Rhetoric - Passion SS

[cymrean]

I'm late into the first year with my Durand student and i noticed that although i study Rhetorics the Passion subskill never actually increases by Attending Classes while the three other skills do and are around 8. I was wondering if it's intentional.

Yes not in every Class are all aviable Subskills Teached. Or would you expect to be teached Forgery in Calygraphy from your Prof?

[cymrean]

I haven't studied Calligraphy yet, but that's a great point. I guess Sleuthing from Dialectic is another one?

[Mikka]

Basically, yeah.

 

Arithmetic, Botany, Glamour, Grammar, Incantation, Negation, Revision teach all their skills in class (though for some skills, you're unlikely to get to 10- especially Arithmetic with it's high multiplier).

 

Astrology gives you two skill ups for Comets, but otherwise leaves that for the player. Rhetoric gives you one Passion, but leaves the rest to the player.

 

Athletics doesn't teach Archery. Calligraphy doesn't teach Bookbinding or Forgery. Dialectic doesn't teach Sleuthing. Enchant doesn't teach Magical Appraisal. Geometry doesn't teach Astronomy. History just teaches the Calamites, the Early Empire, the History of Magic, and the Middle Empire (making it the class where you can get the highest score without casting any spells or using any Increases by far). Music only teaches Famous Songs, Notation, and Voice (...though I really thought there were a few Lute lessons there, huh). Zoology just does Birds, Insects, and Mammals.

Great to have a list of those skills. Thanks.

 

Do classes teach stuff not under the parent skill. I just had Famous Battles go up one level while in Grammar class.

Yes there are some side infos you get during the class that confers into skillpoints for other subjects. (So not the complet second half year of class becomes useless for the player)
