Science (Cyberpunk RED)

Science represents your understanding of scientific principles and technical fields—chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and other academic disciplines. In the Time of the Red, scientific knowledge powers everything from cyberware development to combat drug synthesis, from forensic analysis to understanding experimental weapons. Science uses your INT stat and covers formal scientific knowledge. While Education gives you broad general knowledge, Science provides deep understanding of how things work at a technical level. You can analyze unknown substances, understand biological threats, recognize experimental technology, and apply scientific reasoning to solve problems. In Night City, where biotechnology, nanotechnology, and cybernetics push the boundaries of science daily, this knowledge has practical and sometimes life-saving applications. Understanding the chemistry behind a combat drug, the physics of an experimental weapon, or the biology of a engineered plague can mean the difference between solving a problem and becoming a victim of it.
