Question: Philosopher ability?

[Maraxus]

I can't beleive nobody mentioned it yet but with the new patch there is the Iassacharite Sage, who does exactly this:
Research without sloth-influence!

Only sad point is, that it also has wasteland survival. You can change equipment, age and attributes, you can also clear the 20% random magic with #clearmagic, but wasteland survival can only be cleared by #clearspec, which also removes the special ability.

[DrPraetorious]

It only makes sense than such an ascetic would have wasteland survival anyway.

[Aezeal]

hmmm a new nation has pplz with 10% chance of magic but they can always research (didn't really try but says so in the text.) copy paste that one.

ow.. to late

I agree with drP. if you can survive the acolyte years of a monastry then surviving in the desert is nothing
