Apprentices - Scribe (SNS)

__TOC__
﻿Unlike the members of player character classes, scribes do not gain followers at higher levels. However, they often pick up apprentices in the course of their business.
Once a scribe reaches 5th-level, he attracts a single apprentice every time he gains another level (at the 6th, 7th, 8th, and so on). That apprentice remains in the scribe's service until the scribe himself goes up one full level in experience. At that point, the apprentice becomes a 1st-level scribe.
At 8th level and above, a scribe attracts up to three apprentices per level. Each of these apprentices is ready to leave after their master attains a single level of experience. At 10th-level, and each level thereafter, a scribe attracts another scribe of five experience levels less than himself. This journeyman has come to learn from a master. Once the master earns another level of experience, the journeyman gains a level and can leave if he wishes.
However, the journeyman can choose to remain with his master if both are agreeable. If this happens, no new journeyman seeks out the master scribe.
Once an apprentice becomes a 1st-level scribe, he is not obligated to leave. If the master scribe permits, the new scribe can join his practice as a junior partner.
