Sorry about the newbie question here. I know that helpers learn in Burning Wheel, but I couldn’t see if it’s the same in Torchbearer. Thanks!
Hi @ErikSonOfEliah !
In Torchbearer (2nd Edition), Helpers can learn from helping, but they need to spend a Fate Point to do so.
Dungeoneer’s Handbook (p251), under the section Secondary Characters:
- Help with skill or ability (+1D)
- Aid with a wise (+1D)
- Synergy: spend a fate point to learn
Scholar’s Guide (p87), under the section Synergy:
When helping another player on a test, the helper may spend one fate point before the dice are cast to learn from the experience.
…
By contrast, in Torchbearer 1st Edition, you had to spend one of your hard-earned Checks to learn when helping!
Torchbearer 1st Edition (p23), under the section Help Checks:
You can spend a check when you help another character. Mark off the check as you hand them the helping die. Doing so allows you to log a test for advancement for that roll.
