Change manuals for gnolls
To make gnolls use manuals at the same rate as other species, you'd change the aptitude bonus from +4 to +124. Unfortunately, this has one problem: even a double-digit bonus won't fit on the skill screen in console, let alone a triple-digit one.
So I see the following options:
- Simply make manuals do nothing for gnolls. Say they're functionally illiterate or whatever. This seems kind of mean but it does solve the problem.
- Increase the aptitude bonus to +124 for gnolls so that the manual gets used as quickly as it does on other races, and rearrange the skill screen so that there's room for "+124". You could also go with +99 which is one character shorter but would still probably be good enough.
- Goldify manuals so that they don't take up an inventory slot. This has the problem that gnolls may prefer to avoid a manual to a useless skill in order to manipulate acquirements. So either the skill dependence of acquirement needs to be removed, or gnolls need to still have a way to toggle a manual on and off (which is kind of ridiculous).
Any others I've missed?
