View Full Version : Speed Reading vs Rapid for Normal Sight

I just today noticed that the Speed Reading tallent is built with both Rapid and Analyze for Normal Sight.

Obviously a character does not need Analyze to read normally, since Normal Sight only has limited Discriminatory properties.

Why then is it necessary to add Analyze when trying to read quickly? Doesn't the Rapid adder already allow a character to percieve things they would normaly be able to at an greatly accelerated pace?

I ask because our resident speedster routinly reads whole books and listens whole music CD's in mere seconds with his Rapid x1000 Normal Vision and Hearing. I want to know if he should have to purchase full Discriminatory and Analyze for these sense to be able to do stuff like that.

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry, but I don't answer game design/philosophy questions, such as "why is such-and-such done this way?". The Speed Reading Talent is correctly built.
