Occupation - Academic
---------------------

(-1/1*, -2/2*, ...) Property: Specialized - The character has extensive experience in a specialized field of academia such as chronology, anatomy, psychology, or numerics.  Each field gives you access to a small addendum to the Academic Occupation.

(-1) Attack: Don't Hurt Me! (Mind) - No one on the losing side of the combat may initiate combat against you for the remainder of the session.

(-1) Ability: Learned Discourse [mind] (Mind vs. Mind Challenge) - Social.  You may only activate this Ability after conversing with someone for a time about an intellectual topic (freedom, the afterlife, progress, etc).  If successful, learn his/her in-depth opinion on that topic, even if it wasn't forthcoming in your previous conversation.

(-1 per use) One Use: That's Preposterous [one use] (No Challenge) - If something is being done to you that, according to your research, is literally impossible, you may activate this Ability to negate its effects.  You may not do this after the fact.  This may not be used to negate another One Use Ability.  Once per session maximum.

(-1) Recovery: Fascinating! - When you learn something new related to a field of study in which you are Specialized, Recover a point of Mind.

(-1 per level) Influence: Research

(-2) Modifier: Research -> A Quick Analysis - After examining something or someone up close for several minutes, you may expend a point of Influence: Research and speak to a GM when one is available to learn a little bit about it.  Results may be skewed towards your area(s) of specialty.

(2*) Flaw: Bookish - The character is at -1 to his/her base Body score in Body combat, and must expend an additional Body point for each increase to his/her side's total when assisting in Body combat.

   --- -2 CP or 2* to continue past this point ---

(-2) Property: Well-Read - When you spend Influence points from the Academic Occupation (including areas of specialty) to do things between sessions, you are considered to have spent one additional Influence point on each Influence action than you actually did.

(-1) Attack: Test Subject (Body) - The target is considered to be a willing participant for the purpose of any one Attack, Ability, or One Use that you may choose to perform upon him/her.

(-1) Ability: Prestige [mind] (Mind vs. Security Challenge) - Social.  If successful, you may enter a Secure Location.  You may be assisted only by members of the academic community in this challenge.

(-1 per use) One Use: Have The Graduate Students Take Care Of It [one use] (No Challenge) - All of your own Influence points that you have expended during this session are instantly restored.  Does not apply to Influence points originating with other people.

(-2) Recovery: I'm One Of The World's Foremost Experts - Whenever someone acknowledges your vast and compendious learning, Recover a point of Mind or Soul, your choice.  Once per person per session.

(-1 per level) Influence: The Academic Community

(-1) Modifier: The Academic Community -> The Support Of Fellow Scholars - You may use the Recoveries of the University Of Victoria Location once per hour instead of once per session.

(2*) Flaw: Pompous - You will be treated with the respect that is due to you!  If anyone voices the slightest doubt as to your expertise, you must do everything within your power to get him/her to rescind the disparaging comment.  You may not Recover Soul this session until he/she does so.
