Discovery is the ability to realize the potential of an idea. Anybody can have an idea, but the Scientist knows how to get it out of his head and into his hands.
Career Skills: Awareness/Notice, Research and Development, Basic Tech, Education (minimum 5, Science), Library Search, Logic, Math, Intuition, Science (pick one area of expertise in a science field)
Research and Development is the nuts and bolts of getting to any discovery/invention.This includes the practical application of the scientific method, as well as knowledge of how to obtain funding and present your discoveries.
Library Search is the ability to use databases.
Logic, as opposed to intelligence, is the ability to use pure objectivity in one's thinking.
Intuition is the creative factor of one's thinking that allows one to explore new ideas and hypothesize based on previous experience and quite often on a sheer hunch.
Playing the Scientist in FFRP:
Scientists in 2020, just as today, are creative and imaginative people, but they are often distracted from the seemingly mundane tasks of daily life by the excitement of new discoveries and ideas. They are a curious dichotomy of scientific passion and objective detachment that makes them an enigma to general society. Quite often they consider themselves above the common laws that govern society, relating better to ideas and tech than they do to people.
