Court Physician Slot

[Jon83]

Quick question. I took a break from CKII and missed conclave, but just picked up Reaper's Due. In my games, I have the option of recruiting a court physician but I do not have a court physician slot in my Minor Titles window for him. Does this somehow require Conclave to work? Is there a year in which Court Physicians can be ''slotted''? Something else I'm missing?

Thanks all.

Possibly relevant, I am Duke of Pisa in 794.

Only characters that have 15 or more learning can be appointed court physician.

Apparently the ones that come from the "decision" to search for a court physician can have less that 15... since they are appointed immediately.

If the slot is not there, or don't let you click on it, is because no one in your domains is up to the task (15 learning minimum)

I believe you can appoint Anyone with the physician life trait (possibly some others like mystic?) even without 15 learning.

I actually have 2 physician traited people above 15 learning, and a non physician at 23 learning. No indication from game that I have, or can appoint a court physician at all. I can search for them, over and over via the intrigue menu, but I cannot do anything with them. They just sit in my court.

I was under the impression that Court Physician was a minor title that could be given out to anyone that met the requirements, similar to Cupbearer or High Almonder, and the Court Physician could be found within this Minor Titles menu. Is this untrue?

My experience is only with conclave, but physician is a minor title, like commander, or cup bearer. If you used the "search for a physician", and then clicked yes, it automatically gives them the minor title. With conclave, there is a menu to see all of the minor titles you can give out, which I am not sure is in the game without conclave. As a feudal lord, you should be able to have a court physician.

Before I added conclave because it was on sale I was able to appoint a physician just fine. It is at the top of the list of minor titles just below regent. If you aren't seeing it then it is a bug or maybe something got screwed up with the install.

With my limited experience playing tribal pagans with RD, it doesn't seem like my court physician is getting the physician trait. He did a lot of successful treatments over the course of several decades but the trait never popped up. Is this just something that tribals don't "do"? Or is it possible as a tribal pagan to appoint your 15+ learning courtier to physician and actually have him become a true physician?

Fifteen is odd choice considering that it doesn't even have unique description (all attributes over 12 are just described as masterful).
