Artefact Lore

Attributes: .................Intellect x2

Level: .........................DF: 6 BCS 10%; 800 Exp

The character has spent long hours seeking the knowledge of ancient and powerful items. The gamemaster may apply modifiers if the character is not familiar with the area the item is from. The character can recognise information about the ancient items that have been recorded in history or myth and legend. The more obscure the item, the lesser known it is, the less likely that the character has the information at hand.

The penalties imposed for finding such information might greatly extend the time before he allows the mage to make a roll for success or failure. The character must have basic knowledge of Lore History and Legend skill to be fully effective with his Artefact Lore; otherwise he may only apply ½ his PSF% when using this skill.

He gains a bonus in TSC% Artefact Lore of +1% per 5% PSF he has in the appropriate History and Legend skill that has a bearing upon the subject of his search. If the character Artefact Lore TSC% bonus is greater +13% he also gains a +1 to the crit die roll. Use the table Lore Research in order to determine the outcome of his Artefact Lore investigation accuracy.
