Wisdom Earned; Playing with Lore


Source Player Core pg. 200 

Lore

Intelligence

Lore skills represent specialized fields of knowledge in Starfall Galaxy: from “Terran Lore” and “Drift Lore” to “Guild Lore” and “Outlaw Lore.” Each Lore skill is a narrowly defined category determined by the player and the GM, always narrower than general skills like Arcana, Society, or Occultism. Lore is the historians’ currency, the grifter’s secret, and the pilot’s edge in the Rift: wherever local expertise or ancestral traditions are prized, a Lore skill can unlock secrets, grant social leverage, or open career doors. 

Lore Actions

Lore Heritages

  • Terran Survivor Humans: Your ancestors lived on Terra, and though the precise circumstances of their survival are lost to time, you strongly identify with the culture of the lost planet.


The GM determines which Lore skill applies to a situation. Non-Lore skills always take precedence if broader expertise is required. If there’s a question about overlap, use the skill that provides the most logical advantage for the player’s narrative or challenge.
