 :'''Occultism:''' Ref: ''Monster Hunters 2'' p. 8. This is considered a lesser, publicly-accessible skill that can sometimes be useful to a novice vampire hunter, while also covering a wider range of monster-related or otherwise esoteric topics. This skill can be learned or improved through library or internet research.
-:'''Hidden Lore (Vampires): In this campaign, Hidden Lore is considered the base, practical, "know stuff about [creature]" skill (neverminding the skill description in Basic rules). As for Expert Skill (Vampirology), ''Horror'' pp. 28-29, it can function as Diagnosis, Forensics, History, Literature, Occultism, Physiology, or Psychology for this purpose. Learning or improving this skill requires actual interaction with vampires, or hunters/mentors who have actually interacted with vampires.

 <p>From ''Monster Hunters 2'' pp. 16-17:
 <blockquote>''The GM should estimate how well-known the weakness is. For an obvious one (e.g., vampires don’t like stakes through the heart), a champion with the appropriate skill doesn’t even have to roll; anyone else may make an IQ or Occultism roll (at +2 for Occultism) to realize it. For a known weakness (e.g., vampires are especially flammable), roll against the skill at +4 or against straight Occultism. For a slightly obscure one (e.g., vampires are not affected by garlic), roll against the unmodified skill or against Occultism at -4. For an obscure vulnerability (e.g., certain clans of Slavic vampires are allergic to garlic), roll against the skill at -4 or against Occultism at -10. For a highly obscure fact (e.g., this particular vampire is bound to obey anyone with Romany blood), roll against the skill at -8; no Occultism roll is possible.''</blockquote></p>
