I don't think either of the sages are especially appropriate for straight DFRPG, and if people want to add them back in DF4 exists as a ready-to-use expansion (DFRPG already includes the rules for scrolls).

More to the point though is that Book-Learned Wisdom is why I personally want to play a scholar, without it I'd rather play a wizard or bard; having a higher IQ score by one is pretty irrelevant to my interests in playing a character in an RPG. Now obviously evileeyore disagrees, so clearly there may be people who like this version enough to play it.
