Study

Study

Study is an action that lets you draw on knowledge or research to recall lore or facts.

When you take the Study action, you make an Intelligence check to recall information or piece together knowledge about a topic. Depending on what you're trying to know, the DM picks the relevant skill:

• Arcana - spells, magic items, eldritch symbols, planes of existence.
• History - historic events, ancient kingdoms, wars, lost civilizations.
• Investigation - clues, deductions, traps, mechanisms, hidden patterns.
• Nature - terrain, plants, animals, weather, natural cycles.
• Religion - deities, rites, holy symbols, cults, the practices of faith.

The DM sets the DC based on the obscurity of the lore; success reveals what your character knows or uncovers. Some spells direct you to take this action as part of resolving their effect.
