>>Kougen: Ehhhh, not quite the same category, which is partly why I bother to ask. Lecture demonstrably does something at least - e.g. "lecture Blah blah blah" actually gives you a large round time and prevents you from lecturing again for a while. Too short of a message returns "That's not much of a lecture." etc.
On the other hand, there are some verbs that clearly "do something" and have roundtime or downtime even though they don't provide any tangible benefit (mechanically speaking). Chant, for example.
Lecture doesn't yield experience or boost any base stats. In the absence of messaging to the contrary, I would not assume that lecture provided any bonus to teaching.
When you think about it, it doesn't make sense that lecturing about a potentially unrelated topic would make my class more effective.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall rank!
