Lore
Intelligence-based specialized knowledge skill covering a single narrow topic, gained from backgrounds and class features.
Lore (Intelligence)
Lore represents specialized knowledge in a narrow field chosen during character creation or background selection. Each character has one or more Lore subcategories (e.g., Sailing Lore, Underworld Lore, Herbalism Lore, Architecture Lore).
Untrained actions:
- Recall Knowledge: Remember facts relevant to your specific Lore subcategory. This is more targeted than broader knowledge skills.
- Earn Income: Work as a specialist in your Lore field between adventures.
How Lore Works:
- Each Lore is its own skill, always linked to Intelligence.
- You gain a specific Lore when your background grants it, or when a class feature or feat provides one.
- Lore skills cover a narrower topic but with greater depth than general skills like Arcana or Nature.
- You can have multiple different Lore skills.
Examples of Lore Subcategories: Sailing, Academia, Herbalism, Legal, Mercantile, Underworld, Warfare, Scribing, Architecture, Hunting.
