Education

This is a measure of the learned skills and potential of the Character. This is not intelligence, though it plays a part in learning.

Each Status has a different amount of Education that is associated with it. Note well that there are many skills which can never be learned by certain Status.

With Education points, skills can be learned -- pure game mechanics here. Certain skills and abilities will cost more than others, and for the purpose of balancing out having a low-Status character (with fewer Education points to spend on Skills) there are "cluster" skills which represent a career track, allowing the character to be proficient in their narrow field without losing any points unnecessarily (say, duplicating skills or having not enough to buy basics like math and the like).
