Edges

Librarian: You joined the Librarians, an order dedicated to the preservation of the knowledge gained before the Apocalypse. After initial training, you’ve been sent out into the Wastes to rescue information. You’ve been given a palmcorder to collect data. Librarian palmcorders store data on ghost steel versions of data slugs Each is about the size of an AA battery and can store more information than a large library If lost, ghost steel slugs cost $10 to replace

You are expected to assist other Librarians in acquiring data and to do whatever is required to recover lost information. In addition to any other Hindrances, you also have the Major Vow (gather and restore knowledge). Your training also grants you the Investigator edge for free, and your goal of preserving information gives you a +2 Charisma when dealing with any intellectual or scientific people.

You have a unique opportunity when scavenging. When you draw an Ace, you can choose to trade the listed result for discovering some book on the Librarians’ want list instead. You’re rewarded with a Benny immediately, and gain 2d6 * $100 on arrival back at the Grand Library in Sacramento, CA with the volume (along with the accolades of your superiors). Investigations performed at the Grand Library can find just about any information with a successful Research roll.

Investigator: Your training around finding forgotten knowledge has prepared you to find the most important information in a sea of words. You gain +2 to Research and Notice rolls made to search through desks for important papers, sift through stacks of junk mail for something of note, or spy obscured items from piles of junk or debris.

Mr. Fix It: You add +2 to Repair rolls. With a raise, you halve the time normally required to fix something. This means if a particular Repair job says that a raise will repair it in half the time, you can finish the job in one-quarter the time with a raise.

Hindrances

Vow (Major): You’ve sworn an oath to the Librarians to Gather and Restore knowledge.

Curious (Major): It killed the cat, and it might kill you as well. You feel compelled to check out everything and discover what’s behind a potential mystery or secret.

Loyal (Minor): You risk your life for your friends without hesitation. Some Loyal heroes may not act that way, but are the first to come to their friends’ rescue when they’re threatened.

Lyin’ Eyes (Minor): You have a hard time telling lies - even little white ones. You take a -2 penalty to all Intimidation and Persuasion rolls where lies must be told, as well as taking a -2 to Bluffing and Gambling.
