Scholar (Adventure Map)
|
| Scholar as seen on the adventure map. |
Scholar is an adventure map object, that teaches a hero +1 to one of the primary skills, or one level of secondary skill, or a spell. The map-maker can define which primary skill, which secondary skill or which spell the scholar teaches, or it can be random.
If the Scholar teaches a secondary skill which a hero already has, it improves the skill to the next level (e.g. from basic to advanced). If a hero has the secondary skill already at the expert level, he gets +1 to a random primary skill. The same is happening if the Scholar teaches a spell, but the hero has no spell book or a sufficient level of Wisdom to learn it. Thus, the Scholar always teaches the hero something and disappears after that.
A Scholar can also teach a secondary skill that a hero cannot learn due to his class. For example, a Scholar can teach Water magic to Barbarians.
Horn of the Abyss[edit]
In Horn of the Abyss a hero can refuse to learn a secondary skill, but a scholar will disappear after that anyway.
