Re: Key Knowledges
Thank you for this Just so I know I have this correct, can someone check this for me please (I've reworded it slightly and added some details): You have Thread Weaving at +4 and you successfully weave one thread to a Major Pattern Item. You find an item, and discover its key knowledge, pay 100 LP fo...

Re: Key Knowledges
You get a bonus to those abilities equal to the Rank of the Thread tied to the item, not your talent rank. What specifically is this "thread tied to the item"?

Re: Key Knowledges

Re: Key Knowledges
Thanks very much for this Mataxes, and everyone. Earthdawn magic system is a little involved but it's the best I've come across. I'd appreciate it if you could get back to me confirming whether buying the rank gets you the bonus to all 3 abilities at once, or whether you need to buy each separately....

Re: Key Knowledges
Still a little unsure about the following: A single pattern item holds a single key knowledge concerning its true pattern What if the true pattern has three key knowledges, one at Thread Rank 1, one at Thread Rank 2, and one at Thread Rank 3?

Re: Key Knowledges
Use Item History to find information on a thread/magic item and pattern items and use Research to find information on a true pattern. Yes.

Re: Key Knowledges
Ok just to clarify here... A true pattern is the bigger picture and a pattern item allows you to see some of the bigger picture.
