New Lores System

[Ailander]

For several reasons, simply proving someone knowledge with a roll of a die is limite in many ways (especially for a setting as old as Forgotten Reaslm were by now every little secret can be known in OOC throught study of the several sources out there) so we devised a new system that is not only a good way to describe the single knowledge but also unlocks more perks for those that learns it

As shown, every character will have an item called PCBOOK that will be unique for each character (you can as well consider it as the character "soul") where everything they achieved will be recorded as well as some special powers they may have unlocked (will be explained more in another topic)

The character knowledge tab will have four categories (we still have to test the limits of how many categories we can fit in there, but we can definitely create more when the numbers becomes too many) but generally will be divided like this

- Creatures:

As the name implies,is the character knowledge about a specific creature (not creture type but single monster/animal/dragon/etc). It will give a general explanation about the habits of the creature, their strong points and weak points. Without the knowledge, the character will not even be able to understand what they are facing (the name of the monsters will appear as "creature"). Moreover, if the character possess the knowledge about the monster, they will be able to receive a small boost in xp against that specific enemy.

Is also possible to learn a creature lore by killing at least 100 of them. We decided to put a hard number and not make it casually, because for some monsters is very easy to reach that number (for example with goblins) and if we put a % (even of 1%) one can get a lore quite easily making the library and the scribe skill pretty much useless on this regard

- Locations:

Just like before, the name is straightforward. Every entry about a specific area will have the (general/DC 10) lore about the place plus some legends the perk of it is not only having knowledge about the place, but also give you *access* to the area. Without knowing the position of a place, afterall, you can't reach it (more in the #"World Map" ). There will also be some secrets locked in the map, some of them achievable only by gaining more lore about the place.

-History:

Is the section that, i must admit, that received the less love so far. In this section will be stored all the lore about the history of the Forgotten Realms and the server. Meaning that all the happenings from the Times of Troubles to this day will be listed here. As shown in the video example, there is one entry that we put from default: The Great War. Is an event that left the Coast and most of the world ravaged and took place instead of the Spellplague (so no, Mystra didn't die, again, and we differ from the canonic WoTC lore from 1370 onward). We plan for the future to let some special quest to be unlocked by acquiring specific history knowledge (like by learning of ruins and such) but is still in development

-Other:
This section is for all those purpouse that at the moment we can't fatom on how to catalogue and/or are player's content. That's right, players will be able to create their own lores for the server throught the skill shown called "scribe" (it will also have other purpouses but will be explained in the crafting system) . In here, those brave enough to overcome the challenges to acquire them, people will also learn about the backscenes of the main plot of the server and what's the goals of those threatening the city of splendors.
