Weaving Threads to Pattern Items
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2016 4:18 pm
You get hold of a major pattern item. It has one Key Knowledge
You study the pattern item using Item History vs Mystic Defence 15
You succeed and find out the Test Knowledge (the name of the True Pattern)
So you've just used Item History and found the test knowledge
So what's 'Studying a Pattern Item' on page 228 for? Is it just a detailed explanation of how to find the Test Knowledge mentioned above?
Also, what's the 'Research' part on page 229 for? "To research a True Pattern the character may use the Research skill." What's this research part if you've already found out the test knowledge? If the test knowledge was about finding out the true pattern's name, is this Research skill check simulating you finding out that name? If so, I thought you had to gain that info (the name) through roleplaying.
I'm lost here
