Re: [DL] Accademia Occult

[Horace Black <horaceblack@yahoo.com>]

  I use it to reveal information about a creature,
arcane effect or item on a successful roll.  Such as
rolling a Fair (5) roll for vampires might show that
the character knows the common lore of vampires
(stakes to the heart, adversion to garlic, ect.), but
an Incredible (11) roll might indicate knowledge that
very few if any might know (the name of a powerful
vampire lord, the origins of vampirism, ect.).
  I think it's important to remember also that the
average cowpoke hasn't been exposed to all this
knowledge as we have in our current culture.
  If you where to ask the average teen what the
weaknesses of a vampire where right now, they could
tell you numerous things, but if you asked most anyone
in the 1870s American west the same question, you
could get a curious look followed by the question of
"What's a vampire?".
