Lore Benefit

Training in Mental Lore, Manipulation increases the chance to cause the target's weapon/shield to explode by reducing the endroll minimum. The minimum number of ranks to receive this benefit is one. With lore training there is a minimum endroll reduction bonus of 2 plus an additional reduction based on lore ranks. For ranks 1 to 5 the reduction is 1.2 per rank, ranks 6 to 10 (0.8 per rank), ranks 11 to 15 (0.6 per rank). The bonus for ranks >15 has not been sufficiently tested.

Examples:

5 ranks will reduce the minimum ER required to shatter an item from ER 150 to ER 142.

2 base + (5 * 1.2 per rank) = 8 total reduction

10 ranks will reduce the minimum ER from 150 to 138.

2 base + (5 * 1.2) + (5 * 0.8) = 12 total reduction

If the target is stunned, there is a flat reduction of 20 to the minimum ER threshold for shattering an item. This is in addition to any lore bonus. As an example, with 5 lore ranks the minimum endroll for shattering an item when the target is stunned is ER 122.
