Description (Specifications)

Sophontic Civilization which covers the rough time periods of TL-1 to TL-33, is defined by the technological development of a defined society using tools to make more sophisticated tools. Proto-sophonts begin the process at TL-0 as they use found objects within their environment as tools to enhance their natural, bodily abilities.

Found Tool Examples

Sticks and rocks are among the most common of improvised found tools.

History & Background (Dossier)

Technological civilization cannot develop without the intermediate step of recognizing objects in their capacity as makeshift tools.
