Lore and Comprehension are related disciplines, and it is possible for a character to know both. Comprehension is a skill available to everyone and is heavily tied to reading and writing; a score of 1 in Comprehension barely grants the holder an ability to read. While Lore works along similar lines, it is actually a proficiency capped by Intelligence. Knowledge of Lore is important for learning spells. See Magic for more information.

Outside of spellcasting, Lore grants the character knowledge of history and myth. When the party enters a new area, a character with the Lore proficiency may ask the WorldShaper "What do I know about this place?"

WorldShaper: How much information you provide should be based on the player's Lore proficiency.

  • Low - give them some basic knowledge about the place, keep it vague "The history goes back a long while..."
  • Medium - provide useful specifics, say its been around since about, the people feel this way, its currently...
  • High - too them everything. They already know it.
