===Actions=== * '''Overcome:'''You can use Research to overcome any obstacle that requires applying your character’s knowledge to achieve a goal, assuming there is an aspect or stunt that justifies that you would have that knowledge. For example, you might roll Research to decipher an ancient D’ni inscription if you have had exposure to the language before. Also, if you need to dig through archives, Research is used to determine the quality of the information you discover. * '''Advantage:'''Research provides many flexible opportunities to create advantages, provided you can access relevant records. More often than not, you’ll be using Research to get a story detail, some obscure bit of information that you uncover or know already, but if that information gives you an edge in a future scene, it might take the form of an aspect. Likewise, you can use Research to create advantages based on any subject matter your character might have studied, which gives you a fun way to add details to the setting. * '''Discover:'''Investigation is where Research really shines. It can be used to uncover clues that can be found in existing records, and to piece together new insights out of existing details and research. Using Research to get free invokes on clue aspects is relatively common. * '''Sample Questions:''' ** What research has been done on this subject? ** What are the important details to look for when a particular situation occurs? ** Who are the experts on this subject?
