Skillset: Bookbinding Skill: New
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Nov 2011
Furies' Decision:
We will look at allowing bookbinders to switch languages but with a 12 game
month cool-down.
Problem: When a bookbinder learns languages from the skillset, there is no way
to unlearn and switch without forgetting the skillset permanenently and
relearning it from scratch. There should be some way to change languages,
though it should have a cost associated.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Create a new scroll for Bookbinding, a Scroll of
 Tongues. Give this scroll a decent cost. READing
 the scroll has two possible effects: 1) If you do not
 know the language, it lets you HEAR and READ anything
 said in that tongue, but does not let you speak it
 (and only one of these can be active on you at a
 time, lasting an hour). 2) If you DO know the
 language but it is not your racial language, it wipes
 it from your mind (so you can either select another
 or use a different scroll). - This scroll obviously
 has only 1 use.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Make languages learned from Bookbinding be forgotten
 when you forget bookbinding temporarily (not as much
 of a cost associated to this one).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Add an ability to bookbinding, using it consumes 20
 lessons and 'forgets' a language (roughly similar to
 the cost of the forget-and-relearn method, per
 language learned).

I like Solution #3.

I like this. Preferably #3, though I would support a higher lesson cost if it
was thought necessary. I don't think this sort of thing should come cheap.

As I came up with it, I obviously support solution 3.
