Otherworldly Lore

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Through a combination of extended study and practical experience, some mages learn certain tricks for dealing with particular types of otherworldly entities. When purchasing this Merit, Otherworldly Lore must be assigned to a certain type of ephemeral being (ghosts, Shadow Realm spirits, goetic demons, entities from a given Supernal Realm, Gulmoth, Underworld creatures, etc.).

When dealing with creatures of the specific type encompassed by her Otherworldly Lore Merit, a mage benefits from the 9-again rule with respect to all rolls — whether magical or mundane; combat related, social, investigative, or whatever — made

upon or against a being of that type. A character may only have one instance of this Merit, representing a resolute dedication to dealing with a given “species” of entity, until she attains her sixth dot of Gnosis, whereupon she may purchase the Merit a second time. At 10 dots of Gnosis, she may purchase a third instance of Otherworldly Lore.
