Foe Lore

You have access to, and are well versed in, a vast repository of information on various monsters that has been painstakingly collected by countless adventurers before you.

• Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Gain proficiency in History if you are not already proficient.
• If you have gotten a good look at a non-humanoid creature, you can spend 1 minute out of combat to delve your memory to try to recall a tale of another adventurer who has fought this kind of monster before. Make a History check, the results are determined by the highest threshold you meet with your roll:
  • DC 15: You recall the name of the monster, but little else of value.
  • DC 20: You recall the name of the monster, and the DM tells you about a recorded fight with this monster. You remember what the adventurer attempted, and whether or not it was successful.
  • DC 25: You recall the name of the monster. You tell the DM one strategy you're considering trying against this monster, and the DM tells you about how well that has worked for adventurers before you who have tried the same approach.
