I'm having trouble finding the right balance with "recall lore" checks for monster identification. I'm talking those Arcana, Nature, and Religion checks made to identify critters. It seems like there's a narrow middle ground between "give them the stat block" and "mechanically useless flavor text." I don't want to ruin the mystique of my monsters by explaining exactly what they are and what they do, but by the same token high-INT characters deserve some kind of reward for their skill expertise.
I therefore turn to the boards for guidance. When it comes to recalling monster lore, what kinds of info do you give to your players? How much is "too much?"
