Second Level Lores (arrow symbol) are "current level" xp. This is to represent that some of what you learned was covered by your general lore. You need one of these at 3 dots to receive your first Third level lore (dots) for free. <Br><Br>
 
Third Level Lores (dots) are 2xp per dot. Again, to represent that you learned some of this in previous levels.<br><Br>

'''Difficulties''':<Br><Br>
 
General Lore Only = starts at Diff 6 ---->Ex: You only have Mage Lore (Roll Int + Mage Lore vs 6)<Br>
 
Applicable 2nd-level "specialty" = starts at Diff 5 ---> Ex: You have Traditions in your +specialties (Roll Int + Mage Lore vs 5)<Br>
 
Applicable 3rd-level "specialty" = Each 10 rolled gives 2 succ ---> EX: You have Verbena Lore in your +specialties (Roll Int + Mage Lore vs 5, Each 10 rolled gives 2 succ instead of 1)<br> <Br>
 
{{dots|0}} - You can believe that anything exists, you just have no concrete proof of it. "Nothing new under the sun or moon" clause.
 
{{dots|1}} - You have some proof positive experience that such things exist, you've seen one in person but you know more falsehoods than fact about that object.
 
{{dots|2}} - You have a basic understanding of many of the myths or knowledge regarding that topic. An example would be a horror movie buff. Still not everything you know is accurate.
 
{{dots|3}} - You have some actual contact with the subject of your lore and direct personal knowledge that cuts away many of the falsehoods about the subject. Many Hunters and members of the Inquisition possess this level of Lore. Things start getting dangerous, potentially.
 
{{dots|4}} - A more than personal contact but direct knowledge or an information source about that topic, perhaps the source is the topic. Someone in that sphere (PC or NPC) knows what you know, for good or bad.
 
{{dots|5}} - A knowledge and understanding of all the truths and perhaps more of the topic. For many supernatural races you are considered a danger and potential threat to be eliminated if your level of intimacy with their race becomes known.

At the time the roll is made, if an applicable specialty has been set,
 
any 10 rolled equals 2 successes. With the exception of Lores, see above.

This topic will be explored if at any point we decide to open other supernatural spheres.

If you are going on vacation for more than two weeks please contact staff so that proper flags and notes can be set on your

If you have not logged into your character after the expiration date for your vacation, the vacation flag will be cleared
