Supplement Four
SOC-14 5K
It's the last section of the Experience rules in TTB.
The rules say that the ordinary methods of skill/attribute improvement are all spelled out for us in that chapter, but that there are some un-ordinary methods.
RNA INT or EDU implants are given as an example. That's DNA manipulation, and it sounds both very expensive and very high tech.
Military or mercenary training is also provided as an example, but that seems to be covered fully in Book 4.
And...then it says "other systems."
SLEEP LEARNING
I was thinking about Sleep Training. It's a common sci-fi trope. While a person sleeps, his brain is being fed by some device.
How do you think this would work in the game?
What are the mechanics of it? Throws required? How would it fit with the game so that player could not take advantage of it and mess with game/skill balance.
It sounds high tech, given current tech in the game. Maybe TL 16? And, that makes it expensive, too. Those are two balancing barriers.
Maybe only certain people can learn this way. Is there an INT requirement?
