(Not a bug) Beckett, in the Museum, with an empty box

I spoke to Beckett in the Muesum workroom, and made sure to ask him about everything I could. But he is less helpful than usual.

Did you take out the Scholarship boost from Beckett? 'Cuz I don' feel no smarter than I did befur I meeted him. A'hurr.

No the scholarship boost is still in there, but you have to have a scholarship level of 2 or less to get it. If you have Scholarship 0, 1, or 2 you will get the boost if you ask him "This is all fascinating stuff... how long have you been studying Kindred lore?"

Ah, it's capped now. Gotcha.

It always was, al least in vanilla.

Yes, vanilla it was capped and I liked it better that way. Leaving it uncapped made it possible to get a HUGE XP bonus off of a tiny statement, didn't seem right to me. If you had a Scholarship of 4, then got a +1, that's a butt load of FREE XP.

In CE 1.4, it's not capped. There's a post in the 'Ask A Question' section where we listed a lot of these ability boosts you get from NPC's, and which ones have caps; it's under 'Elder Vamps'.

I know it's doesn't seem like it, due to my incessant posting; but I'm relatively new to this forum and the CE mod. I didn't realize that CE 1.2 (which TFN is based on) still had the ability caps. So I was going, "Huh?"

Exactly.

Exactly.

I was afraid I was going to catch a bunch of flak for this, thanks for agreeing.

Actually I meant I liked the butt load of free XP. But It's cool.
