Lore
Lore represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline. Every Lore skill works the same way, they only apply to a different field of study.
Answering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).
For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.
