Occult
Ability
You are knowledgeable in occult areas such as mysticism, curses, magic, folklore, and particularly vampire lore. Unlike most other Knowledges, Occult does not imply a command of hard facts. Much of what you know may well be rumor, myth, speculation, or hear-say. However, the secrets to be learned in this field are worth centuries of sifting legend from fact. High levels of Occult imply a deep understanding of vampire lore, as well as a good grounding in other aspects of the occult. At the very least, you can discern what is patently false.
• Student: You’ve got a blog about the eerie and the disturbing.
•• College: There seems to be some unsettling truth to some of the rumors you’ve heard.
••• Masters: You’ve heard a lot and actually seen a little for yourself.
•••• Doctorate: You can recognize blatantly false sources and make educated guesses about the rest.
••••• Scholar: You know most of the basic truths about the hidden world.
