Your applied education and professional training. Controlled by sense.
- Knowledge: Any knowledge that you the player have, your character also has, or at least has instincts that amount to the same thing. However your character may know something that you don't. When you first encounter something you may ask for a check against your study score to see if you have already learned about it. If the check succeeds the referee may fill you in on background information, related legends, or even game statistics that your character has learned. Intricate knowledge gives a penalty to this check. If you fail, you may not check on the same topic again without using study to research it.
- Research. It requires a project to attempt research, and a location with the library keyword. The information the referee provides on a successful check against your study score is limited to what is available from your research books. If the books have nothing relevant a successful check reveals this as well. You may retry research, but once you have achieved success you won't gain any new knowledge unless the books are updated or you try a different library.
- Treat. You can use a project to cooperate with a resting and injured individual's strength check to recover.
- Understand. When you encounter cryptic texts or unknown languages you may check against your study score to decipher meaning. The time required varies based on just how information you are trying to understand. Your failure margin is the number of clues, prompts, or helpers you need to discover before you gain the information.
Associated Abilities
- Cast: You may use spells, and you gain the Empowered Magic stunt. You can spend 1 focus to do a project in 1 action or affect something you can see as if you could touch it.
- Deduce: You gain a bonus on sense checks against clues and cues. When you inspect you get all the pointers, plus the location of the nearest clue or cue from the same mystery.
- Heal: You may use an action and check scholarship for an ally within reach. If you succeed you remove one bleeding and restore grit up to the success margin. When you treat others you restore hits equal to your success margin (spread between allies as you see fit).
- Recall: You gain a bonus on any knowledge or research check.
