Raven Blackwell said:Hasn't come up really. My Scholar players tend to RP their obsessions w/o noticing. ["I want the evil book of power!", "No, I do!"] Throwing in the potential for extra PP would cause them to focus solely on this and thus forget the actual plotline. 8)

Hyborian Apeman said:Looking for a book to increase their power wouldn't fit in with the obsession rules, as they are just looking to increase their knowledge/power (the only goals of sorcery).
Hyborian Apeman said:Sorcerers can only have one end, and that is their own power increase. If they are consistently playing that way, the rule of obsession is not needed
Yeah, funny, the same with my players.Raven Blackwell said:Well, my party is really in no danger. Increasing their power is their sole goal- save for vengeance. 8)

Mortepierre said:Related question: given a Scholar is deemed "obsessed" if he ever acquires more levels in another class, does this mean that - say - a Stygian lvl 2 Noble who later picks 1 level in Scholar is automatically obsessed from the minute he multiclassed?
Yeah, same here: I'm at work too, but I'd rule it the same way.

Well, I don't have the books in front of me, but I would say no. I would rule that only classes taken after the PC turned down the path of sorcery would count as qualifying for obsession.
