Archaeology

From ElanVital

Basic Facts

Skill Definition: Archaeology is the discipline of study of ancient artifacts, both their proper excavation and their meaning/context in history.

Common Uses: Archaeology on Voltumnus usually focuses on uncovering the rich history of the Sessuyan people, though some individuals study the far more well-known history of Titania itself.

Rule Information

Rule Notes: Archaeology is currently rolled both for proper excavation of delicate objects and for dating them/recognizing their purpose.
Common Modifiers: Archaeology is typically rolled at 0, but rolls to recognize objects may be modified based on the age/obscurity of the given object. Recognizing a piece of colonial technology from 500 years ago might be rolled at +1, as the culture has not changed much in this time; deterning the use of a strange leftover from the Sessuyan's ancient culture might be rolled at -1 or worse, for its age and exotic nature.
Counterskills: None relevant.
