Just small and quick question.
Have some races specific lore check DC on what race others see in description?
Not that I am angry that people see me as human...but..I am just curios...

I'm not sure what you're asking. What specific piece of information in the description are you asking about?

You need to be more concise in what you're looking for, because the only thing race-related that's shown is your specific race (e.g. Moon Elf vs. Wood Elf).

I think he means information about the race (i.e. 'moon elves are the most common elf, they blah blah blah...').

In which case I would suggest googling it if you want to know more. It's already a hassle scrolling through some people's overly verbose descriptions on that small description screen, adding a few paragraphs of lore isn't going to make that better :)

Thats it...I am curios if some races have DC on lore check on that modified to make it harder then normal.

As I understand it, when you view a character's description you will always get a generic race reading like "elf", however, if your lore is high enough, you will be able to determine if that elf is a sun elf, wood elf, etc.

Furthermore I’d be curious what the DCs are or if it’s bugged? I have a char with lore in the 30’s and still see Drow as Elves.. the only race I can seem to distinguish mechanically is an Orog from a half-orc.

In response to the TC I would simply suggest stating you “You see a so and so of X race in...” somewhere in your char description, it’s fairly common with tieflings who aren’t trying to be coy about it in my anecdotal experience.

These cannot be detected via racial Lore checks.
