Urban Lore [Wis]
Use this skill to survive in the urban jungle. You are a skilled scavenger of the streets, capable of finding the essentials of life in any city or urban environment, from the capital of a frontier world to the heart of the explored galaxy itself.
Check
You can keep yourself safe in a city or town without relying on others to help you.
| DC | Task |
|---|---|
| 10 | Scrounge enough food and water to survive; find a reasonably safe place to sleep on the streets; avoid getting lost in a city |
| 15 | Determine if an abandoned building is safe or is likely to collapse or be inhabited by dangerous denizens; scrounge enough food and water for two additional people to survive. |
| 20 | Recognize signs of underworld factions (like graffiti tags) and know whose turf you're on; find enough food and water for five additional people to survive. If your check result is 20 or greater, you get a +2 synergy bonus on Gather Information checks in the same area or neighborhood. |
Try Again
You may try to find sustenance or check the safety of a particular building once per day. You may attempt to gain the synergy bonus for a Gather Information check only once per use of the Gather Information skill. If you get lost in a city, you can try to find your way (DC 10) every time you spot a landmark, consult a good map, or ask a local for directions.
