Historical Skill »
A historical lens into knowledge and understanding of the specified General Skill as understood in previous eras.
For scientific and medical skills, this includes an understanding of the evolution of domain knowledge as well as any limitations or misunderstandings in that knowledge from previous eras, as understood from the frame of reference of the actor’s native era.
For engineering and repair skills, this includes understanding of the workings of era-appropriate machinery, available tooling, and its use in repair, even if such machinery is no longer available or in use in the actor’s native era.
When operating in a Technology Level context less than the actor’s native level, tests involving the specialized General skill are not subject to the skill difficulty penalty, and any allocated dice may be added to the test pool.
