Base Skill: 40 % + 5% per level of experience, with regards to identifying volcanic features and characteristics. +10% from Geology.
Eruption PREDICTION is far less certain, and far broader; for game purposes, however, GMs may wish to allow a predictive chance of 15% +3% per level of experience, within a 6d6 day window, when using sophisticated sensors.
