Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvvega" data-source="post: 17160" data-attributes="member: 524">IMC (after reading the PHB entry for Bardic Lore) I changed it to be more like the old style Bardic Lore from 1st Edition (and 2nd Edition).If you carefully read the 3rd edition version, it implies that Bardic Lore is limited to 3 knowledges, and is like giving the bard these three for free.So I scrapped it and just made it a roll to see if the bard knows anything, even if it's fanciful tales, about anything. Depending on the level of success of the roll (I use the optional DMG rule for degree of success) the tale could just be a tale, semi-truth, and so forth.Yes under this system, a bard could conceivably learn the command word to activate the wand of plague wielded by the evil Necromancer Berenon during the 2nd Age Wars, however it would require miraculous rolling.</blockquote>
