I read somewhere that leader are bad for lore because eventually the leader bonus gives higher initiative score to the party than the leader have, and later in the game he wont be the one who have the first move in the encountes, so lore is semi wasted for the reason you need to wait for him to go to check the resistances, hope it makes sense to you smile
Btw tnx for the help both if you, still waiting for moar replies
