Oratory Mechanics

• To recite a poem, click the podium in The Chortling Beaver and drag the identified poetry book into the window that appears. You will be prompted to write something, but whether you do has no bearing on the XP gained by reading the poem.
• For each person to whom the player has read a poem, 10 XP in Oratory is earned.
• The identity of the book itself has no bearing on the amount of XP earned. Given the same audience size, a low-level book will earn the same amount as a high-level book.
• There is currently a delay in receiving XP when reading poems.
• "We have some future improvements in mind, such as letting your Oratory skill affect the potency of poetry buffs, but that will come later. We'll also add more podiums to other cities, and eventually let player-carpenters craft their own." ^[1]
