> So I propose the following benefits of reading: > - gain some grow of potential > - skill is increased by some amout (maybe quite a bit) Yeah, that's what I suggested before, but your point about trying something while you read it, I think, is just becoming too worried about details. Your not going to really get so good at something by reading about it to make a difference. You really need to go out and start using what you learned. I think we can safely ignore whatever minute gain can be had by reading about something. > Great idea. But this is really good candidate to hide from players. > At least the "gaussian curve" calculation part. ;-) Of course. I still support in my few points I made in my earlier email. We tell players very little about the system except the basic rules. Darryl
