I'd shrug, but on a spur of the moment impulse, I picked up DF 3 the other day, and was blown away by how awesome it was.

So I'll probably end up getting this as well. Eventually.

Eventually!?!? It is already mine . . .

By the way, I love these learned character types!

Well, I had already decided that DF 4 would cover some of the "missing templates" from my original outline, and since people had actually asked for learned characters here several times, the choice was easy. :)

If the choice was easy, on the other hand the design was superb. This is very good stuff.

You look somewhat inspired for these series, Sean!

Were there templates for Parsley, Rosemary, and Time too? Will those ever see the light of day?

Book-Learned Wisdom is a very nice touch. The Scholar has the versatility he needs without having a lot of points invested in skills that would be only be useful from time to time.

I have one question. Can manuals be memorized for Book-Learned Wisdom purposes? If so, a Scholar with Photographic Memory could keep a vast library in his head, which could be recalled to fill his BLW slots. Even if I rule that it takes just as much time to remember the manuals as to read them, the Scholar still avoids the problem of logistics.

IIRC GURPS DF underplays knowledge skills a little more than I'd have preferred. Hopefully this new PDF will expand on them a little, and try to make them more useful.

Ideally, it'll strongly differentiate a Wizard with fair IQ Magery 5 or 6 from a Sage with very high IQ and 4 levels (or more!) of some Scholar Talent.
