Court herald

Court herald is a prestige class in Faerûn that is closely related to that of the Loremaster. Heralds focus primarily on gaining knowledge.

Becoming a herald
Anyone who decides to enter into this prestige class is visited by two experienced heralds who present the novice with several books containing general lore. After answering questions from the prospective herald, they provide him or her with contacts, usually in the form of knowledgeable sages or Harpers, then take their leave. They later check up on the student, sometimes in secret, reporting their progress to even more learned heralds.

Abilities

 * Secret: All Heralds come across various tidbits of practical information that helps them improve themselves in some way or another.
 * Lore: Court heralds gain knowledge and lore in the same manner as bards.
 * True Lore: Heralds gain the ability to use their lore, once per day, as per a legend lore or analyze dweomer spell.
