Difficulty
Lore attempts have no set difficulty. The higher the DL, the more obscure or ancient the information is.
| Example | DL |
|---|---|
| Something trite (fish don't have hair; deserts are dry) | 5 |
| Normal information (a king's length of reign; the stories of a common place of mystery) | 10 |
| Somewhat uncommon information (vampires cannot see their reflections; the traditions on a major holiday in a distant country) | 15 |
| Fairly uncommon information (the family tree of a noble; the cure for a rare disease, the vulnerabilities of a giant slime) | 20 |
| Extremely specific or forgotten information (the names of all blood vessels in a reptile, the secret password to open a long abandoned fortress) | 30 |
| "How do you know that?" (the names of all past owners of a particular non-magical walking stick; an ancient queen's tea preferences; the sum of the number of protons in the atoms of the noble gases) | 40 |
