Academic in Left in the Dark | World Anvil

Academic

You’re the one who knows where the bodies are buried (and what’s buried with them). You found the blueprints of the underground spy base. You discovered the secret incantation that can banish the Nameless God before it brings about Armageddon. Whether wading through dusty volumes of lore or discovering hidden secrets on the net, the Academic is always useful.  

Academic Talent


Requirement: Intelligence 3 or higher and the Intelligence (Research) focus.  

You are trained in finding knowledge and using it.

 

Novice: You have a real skill in not only finding facts, but knowing where else to look if you hit a dead end. If you fail an Intelligence (Research) test, you can re-roll it, but you must keep the result of the second roll.
Journeyman: You have become adept at remembering relevant information. When you perform the Ah-Ha! stunt, you gain one free extra use of it (that is, if you spend 1 SP, you can perform the stunt twice, if you spend 2 SP, you can use it three times, and so on).
Master: Your fact-finding abilities are unparalleled. When you make an Intelligence (Research) test as part of an advanced test, you gain a +1 bonus to the result of each Stunt Die. This increases your roll, and allows you to reach the success threshold faster.
