	The ATA Gene (Ancient Technology Activator Gene) comes from a particular combination of gene expression and brain pattern development that only present in Ancients, their descendants or a few Tau'ri who are compatible enough to respond to the developed gene therapy. The Ancient's mental technology controls are keyed to ATA, allowing those with superior expression, practice, and talent to utilize them more quickly and precisely. In many cases, particular levels of ATA expression are also used as system "locks" to prevent unauthorized access to advanced or dangerous technologies.

	Instead of dealing with the supernatural, the '''Occult''' skill is used to represent knowledge of pre-human galactic history. In particular, it covers the history, society, and technology of the Ancients (including the Lantians), Nox, Furlings, Asgard, Goa'ul, Wraith and similar. Note that technology, in this case, refers to what they were capable of. Understanding ''how'' the technology works is still the realm of the '''science''' skill, building or repairing it is '''crafts''' and using it is '''computers'''.

New page

{{Infobox Stargate Underground}}
Stargate: Underground uses the World of Darkness (nWoD) storyteller system. There are, however, a number of house rules and modifications in place to represent the differences in world and theme.

== Fundamental Changes ==
These are major changes in how the system works. These are entirely put in because of the difference in theme from the horror-noir tales of standard "World of Darkness" setting and the exploration/adventure tale intended for Stargate: Underground.
=== Morality ===
* Morality is not used. As such, Derangements are also not used.
=== Willpower ===
* Neither Virtues or Vices may be used to regain spent points of Willpower.
* Each map contains one ''Story'' event which triggers the full willpower refill.
* To regain a point of willpower during a rest cycle, it must be a full, uninterrupted night's sleep in a ''safe'' location.
== Character Creation ==
There are a handful of changes to the standard character creation system. Most of them are reflective of the unique environment the team finds itself in, which may significantly impact the usability of some skills.
=== Obsolete Skills ===
The following skills are considered critically unimportant in this setting, as they are unlikely to be rolled more then once or twice during the entire setting, if at all. As such, players may add ranks in these skill as feels appropriate to the character's background at no cost. (Keep it reasonable.)
* Politics
* Drive
* Socialize
* Streetwise
=== On Occult ===
Instead of dealing with the supernatural, the '''Occult''' skill is used to represent knowledge of pre-human galactic history. In particular, it covers the history, society, and technology of the Ancients (including the Lantians), Nox, Furlings, Asgard, Goa'ul, Wraith and similar. Note that technology, in this case, refers to what they were capable of. Understanding ''how'' the technology works is still the realm of the '''science''' skill, building or repairing it is '''crafts''' and using it is '''computers'''.
=== Automatic Merits ===
* '''Language''': All characters may gain a second 2-dot level language for free at character creation. Either this or your native language should be English. Knowledge of other modern terrestrial languages may also be granted for free, at Storyteller's discretion.
* '''Status''': All characters start with '''Status (Military Branch) 2''' and '''Status (Atlantis) 1'''.
=== Unused Merits ===
Several (primarily social) Merits are untranslatable or simply irrelevant in Stargate: Underground due to the nature of the Adventures.
* '''Unseen Sense''': This Merit is not used.
* '''Fighting Finesse''': This Merit is not used. Some weapons may allow (or require) use of dexterity inherently, however.
* '''Barfly''': This Merit is not used.
* '''Contacts''': This Merit may not be taken at character creation.
* '''Fame''': This Merit is not used.
* '''Mentor''': This Merit is not used
* '''Resources''': This Merit is not used.
* '''Retainer''': This Merit is not used.
=== New Merit: ATA Gene ===
The ATA Gene (Ancient Technology Activator Gene) comes from a particular combination of gene expression and brain pattern development that only present in Ancients, their descendants or a few Tau'ri who are compatible enough to respond to the developed gene therapy. The Ancient's mental technology controls are keyed to ATA, allowing those with superior expression, practice, and talent to utilize them more quickly and precisely. In many cases, particular levels of ATA expression are also used as system "locks" to prevent unauthorized access to advanced or dangerous technologies.
