MET LARP SRD

You are familiar with occult topics such as mystic philosophy, superstition, or folklore. Occult includes knowledge of many traditions such as Jewish Kabbalah, primitive shamanism, New Age beliefs, or psychic research, but is always appropriate to mystic studies. It does not imply a command of hard facts, but basic knowledge of rumor, myth, legend, and hearsay.

Use a standard action to visually scrutinize an individual within three steps. You automatically detect the telltale signs of active rituals on the person or magic items carried by that individual. This does not allow you to identify what these rituals or items do, nor to identify spells they can cast that are not active (nor to tell if the individual possesses Thaumaturgy or if the rituals were cast by another). Further, characters with the Occult skill may purchase the Occult advantage for their Haven background (for more information, see the Haven background on page 102). You cannot apply this advantage to a Haven that is not your own.
