Summary

0003836: Items and Inventory Tutorial need improved explanation of stat-ups

Description

In the Items and Inventory Tutorial, when it teaches you that you choose a stat to raise every three levels it fails to mention that certain races also receive automatic stat gains at certain levels. The character in the tutorial is a high elf (gaining either int or dex every three levels), so at level three when this lesson is taught the player will see two stat increases despite having selected only one, and the player may be rightly confused or get the wrong idea. The lesson simply needs an extra sentence mentioning racial stat increases.

Notes
(0029765) evktalo (administrator) 2015-11-10 10:28	To clarify, the stat increase text is a hints mode message enabled to trigger in tutorial lesson 3. It's a bit tricky to add the text for this particular occassion. You could add a check for player species for HINT_CHOOSE_STAT and add a line, but it'd make the long text longer, and it'd be much nicer to display the note after the species-specific stat gain (or even between the stat gains). One possiblity would be to change the species of the tutorial character(s), but that probably has balance concerns for the lessons.
