[Rq-rules] Background Experience (RQ III)

[Lev Lafayette]

I've never been entirely happy with the background
experience system in RQ III. This is simply because
the percentages are static (30 percentiles per annum)
regardless of capacity and ability to learn, and the
gains are likewise static (30 percentiles to skills
rating 05% or 60%).

The following is a simple modification I've added that
seems to be working without much trouble.

For every year of the chararacter's life over 15 they
receive INT*2+POW skill points (average 30). 

They also receive the equivalent of 3 years worth for
the period prior to 15 (I don't have automatic
percentages for cultural skills - these two have to
purchased).

Skills may be purchased at a 1:1 basis to 50%, 1:2
basis to 75%, 1:3 basis to 90% and 1:4 basis from then
on.

It's pretty quick 'n' easy and seems to work.

Any thoughts?

All the best,


Lev
