Cognition
Root Effect • Passive • Memory • Continuity
Memory is a skill we may exercise. During cognition we may remember details which were lost to us until we revisited a place in the mind’s eye. Especially if another character expresses their shared experience. A specific detail may stand out which no one noticed previously.
Passive Memory
When we have Cognition on our list of Root Effects, we gain the ability to remember additional details about specific places we have been. Cognition may be requested by the player from the Story Guide.
Story Guide’s Notes
When you have a player who’s character has the Cognition Root Effect, especially in pre-written setting notes, offer them additional details or even additional knowledge from a failed variable check. Timing on this is crucial, and this Root Effect is a grand tool for scene sculpting.
