CF: Literacy

[farrarb@vnet.net (Bill Farrar)]

I've got a question here....

We've noticed that a character who doesn't have literacy (or whatever
skill it takes to *read* things) is pretty unbalanced.  For example,
you can't read the rules Town Hall, can't read quest items, etc.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if it was limited to magical scrolls,
but it seems to be needed to understand some of the quests.  My
question is how do you get the literacy skill? Is there a way to pick
it up with an item?
