Not sure I've seen this answer, but while on the subject of singing...

Widseth's allows non-verbal action while singing. I've only ever heard this as being treated as attacking, even in the TokenDB, but a literal interpretation of the token text seems to imply a lore check could be done instead. Or is the idea that communicating that lore to the rest of the party is considered "verbal?"

Lore check is helpful, if you don't already know the weakness. Just use the big brain and recall your monster facts and they are most often correct. Sweet a combat room, we won't take damage!

Can I offer you a coffee without milk instead?”

We lost our rogue in room 3 because of that.
