{{HR|This is a comprehensive guide to the [[House Rules]] for Occult for each specific venue on Edge of Darkness. Many of these checks will run the range of penalties, whereas some information will require a Specialty. Please remember, this is also a cross-venue board -- even with a Specialty, a lot of information regarding other splats simply won't be available until you gain it IC. }}

==Changeling==
Occult encompasses a very broad and general knowledge; some things you may not know without a relevant specialty. What I'd like to do is outline here what you can expect to know at the different levels, and what Specialties and/or Penalties you might expect. This is from the CtL perspective only. This is also a guideline -- IC experiences override this. Many of these checks will run the range of penalties, whereas some information will require a Specialty. Please remember, this is also a cross-venue board -- even with a Specialty, a lot of information regarding other splats simply won't be available until you gain it IC.

: {{Dot1}} – Your own Seeming (including affinity Contracts)
: {{Dot2}} – Universal Contracts, other Seemings, Pledges, the Hedge, Structure of the Freehold, titles within your Court
: {{Dot3}} – Oneiromancy basics, Entitlements within your Court, Kiths outside your Seeming, other Seeming Contracts, awareness of other supernaturals

==Mage==
Occult encompasses a very broad and general knowledge; some things you may not know without a relevant specialty. What I'd like to do is outline here what you can expect to know at the different levels, and what Specialties and/or Penalties you might expect. This is from the MtA perspective only. This is also a guideline -- IC experiences override this.

Remember: Mages can cast and grow in power without *ever* having 'book' knowledge of magic. Just because you're an Adept doesn't mean you know what the Quicksilver Spear is.

: {{Dot1}} - Practices, Your Starting Arcana
: {{Dot2}} - Other Arcana, Proficiencies
: {{Dot3}} - Awareness of other Supernals; your Path's Legacies
: {{Dot4}} - Imbued/enhanced Items; other Order's social structures; your Order's Legacies; obscure esoterica (Souls, Cycles); Ancient Legacies
: {{Dot5}} - Artifacts; Sublime Legacies; Realms Invisible; Very Bad Things

Examples of Specialties which might serve you well: Resonance, Abyssal Intrusions, Legacies (per Path/Order/Left-Handed), Realms Invisible (per Realm)</div></div>

{{header|vtr}}
==Vampire==
The following is a discription of the knowledge that the occult skills will give you about Vampires in the Vampire the Requiem Setting. These are just guidelines, of course; in-play knowledge gained will supersede this. This also doesn't assume complete knowledge -- for something like a Discipline or Bloodline, it would allow a Skill check.<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?8153-Occult-Skill Occult Knowledge Skills]</ref>

: {{Dot1}} - Nothing
: {{Dot2}} - Common Disciplines; Clan & Legendary Bloodlines (fluff)
