Perks and Perkbooks
Characters may gain perk points as they level up in a class. Perk points allow players to read special perkbooks. Perkbooks train skills which are passive, and outside the scope of normal classes. Perk skills are always trained to 100. Characters may only gain a few perk points over the life of the character, so no character may learn all of the perks, just some. Perk books are considered temporary, and are completely game controled and made, as there is no actual perkbook object (my 1st attempt at dynamic controlled items which do not use object numbers, just data). Perk books are not rentable, and are not saveable in the player file of a character. Perkbooks may be read by anyone who has a perk point.
