Yeah, if you want it cheap then sure. Considering the setting of Planeshift would allow books to cost less than normal training, but I believe normal training is really expensive anyway. Still, I\'d rather train with a professional after reading all this material anyway.

You know, that might be a nifty little addition to the training system -- you could buy a book for a fraction of the cost of training from an NPC (with a cost proportional to whatever level you\'re currently at), but you\'d need, say, 10 or 20 times the usual number of practice points to actually gain that next level...

I can read ) (INT 120)

I used to roleplay a character that couldn\'t read. But then some nice guildmember taught me, so now I can read and write, be it extremely slowly due to lack of experience.

Nearly all people RP a character which is able  to read though. So I guess the avarage PS being is able to read.

We all RP extra special charecters who are questing hero\\3\\/1L types, usually with special skills (Like magic), so I get that we all most likely read. That makes sense.
But I\'m not sure you guys quite get one aspect of the question.
I\'m wondering about the \'other\' people. The NPCs. The charecters that aren\'t in the game but rather in our charecter\'s history? The myraid of people you never see but make up the history and ecomony of PS. Or in other words, the everyday, the peasants. Do you guys think they all read too?

I suspect the answer to that question is yes.  Otherwise signs on businesses would not bother with words and show only images.  As many do contain words (other than the library) I suspect that the average peasant can read the venacular language of Yliakum.

Sekhemet can read, and quite well. She can also read music, and she speaks a second language. Benefits from having a merchant father who brings home tons of books and learns a great deal from his travels. ^_^

though she\'s somewhat naiive and sometimes doesn\'t even understand what she\'s reading. so she may have to reread quite a few times before understanding it wholly. same goes for talking to someone. XD

Assumption is not good but can we now assume that as Hydlaa has a notice board most citizens can read?

And (wrong place to ask really) when does Ojaveda get a notice board?
