In play
Conscientious Scribe: learning rises by 2, monthly learning lifestyle experience rises by 10%, and domain limit falls by 1. This is the first learning education. The domain-limit cut is part of stopping this early. A matching culture or faith can add further bonuses. Those bonuses are not part of the base list.
How to get Conscientious Scribe
- Gain: Conscientious Scribe is the lowest Learning education result. A child on the Learning education focus gets it at 16 when their hidden education score ends at 7 or less, which usually means a weak or missing guardian, low intelligence, or a Rowdy childhood trait working against the focus.
- Remove or lose: Later in life it can still move up one rank: the University Visit activity rolls for a rank increase at the end of the visit, and a spouse councillor's tutoring event can raise it a rank on a critical success.
To avoid Conscientious Scribe, give the child a guardian with high Learning (their Learning also helps a little) and pick the Learning focus only if the childhood trait is Pensive or Curious, which adds a large bonus to each yearly roll; Rowdy gives a matching penalty.
