Ocean Sciences

This skill is about the aquatic aspect of life. With Biology the character can study and dissect underwater life, with Botany he knows aquatic plantlife. With Veterinary Medicine, the character may treat aquatic animals, and with Animals the character can tame and ride them. Even with Technology and Engineering skills, this is the character's ability to work with machinery underwater and have it work properly without being damaged.

This skill is meant to enhance other skills (Veterinary Medicine, Biology, Botany, Animals, and even technology and engineering skills), although on it's own it is the study of ocean currents, the geographic structure of the ocean floor, and locations of general wildlife. This skill likely does not exist in a Past setting.
