This skill represents a character's knowledge of obscure facts and information and serves as a bonus to general knowledge tasks within other skills. Each rank with this skill gives the character a +3 to all general knowledge skills (this is automatically included on the online character sheet).
Education can be formal or informal. If formal, assume rank is equivalent to the number of years of post-secondary education. Thus, rank 2 would be the equivalent of 2 years of college and probably an Associate's degree. Rank 4 would be the equivalent of 4 years of college and a Bachelor's degree.
This skill includes the task Obscure Knowledge Check. The GM may sometimes call for a knowledge based skill roll that is outside of the boundaries of any skills possessed by the characters. In such cases, use the Obscure Knowledge Check. This could be a simple as identifying a strange animal and no one in the group has Zoology or any other appropriate skills. |
