Source

Every file's top-level value carries source.

`Srd51`

SRD 5.1 — retained nonconflicting catalogue material.

`Srd52`

SRD 5.2.1 — the 2024-revision System Reference Document, the same CC-BY-4.0 grant as 5.1 and the current rules chassis. Its files carry the .srd52.ron suffix so provenance reads off the path; see data/README.md for which document rules a given value.

TradePractice

How eligible hours at a trade's recipes teach their tool. Practice stops at Journeyman; seeded knowledge above that boundary is preserved.

Field	Type	Required	Description
aptitude_percent_per_modifier	double	required	Percentage added to learning speed per point of the selected recipe's governing ability modifier. This contributes separately from Intelligence, including when Intelligence governs the recipe. Missing recipe ability contributes zero. Shares the limits described above.
intelligence_percent_per_modifier	double	required	Percentage added to learning speed per Intelligence modifier point. Contributions add: speed = 1 + (Intelligence modifier × this percentage + recipe ability modifier × `aptitude_percent_per_modifier`) / 100. The shipped 2.5 makes Intelligence +3 alone learn 7.5% faster. Must be finite and nonnegative; the two percentages must sum to less than 20 so even modifiers of -5 retain positive learning speed.
years_to_journeyman	double	required	World years of eligible recipe hours needed to reach Journeyman from zero at neutral ability modifiers. One world year is `DAYS_PER_YEAR` days (100 today). Required hours = this value × days per world year × the ordinary working-day hours (10 today); each eligible hour earns 90 / required hours training days. The pace follows the world's year and ordinary working day, rather than a fixed hour count. Must be finite and greater than zero.
