Learning lifestyle · perk tree
Scholarship tree (Scholar)
9 perks. Each costs one Learning perk point: 1,000 experience, earned at a base 25 a month while a Learning focus is chosen — 9 × 1,000 ÷ 25 = 360 months, about 30 years for the whole tree before modifiers. The last perk gives the Erudite trait.
