I am willing to ask him for the sake of science. @iserith Do you currently have FrogReaver blocked?I'm wondering if that's how it is working here. maybe you can get iserith to replay if he does have me blocked as I suspect.

In another thread Morrus stated that the block function worked differently on this platform.yes. I'm wondering if that's how it is working here. maybe you can get iserith to replay if he does have me blocked as I suspect.
I'm sufficiently familiar with Iserith's forum presence to doubt that this is really the reason.
Maybe you remember all of those things, but a lot of other people remember less. You just rolled higher than they did and remember more. Why? Because memory DOES work that way. You don't always remember everything, and sometimes you remember very little.
I do it when some quality of a poster consistently makes the experience of reading their posts unpleasant. Like someone who types in all caps, repeatedly hates on 5E, too much pedantry, etc.Then again I've never blocked anyone. But differences of opinion? Sometimes we're going to agree sometimes we're not. If I found someone was being offensive or making personal attacks I'd report it.
I am not those other posters, but I certainly would inform you about the regeneration of trolls. I mentally assign certain DC to certain information, and if the player exceeds that DC then I also provide that additional information.But nobody has answered my question. If I ask "Do trolls have ranged attacks" (or whatever the proper phrasing would be) do I also know about their regen? Is it the same DC or automatic like the answer to my specific question?
Right, but as I've mentioned I don't require much in the way of approach, just goal. "Can I use History to see if I know about X" is okay in my book. Just pointing out that specifying your approach can prevent the DM from making assumptions in that regard. For something where approach isn't especially relevant (like trying to remember something) it's not likely to be an issue.Sure but when it comes to lore recollection there's really not a gotya type moment.
So what if my approach is emember my life experiences and try to recall anything about trolls from those. I've been told that's to vague an approach... but is that actually a vague approach at all? It seems pretty clear and straightforward to me.

I will repeat. There is nothing wrong with learning by doing. "Look! The wound is closing"(doing). Followed by, "I draw upon the lore my grandfather taught me about his adventuring days and figure out how to prevent that from happening"(more doing). Followed by, DM: "You succeed!", "You fail!", or "Roll a d20 and let's see if you know.How exactly is the newbie supposed to know what weakness to ask about? Should he just cover all million possible weaknesses, specifically, so as he is not being to vague?
