Description

This skill allows you to formulate astonishing new crackpot scientific theories that are far ahead of their time . . . or at least utterly different from the usual assumptions of your tech level. You may attempt a Weird Science roll whenever you work on a new invention or investigate an existing item of weird technology. On a success, you get +3 on an invention attempt. If investigating weird technology, success gives +2 to any skill roll you make for this purpose – and the GM might even allow a default skill roll to operate the device! On a critical success, you get these bonuses and some incredible insight into a totally different problem! Critical failures are always spectacular, although not necessarily fatal or even dangerous.
