Re: [DF] Difference between Hidden Lore and Occultisme?
The skill descriptions suggest that knowing Hidden Lore is unusual, even UB-worthy. You can buy Occultism freely.

Occultism gives less details, but covers Demons, all kinds of magic, spirits, vampires and other undead, alchemy, ancient rites, psychic phenomena, hauntings, different magical belief systems, and about anything else to do with magic or magical critters. All with no specialty needed. Or you could take a whole lot of Hidden Lore skills. A whole lot of them. |

Re: [DF] Difference between Hidden Lore and Occultisme?
Sure . . . something like Occultism (Comparative) or Occultism (Survey) would be fine for a generalist who looks more at the relationships between demons, vampires, cryptids, sorcerers, etc. than at what each of those things is in itself. In essence, it would be the basic, unspecialized Occultism skill with a penalty when used to study anything but relationships and similar generalities. Kind of like Area Knowledge (Earth), in a way.
