Wonderment dispels the subconscious biases and a rewrites of the notions of what’s possible and not possible, likely and unlikely. Executing an action under the effects of wonderment is treated as if the character had their full Proficiency Bonus.

Type: Transcendant

The character’s mind is dramatically open as they explore and experience the world around them. They gain a number of checks equal to their CHA + INT which can be used for any ability as if they were “Studied” in it. These checks must be used quickly; usually by the third gaming session the character participates in.

Climbing is a Mobility Expression reflects …

In addition to being a mode of locomotive movement AND a Skill – walk/run, climb (brachiate), jump (hop/spring), swim, fly – each one can be taken as a Accomplished Activity Trait for the Athletics Skill.

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.
