" and that costs a background point.

- Write an adventure that requires the background and that gives better rewards for the time required than the average student adventure (as even a heavily powergamed character will not run out of student adventures to do). Something like +1 attribute & +1-3 SS/action in 4 or fewer actions would do the trick

@hdghg Its skill step so the maximum you can get from the Ability are 3 raise in level. Because 50% of all Arithmetic SS need at last 2 steps to raise a level, no matter how high your attribute is, the 2 skill step are great.

As it is now I personal see it as good very early game tool with the 3 skill step and a great ability for mid / late game if you pushing Study Habits first and don't have Arithmetic and Geometric as class.

 

I full know that adding 1 of each attribute at the start is important but past this you can consider what to do with your background points. In my last play trough such a ability would be the equivalent of around 20 more SS because I had to accept many 2 SS Sphinx results after like 5-6 rerolls with even worse results.

 

Btw. complaining about the spelling in the text and not pointing out what the problems are helps no one (beside I use already a tool for GB English) !

Bold are what was already bold or obvious mistakes, possibly on my part, Cursive are things that I'm not sure about.

 

 

 

Personally, well, my last playthrough skipped pretty much all of those skills and never missed them. And background point? Really short supply, spend on pumping attributes.

Looks like my aim what I want to reach in the end is by now different then the rest ^^.

My goal by now is to train all skills available as class in year 1 to 10 and if not possible at last as many as possible so the character is flexible in what skills I take in year 2 as class.

 

Thanks Metis but apparently there isn't any interest for this minimod so I keep the version I publish currently with all the text mistakes for my personal use only.

I wasn't aware that some arithmetic skills needed >1 SS to train... I guess that shows how often I train them! As you say, maxing class skills isn't a key goal of mine. That might change when Y2 comes out if there's a particular class I really want to take, but I do choose a different college for each game so I will eventually get all classes done by at least one character. I haven't done Vernin yet though so no arithmetic.

 

Sorry I didn't go over the text in detail, but it was late when I wrote my post and I needed to get to sleep. Looks like Metis has a pretty good handle on the text, although there's one of the cursive comments I'd disagree with:

It's focus is Arithmetic but Geometric and Economic are also taught depending on the teacher giving lessons.

Should be

Its focus is Arithmetic but Geometric and Economic are also taught depending on the teacher giving lessons.

Yeah, like I said I'm not sure on the cursive bits and 's and I have a long history that, rest assured, has nothing at all to do with English class. Because that was completely useless.

 

Anyway.

 

Arithmetic isn't that hard to learn, two skills have a training modifier of 1.5 and the other two only 1. The latter two you can 0/0 train with Selective Focus, the former two you can take the edge off with SF to get consistent 0/1 if you have a reasonably decent Intelligence score. As for getting all class skills to 10, well, that indeed isn't a goal of mine. Given the horrible inefficiency of classes I kinda don't want to show off to the teachers and get "benefits" like extra classes. If I need to train something I'll talk with the Sphinx.

Hmm, actually I under-estimated maths in earlier discussions - and you don't often get math-related bonuses from RE and adventure's, so it would be a handy booster, being a geek I would also quite like a "mini-me" on the math side who could also do the cool stuff that I can't!

 

I wonder though, if people think it should be improved, whether something like +5 or +10 pims might do the trick to make it worth it in the early game - a nothing once you have the skills to cruise the roll but plenty enough to get the black sheep going at the outset. The pims could be justified by you doing basic accounting-type work for the masters - they teach you by giving you scut-work accounting problems from their sponsors, and those who do very well at the work (i.e. roll high) get to chew the fat with the professors and thereby learn the more-than-just-math tricks of the trade.

Actually I've probably underestimated math, as well.

 

Unfortunately, my primary interest in the field, arithmancy, is not truly seen in Y1, merely hinted and alluded to. I can see taking a math class in Y2 in certain circumstances. given how useful arithmancy must be to all pillars.

I just like to think of mathemagics and mathemagicians :rolleyes:

 

In practice understanding some math/science could allow much more efficient casting (like using leverage to shift a boulder rather than just heaving it up), but it depends on how strong the normal laws of physics, etc are in a magical world. In practice though Academagia has so many refined skills that unless Yr 2 has some sort of cross-cap (i.e. economics max of 15 unless you have math at least 10) a lot of skills are probably less necessary.

You agree to help them and working trough the stack you even manage to find a record from a missing turtle that have Elvie engraved on the carapace. When your finished with the work you got 10 pim for this and now even have time to visit the owner. Its a trading house of the van Tibernius family that is given as conact and you where direct brought to the boss when the worker see you have Elvie with you. From this person who introduce him self as Silfan van Tibernius you got a 1 year trial coupon for the Tibernius Mathematics School because you brought back the turtle of his daughter.

2) Sleuthing: What clues do you have to find the owner?

Sleuthing + Int

Success: You know the silver-breed turtle is not native to Mineta so you start to ask around at animal vendors but you fast drop this path because this race was sold to many customers. Now the next clue is the engraving of the Name and looking close it get clear that it must be done by a master engraver as there still some very fine marks that point to the work of a craftsman instead of magic. And right you where, at one of the best places for engraving the shop owner remembers him self about the turtle and that it was someone of the van Tibernius family who have a tradehouse nearby. When you approach the warehouse a small girl around the age of 6 or 7 runs out in your direction "Elvie, Elive are you this?" and the turtle reacts to her calls. "Oh yes, its Evlie! How have I missed you!!! DADDY! This student brought Elvie back!!"

