I’d rather see that changed than having it be replaced with a perk that has the same problem.
It’s not the same problem. Right now, people refuse to pick Student on the vast majority of their characters.
The proposed solution would be a huge inducement to picking student at lvl 1, and a lesser inducement as the character leveled though. However, given the EXP bonus, the (few) people who would take Student already do it at level 1 or 2 anyways.
Also, is Sky your less coherent sockpuppet?
