Bard Lore Feat

[Thin Ice]

I noticed that the Bardic Knowledge feat no longer provides +1 per 5 levels to any lore. Is this a bug, or is it intentional?

If it's by design, could there be an option to swap the Bardic Knowledge feat? (since it does nothing now)

It should give extra knowledge to Lore: Local, I believe. But you need at least 1 point there. I think!

It's because you have to train a knowledge skill first to get the bonus to it. Put 1 skill point in it and it should work. Putting 1 point in every knowledge skill for instance would net the Bard a 7 in each of them at level 30.

Oh I see! That's odd, I made this character a long long time ago and I could have sworn that my bardic knowledge was working against those skills even though I didn't have points in them. It's a level 30 character, and I never had any problem identifying items... seems now like he has Alzheimer's

Just tried to use the "Potion of Lore," no dice. Same sort of thing?

Yes, this was a recent change made by Rhifox last year during the Time of Troubles to bring the system in line with PNP, where knowledge skills require training to be used.

Well, gotta take the bad with good I suppose. Thank for the updates!
