Acoustics
Skill:Acoustics
Multiple:1
Prerequisite:Physics 1, Education 2
Skill TypeTechnological
This skill allows the character to build and repair white noise generators, noise insulators and bafflers, and sonic protection gear (headphones, helmet liners, and so forth). No more than one item can be construction per week, but the price in materials is 10% less than the normal item cost. When repairing acoustic devices, use the standard repair rule.

Build Device
The basic chance to build a device is equal to rank x 5 plus ((INT + LOG - 80) / 2). This assumes a device of moderate complexity with all parts and tools available and a suitable environment (e.g., workshop) in which to build the device. If anything is lacking in this regard, the GM may impose penalties to the roll or disallow the task altogether.

Repair Device
The basic chance to build a device is equal to rank x 10 plus ((LOG - 40) / 2). This assumes a device of moderate complexity with all parts and tools available and a suitable environment (e.g., workshop) in which to repair the device. If anything is lacking in this regard, the GM may impose penalties to the roll or disallow the task altogether.
