Chapter 8: Skills
Cosmos, General Planes
This skill deals with natural facts of the
planes of the cosmos in general. Usually, this entails
information concerning popular locales, geography,
prominent figures or gods and how the universe
is structured. Whenever information or knowledge
such as that listed above is required, a General
Planes skill check is made.
LC: While there is no LC penalty, each educational
course taken formally bestows a + 2 bonus
to the General Planes skill check. Usually, humanoids
do not formally study the General Planes,
though select occupations may, such as priests, sages,
and wizards.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Intelligence ability. Higher results correspond
to better knowledge regarding the General
Planes. The Aedile must decide the TH depending
on the circumstances.
Cosmos, Specific Plane
This skill deals with natural facts of a specific
plane of existence, such as Hell. Usually, this
entails information concerning popular locations,
such as the Tower of Dis, geography, prominent
figures or gods, etc. Whenever information or
knowledge such as that listed above is required, a
Specific Plane skill check is made.
LC: While there is no LC penalty, each educational
course taken formally bestows a + 2 bonus
to the Specific Plane skill check. Similarly, every adventure
to the plane where a good duration is spent
also bestows a + 2 bonus. Usually, humanoids do
not formally study a Specific Plane, though select
occupations may, such as priests, sages, and wizards.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Intelligence ability. Higher results correspond
to better knowledge regarding a Specific Plane.

often performed when a character is happy, partaking
in a celebration or festival, or when desiring to
mate.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from Kinetic Charisma and Agility.
Higher results correspond with a better dancing performance.
