Expanded books

[tog89]

Reading a few posts about skills, does anyone know if the Devs have indicated their future plans for skills? I would love to see skills be dependant/improved with books. I was thinking that depending on the difficulty level, you would not be able to perform some actions without first discovering the required book. For example, on Pilgram, you know all skills at level 50 and reading a book will give to 10 points in a skil. On voyager you have all skills at level 10. On stalker you do not have a skill until you read a book, which gives you your first 10 points. This would also be affected by a successful event adding 1 point as usual.

Skills such as repair and fire starting are always available. Skills such as crafting and forging you would need books for. You could even tie receipts to the books. A craft wolf skin coat book would give you that recipe and 10 points in repair, a make your own bow book would unlock bows and arrows, and give you 10 points in crafting.

It would make finding books more of a special event, and could help offset my bush pilot knowing how to field strip a rifle, sew a coat, carve a bow, and make antibiotics from lichens.

Thoughts?
