An example of how History check DCs are set for recalling lore.
| DC | Type of Knowledge | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Common, known by at least a substantial minority of the local population. | A local official’s hobbies and interests; common legends or rumors about a powerful place of mystery. |
| 20 | Uncommon but available, known by only a few people in the area. | The coordinates of an known but uncharted world; legends or rumors about a powerful psionic artifact. |
| 25 | Obscure, known by few, hard to come by. | The customs of a documented alien species; the true homeworld of an ancient royal dynasty. |
| 30 | Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don’t understand the knowledge’s significance. | The most likely location of a long-lost pharaoh’s tomb; the history of a powerful artifact and its creator; the likely coordinates of a fabled but as-yet-undiscovered planet. |