The parent of the girl comes out and introduced him self as "Silfan van Tibernius" and asked you some things like where you had found the turtle and so one. After you answered this to his satisfaction you got a 1 year trial coupon for the Tibernius Mathematics School

Failure: You know the silver-breed turtle is not native to Mineta so you start to ask around at the animal vendors. The third vendor you visit claims this turtle is his but when you ask for the name of the turtle he started with Da just to correct him self to Belne when he spot the engraving. Because there was clearly something foul you left this shop but the vendor send his dog after you. The dog still hit his teeth into you feet for a short moment but didn't get a hold on you and so you managed to escape.

3) Planets: Maybe the current Planet constellation give you hints where to find the owner

Insight+Planets

Success: The lead you got from the divination is to go where you found the turtle. So you walk to the shores of river arcadia where you found the turtle. There you spot a young girl with noble cloths searching for something and when you hear her shouting "Elvie, where are you?" you know you found the owner.

When your getting close the girl looks up in your direction and when she spot the turtle "This is ... Elvie? Yes its her! I know I will find her today! Thanks for bringing her back!" To a coachman nearbe she then says:

"Mirko we have a guest on our drive back. My father have to give this person the reward he promised for returning Elvie"

You take a seat in the coach. Because the girl only have eyes for the turtle you talk with Mirko and learned a bit how to handle the horses in front of a coach. He even allow you to hold the reins for a short time. After a not to long drive you arrive at a large warehouse. There the girl shout "DADDY! This student found Elvie!!"

The parent of the girl comes out, introduced him self as "Silfan van Tibernius" and then ask you some questions like where you had found the turtle and so one. After you answered this to his satisfaction you got a 1 year trial coupon for the Tibernius Mathematics School

You fast look around but the only place to escape the horses is to jump direct into this rumble heap. Man your now urgently need a bath but at last you found something that might worth some pims when your crawl out of the rumble. That's really enough for today so the search have to wait for a other day.

Elvie 05b

 

Title: Use the Picture to find the owner

 

Armed with a picture of Elvie you walk through the gate of Academagica. Its not a long walk till Mineta and you still have to come up with a idea how to find the owner of the turtle!

 

1) Transport: Ask around the city

You start to ask some passer by when a driver with a stuck cart wave you over. Reluctant you walk to him. "Ho kido this picture you show around look like the turtle of boss's doughter." "Say ya what. You'd help me with da cart and I will bring you to da boss. Have we a deal?" Because its you best lead you help the man and he then tell you that you should get the turtle wile he make the delivery and he meet you on his back way. You have your doubt that the man will be there but still you get Elvie and then get to the place where you should meet the driver. The man was true to his words and waited already at the agreed place. After a uneventful drive you arrived at a warehouse where a young girl is playing in front of it. When the girl spot the turtle after you got of the cart she comes running.

"Is this? ... This is Elvie! DADDY! Someone found Elvie!" A man in noble clothes comes out of the warehouse and introduce him self as Silfan van Tibernius. After your asked some questions like where you had found the turtle and so one he gave you a 1 year trial coupon for the Tibernius Mathematics School as reward for finding the turtle of his doughter. When you about to leave the driver ask you if he can trade the picture of the turtle for a Box of Chocolates as he can't afford a pet for his own child. So you agreed to this deal.

Add Box of Chocolates; Add Tibernius Mathematics School 1 year trial; Inform Tibernius Mathematics School 1 year trial; Brute Strength +1; Adventure Ends.

 

Failure: You carry around the picture you made without any protection so you easy can show it to people passing by. Because you found Elvie at river Arcadia you walk along it to ask the people there first. Suddenly you hear some loud noice and when your looked its to late your drenched by a large wave to the bones up to your hips. What's worse the paint of Elvie is now some kind of abstract art. You have to go back to your room to get dry clothing and even make a new picture of Elvie so you call it a day. When you try again with a picture you probably better use some kind of transport case.

+1 Stress; +1 Transport; Continue to Elvie 03

 

2) Calligraphy: Make copys of the picture to make some found poster

Finesse + Calligraphy

Success: You turn around and get to your dorm to make some poster with the text "Turtle found please contact the bestiary of Academagica or the 1st year Student [Player Name]". That you don't have to waste to much time you used a method that destroys the original in the action to copy the poster. After that you spend a lot of time to find good places to put them up.

Next day you where called to the Bestiary and when you arrive there a middle aged man and a 6-7 year old child waiting near the cage of Elvie and the turtle in the hand of the child. The Man speaks up "You're [Player Name] who found the turtle of my daughter?" "I want to tank you in the name of the van Tibernius family.

Failure: You turn around and get to your dorm to make some poster with the text "Turtle found please contact the bestiary of Academagica or the 1st year Student [Player Name]". That you don't have to waste to much time you used a method that destroys the original in the action to copy the poster. When you then have a look at your copys they are all so bad that you have to trash them and with your original also now useless you would need to get a new picture of the turtle. But for today you wasted enough time with this.
