Lore: [Species]
Type: Life Sciences
Lore: {Species} is knowledge of a particular species or race (1 per instance). Its cultural manifestations, practices, places, implements, and personalities relevant to the setting; It does not cover physiological aspects other than superficially apparent elements such as common form features, values and behaviors within a specific society. No deep understanding is necessarily implied, without related capabilities or powers. The
Common Knowledge gained by any competent skill practitioner can easily be gained by questions and study of recorded information. The
Lore Knowledge Levels follow the standard
Learning levels.
Common Requirements: Significant time to acquire/achieve outside of Character Inception.
Lore: {Species} adds specificity to the basics of
Zoology (or has a chance to reveal the same things for just one species), improving chances to learning critical resistances, immunities, and vulnerabilities.
Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.
