Science

The Science Skill represents a character’s exposure to the philosophical underpinnings of the scientific method. Though they likely have some knowledge of modern scientific theories, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they have a PhD. They have just learned to look at the world in an orderly and quantifiable way. For this reason, it is entirely compatible with Occult.

• Science 1: The character can understand physical evidence, and separate useful data from background noise.
• Science 3: The character can extrapolate from available data, incorporating all evidence into a comprehensive theory. They can also make simple compounds with access to the right materials and tools.
• Science 5: The character can create and test hypotheses almost instantly, running thought experiments to deduce the most likely explanation. They can create advanced chemical reactions with household products, and repair machines on basic physical principles.
