Editing Age of Dragons: Scholar-Sage (section)

==Skills==

===Field of Expertise===

With age and experience, the Scholar-Sage gains an encyclopaedic knowledge of his chosen areas of expertise. This depth of knowledge will be far beyond what a mortal can ever achieve, and will likely rival even the sum knowledge of entire libraries and universities.

When this Skill is taken select a single field of knowledge that the skill represents. You can take this Edge more than once to reflect different fields of Knowledge, but each Edge represents that field only.

Note that what consists a field of knowledge is up for negotiation between GM and player, but it should generally be something that relates purely to known information rather than practical applications, and should be quite limited in scope. Suitable examples for a field of expertise might include the following: 

''Draconic History, Metallurgy, Elvish literature, Brewery, Insect Zoology, Forest Ecology, Alchemic Science, Herbalism, Political geography, Coastal Culture, Orc Culture, Pure mathematics, Statistics, Aerodynamics, Stone construction.'' 

Note that the field should never be an expertise in practical, artistic or non-mental activities (such as blacksmithy, crafting, surgery, martial arts or aerobatics) and should never involve the casting of magic or magical effects. Also, anachronistic fields (such as electronics, computers, etc.) are out of bounds.

The ''Lifepath Skill'' adds the Dragon's ''Arete'' in ''Scholar Sage'' when calculating ''Technique'' within that field of expertise, for example with regards to:
* Testing whether the dragon is aware of an obscure piece of knowledge within that field.
* Research within that field.
* Academic argument within the field.

===Logical Mind===

This ''Lifepath Skill'' adds the Dragon's ''Arete'' in ''Scholar Sage'' when calculating ''Technique'' for the following types of tasks:
* Application of logic to solve problems.
* Employing systematic approaches to investigations, research or deduction. 
* Handling and processing data in a logical way.
