Recall command

The RECALL command is the ability to remember various bits of information regarding various aspects of Elanthian lore such as famous people, holidays and the Immortals. Bards are especially adept at recalling this information and through their travels and special guild training are able to recall events that happened in the distant past.

Use

There are minimums in two stats and in one skill. All three are fairly modest, [for using Recall].

Yes, Bardic Mojo, Clerical Devotion, and Paladin Soul State matter. Not to a huge degree, but they can make a difference, although they will not allow bypassing of hard-coded minimums.

Recalling information uses and teaches the Scholarship skill. Recalls are tiered and as your skill increases you will find yourself recalling more and more information.

Recall Types

History

Bards are wanderers, travelers, roamers, moving from city to city, province to province. In their travels, and with their Bardic training, they pick up on all sorts of information others don't. Bards are the tellers of stories and the keepers of knowledge; they know countless stories of legends and folklore, and they remember. Bards are the entertainers and performers, and citizens and commonfolk open up to Bards when they would be suspicious and distrustful of others.

Because of all of these things, Bards are adept at learning information about the areas they visit through numerous means -- local gossip, rumor, legends, folklore, superstitions. Hearing things as they pass through a village, as they talk to its residents, as they spend time in the common rooms of inns, from their knowledge of books and songs and stories, from speaking with and learning from other Bards.

The RECALL HISTORY technique can be learned from and Bard Guild Leader.

Timers and Learning

• Recall teaches Scholarship skill if the topic being recalled is a challenge.
• You can recall 10 times in a row before a timer kicks in and you will gain no more experience.
• Recalls done in succession teach progressively less and less Scholarship skill.
• You can recall the same topic 10 time or 10 different topics and, if the difficultly of the topic is the same, you will learn the same amount.
• The timer is reset every time you use a specific type of recall.
• The timer on Recall Immortal is 6 minutes.
