[Keia]

KitanaVorr,

In Spycraft, a scientist gets an ability at first level called 'Phd' In game terms, it allows a scientist to have many more ranks in an Intelligence based skill that normal for a character of that level (character level + 10 in ranks in fact). I've been struggling to give Lorelai a specific Phd in a Knowledge. Computer Use, Knowledge skills, Search, (even forgery ) are just some of the Intelligence based skills which could apply.

As stated previously, I'm using the knowledges from D20 Modern (or rather their groupings) so that there is some simplification to the number of skill points needed.

What do you think you'd want for Lorelai's Phd?

For Kitana's Eyes only: What Lorelai remembers from school on the legendary nagas and salamanders . . .

Spoiler

Race: Naga
Location: India
The dragons of India were thought to live in a place beneath the earth's seas called Patala. However, some nagas were said to live at the top of Mount Meru, where they had luxurious palaces with gems that granted wishes, sweet-scented flowers, wonderful music, and beautiful companions. Some looked like humans, although in place of their legs they had a long serpent tail, much like a snake. Other nagas look like giant, multi-headed serpents, with the number of their heads ranging from seven to eleven. One famous Indian dragon was Ananta ("the ruler of all snakes"), who was described as a giant snake with hundreds of smaller snake heads. He was also said to be at the center of all creation, which would tie him closer to the gods and to other nagas.

Another similar naga was Makara, who was the steed of the water god Varuna. Together, they represented the mystical forces of water. Nagas are endowed with magic powers, and were beneficial creatures that were linked closely with the gods. However, underneath all their elaborate trappings, the life of a naga was far from easy. They had to endure many kinds of suffering: the naga's delicious food turns into toads when brought into the mouth, a naga's beautiful companions turn into serpents when embraced, and the scales on a nagas back lie in reverse direction, so that when sand, pebbles or dust land between them the naga endures agonizing pain.

Also, giant golden birds called garuda enter the lairs of these nagas and devour their children and destroy their elaborate palaces.

Like the Ancient Chinese Dragon-Kings, there were also Naga Kings, eight of these in total. These eight Naga Kings, like the Ancient Chinese Dragon-Kings, lived in splendid jeweled underwater palaces. These palaces were also often found beneath the earth.

Race: Salamander
Location: Europe
The salamander is untouchable by fire, and will often seek out flames in the forges of blacksmiths, and they often live at the foot of volcanoes. This small, four footed dragon, though diminutive in size, is very strong. The salamander is usually spotted, and is so cold flames go out at it's touch- which is why it continually seeks fire. This dragon can produce "salamander's wool", a fire-resistant fabric that is spun into clothes; because of this, Marco Polo once argued the salamander was not an animal, but merely a substance.
The salamander is associated with witches, and the crackling of fire was once feared to be the sound of a salamander casting a curse over people and their land. Salamander's also leak a thick, white liquid from their skin and mouth, which causes people to lose their hair and their skin to rash should they touch the liquid.

When a salamander climbs a tree, it's poison leaks from it's skin and as the liquid seeps into the tree, the poison will infect the fruit and kill those who eat it; similarly, a pig infected by the same substance will live a normal life, but anyone who later eats the pig will grow sick and die.

The salamander was believed to be a physical representation of the playful nature of fire to alchemists, and this dragon was a recurring image in heraldry as a symbol of true courage.

Which knowledge area would best work for her so that she can figure out how alien devices work? Think Captain Carter.

I guess whether he would or not is up to you, however, he does understand that an address would be needed to send them home.

Starting with the next post, I will be posting the characters in Stargate SG-1 RPG in Spycraft format as alluded to earlier.

Any questions can be directed here and I will answer them. The character posts do not have attacks detailed (ie weapon attacks and stats) nor do they have history and background stuff.
