Scriptural Scholar?
Could there be a scholar that uses Scripture to obtain secrets or abilities instead of regular scholarly works? Maybe a parable in a holy book could give insight into learning a skill? Or maybe a prayer book could help the scholar learn a spell? Just curious...

Re: Scriptural Scholar?
Of course there could be.
As a GM; I'd either rank all the books on skills they could provide, or up the cost a bit (not by much, probably) and let the table vote on each & every book on what skill it could provide. The Divine Lectures on the Heavenly Arts might provide insight into Aerobatics skill, while THE BLACK BOOK might have something on demonology, or Art (painting in black). :p

Re: Scriptural Scholar?
A scholarly lens on either a cleric or a holy warrior would make a lot of sense to me!

Re: Scriptural Scholar?
An interesting idea would be use it as a limitation or enhancement on another ability, kinda like requiring or allowing extra effort. For example:
Figuring out the actual costs would require more GURPS-fu than I have right now, but I would happily eyeball it with a player and not worry about the technicalities. |
