Schooling is a [[Proficiency#Point-Buy|Point-Buy]] mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there. Each school costs 3 Proficiency Points to have attended. When you purchase a pack, specify which School of that pack you attended on your Character Application. Attending a school gives a Character the bragging right of having gone there, but also a unique mechanic that can be used in Progressions to reflect their higher education, and a function that can be used in-game. Whether or not a school blocks students is indicated by the 'Open' or 'Only' next to its name. Open means anyone can go. Only means only the Race or Culture that runs the school can go. There is no cap on how many schools your Character can have attended, although it should make sense in the Backstory you have written up for them. Some packs can be bought multiple times, to get more schools of that pack, but this doesn't apply to all packs. Check the descriptions for more information. | Schooling is a [[Proficiency#Point-Buy|Point-Buy]] mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there.

Schooling is a Point-Buy mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there. Each school costs 3 Proficiency Points to have attended. When you purchase a pack, specify which School of that pack you attended on your Character Application. Attending a school gives a Character the bragging right of having gone there, but also a unique mechanic that can be used in Progressions to reflect their higher education, and a function that can be used in-game. Whether or not a school blocks students is indicated by the 'Open' or 'Only' next to its name. Open means anyone can go. Only means only the Race or Culture that runs the school can go. There is no cap on how many schools your Character can have attended, although it should make sense in the Backstory you have written up for them. Some packs can be bought multiple times, to get more schools of that pack, but this doesn't apply to all packs. Check the descriptions for more information.

Grants the Character 3 years of learning at a School for their organized religion. It is mandatory that a Character who part-takes in their first School is of the actual religion of that School. This Pack can be purchased multiple times however. While the first School must have been of the faith of the Character, additional Schools don’t have to be, and can be treated as “expanding religious horizons to know better how to debate them and disprove them”. | This Pack does not grant Progression uses, but is mandatory before a Character can be an ordained Priest of that particular Religion.

This Pack can be repeated numerous times to learn more about the Archeology of the School’s specific source culture, as they only teach the source culture’s Archeological sites and ruin exploration. | Allows the Character to not have to look around for ruins. Provided they are looking for (for example) Ailor Ruins, and have studied at the Ailor School, they no longer need to play a game of cat and mouse, and will know where to find that type of ruins in a general area immediately. This however will still fail if the area has already been explored fully or all ruins have already been looted. | None |
*Certain Knightly Orders allow their members to learn the equivalent of certain School Types during their training. Knights who wish to learn these School Types may invest the 3 points per Type where applicable, but cannot attend any other schools in the same Type category. Furthermore, Knights cannot claim any of the Backstory Rights, as their membership to their Knightly Order is a lifelong commitment. The Bloodcast Order is the exception to this, and their Knights may freely join any Schooling they wish.
