Default Re: What else can we define as a 'style'?

Some fields may not be interesting enough for the full rigamorole of styles though. As I see it, styles are designed for a field where there are several competing approaches, whereas the License perk works better for more unified or less interesting fields.

Take schools of historian for example: "Ahah! Like you I'm a 'North American theory-agnostic', but I trained for a year in Nancy and have the Humanistic Style Familiarity (French Post-Modernist). Unless you have that perk, that gives you an extra -1, so you fail to resist my Write Slandrous Review attack. Now I try to use the hit to your reputation to get your request to visit the Bibliotheque Nationale rejected." Probably not a good focus for a campaign!
