Occult Knowledge

Mortal Knowledge

Even the most scholarly mortals never know the full truth of the supernatural world, though they come far closer than most. This section details how much a human should know based on their Occult score.

  • 1 Dot - Novice: You possess only a basic understanding of supernatural concepts and mystical practices. Your knowledge is limited to local folklore, superstitions, and simple rituals, but you lack any significant experience or expertise in the occult.
  • 2 Dots - Apprentice: You have embarked on a journey of exploration into the realm of the occult, seeking out knowledge in whispered tales and local legends. You have some basic knowledge that may help you in certain situations, though most of the information you would know is still based mostly on myth.
  • 3 Dots - Adept: You have progressed beyond the novice stage, demonstrating a solid grasp of occult principles and practical skills. This is when some knowledge begins to prove correct, but is still fairly based on legend. Knowing things of a specific nature of the supernatural is still out of reach.
  • 4 Dots - Expert: You have attained a level of mastery and proficiency that sets you apart from your peers. You have dedicated yourself to the study and practice of mystical arts, uncovering hidden truths and unlocking ancient secrets along the way. You possess advanced knowledge, and may be able to discern weaknesses of creatures of the night from what you've learned in your studies. Still, you rely on mortal knowledge and things may not be accurate.
  • 5 Dots - Scholar: You have dedicated your life to the pursuit of knowledge, immersing yourself in ancient texts, esoteric teachings, and mystical practices. You possess knowledge far beyond normal mortal means, at times having direct contact or connection with the supernatural itself for your information. Still, whatever might have been taught to you may all be nothing but a ruse.

Supernatural Knowledge

Few supernatural factions know much about those outside their own. In some cases, the existence of certain factions may even surprise them as much as it would a human. For information on what supernatural factions know or believe about others, see the corresponding Faction page.
