Loremaster PRC Questions - Secrets

Post by WanderingPoet » Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:30 pm

If you get a secret of knowledge from loremaster, what does it cost? Clerics use piety, wizards use spell components. What if you're a wizard that picks up loremaster, do you have to pay? What if you have the ESF AND the secret, does it become free?

Is there supposed to be a 10th level secret? The wiki states so, but the PGCC doesn't give it.

What is the DC for -ward? Is it based off whatever casting class you have? (wis for ranger/druid/cleric/paladin, cha for bard/hexblade/sorc, int for wizard?)

Does secret of scrying give the ability to detect when you're being scried that ESF scry does?

I am also very interested in these questions.

As to your second question, the wiki was incorrect but has been corrected. You do not get a fifth secret at 10. Looks like that secret is replaced with Tutor.

Regarding SK-ESF on Loremaster, I've got an ongoing bug report here:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=29756

I can help test ESF Scrying, but my own casting scores are low (unless it's using my INT, but that's not being gear-boosted), so it would likely take multiple attempts...

Thanks for fixing up the wiki @SkipiusEsq!

Good to know that they require components, though I agree from your bug report that it makes no sense for a divine caster (or a bard) to need components. Hopefully it gets changed to just being free via loremaster!

Can a dev answer the other questions?
