RESEARCH UNDERSTANDINGS: THE SCIENCE OF CONCEPTION
Constructive Chameleon</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Lore 3, Occult 3, Kismet 2 Prerequisites: Savant's Soul
A skilled savant can research anyone's work. This Understanding increases a character's Kismet and Crafts by 1 for the purposes of determining what Artifacts she may Research. In addition, she may choose to replicate the innate Defect of the artifact rather than placing her own mark on it. Finally, the external penalty of any Research roll is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 0.
<b>Understanding Of Artifice</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Kismet 2 Prerequisites: Savant's Soul
A talented savant can develop incredible devices. This Understanding increases a character's Kismet and Crafts by 1 for the purposes of determining what Artifacts she may Design. In addition, the external penalty of any Design roll is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 0. Note that this is the only way to construct Level 6 Artifacts.
<b>Leaps Of Logic</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Kismet 2 Prerequisites: Natural Genius
Within their area of expertise, a Savant can design artifacts with commendable speed. When researching or designing any artifact covered by Natural Genius, they make their rolls once per day, instead of per week. This is a permanent effect.
<b>Hyperfocus Design</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Kismet 2 Prerequisites: Savant's Soul
The character can focus her efforts to build plans in record time. The character may spend up to her Permanent Kismet worth of Kismet. Every two points spent reduces the time interval of the design roll by 1 (weeks become days, days become hours, hours become ten-minute intervals, and ten-minute intervals become one-minute intervals. This must be activated for each roll, and stacks fully with Leaps of Logic.
<b>Incredible Guesswork</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Kismet 3 Prerequisites: Savant's Soul
Sometimes, a character simply understands what she wants. By spending 2 points of Kismet, the character may compress all three of her design rolls into a single time interval. If this Understanding is stacked with one that reduces time intervals, the second Understanding must be activated seperately for each roll.
<b>Dreaming Genius</b>
Requirements: Any Crafts at 3, Wits 3, Kismet 3 Prerequisites: Incredible Guesswork
The character is a true master of creation. She may spend 1 Kismet to consider her sleeping time as Design time for any artifact. If she possesses the Natural Genius Understanding, she may use this Understanding for free for any of its specialties.
