Focus

A Focus is an element of character's playing stats the denotes a specific area of expertise that character is skilled or knowledgable in. Focuses can be related to any aspect of a character's experience, from a hobby, to a sub-discipline of one of their areas of expertise.

Gameplay
In gameplay, a Focus can be invoked when the Task the character is attempting is somehow related to the focus. For example, if a character has a focus in Botany, and the task is scanning an alien plant, the player could invoke the Focus when attempting that task.

When a Focus is invoked, it doubles any Successes rolled. If one Success is rolled, the Focus doubles that to 2, 2 becomes 4, and so on.
