This is a site-wide House Rule 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.

This is also a guideline -- IC experiences override this.
