Ple-Sen
Auto-translated
"What a… important man," thought the Tanarrian woman as she looked at the portrait of the ancient king, "...let's just leave it at that."
Pushing away the inappropriate thoughts, Alaria immersed herself in reading. In some ways, Aural was the complete opposite of his father, but he was no less a worthy man. In contrast to the great warrior, he was more of a brilliant reformer and innovator, somewhat like Twaiss. He was the one whose ideas and achievements built the greatness and prosperity of Welfern. And, unlike Duke Larian, Aural wasn't even a great warrior. He was simply a talented politician, born in a time when martial arts were more highly valued. It was naive to think that he didn't face many challenges in the form of more aggressive opponents. Nevertheless, he succeeded, and his memory lived on to this day.
However, Alaria couldn't say that she completely agreed with the legendary ruler on everything. Yes, his idea of presenting certain legal aspects of the future empire as something bestowed from above probably carried more weight for a righteous and devout people... but with the right desire, it could still be twisted. In her own world, this was twisted all the time, sometimes in very creative ways. With sufficient ingenuity, something like this was not impossible at all. Especially if Welfern were to suffer the same fate as Calcite, whose temples were now in disrepair and visited only by lone pilgrims. It was important to realize that no matter how powerful the gods were, even they were not all-powerful. Perhaps the most striking example of this was the history of the world of Baldur. However, being a talented and insightful ruler, Aural probably understood all of this perfectly well, even without stories about other worlds.
In general, a static bonus is probably better, as the modifier will only pay off after earning 5000 experience points, but I'll still take the modifier. I like passive bonuses.
