Use this skill to learn information from books, the internet, or other standard sources. Research allows you to navigate a library, an office filing system, a newspaper morgue, or the World Wide Web. It doesn’t include talking to people and asking questions; that’s handled by Gather Information or role playing encounters.
Check:<\/strong> Researching a topic takes time, skill, and some luck. The GM determines how obscure a particular topic is (the more obscure, the higher the DC) and what kind of information might be available depending on where the character is conducting his or her research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type of Information<\/th>DC<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
General
Major corporations with offices in Des Moines. The address of a suspect.<\/em><\/td>		10<\/td><\/tr>
Specific
The meaning of an obscure arcane symbol. Court testimony from a trial.<\/em><\/td>		15<\/td><\/tr>
Restricted*
The maximum operating depth of a Seawolf-class submarine. The specific military units assigned to a covert operation.<\/em><\/td>		20<\/td><\/tr>
Protected*
The number of alien bodies recovered from the Roswell crash site. The identity of a government informer.<\/em><\/td>		25<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
* Usually requires access to a restricted information source, such as a secure Internet site or a private archive, before a check can be made.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Information ranges from general to protected. Given enough time (usually 1d4 hours) and a successful skill check, the character gets a general idea about a given topic, such as the latest news in an area, the public history of an old building, or a few facts about a well-know individual. This assumes that no obvious reasons exist why such information would be unavailable, and that the character has a way to acquire restricted or protected information.
The higher the check result, the better and more complete the information. If the character wants to discover a specific fact, date, map, or similar bit of information, add +5 to +15 to the DC.
Try Again:<\/strong> Yes.
Special:<\/strong> A character can take 10 or take 20 on a Research check.
A character with the Studious feat gets a +2 bonus on all Research checks. Computer Use can provide a +2 synergy bonus on a Research check when searching computer records for data (see Skill Synergy).
Time:<\/strong> A Research check takes 1d4 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
