Study creature

Study Creature is a folklorist skill trainable starting at guild level 1. It is one of the two ways a folklorist can acquire marks in their folklorist guide, along with the autopsy skill.

Like autopsy, studying a creature can reveal a creature's race, creature type (animal, mythical creature, or undead), alignment, susceptibility to physical and poison damage, and relative dangerousness. It will also tell you whether you or any folklorist has ever studied it before, or if you have ever studied any creature of the same race.

It uses 10 endurance points.

Knowing your enemies is vital, for both creating a proper protection and finding a weakness to abuse. Folklorists study creatures with this skill, but analysis of magic lore, consider and detect alignment are usually needed to analyse the input. Studying creatures is sometimes a dangerous business, since some creatures do not approve this intrusion on their privacy.
