| − | {{dots|2}} - You have a basic understanding of many of the myths or knowledge regarding that topic. An example would be a horror movie buff. Still not everything you know is accurate. |
||
| − | {{dots|3}} - You have some actual contact with the subject of your lore and direct personal knowledge that cuts away many of the falsehoods about the subject. Many Hunters and members of the Inquisition possess this level of Lore. Things start getting dangerous, potentially. |
||
| − | {{dots|4}} - A more than personal contact but direct knowledge or an information source about that topic, perhaps the source is the topic. Someone in that sphere (PC or NPC) knows what you know, for good or bad. |
||
| − | {{dots|5}} - A knowledge and understanding of all the truths and perhaps more of the topic. For many supernatural races you are considered a danger and potential threat to be eliminated if your level of intimacy with their race becomes known. |
