Tech Insight

You have a special and rare talent to understand technology, even the most far fetched.

You have a +3 bonus to the results of your Smarts & Tech rolls when it comes to determining the purpose of ancient artifacts, how they work, their underlying scientific and engineering principles, how to interact with them, how to use them and how to craft them, provided they are in your community's Tech Stage.
You can attempt a Smarts & Tech roll without any bonus to be able to understand the purpose of a device well beyond your community's Tech Stage, how to interact with it, and how to use it. However:
- You won't be able to understand how it works, and of course you wont be able to craft it or repair it.
- If you fail this roll, or the roll intended to somehow interact or use the device, it has dire consequences. For mechanical purposes, all failures in such rolls are considered Critical Failures.

It is rumored that the ancients died by their own tech.
Hence, fucking around with advanced tech is as unwise as trying to pet an alpha Wocog. Think twice before you do it.
