Research

When expending a point of Stamina to research, a player should pose a question about the world, lore or about a specific figure/object and post it within their #downtime-submissions request. A GM will review the question asked and assign a Difficulty Class (DC) between 7 and 25 to the question based upon its complexity and how difficult the answer would be to find within the given resources available. If you are studying a specific object or reading a tome not found from the Verdigras library, please clarify this within your request and provide context for the GM. In the event that the question posed does not have an achievable answer with the given resources, then the GM can request the player to ask a different question.

Once the question is approved, the player must succeed an intelligence check against the stated DC in order to receive an answer. This roll may not benefit from any temporary bonuses such as the spell Guidance, bardic inspiration or the Enhance Ability spell. Upon rolling a failed check, the answer is not found and the researcher receives +1 Karma

Another player may assist also you in your research. In this case, the assisting researcher expends one Stamina to provide advantage to the research roll. If this combined effort still fails, both players gain +1 Karma.

Research Process

1. State that you will be research with a post in #downtime-submissions. In this post be sure to provide the question you would like answered and mention any research materials you are using in addition to the Verdigras Library if applicable. Also within this post, make note of any research bonuses recieved from previously failed attempts.
2. Once the question is reviewed, a GM or Mod will provide a research Difficulty Class (DC) for the question.
3. When prompted by a GM or Mod, roll 1d20 + Intelligence in #downtime-rolls. This roll cannot benefit from any temporary bonuses such as Guidance, bardic inspiration or Enhance Ability, but does receive a bonus from culminative failed attempts
4. Based upon the outcome of the roll the GM or Mod will provide you with an answer to your question.
5. If the research failed, gain +1 Karma towards future downtime rolls.
6. Consume one point of Stamina with "!cc Stamina -1"
