Required Knowlege Skills

[SeeleyOne]

I can see in the editor how any knowlege skill can be looked at, using Scholar as an example. But how would I have it require a specific knowlege? I have seen several edges that require the Knowlege (Battle) skill. I can easily make up a skill that has that already decided, but it does not work with the Scholar edge. So, I need to know how to make it look at a Knowlege on the character and decide if its entry field has the correct name in it (and skill rating).

Tactician is an edge that shows (by example) how to use a focus within a Knowledge skill as a requirement for a given edge.

There is one equation that I cannot quite figure out. How would you add a bonus to a specific knowledge skill? Say I have an Occult knowledge (or any other), which is specific to a given edge (and therefore not selectable, like Scholar), how would I make it add a bonus to that specific skill?

This ought to do it...

foreach pick in hero where "thingid.skKnow"
  if ( compare(lowercase(eachpick.field[domDomain].text),"value" ) = 0) then
    eachpick.field[trtBonus].value += 1
    endif
  nexteach

Cool, it works. Thanks!

I should point out to those that may want to know that trtBonus adds to the number of dice, and trtRoll adds a bonus to the roll (not a die).

Oh, and on the topic of Knowledges, does anyone know how to make a list that you can look at? That way you don't have to type out common uses of Knowledge, such as Battle, Mythos, etc.

Unfortunately, we had to leave that completely free-form.
