Forbidden Lore

(Heroes of Horror, page 123, DnD 3.5)

[Tainted]

You gain hideous insights into subjects not meant to be understood by mortal minds.

Prerequisite

Bardic knowledge or lore, mild depravity

Benefit

When you make a bardic knowledge or lore check, you add a bonus to the check if the question touches on supernatural, horrifi c, tainted, or otherwise forbidden subjects (at the DM's discretion). Add a +2 bonus if you are mildly tainted, a +4 bonus if you are moderately tainted, and a +6 bonus if you are severely tainted.
