Lore allows a character to identify unknown magic items.
- Ability: intelligence
- Classes: all
- Check: A roll against an unidentified item's value to determine magical properties that the item may possess.
- Special: Bards are able to identify items easier than other classes. Various spells and items can also give a character a bonus to their lore skill.
- Use: Automatic every time the player inspects an item.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The bonus bards receive is equal to their class level, acquired with the bardic knowledge feat. Harper scouts also receive a bonus equal to class level from the same feat.
- Instead of a roll, the following table is used (defined via

).
