Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 12.13 (section)

*  [KYUAD]  '''Lorebook check without the book!  The rules don't say I can do this, but it's safe to assume it would be at least a -10 penalty, giving him a +1 modifier.  Does Kyuad remember reading the name Nazif?'''
** ['''A''']: Here's my issue with that... You shouldnot get the great bonus by being able to drop a prerequisite (ie. referencing the book):
*** "To use the lorebook, the hermetic channeler may '''consult''' it."
*** "The channeler may not take 10 or take 20 on this check, since the information may simply not be available in the book. '''Retries are not possible.'''"
*** "The penalty for scanning the lorebook rapidly is reduced to –5."
**  However, because I want to allow options I WILL allow it.  However, it's at a higher negative modifier than -10 (effectively with only a -10 to your Lorebook modifier you'd still get above a 50/50 chance even though you're not meeting the MAIN prerequisite).  So I've decided that if you do this it will be '''a minimum of -20 modifier'''.  Normally by the rules you are NOT aloud to attempt it at all.  This could be helpful possibly in the future if you are seperated from your Lorebook, so I think it has a good preficit.  
* '''ROLL:'''   Kyuad (Lorebook +11)  ROLLED:  7+11 (-20) =   -2 ''  <br>  Oooo... crappy roll Bill, sorry about that...   ''With this roll - Kyuad gains nothing.  There is no reference to the word "nazif" in his Lorebook.''  <br>  This does not mean that in the future your lorebook couldn't have something related to that word...  You however cannot "reroll" for that word until you learn of it in other ways and note it in your lorebook yourself.
