-====== Scholarship ======
-Scholarship represents the knowledge of the physical sciences, engineering, history and culture. Its two counterparts are [[Lore]] which covers the arcane and supernatural and [[Survival]] which covers Natural sciences and Geographical Lore. Scholarship determines the number of additional languages you know.
-===== Actions =====
-//Main Article: [[Actions]]//
-==== Overcome ====
-You can use Scholarship to [[actions#overcome]] any obstacle that requires applying knowledge of the physical sciences or engineering to achieve a goal. For example, you might roll Scholarship to build a bridge across a chasm, under the presumption that your character might have studied it at some point.
-Frankly, you can use Scholarship as a go-to skill any time you need to know if your character can answer a difficult question, where some tension exists in not knowing the answer.
-==== Create an Advantage ====
-Like Investigation, Scholarship provides a lot of very flexible opportunities to create advantages, provided you can research the subject in question. More often than not, you'll be using Scholarship to get a story detail, some obscure bit of information that you uncover or know already, but if that information gives you an edge in a future scene, it might take the form of an aspect.
-Likewise, you can use Scholarship to [[actions#create an advantage]] based on any subject matter your character might have studied, which gives you a fun way to add details to the setting.
-==== Attack ====
-Scholarship isn't used to attack. When debating [[Provoke]] or [[Rapport]] is used to attack, while Scholarship is used to create an advantage based upon your knowledge.
-==== Defend ====
-Scholarship isn't used to defend.
-==== Special ====
-Scholarship determine the number of additional languages you know. You get a number of Languages equal to your Scholarship rating + 1. If you have a Fair(+2) Scholarship you know 3 languages. It is assumed you will take your native language as your first choice, but it is not required.
