MET LARP SRD

Carpathians are ancient, and their knowledge is vast, giving them an insight into things other vampires have forgotten. You can use your knowledge to adapt to any situation, calling on your age-old education to ensure you are always prepared. If you can spend three standard actions to prepare, you may immediately use your total dots of your choice of either the Lore or Academics skill in place of any other skill in a static challenge test pool. For example, you could substitute either your Lore or Academics skill for Security in order to pick a lock, relying on your broader understanding of clockwork or engineering for this task. This substitution applies only to a single opposed challenge; once you have attempted the challenge, you must once again prepare in order to use this merit’s benefit again. Once you begin preparing, you must use the benefit immediately or lose it; you cannot store or maintain this benefit over time.
