Library Use/Database Use

Based On: Knowledge, Intellect, Perception

Used By: Archaeologist, Corporealist/Biologist, Scholar, Spelljacker, Theurist

Description Libraries and databases contain vast stores of information that may prove helpful or at least relevant to a character’s goals. The difficulty of a skill attempt depends on the complexity and obscurity of the information sought as well as the size and accuracy of the library/database (beginning with a difficulty of zero).

Complexity of Subject	Difficulty Modifier
General knowledge	+0
Introductory theories	+5
Advanced/state-of-the-art/cutting-edge information	+10

Obscurity of Subject	Difficulty Modifier
Common	+0
Uncommon	+5
Esoteric	+10

Library	Difficulty Modifier
Catalogued, large	+0
Catalogued, small	+5
Not catalogued, large	+10
Not catalogued, small	+15

Example: A character wants to find information regarding the replication of cells in super-heated conditions. In this game world, this topic is considered uncommon (+5) and cutting edge (+10) and the character only has access to a small, catalogued database (+5). The total difficulty for his attempt, therefore, is 20 (5+10+5=20).
