This skills gives the character the basic knowledge the need to be a Demon Hunter. First, it teaches the character a secret cypher that is only known to Demon Hunters with this skill. The code cannot be broken by people without the Demon Lore Skill. Since it is not a language, extraordinary means of reading languages will not decode the script.
Second, it gives the character an intimate knowledge of demons. The character has access to an out-of-game book that describes the basics of each kind of standard demon found in LAIRE’s Codex of Monstrous Creatures. This book can be acquired from the Head of Plot. The information in the book is ingrained in the character and cannot be normally forgotten – though magic, alchemy, etc. can make the character forget. This allows the player to review the notes during play. They may not call a Hold to read them and however long it takes them to look it up is how long in-game they take to remember the information. If the character comes across a demon they do not know, they may know enough about demons that some information may be imparted to them by a Plot Marshal. This is at Plot’s discretion.
** Any skill that gives you access to multiple Weapon Skills, for example Master Assassin, satisfies the 2 Weapon Skill prerequisite for Demon Lore.
