 Knowledge in this game is more than just booksmarts and experience. Knowledge is anything your character can leverage to their benefit. So if your character had knowledge: Assets. Then this means they have assets they can leverage to get benefits (think bonuses to numbers) in play. To use this, you describe how the knowledge is helping - in detail - and then you will get a die to roll in the same manner as if you used [[#Cool]]. Knowledge in this game is more than just booksmarts and experience.

 +===== Making the Numbers go up =====
 +
 +The higher the number you have in any Rating or Knack, the better your character. Here is a rough gauge of ability based on the number:
 +
 +  * 10: Capable, beginning professional
 +  * 15: Skilled
 +  * 20: Expert
 +  * 25: Master
 +  * 30+ Amazing
 +
 +Certain numbers can be leveraged for dice (to roll for bonuses as in [[#Cool]]) and when you are able, this is how that works:
 +
 +  * 6-9: 1d
 +  * 10-12: 2d
 +  * 13-14: 3d
 +  * 15=16: 4d
 +  * 17: 5d
 +  * 18: 6d
 +
 +One example of this leveraging is using your Ratings with a General Rule. So if you were able to leverage a 12 INT, you'd get 2d to roll as above. To understand how you'd do this, see [[General Rules]].

 +Bonuses from rolled dice stick until end of logical action, or "scene" as the GM declares. This means if you were in a shootout and raised your Shoot/Pistol by 7, it stays raised until the shootout is over. Another example, if you were in an interview and raised Insight/Honesty, it would stick until the interview is over.
