Studious (Downtime)

You put your all into your studies, staying up late, skipping hobbies and social engagements to get a few extra hours in each week; Dedicated Beats apply to Mental Traits. For each week of downtime (to a maximum number equal to your Willpower), you may take one use of a Studious Benefit. For each such instance taken, one future beat becomes a Dedicated Beat when it is awarded. • Critical Thinker (Benefit): Gain one use of the Rote Action quality to a Mental Skill roll. • Organized Process (Benefit): Upgrade a failure to a success on any extended Mental Skill roll. • Well-Studied (Benefit): Gain the benefits of the Area of Expertise Merit on a single Mental Skill roll that uses a Specialty.
