Lore: [Species]

Posted on July 19, 2021 in Skill

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.

iCore iCore™ Skill Details

climbing up or over difficult surfaces or terrain. Free climbing has no inherent bonuses, but professional climbers gear (harness, carabiners, pitons, rope systems) will grant +1 to +4 adjustments depending on how much of the common gear and if it can be used effectively. Climbing vertical surfaces is especially difficult and may impose penalties. A climber may make a check to discover the best route for ascent or descent of a long route – granting a bonus if successful. Characters who are non-encumbered have no penalties, while encumbered characters suffer -1 per AM impairement and any hamper penalties. Combat while climbing is considered fighting under unstable circumstances, inhibited by the climb skill. Simple contests can be assessed using best result degree of a check; ties settled by skill level then RCT.
