Depends also upon context. Streetwise is especially intended for urban environments. Investigate (INT) evidence for plausible truths. Interviewing the other individual with science(psychology) (INT), and getting to know their motives. A psion might succeed with Read Surface Thoughts (Telepathy)...

While I like the aesthetics of your numbers, I can't help wonder where the published numbers are from? For instance, humans evolved the decimal number system out of virtue that humans have 10 digits (fingers). Computers use the base two, or binary, number system out of virtue that logic is...

IRL, there are different levels of automation. It can be that one type of automation is less efficient/more costly than other types of automation. TC RAW, starship automation is designed primarily for humans. AoCS2 RAW is automations designed specifically to assist hiver mentality. On that...

Depends on the ratio of nickel to other alloys present in the mix. Also depend on desired properties of the metal, as Cooling down time affects the mechanical properties of the microstructure. And finally, Slow cooling at recrystallisation temperature helps separate the metal from impurities...

Given the same inside tonnage, can the outside of two Planetoid or Buffered Planetoid hulls be identical? Personally, I'd imagine that Planetoids are rough shaped asteroids, with lots of irregular surfaces. If that were true, then no two Planetoid ships would look alike, even if they followed...

I had that question too. After a quick re-read I'd gleam that the point is that 'The Message' is the focus of the Career Path and the Interaction DM of the Truther only applies to a Persuasion check when speaking about their 'Message.' You could say why does it require a whole career in any...

So these are irrelevant to the discussion. Thank you, I've accidently confused the Spanish Inquisition with the Italian Inquisition. Yes, there was a "government" run by the nobility . There was also a change of pope between the first and second judgement. Galeleo's work was dedicated to the...

Yep, good point. In the Galileo example I mentioned, it is not his meticulous approach to science that makes him identifiable as a Truther <IMO>, it is more the reaction of the Spanish government of the day who were denying him the results of his empirical findings. He could be yelling out "I am...

No. The logic I presented, and TC seems to agree, sis that the "Message" or "breakthru" also risked rubbing against the local authorities. It happened in Galileo's case. The reason such people become "Truther" in the first place, is that they don't agree with the established authority and, ...

Pardon you, I think that is what I said, except I have room to agree with the mechanic, once FOL is understood a bit more.

True, except you don't get a significant following until you have delivered 'The Message' to the masses. 'The Message' doesn't happen just because of career paths - it is something more unique. Take for example Galileo. He was a scientist and a Truther whose message could be summed up "the...

I didn't think of a Truther as being religious. I thought of them as being protesters and idealists, like in a world of cybernetics, they would be against cybernetic implants. Eg, like William Taggart and Humanity Front in the computer game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Interesting but Off Topic View: Have you actually read the article in JTAS volume 10 that the OP is referring to? The question is about a Pre Career advanced extension to the Graduate and Military education, featured in Journal of the Travellers Aid Society. You get a DM+2 if you have already...
