This allows the hero to start with up to eight Intellect skills with the word science in italics in their descriptions. Scientific geniuses have no limit to their number of skills, as long as all of them are sciences. Aeronautics: The science of flight. Your hero knows about wind velocity, aerodynamics, speed control, and the harsh effects of gravity. Archaeology: The science of ancient treasures. Your hero knows a great deal about paleontology, historical records, and ancient sites. Architecture: Designing and recognizing designs of buildings and other large structures.
