Turbine's Description:
Lore-master
Races: Elf, Man
'This only would he say, that Imladris was of old the name among the Elves of a far northern dale, where Elrond the Halfelven dwelt, greatest of lore-masters.'
-The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Council of Elrond"
A keeper of ancient lore and otherwise lost knowledge, the Lore-master uses his knowledge of the lesser and greater powers of the world around him to stave off the advances of the shadow for a time, and to treat the wounds and suffering of his companions. In dire need he can use this knowledge to hurt his foes; but this task being extremely difficult, a wise Lore-master would rarely attempt it.
The Lore-master will be the class of choice for the player that enjoys using the power of ancient lore to aid their allies and hinder their foes. Steeped in the histories of Middle-earth Lore-masters are able to aid their fellows in recovering from maladies caused by the forces of the Dark Lord. They can also use their knowledge to daze, harm, or hinder their enemies, as well as give of themselves to strengthen another. Some Lore-masters are even said to be able to communicate with animals and request their aid. A Lore-master's combat style is anchored in the power of knowledge and using it intelligently to defeat evil.
Skills of the Lore-master
Raven-lore: An understanding of the speech of ravens allows the Lore-master to call upon one.
Beacon of Hope: Transfers morale to an ally or pet.
Blinding Flash: A blinding flash accompanied by a loud crack and the smell of gunpowder causes the target to stop all action. Any damage caused to the target will break its stupor.
Cracked Earth: The ground cracks beneath a target's feet, doing damage and hampering their movement.
Burning Embers: Red-hot embers swirl around the target, causing damage over time.
Gust of Wind: Air swirls around the target, kicking up debris and other objects that can cause damage to enemies.
