TECHNICAL SKILL: LORE: DEMONS & MONSTERS
This is the study of demonic creatures and supernatural monsters common
to Rifts Earth throughout the ages and around the world. General
knowledge includes legends of ancient and primitive cultures. Dark Age
tales, and the myths and legends of vampires and the most infamous
demons and monsters, including the dark gods they serve. Specific
knowledge is limited to the continent where the character
lives/originates, and includes the names of the demons and monsters
common to that part of the world, appearance, reputed places of demonic
habitation or attraction, and the creatures' known powers, habits,
appearance, weaknesses, strengths, powers, abilities, demonic
possession, desires and goals. A master of this lore may be able to
identify a particular type of monster by hearing its description or a
description of its actions, seeing a drawing or photograph, or even by
its footprint, how it behaved, killed, or exhibited certain abilities.
This skill can be taken repeatedly to know about demons common to other
lands (England, Europe, Asia, South America, etc.), but each
demographic location counts as one of the character's skill selections.
