Player Reference - Lores

Player Reference — Lore

Specialized knowledge your character may be able to draw on during the adventure.

Lore represents knowledge gained from a profession, upbringing, culture, hobby, region, organization, or specialized field of study. If you think one of your Lore skills applies to something you encounter, mention it to the GM.

A particularly relevant Lore may sometimes be more useful than a broader skill such as Society, Nature, Religion, Arcana, or Crafting.

The examples below are only suggestions. Your character may have completely different Lore skills.

If you have a Lore that seems relevant, ask the GM.
