Then, again, if that is the case then why are peasants and nobles on "equal footing" with the civilized background? Shouldn't there be a difference? The Civilized background assumes everyone, regardless of class, has these skills.

I see what you mean, but the way the Courtesy skill is written up in the rules, it sounds very much like an upper class skill. I wish I had the book in front of me to quote it ;) My overall problem is this: there is no differentiation between class background in RQII. A peasant and a noble...

I love RQII to bits, but have two small issues thus far... I'm not sure I really "get" the purpose of the Culture (Own) skill. When would you use it? Isn't it reasonable to assume everyone knows their own cultural traditions to the extent that you wouldn't have to roll against that skill? Even...

Yes, I would like to know this as well. Also, will there be another spellbook coming out? I want to know whether I should sell my RQI spellbook or keep it.

The majority of RQ characters will have skill ratings below 50% when they start out. Heck, Joe Average Farmer would probably have an Athletics skill of only 30-35%. My question is, given these scores, what constitutes a "normal" skill test (eg, no modifiers to the roll)? In my way of thinking...
