Biology
Posted on August 10, 2022 in D20 iCore Skill
( BIOLOGY) Biology is an advanced Life Science of the study of living organisms which picks up where Botany and Zoology leave off. Cellular behavior and ecology, cell evolution, genetics, and biochemistry are all informed by the Biology skill. It is the microcosm of the botanical and zoological macrocosm. Biology allows for research and treatment of specific organ or bodily processes, the practice of advanced medicine, genetics/eugenics, and the ability to study and identify any living organisms to learn of its functions and processes. Biology, along with engineering, forms the core of installing and creating (Physics needed) cybernetic enhancements – basic materials, processes, tools and procurement.

Astrology
Posted on July 26, 2022 in D20 iCore Skill
Astrology is a real force in the iVerse (as opposed to the pseudoscience it is perceived as in modern times). It is a divinatory/revelatory practice that can reveal some small Sign or Oracles denoting either positive or negative outcome under specific circumstances. It is usually practiced as a Ritual.
Though most practitioners of who call themselves astrologers are charlatans preying upon the weak, the true cosmological Pattern delvers seek to reveal Portents by mystic sight and travel. They are trained to recognize markers and weaves within The Pattern in order to reveal the significance and probability of future events. These can seek out auspicious moments (favorable to them or least favorable to opponents) to attempt tasks, pathways to truth and knowledge, and even insights into journey-taking. The act of Astrological Delving catalyzes the weave around the target – making the likelihood of their vision nearly certain (though details leading to and away from the vision are open) – it would take a strong Essence to impose a change to The Pattern to change the delving outcome. A delving can be done on any moment which is greater than an hour in the future. The delver loses 1 essence until the moment has passed or is no longer relevant, and makes a fated skill check. A Reveal check will reveal randomly what the portents will be. A Seeking check attempts to find the best moment: full = A Favorable Encounter (the entire moment); major = A Favorable Instant (the initial round of the moment); average = A Rancorous Instant (the initial round of the moment); simple = A Rancorous Encounter (the entire moment); failure – unclear, no further checks.

Security Systems
Posted on January 17, 2022 in D20 iCore Skill
[ Feature Impact ] > Positive (Cost = CP as a Skill)
The capabilities of the Security Systems are a System (operative) Type feature that allows a character to exercise standard Item Operation Interactions on. These interactions represent Accomplished Activities.
Each Setting may have Device/System elements and Technology that enhance Toolkits and Work Stations for making and repairing related materials. Additionally, Frame of Reference, Availability, and Technology may limit what an individual is familiar with or even can conceive of.
The character is practiced in the art of bypassing and defeating security systems. More primitive mechanical locks are ‘picked’ by manipulating the physical components to trigger unlocking them. More sophisticated locks require basic knowledge of bypassing circuits, password cracks/encryption, and lastly fooling biometric locks. Systems may include all manner of monitoring and triggers that may need individual bypassing or an attempt to hack and gain control of a system. This requires Access of some kind.
Breaking is considered normal ‘unlocking’ – which may trigger various alarms or audit logs, etc. Bypassing, where possible, imposes a -4 penalty and leaves no trace. It is usually practiced with a kit of typical equipment like a CAC.
