Exposure in ArM5 refers to a method for gaining Experience Points. For other meanings of the term, see Related Topics below.
Gaining Experience Through Exposure
Exposure is a kind of learning by doing. Unlike other methods of gaining experience points, a character can get exposure while spending the Season doing something else. For example, if a companion spends a season working as a blacksmith, she makes a lot of horseshoes (and some money) and simultaneously gains experience points due to exposure.
Compared to other learning methods in ArM5, exposure tends to have a poor Source Quality -- with the exception of exposure to a Language Ability by immersion, which has a rather high Source Quality.
Past Editions
Exposure as a learning method did not formally exist prior to ArM5, but a related concept does appear in Fourth Edition: magi gained experience points in Magic Theory every season they spent working in the Laboratory.
