I've got a couple questions about (upgraded) TROD and skills, considering sentient pets can learn skills.
1. Can TRODs learn skills?
- Due to the wording 'creature' in the mini tutorial, so I'm not sure if that includes robots.
2a. Can TRODs speak?
- It's not explicitly in their stats, though I know it's generally accepted that they can.
2b. Do TRODs need to be taught how to speak?
- If 2a is a yes, then do TROD need the skill Foreign Language?
(regarding both question 2a and 2b, I feel like there should be a note in the TROD stats if they can speak and do so without learning the skill)
3. Can TRODs learn useful skills and apply them like a character would?
- 'Useful' as in skills such as Barter and Loot Area oriented skills. TRODs can have their own loot area threads AFAIK, so would they be able to make use of Loot Area skills there?
