New Skills

On a Dead World Alone introduces the following new skills.

Knowledge: Ancients (Int)
This Knowledge skill covers pre-War culture and history, as well as a general understanding of what Ancient life was like.

Technology (Int)
You are skilled at understanding, repairing, and using artifacts of the Ancients.

Identify Artifact
You can use Technology to discover the function of an Ancient artifact. The DC depends on the rarity and complexity of the artifact to be identified.

Repair Artifact
With the right tools and spare parts, you can restore an Ancient artifact to working order. The DC and parts required depends on the complexity of the artifact and how much damage it has sustained.

Repairing a complex artifact, such as a robot or vehicle, takes 1 hour of work, and an appropriate tool kit. At the end of the hour, make a Technology check (DC 20). If successful, you restore 2d6 hit points to the artifact.

Use Computer
You can use Technology to interact with Ancient computer systems. See Computer Systems for details.
