Attribute requirements: An extraordinary IQ (17+)

Skills (take the place of traditional "other" skills):

Anthropology (+20%)

*Psychology (+15%)

2 Lore Skills (+10%)

1 Science skill (their minor) (+15%)

Psychohistory (see below)

An additional +20% on Advanced Math

7 Other skills

All OCC and secondary skills unchanged

Psychohistory

This is a delicate science involving using probability equations to predict possible futures. The base skill is 15% + 5% per level, but there are minuses listed below. This skill is only available to this MOS. Predicting the course of (K=1000, M=million, B=billion, T=trillion):

Special minuses:

Characters with Clairvoyance or Empathy are -10% (each... these are cumulative) because the psionics interfere with the logical nature of their work.

Specialized equipment: A hand-held Statistics calculator/computer adds a +10% bonus to a psychohistory roll.

 So, obviously this guy (or girl, for our fellow players of the finer sex) is not for everybody. Regardless, this character tends to be a real doomsayer, constantly working on formulas determining the end of world. Quebec, or especially Tolkeen could find one of these scientists to be extremely useful in developing strategy. This is definitely a great NPC or non-munchkin OCC.)
