In reply to The Gamesmaster (msg # 567):
What do I need to do? My skill level is 1.
Add the appropriate special skill rank (in this case 1) to your SKILL (in this case 7), then roll two d6 and try and get under or equal the combined total (in this case 8). :)
Anyone who doesn't have a World lore special skill just roll against their base SKILL.
Magic users (that would be Dappa and Vithrain) can substitute their MAGIC score instead of their SKILL score for Lore rolls (World Lore, Sea Lore, Forest Lore, etc.)
