    I'm playing a half-orc f-t. At level 2/3 (f/t) has 0 lore points. Is this normal?

    If you've lowered your INT and WIS to abysmal levels, then these are giving a negative modifier to your lore and probably cancelling whatever lore you've gained from level-up.

    I've never had any good luck with lore except with a mage with high intelligence. It sucks but you just have to buck up and pay to ID items unless you have a mage in your party. If it really bugs you there are mods out there that make you always ID items, no matter what your lore. I think it is in ease of use mod.

    Bards are really good at lore. Followed by mages and Thieves. Clerics can sometimes have good lore depending on how they are set up too. Just because Wisdom is the other stat that can give you a huge lore bonus.

    Meh, you're a F/T, don't worry about your lore value. Leave that to a Bard or Mage. Even then if they can't at least they can learn identify to make it easier.

    True, but I guess you can leave most of the lore to him. Either way, a F/T, half orc especially, shouldn't be concerend about lore.

    Yep that's what I thought too Cara. But hey, a half orc, fighter, thief ... do you REALLY expect a high lore value!
