Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)
A fee of 100 gold is charged when study
is first issued for a
skill. The payment is used to acquire various materials needed for the
study and eventual practice of the skill.
Some skills also require one or more noble points to learn. These skills are clearly marked in Appendix - Skill Dictionary.
In addition to these fixed costs, there is a charge of one additional NP for the category skills a noble learns in excess of three skills, i.e., for the fourth, fifth, etc., category skills a noble learns there will be an additional 1 NP charge. (Basic Religion [3500], the strength skill learned in conjunction with a religious skill, and Advanced Sorcery [170] are not subject to this charge.)
