[QUOTE="Xanterith, post: 3167027, member: 47264"] Currently I am playing a level 4 Bard, 5 Wizard, 3 Loremaster. The question I have has to do with skills and the lore abilities of the Bard and Loremaster classes. Basically I want to know if there is anything in the rules that says you can only roll one check against something. For example, if you came across a legendary arcane gate or something similar, would you get a roll for Knowledge: Arcana, your Bard Lore Ability, and your Loremaster Lore ability? My opinion is that yes you would get to roll all 3 and each would give you different information. If all three results were passed for said gate, I think the Knowledge: Arcane would give you information on the workings of the gate, Bard lore would give you information on the stories and history of it, and Loremaster lore would be a little of both. In addition, you may even get more rolls for Knowledge: History and Knowledge: The Planes depending on the function of the gate and what it was used for. Does this sound reasonable? Last night during our session my DM said that he wasn't sure if it was appropriate that I was rolling both Bard and Loremaster abilities, and while I can see his point, I think both of these get information from 2 independent sources and therefore should have independent rolls. If they don't, would it be appropraite for them to stack? Thanks for any help you bring. [/QUOTE]
