Breaking (Bad) Scholars

[Shostak]

The fact that academic knowledge is interdisciplinary rather than wholly compartmentalized means that there will always be some overlap between the different talents. Arts & Letters would reasonably include at least some folklore, for example, and History & Geography would include at least some information about cultures and customs. But that could be solved by requiring a roll for information rather than simply giving it, or, if already requiring a roll, adding a die or more for those with only cursory knowledge.
