Talk:Aptitude

Average Aptitudes: Why.

Why does this table matter, and why would anyone care?

"Average" aptitude (as in, what all other aptitudes are compared to) is canonically 0 -- I don't see what benefit anyone could get from knowing that the mean Short Blades aptitude of all species currently in the game is 0.308. If you're playing the game, you're going to be looking at your species' aptitude for Short Blades, and judging whether you should use that nice rapier you found based on how your aptitude compares to 0, not how it compares to how good everything is at Short Blades in general.

Also, why include Gnolls? Their whole schtick is having arbitrarily-high aptitudes because they're forced to train all skills. --spudwalt (talk) 08:51, 13 September 2022 (CEST)
