Stat Requirement at the Academy

Post by Alitar » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:26 am

I'll try to keep this vague regarding the numbers/stats involved, but a certain academy in Westgate has a certain requirement of a certain stat in order to become advanced in the academy. I would like to suggest making it an option between two different stats. Those stats would be the present stat and intelligence. Intelligence is a great quality in a tactician after all.

If you'd like to hear more(i.e. read it without me trying to hide details since this is public) let me know.

Yes, but if you recall the purpose of the academy, tactics aren't the main focus. The stat it is currently, is the most important quality for the type of student they want.

That's debatable. RMC appreciates education in officer training just as much as it values leadership skills. They're both very valuable, hence, both being attributes they'd look for.

When the area was designed and built by its builder, I'm positive these things were taken into consideration and the lesser-used of the two skills for fighters was chosen as the prerequisite for joining into the advanced membership of said academy. I tend to agree that it should remain as it is, sorry. :|

I concur with the dissenting opinion here, but -more to the point- it is my policy to defer to the builder's decision in cases like this. That venerable builder did devote some thought to that requirement and we ought to abide it.
