Book 1: Education (Courses) - Havard - 07-20-2014
Have any of you taken a closer look at this system yet? I find it interesting that courses are not in any way linked to levels in AiF.
Again, this is a part of AiF that I feel could benefit from some more streamlining...

Yes. Lots.
The stumbling block for me was thinking of the education system as a kind of skill system. It isn't really. The twenty education areas are more like the ability traits - set and specific features of the game each with its own mechanic. The difference between a character trait and an education trait is primarily that one is acquired in game and the other is inherent.
