-====== Lore ======
-Lore represents the knowledge of the arcane, fae, magic, and the healing arts; while [[Scholarship]] covers the book learning (languages, history, science, and engineering).
-===== Actions =====
-//Main Article: [[Actions]]//
-==== Overcome ====
-You can use Lore to overcome any obstacle that requires applying the supernatural knowledge that your character has to achieve a goal. For example, you might roll Lore to decipher some ancient language on a tomb wall, under the presumption that your character might have researched it at some point.
-Frankly, you can use Lore as a go-to skill any time you need to know if your character can answer a difficult question, where some tension exists in not knowing the answer.
-==== Create an Advantage ====
-Like Investigation, Lore provides a lot of very flexible opportunities to create advantages, provided you can research the subject in question. More often than not, you’ll be using Lore to get a story detail, some obscure bit of information that you uncover or know already, but if that information gives you an edge in a future scene, it might take the form of an aspect.
-Likewise, you can use Lore to make create advantages based on any subject matter your character might have studied, which gives you a fun way to add details to the setting.
-==== Attack ====
-Lore isn’t used in conflicts.
-==== Defend ====
-Lore isn’t used to defend.
-===== Stunts =====
-//See also: [[Stunts (list)#Lore|Stunts (list)]]//
-==== I've Read about That! ====
-You’ve read hundreds - if not thousands - of books on a wide variety of topics. You can spend a fate point to use Lore in place of any other skill for one roll or exchange, provided you can justify having read about the action you’re attempting.
-==== Shield of Reason ====
-You can use Lore as a defense against Intimidation attempts, provided you can justify your ability to overcome your fear through rational thought and reason.
-==== Specialist ====
-Choose a field of specialization, such as arcane, herbology, healing, chemist, or zoology. You get a +2 to all Lore rolls relating to that field of specialization.
-==== Third Eye ====
-You may use Lore in place of Alertness for Passive Awareness when dealing with the supernatural.
