Lores

Knowledge on a subject or matter can translate into power. Knowing information about one’s enemies and one’s friends has always been important, but so has knowledge on a great many subjects.

Lore skills allows a character to round out their education as it were and can but augment one’s roleplaying and one’s prowess when dealing with certain problems or dangers.

A Lore marked with [R] is restricted and a character may not start with the Greater Informational Lore, they may only purchase a single lesser lore from that group.

A member of a race may purchase the Greater Racial Lore that contains their race at character creation.

The exception is Ethereal Races lore. No one may start with Greater Information Lore: Ethereal Races, and only a member of an Ethereal Race may purchase a Lesser lore in that group.
